Hello all,

I would like to get together with a few of you and go for a drive in this nice Oregon weather some time soon. I live 30 minutes from Portland. I think it would be cool to get together, chat and drive a few of these beautiful cars down the road in succession.

Also, I saw my first 8 in Sherwood last week. Hmmmm, I wonder. Anyways, let me know.

Its GREAT to find NW Rx-8 fans out there! I want to get mine sooooo bad! I am having trouble getting a loan though since I am only 21. I have 2 jobs & no bills so I dunno what the problem is?? I was wondering if any of you have leased your Rx-8 instead of buying it. Or is leasing a bad bad idea? Anyone looking into maybe selling their Winning Blue Rx-8? I thought I wanted the titanium grey till I test drove the blue one.....oooh baby =)

I loved the blue one too. But ended up with the Red one, because I did'nt want leather. O-well, I've grown very fond of the red. CJ

Thanks.
I haven't even taken any pictures yet. I will definitly post when I have some.

I have the cloth seats, gray/black.

I was a little apprehensive about the color because of how gray and dark it is here all the time. But I think it's the best color. Titanium silver makes the 8 look more elegant and expensive.

I would like to take off all the badging but I don't want to spend the 500 dollars to have the holes filled and repainted.

Calling Ti roofracked RX-8!

OK, you know who you are, Bainbridge Island inhabitant, Titanium RX-8 with a roof rack? Stand up and be counted!

I saw your car and nearly drive off the road. Well I would have if I'd actually been driving at the time

I spam the board so much with RPNW propaganda, I created a doc. so I could copy and paste, whenever I needed to. :D (Evil laugh.)

We're meeting at Roundtable Pizza off of Barber Blvd, on the very first Wensday of the month, at 7pm. 10070 S.W. Barbur Street, Portland is the adress.

That was me! I was wondering if you were on these boards. Your red 8 was only the 3rd 8 I have seen in Oregon thus far. I am looking forward to going to that RX8 club meeting they have on the first Wed of ever month. It would be great to meet you and Cj.

Cool! My first waving drive by with another 8! And even on these boards! That blue is very nice. When I bought mine, the blue wasn't on the lot. Very nice!

How long have you been an owner? I bought mine October 29, 2003.

I was planning on attending the last rotary meeting at the pizza place up on barbur, but weather did not cooperate. I'm going to be out of town for the next one, but plan on going to the first one I can go to.

I'm sure I might see you around again. I drive thru Sherwood a couple times a week. See you out there!

I would love to get about five 8's (including mine of course) on the same road. I am game. I picture a sunny day and a few beautiful cars rolling down the road. (we should have at least one sunny day coming soon I hope!) I typically have Sundays and Mondays off. I will be out of town for most of the last week of Jan. and the first week of Feb. Going on two ski trips. Anyways, I would love to get together with all of you and take a cruise.


Lovin this car and the MPG.
