Va/DC/Md meet

Seems the weather is starting to cooperate with us. Would be great to get together with fellow RX-8 owners and share Info on our cars. I am open to suggestions but I will say that this Sunday(29Feb) is looking good weather wise. Perhaps somewhere in the Tyson's Corner area.

How about HIGH NOON Sunday February 29th at the large parking lot adjacent to Fuddrucker's on Spring Hill Road at Leesburg Pike (Route 7)? Plenty of room for everyone!

For those that prefer week night gatherings, the Mazda Sportscar Club of Washington meets at the same location Wednesday evening March 3rd. Cars start showing up between 6:30 and 7 pm.

I am game for 1200 on Sunday or we could just wait for Wednesday march 3rd. I am not sure what the weather will be like that far out but Sunday is calling for sunny and 64 for a high. We have time to decide and get a roll call.

Looks like this is an OFFICIAL RX-8 meeting now! So come on all you RX-8 owners and enthusiasts... Sunday February 29th noon to whenever you leave at the large parking lot adjacent to Fuddruckers in Tyson's Corner VA.

Directions:
From the North or South take the I495 Capitol Beltway to the Tyson's Corner exit for Route 7 west. Continue through seven or eight lights to Spring Hill Road and turn left. (You will pass McDonalds on the RIGHT and Rosenthal Mazda on the LEFT just before you reach the light at Spring Hill Road) Turn left into Fuddruckers and then an immediate left again to enter the larger, usually empty, parking lot. Or just look for the other RX-8s.

From the west, take Route 7 to the second light past the Dulles Toll Road and turn right at Spring Hill Road. Fuddruckers will be on your left.

Attendance Roll Call

Is that really Captain Jean Luc Picard on this forum? He did say Make it So Number 1.

Remember the episode where he says Mr. Brocoli?

I will try to get by at noon on Sunday. We may run out to the beach for the day if the weather is really good, though. We'll see ...

When I went last month, the Mazda Sportscar Club had a whole room in the back set aside for them. Maybe they can do that for us as well?

This Fuddruckers is a great location for me because I work just across the street from it, it's right behind Rosenthal Mazda, and I live just a few miles away!

Nah, but if Jean Luc was to drive a car, I'm sure it would be an RX-8!

Capt. Picard

True, I agree with that. Captain Jean Luc would indeed drive the RX8. But frankly, I think Picard would love to drive Dr. Crusher. I know those 2 had a thing on on the Enterprise.

Dont y'all agree? Honestly, Picard would probably even like to drive Deanna Troi.

Personally, I'd rather drive a Geo Prism rather than driving Deanna Troi. Hey, but we're not talking about me.

Actually, I'd rather a donkey than a Geo Prism.

Dr. Crusher was cute . . . for an 'older' woman, but it's only 7 of 9 for me! :p

Sorry Good RX8 Men

Sorry, but you'll have to count me out again. I've got a lot going on tomorrow but I hope you all have a great time and it'd be great if you'd post some photos afterwards.

Enjoy and Safe Driving.

There's a chance I can make it on Sunday. Since my 8 is stock I'm interested in seeing some of the accessories and mods others have done.

I went out to start cleaning up the RX-8 this morning for the noon meet and discovered some a**hole did a hit 'n' run on me last night!! Waiting for the police now to get a report. Just as the office pulled up he got diverted to a priority call. So not sure when I will get to Fuddruckers. Still have to clean the car as best I can after the police look at it.
