Wish I could join everyone; stuck in my office. And on such a nice day. What a lousy hit and run; hang in there, better days are coming.

Sorry

So sorry to see your rx8 scratched up. I hate people that hit and run. I hope you can get it fixed up real soon and out it behind you.

Someone hit my MX3 and I know who did it but I didnt see them do it. But I know exactly who did it. I even filed a police report.

It was back in September but it so difficult to forget about it.

Again, sorry for your car. Unfortunately, driving a car like the rx8 requires a lot of protection from ******** like the one who ruined your car. And I can bet he did it on purpose just because you have such a fine car.

We had ten RX-8s show up for our little meet. Every color except Blue... you know who your are! Beautiful weather and good to meet the faces and cars behind the posts. Here's a montage of today's gathering.

Here's a picture I took today. It's a little blurry. It was a lot of fun seeing all the cars today.

And don't forget the no show Titanium Gray owners!

Great to meet everyone today. We'll have to do another get together with a nice drive through the Shenandoah Valley soon. There' are some great roads to go zoom zooming through!

Thank You.

Thank You for the posts and pictures post the Feb 29th meet. Nice to see the all the rx8s parked together.

Did you all do a drive together?

What roads did you take?

What were other drivers expressions as they saw you all driving the rx8s.

Could'nt make it. Sorry but will have to meet you at the next one.

Have a nice and a safe week.

BYe,

Just a short drive from Fuddruckers to Chili's in Tyson's Corner for lunch. I could see people craning their necks to look the whole way, though!

The meet was good and the short drive that we all did was well worth it. Next meet I agree that we all meet and then go for a drive together, that will be good.

Oh, Titanium. Yep, forgot all about them...

I organized the Novemeber 1st Skyline Drive drive. We could do another one in the spring. Something like going south on Route 29 to cut over around the Big Meadow entrance to Skyline Drive and head north to Front Royal and I-66.

Trekn - can we make it that far without a fuel stop? LOL

Are you all interested in more photos from Sunday's meet? I have more of individual cars (what is the feeling on showing license plates?), but the pics need to be reduced in size, so it is non-trivial to post them.

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.
Are you guys coming in tonight for this meet?

tonight's meeting

Maximus: Can't make it to tonight's meeting but will be there in spirit! There will probably be a good turnout. I'm hoping for a scenic drive this weekend. It's supposed to rain on Saturday, but Sunday should be primo weather for showing off the 8.

Purchased my 8 on 2-28-04. Just found this thread. I would love to take a romp through Skyline with other 8s. I look forward to meeting some/all of you in the near future.

I currently live in Sterling VA, across from the Mall.

Hope I can make it to the next meet.

Just curious if anyone meets up other than once a month at Fudd's. I haven't lived here that long and I just got my 8 in December, so I am still feeling things out.
