OK so who's down for Dupont tomorrow? Post here so we can setup a roll in before hand if we have people coming, me and Chris(RWD+LSD=Zoom) are definitely going. Get there early if you want a spot it's been very crowded lately with the lots all full before 7.

Here's the Info:
duPont REGISTRY Cars and Coffee is a monthly informal gathering of Tampa Bay's classic, luxury and exotic car enthusiasts!

It's usually held the 3rd Saturday morning from 7am-9am at the duPont REGISTRY.

Location: 3051 Tech Drive, Saint Petersburg, FL

Also here's their post from facebook about tomorrows event:

"Tomorrow morning, we’re celebrating our 6th Anniversary on Father’s Day Weekend! Stop by the showroom to see a vehicle pin-striping, or head to the dR Gear Boutique to get the $15 Uberwurx Starter Kit for Dad. We’re also introducing our first photo contest – check out the “Photography Contest” tab on our page to see guidelines, deadline and prizes. See you there!"

Well, the time had come....

It seems to be that as soon as I get something the way I want it, I let it go; sometimes for the worse, and sometimes for the better..... That being said it was time to say good bye to the RX-8, I loved it and it is still the key chain on my 2003 BMW M3. The RX-8 is a great car, and it taught me a lot about driving both on and off the track. I will miss the rotary sound out of my exhaust....

I posted earlier in this thread about a Rotary Meet this Oct and im here to give an update for anyone who is interested in attending. Rotary Fest 4 will be taking place in Orlando this year on Oct 16th, and as such TBROC will no longer host the alternative event in St Pete on the 15th of OCT. All the info for the event is on 7 club. here is the link:

http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=967242

This event should be huge and have several different models of rotary powered cars. Make sure you guys remember the show is Oct 16th, 2011.
