Currently in Jacksonville for easter break and I went to an RX7 meet last night with a buddy of mine that owns an FC. It was a nice little meet. Had 3 FCs, a nice FB, and my RX8. Two other guys showed up that are currently working on their 7s. It was real cool and I had a great time. Talked a lot about the differences between the 7s and my 8. They all want to meet up again maybe during the summer. Once of the guys there, Macho, is supposedly really well known on the RX7 forums. From what everyone said at the meet, he is an awesome builder and has supplied Jacksonville with some well built rotaries. We had a new civic si try and do a little pull in the parking we were in. He locked up his brakes and almost curbed his car. Was funny, but ridiculous. Anyway, it was sick and I'm hoping next time we can get some more 8s there. I felt so out of place...

Sounds good to me. True with that weather, 8% chance of rain turns into T-storms...

It was just royalfitz, Fernando, and I. It was cool though. Always fun to talk to other owners. We met up for a bit then went to hooters for some grub. I am thinking we should meet up again in 2 weekends before Fernando leaves.

Yeah I am not too sure either. I have heard old maple hill rd in Burgaw is a nice backroad. Its about 40 minutes away though. I looked it up on google earth and it looks promising.
