Greetings

Just want to say hello to the forum. I have been lurking here as a guest for a while after I bought my 8. I have learned a lot of good info here, Thanks!

I was going to buy a 71 240Z but I had forgotten how harsh the Z was when I drove one a couple of months ago. The 8 is much nicer/faster/comfortable and it holds my kids....a concession to my better half.

om-nc is the result of my 17yo son who coined the phrase Old Man-New Car. He will drive the 8 to school one day this week while I travel for business. KEEP YOUR FOOT OUT OF IT!!! I am sure he will read this.

I may try to come to Deal's gap get together. It is only about 3.5 hours away and I drove by there last week.

Stay Safe

Paul

Hope to see you at the meet, Paul. My daughter is 15 and we both enjoy the RX-8 very much. Shes always there when I wash and wax, helping in any way she can. She'll be coming with me to challenge the Dragon.

Once she learns how to use, and is comfortable with a clutch, I too will probably let her take it out from time to time. I can't imagine experiencing the thrill of driving the RX-8 and not sharing that experience with my daughter.

Hey Paul..

erm... Dad.....


And HI to everyone else as well


As for the mods, I don't want to see ANY mods with apperance (cept MS front end) because I am a big fan of the sleeper.

You can ask me what sleeper means next time we talk dad
