I PERSONALY GET ATTENTION ALL THE TIME WHEN CRUSING WITH A FRIEND WHO HAS A YELLOW 8, WOW IMAGINE THE IMPACT TO SEE 10 OR MORE CRUISING TOGETHER. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS MEET LET ME KNOW SO WE CAN SET THIS UP IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

Getting 8's to roam around town would be nice. Unfortunately for me I am in the middle east. I will return last week in January.

Sounds like fun. I like the scenic tour drives the Washington Area Mazda Club does.

One of the scenic drives we did for the National Miata Event last year was a moonlight drive around the DC monuments/Capitol and out to Mount Vernon. If there is interest, we could do something like that January 2nd (FRI after 9pm) 3rd (SAT after 6pm) or 4th (SUN day or night). The first weekend in 2004 for the 2004 RX-8 Renesising in the New Year. More party goers may see us on Friday or Saturday, but it will be more difficult to keep the group together, if we have a good turnout. And it all depends on the weather, too.

Another 'visibility' option would be a convoy of RX-8's driving all the way around the Capital Beltway.

Of course, if we do either of these we really need some folks at strategic points to get great pictures!

Chieferx ,
Hi! I'm interested ....... I like TreknMazda's idea of "a convoy of RX-8's driving all the way around the Capital Beltway. " or something similar where we won't have a problem keeping together.

regards,

This is my Idea as well. What do you think about driving the beltway and the major cities such as Arlington, Alexandria, DC, Silver Spring, Rockville, imagine the public when they see us out there, A RX8 CONVOY!!!!

Hi Chieferx,

I followed the beltway part. Clarify on the major cities please. Are we going to get off the beltway and go into the cities down roads with lots of traffic lights? It might be hard to stick together if we have 10 cars.

We'd get the best effect driving in the daytime - what to y'all think?

regards,
rx8cited

RX8 Meet

Hi X-SIN-X,

It's a small world. I saw an RX8 at the Herndon Clock Tower and I looked at the license plate. X-SIN-X it said. Then I logged on yesterday and I saw your post here. Just wanted to say hello.

Hello Gandu.

I have seen a few RX8's around the area. I am currently in the Middle East and won't return until the last week in Jan 04. Can't wait to get home and drive my car. Jealous of you guys who get to drive.

Mazda Cars

I thought I was the only one with the MX3 and RX8. Congrats to you for your MX5 aswell.

It's a pleasure to drive these gorgeous cars.

What do you think of my license plate?

Hey Gandu, is your car Nordic Green? It looks good. I like the rear accent. I am probably gonna break down and get the front & rear for mine.

RX8

No it is not green. It is black. I looked at all the colors but the 8 looks best in black. Agree?

Here is another picture of my RX8 in black.

RX8

No, it's black. I looked at all the cars and found the best color suited for the RX8 to be black. Dont you agree? Here's another one. It shows the color real well.

Merry Christmas to All Here and A Happy New Year.

Well, the black is very cool. My previous car was black and I was looking for a change, so I went to the Nordic Green. I like the way the Green changes in different light. But the 8 in black is VERY fine.


Here is a picture of mine (people may notice that I've figured out how to post pics and I borrowed my son's digital camera!)

Awesome

Very nice RX8,

If you had'nt mentioned it, I'd thought that your car was black. Congrats to you. Let's hope that all us RX8 owners can schedule a drive soon. It'd be great on a perfectly sunny day.

Since tomorrow is going to be sunny I'll probably take her out for a spin.

Here's an idea. If we do do the RX8 meet, it'd be great to drive on the FFX Cty Parkway. Wow, just imagine a lot of RX8s driving in a straight line.

Absolutely not. As far as I am concerned your are welcome. But I am not speaking for the other RX Eighters.

Nice RX7 by the way.
