ok that works, I just knew that hooters was right there off the exit ramp. so Jim and nicks, is it in the mall area or to the left of the mall stuff

 

also where is there a car wash around here?

 

No idea on the car wash.

But if you go to the newly moved 1st. redlight after Mazda and take a left then the first right it is the first building on your right, you can probably see it from Mazda if you walk out front and look right.

 

Thanks, I found a car wash by the shell across the street from Mazda and I passed J&N's too. see yall there at 12. Lets get a list of who is coming

 

I'm in, probably bringing the lil' tykes.

 

Ok everyone:

Attending (I think):
-ONOFIVEO
-Wankleman(me, duh)
-Praxis1301
-Herblenny
-SPICcnmGT

---Let me know if this is wrong or I left your *** out
---Looking forward to it, im coming from the Georgia rx8 club and we stayed pretty active, hope the same is true here when I move to B'ham in a few weeks.----Clay

P.S.--Im on Myspace and Facebook too if anyone cares or has a profile there.
Seach for "Clay Elrod" pretty sure I'm the only person in the world named that.

 

I'm in! See you guys at J&N!

 

So how did lunch go? Sorry I couldn't make it! I have just been swamped lately and looks like for sometime longer. I will try to show up at the next get together if possible!

 

Just bought an '04 GT, AT, nav system, the works. This car drives incredibly smooth and quick. I've had two MX5s ('01 and '02) in the past 4 years and they were phenominal, albeit small inside. I figured the 8 would give me more room and the same (or better) tight rear wheel drive.

Not having done enough research, I freaked out a little over the "flooded engine" posts and talk about cold cranking and cold turning off and the use of oil, but I figure the car will give me what I give it.

Looking forward to a great ride all over metro Birmingham and Alabama!

 

Hey everyone!! Sorry I missed the lunch. We're going to Mexico this Sunday for a week (vacation) so its been hectic trying to buy/wrap gifts before we leave. Hope everyone is well!

Welcome StGeorge! What color is your 8?

After the holidays, we need to plan another ride/lunch!

Happy Holidays all!!!!
Lisa

 

Titanium Gray Metallic/Two-tone (black and red) leather interior. Same exterior color as my MX5 was ... still have the touch up paint from that car!

It's actually a great color on the 8...

 

I love the red/black interiors. So sporty! In regards to the engine..just be mindful and no cold turning off. The thing I've had issues with are the stupid melting sun visors. I'm on my 3rd drivers side visor. They simply cant stand up to the heat here in the summer. Oh well. I still love my baby though- even if she is awfully high maintenance.

 

It went Ok.. Met some new 8 owners from out of town and as always good to see Jamal!

We chatted and me and Chris head back to replace some bushings on our 7s.

Hmm.. I wonder if that was Ernie's old 8. I know it was loaded but don't remember if it was AT... anyhow, congrats!

 

Phil, Ernie's was manual with Blk/Chapporal (brown). Good to see everyone. Have fun L-Co. We missed you. I saw no less than 8 RX-8s yesterday between T'ville and Eastwood. I've never seen so many on the road in one day. Saw two on Crestwood, four or five on Gadsden Hwy and a couple more in Roebuck.

 

Welcome stgeorge! Hope to meet you at the next get together.

Wished I could have made the lunch sounds like fun! Hopefully nex time!

I hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

Well I'm permanently moved to B'ham now. Living in Trussville. Start work in two weeks, we should meet up again sometime after new year's.

 

Trussville is a nice place. Welcome to the area!

 

I second the welcome to Birmingham! Things have slowed down considerably for me. Definitely want to get together after the holidays.
Everyone have a safe and fun New Years!
Lisa

 

Lisa, you still have my email right? shoot me an email when everyone wants to get together. I will see if I can make it this time.

 

Ok so my 8 has been sleeping in the garage for the past few days here in Trussville, AL. We need to go on a drive or something soon before she thinks I've abandoned her. Any takers or ideas??

 

I'm down. Any ideas for a time? Were you thinking this weekend or when?

Kyle- I do still have your email!

 

yeah that will work. I live like a 1/4 mile from Trussville Mazda. Let me know

 

Anyone up for getting together this weekend (besides Wankleman?)
Anyone? Anyone? Hello?

 

I have way too much to do this weekend... three family birthdays among other things. But... I've never come to a get-together anyhow so it's not like my no-show shatters the group.

 

Morning everybody. So far, from email responses, no one can make this Saturday, but we have a couple of takers for next Saturday. I could do that too. What about everyone else? Maybe a cruise and lunch? Or just lunch would be fine too. I havent seen everyone in forever!
