Little Tokyo is like 10 to 15 min from me... and, the food there is great. i wouldn't mind going to a meet like this if enough of the 8 club members/ friends show up.

about 12 miles maybe? without traffic it's about 20 mins...

revised: for the way we drive, 15 min?

det: yes!
cl: yes! ~15min-20min tops
roller: yes!
wing: hmmm...i like those arcade games, but arcade infinity at life plaza are much better. but we'll see if they got some new games

-i'm getting mixed demands from both forums. i'll check to see if there may be 2 days i can play with. my initial idea after seeing the demands on both sides replies are looking like- first saturday monthly for rx8/miata, and every thursday for ??? either car club.

will double check and see what i come up with on both. but looking good so far.
and from the way it looks, this meet set-up is looking like its gonna blow up, which is good considering the turn out from the recommendation grouping of rx8's with the roadster meets.

i think a few consistent followers will set the trend for a good long lasting meet. and if we get a few good meeters ( like boa... from the walnut) to grab a few of the 8's, this will be set. just gotta work out the days in stone writting.

will follow up and try to get started by feb. thanks for following the thread, and try to grab a few others ( more 8's the better). i'd like to see a majority rx8 meet over miata's.

don't think that'll happen as they only have a parking attendant that i know of so far... and the few times i have gone there, we've hung around outside drinkin and having fun at the karaoke at that plaza.

trust me, its very low-key. we can even pound brews by the bridge( where i drank) and head in to the arcade...but i think it closes around 11pm.

i asked the parking attendent today, and he says there still is a fee for parking, but the first hour is free either way. and they stay open past 1pm for the karaoke... so no prob there, unless you be staying later than that for some reason.

^^just patronize and buy a drink or something at the karaoke shop or get a validation from the arcade...

dude, we can't all be that cheap? it doesn't cost that much to hang... and its practically just a few bucks tops to spare for one night...

it'll be a really good spot for those that haven't been there. its well worth it compared to being at some random mart parking lot with people just driving by and staring...
