Just saw the thread about the San Diego locals in the RX-8 Main forum.

I see we have a few members in San Diego. I'm from Chula Vista and don't mind driving somewhere in SD for a nice meet.

If this is organized, who would want to go? I was hoping we could possibly meet some time in November. Any thoughts?

 

I'd go, but i'm immobile at the moment. i should be able to walk (and drive) in about 2 months. again, if someone wants to switch their automatic 8 with my manual, let me know.

 

Ah... sucks to hear that. Hope you get better soon!

 

I'd be willing to meet up.

 

im down to meet up...cllcle I think I saw you driving one time where you on olympic parkway road a few days ago? It's not like you see a white rx8 everyday.

 

I'd be up for it sometime as well.

 

I just graduated from ucsd.. move back home to la...

i know a great great great run down there... my friends used to go on...

u guys heard of palomar mountain? little ways away... but really fun... rx8 probably shine in those tight corners...

i might wanna come down sometime to go to that though

 

cLLcLe, are you the guy that I saw while I was entering interstate 8 twice and then at the food 4 less in Mission Valley?

 

Hahaha... I havent been to San Diego for two weeks now... but will be down since I just finished school.
But I do drive on Olympic Parkway almost everyday (since I live right off it) when I am in San Diego.
If you see a white RX-8 with clear corners and GReddy SP2 exhaust, it's probably me.

Sounds like enough people are interested for a meet in San Diego!

I'm thinking any saturday before Thanksgiving (since everyone will be busy with family and stuff)
It doesn't have to be a cruise meet... it could be just a get together and eat. I'm not too familiar with any twisty roads in San Diego... anyone know any?
Oh and how far is Palomar Mountain? I love the road... but I think it's quite far.

 

I don't really know of any twisted roads here. I wouldn't mind meeting around that time. Just let me know the exact time and place and I will be there.

 

Sounds like a plan. My friend here at UCSD has an 8 also, might be able to convince him to come along as well. Just need the info.

 

Planning a cruise on Highway 94 off Otay Lakes RD. in Chula Vista.
(Scroll down for more details)

 

i'm telling you.. palo mar mountain road....

its freaking twisty.... very fun

 

Forget Palomar Mtn. Old 94 is much better and was just repaved about a month ago, plus it's right off Telegraph Canyon Rd so it's right down the street from cLLcLe's and my house! And good luck on the meet idea cLLcLe, I threw that one meet with raffle prizes, vendors, and free Starbucks and guess how many people rolled up from rx8 club? One! And that was me!

 

That's the highway right off Otay Lakes RD. right? I've been there once.
I'll have to drive on it and see how far I can go and back for proper time. Don't want to go TOO far out. ^^
Sounds really good though.

We could meet at the new Eastlake Mall right off of Olympic Parkway (on the north side, Has a huge Wal-Mart, Chick-Fil-A, Carl's Jr. etc.)
I prefer this site because it's new so not many people come here and has ample parking, unlike the other Eastlake mall right off Otay Lakes RD with the Target and Lowes that seems to always be packed.

Does anyone mind driving all the way to Chula Vista for this meet?
It takes approx 30 minutes from UCSD
Approx. 25 minutes from Convoy/Linda Vista
Approx. 35 minutes from UTC
Approx. 40 minutes from Del Mar

It should be a good meet. We could meet, cruise, then head back to the mall for a bit to eat in time for lunch!

I'm hoping we could do this on November 5th. I'll have to pamper out all the times and stuff after I go drive the highway.

I'm planning on a cruise of about an hour. Lunch would be any time between 11:00am to 1:00pm.

Who would be able to come if this was all said and done?

 

im down to meet at olympic, I actually live like 2mins away from that area your talking about cllcle. I live down the street in East Lake Vistas what about you? oh yea, does nov.11 or nov.12 sound good, I'll try to request those days off? I have to work all day on nov.5.

 

I could do the 5th or the 12th. I live in Mission Valley so it's not far at all for me.

 

I just drove the 94 myself all the way to Tecate (Mexico). It's a great drive! Lots of twisties. I'll go but I can't on the 5th. I can go the 12th.

 

Alright sounds like the 12th seems like the optimum date for some of you, so let's try shooting for that.

I still have to go out and drive out to see how far I need to go to make a good time frame. After I do that, I'll make a schedule and post it up sometime in the comming week.

Oh and for location I was thinking about the older Eastlake Plaza with the Target, Lowes, Islands, etc. etc. on the northern side of Otay Lakes. So then we can just take Otake Lakes RD. straight to Old Highway 94.

So here's what's been planned out so far:
Location: Eastlake Plaza off Otay Lakes RD. (north side)
Cruise: Otay Lakes RD. to Old Highway 94
Date: Nov 12th. 2005
Who's invited? Everyone. It'd be great if everyone could try spreading the news to fellow student, co-workers and friends. Let's try to get as many people to go as possible!

This will be a Meet, Cruise and Lunch event. Fill-up and get breakfast beforehand!

 

I may be up for the 12th as well.

 

sick im down

 

Alright. I drove the highway, but couldn't get a good run in due to lots of semi-trucks and other people, but I couldn't expect anything else because I went on Monday morning.

I've got a rough schedule planned out for the 12th of November:
9:00am - Meet @ Eastlake Plaza off Otay Lakes RD. (Gigantic parking lot in front of Target)
10:00am - Cruise to Highway 94
12:00pm~ - Lunch / Relax / Split

Sound's pretty easy ^^
Alright, try to keep your schedule open for this date! I'm sure it's gonna be lots of fun

 

who's going to the san diego so-cal rx club meet this saturday?

I wouldn't mind meeting a few SD 8 owners before our run.

 

im from paradise hills and i know the eastlake area but 12th is a bad date for me since im going to be in vegas that weekend driving my 8 there on the 11th till the 14th. so i cant make it . post if there is another meet again

 

Ahhh... I was thinkiing about going to the So-Cal RX meet, but I have other things planned for this saturday.

Francis, I'm sure there will be more meets after this one. Just stay tuned ^^

Oh! And make sure someone brings a camera.. I sold mine so I could buy my exhaust so I'm camera-less
