Warning: this thread is going to be long....

A bunch of So Cal RX-8 owners got together on Sunday in San Diego for a drive up through our local mountains. It was a great time!! We had 5 RX-8s, a 1st gen RX-7, a Miata and a Celica that cruised along for the ride.

In attendance were myself, Puppy1, elliotshev, 8_wannabe and norats (as far as the RX-8s were concerned)

Pics are below:

The happy owners....

I'm bad with names so I'll have to fill a few in later, but left to right: me (Jon), elliotshev, 8_wannabe, Puppy1, our Miata friend, norats. I'll leave it to them to post their real names if they like...

 

Me 'n' Mable... :D

 

Talk about a party pooper! :o

 

It must be official now. No other U.S. region has claimed they had an RX-8 rally before this one.

Woopie!

 

I have some video also, but I need to find hosting for it before I can post it. I'll try to get that done by the end of the day. If any of the attendees are interested, I have about 20 more pics, they were just similar to the one's I posted, but still worth of keeping for sentimental value. I also have them in much higher resolution. Thanks again to all of those that came and made the trip so much fun!

 

Beautiful cars and nice scenaries, what else can you ask for

 

Any names along with the faces?

 

Good idea, see above. :p

 

RM, you forgot to count the cop car... :p

 

it's obvious now that the appearance package makes a huge difference! looks real nice...

so what did the owner of the black X-8 have to do to get pulled over?

 

Yeah, I'm really happy with the appearance package. I started having second thoughts after I ordered it and actually called my dealer at one point to see if it could be removed, but it was too late. Boy am I glad it was. It definitely adds to the car!

Nobody actually got pulled over (thank goodness). That was norats in the black car. We were just pulling out of a parking lot and the cop cut in the middle of our pack. Slowed us waaayyyyy down for about 4 or 5 miles until we all pulled off at a gas station and the cop went by. The we were back up to speed and cuttin through the twisties! :D

 

Did anyone get a ticket from that police officer??? Don't leave me in suspense!

 

You must have posted at the same time as the post before you:

Nice cruise guys! Don't forget about the socalrxclub meet in San Marco this weekend also. here. I'm sure they won't mind a few 8's crashing the party.

 

yea, we are good buddies with dave and craig we'll be there..

 

We started setting this cruise up before I found out about the Saturday cruise and on top of that I was getting an aftermarket alarm installed that day. We'll definitely hook up with the rest of you guys next time though. Great pics. I like that ImageStation site. I signed up. Pretty sweet. Free pic and video hosting!

Damn it! I'm always out of town or busy when the big groups are getting together! Well, I'll be at the SoCal RX-8 BBQ in OC for sure. Sucks I'm going to miss this one though. I had so much fun on Sunday. I can't wait to do it again, and it'll only be better with more cars...

 

I have to say rotormotor's car is nice, appearance package and the black and tan interior.. drool....
