Hey Guys,

I know there's a few of us UK owners making ourselves known on the other thread. I thought i'd start a thread to just discuss the possibility of us all having a meet somewhere down the line?

I personally would like to meet up with others, compare cars etc cos I never get the chance round my way :-(

So what do you reckon???

State your location and if you'd like to meet, suggest a venue for us all :-)

 

im from blackburn, where are you from mark? Would be good to get a few of us together and have a laugh with other true car lovers :p

I do tend to spend a lot of time down lincoln with the better half, but ill try my best to make sure she wont be there if i can prise her off my side for a day!! lol

 

I'm in the midlands well up for a meet i'm not far from santa pod raceway

 

I'm in St Helens Rob, though a meet at santa pod can only spell out good times lol :-P

 

I would be interested,although it would be quite a drive,but there is always a Hotel somewhere up North

 

well perhaps us northerners could head south a little and the southerners could head north a little? Anyone know any good inbetween spots?

BTW, just spied some prodrive stuff for sale on ebay, namely the spoiler and one door mirror...... IN GREY!!, suffice to say they are no longer for sale :-P & my PZ wheels are due in on thursday too! :-D
Just thought i'd brag a little. She's getting lowered on Eibach's and new ignition leads along with a Seafoaming on Sat.... that means no car all day saturday :-( also means i've got no money :-( and i still need that last mirror tho, but good things come to those who wait..........

 

The Peak District? Cat & Fiddle (A537), Snake Pass (A57) - Roads made for the RX-8, and just where the RX8 Owners Club UK have their annual meet

 

oh very good idea, that sound like an ideal plan,

i'd be interested for sure, lets see if we can drum up some more numbers then we can set a date,

Mark_Lyons_231- I'm in!!!

 

Fancie seeing you on here Sean

Let me know when & I will do everything possible to attend the Special Meet

 

when we got some numbers lets set a date

 

im from london n would be interested. i would drive max 200miles.

 

Okie dokie,

Seeing as we're starting to tott up some numbers, lets set a date?

I'd say in the new year would be best, to give ppl who will be traveling time to sort stuff out, £££, routes etc, say Saturday 23rd Jan, that should give ppl plenty of time to arrange stuff, probably meet around 3pm?

I reckon we should meet at the Cat & Fiddle Pub, then have a few soft drinks, maybe some food, then hit the road, the road made just for the RX8 :-) .... Snake Pass.

If the 23/1/10 is no good for ppl, let me kno and suggest an alternate date :-)

Snake Pass: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&so...ngdom&t=h&z=13

Cat & Fiddle: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&so...08647&t=h&z=12

Whos up for that then?

 

Hi Mark, GSB and Sean and Rob and Dee?
Not a bad date, Saturday usually means footy... 4th round of the FA Cup, but we'll probably have been knocked out or playing away or playing Sunday for the TV!

Snake Pass was the first journey I had in the REX... purchased in Sheffield! Great trip home.
The Annual meet was great... watch out for pesky slippy bits on the road and the cyclists.

Sounds like a good trip in the making.
Nev

 

Nev, glad you approve, especially cos u've been down ther, and as for the cyclists, i hope january is too cold for them

Hope you can make it too!

if anyone else has concerns about footie clashing with the meet let me kno and i'll see what other dates are good, lets hope we can agree and set the date in stone :-D

 

I been on those roads this year,in one of the RX8 Owners Club Members car,but I was`nt driving

I maybe available,but still not too sure if I can drive my 8 long distance ,If I can make the Meet,it will have to be in the other car ,also I would have to stop at a Hotel up that way !!
