This weekend Yuhki, EAST MOON and I got together to finally meet each other! So I think this should be the first meet for RX-8's organised from this forum. We hope to do more and meet other Japanese owners. It's monsoon season here so cars were covered with rain!

 

Rain or no rain, I believe that photo deserves a Pulitzer Prize for sheer fundamental beauty.

I am very very jealous...............

 

awwwe look at all those cute bunnies with their buckteeth in front :D

 

We have bugs in the middle, babs bunny at the end, too bad we don't have blue buster bunny. Sorry, I forgotten yellow EAST-MOON bunny.

 

I'm just curious. How come you guys are not in the pictures? Are you guys working for the C.I.A.? It would be nice to place a face with the comments. I'm glad someone is having fun with their cars. The anticipation is killing me.

 

A pic from the other side.

 

Man those cars look gorgeous. I can't wait to get mine

 

Hey, That's Great guys ! Glad to see you guys got together for a RX8FORUM meeting.

Too bad there's only three of you so far from Japan. I wish we have a few more RX8'ers from Japan on this forum.

Great looking cars, guys ! can't wait to get mine !!!!

 

nice rims. usually i don't like black rims on a yellow car but i'm comin around.

 

What's on the right rear door on EAST MOON's car? A sticker? Bird poop? Did someone sneeze? :p

Looks like a sticker to me.

 

Nice.

I dunno, to me, when I see black rims any place other than a track I think someone is riding on their spare.

To each his own.

Congrats to all those expecting and who have received!

 

You know, I've never really taken a look at the pics of the 8's with the plates on, but it does look like buckteeth. If this is the car I get there is NO WAY I'm gonna put a front plate on that.

 

eastmoon?

Sometime ago i mentioned that i didn't like the black rims on your yellow 8. But things have changed and I now actually like them. Your car really looks more aggressive than the others - faster!

There is a rawness about it compared to the others. I'm not sure if you understand what I'm trying to say, but I guess it is that your car looks more 'racer like' than the other two.

Hope you are well and still enjoying every second of the car!

 

Is the yellow really as pale as it looks in those shots?

 

Does the red look alright to you? Doesn't to me, must be the light. Grey still look pretty good though!

 

yeah i am wondering that too. the yellow rx-8 that was crashed seemed pale/dull too. man i hope not. im hoping its like the p5 yelow. not a pale yellow.

 

ROFL!!! Man oh Man *wiping tears away*.:D :D

 

I was hoping for a much more vivid yellow like the final concept car. But after seeing many photos of the color chips I could tell the production was too light for my tastes. Then once I found out that the 2 tone leather was not going to be available I made the switch to titanium.

 

...i've said before, and will say again, that light and the film media (probably digital in this case) has a heavy heavy impact on the colour tone, contrast, and intensity.

in this case, what were the lighting conditions?? if it was stormy, gray, and rainy, chances are the light was quite a bit bluer than would be apparent on a sunny day (meaning, less red and yellow), not to mention that this film (of digital equivalent) looks to have a pretty high ISO (or digital equivalent), which means the colours won't come out as brightly...

to really "see" what the colour looks like, you must see it in person (our eyes have this marvelous capacity to adjust to all kinds of wild conditions).

 

Thank you Professor wakeech. Will there be a test on this

 

Apparently keech saw my post just a few ahead of his, and my reply just wasn't 'wordy' enough for him... It's time for you to layoff the sugared cereal.. LOL... :p

 

Wow.. that's just beautiful, not just the picture, but the fact that three strangers came together to share the joy of owning an 8.

Congrats dudes.. Now we need pictures of you guys not just the cars! Hahaha..

 

That comment came up before; 'east moon' and the rest of the bunch keep a low profile over there. Don't worry once the cars start showing up in the states there will be quite a few ugly mugs showing off their cars... You are going to get more than your fill. Be careful what you ask for.
