i don't know how many people would go with the short notice. i think your best bet is to call or text the guys that you want to go. are you having it pot luck style also?

Well, for one... those people didn't go to Europe and get their car!

My euro plate actually came with the car.....

But I digress, when I get my CA plates, the euro plate is coming off.

i think out of all the japanese cars i've driven, the 8 comes closest to the way bmw feels. i've had the bmw a lot longer than the 8. but, when i first test drove the 8, i was surprised the response & feel was very in tune w/ the driver- much like the bmw.

oddly, most ppl i know either go from being bmw owners to 8 owners or vice versa...

the back end, 3/4 view of the rear kills it for me. Not sure why, just don't like those lines.

Other then that, bitchin' car!

it was the clutch pedal..
i had to drive it for afew days

days. i would recommend getting
getting bhr's replacement pedal.
the car really goes into gear better
with the adjustment they have on it..
