Hi Scott...yeah that's me!. I bailed out earlier than everyone else. I was the one making that right turn when everyone went straight. Sorry didn't get to meet you this time. It was very nice to meet everyone today, and good to see you again Fanman. Dan, you've got to get that bottle filled up again so we can see you squeez next time! :D :D

Wow guys, looks like had a BLAST!

I can't wait to get my RX and join you guys out there. I live in OC but I'd have no problem driving out to do something like this.

Keep this meet going, I'm sure it's only going to continue to grow.

Kwescott, Amazing pics ! Really a pro job (done by you and yours, of course )

I had a blast and its great to see we have the pics and video to prove it!!

I am sure we will come to some kind of conclusion about the next meet date soon...

Fanman

Did any of you check your temperature gauges yesterday. When I was driving back after the drive, my thermometer said it was 105 degrees in the valley !

scremn8

when i was stuck in traffic on the 405 i noticed 100. but thats as high as it got on my side...

j67345

Yep, we got to 103 degrees.....driving at a nice 5mph pace on the 405. What a change of speed!!

AdictiveRx

I waited around the area in 85 deg. Then went back to the valley after the sun went down

kwescott

I had several chances to check the temp gauge on my way back...given that there were cones in the fast lane, and an upside down Neon on my way back....our air conditioners don't work too well when your going 5 mph and its over 90 outside. My temp gauge was 100 at a couple points, but never got over....

Thanks for all the feedback on the pics. It took a long time to get them up, as my internet speed was slow, and there was something wrong with the RX8 site. Its nice to know that they are appreciated and that maybe a couple were good enough to be new "wallpaper" on your work computers..... I know I love posting my newest pics there...its nice to leave it on and see people's reactions as they pass....

If anyone is interested in a 4x6 or 5x7, or the whole catelog on a cd, let me know. I will be erasing them all within a week, to make room for the next event. I am going to make some pics for myself, and I can always let you know the costs (4x6's usually are 29 cents at Savons) and keep them for you and bring them to the next meet....The quality is soooooo much better when they are printed out...the 100K does not give them justice...

I'm glad you guys had a blast. I should have taken a picture of you guys as I was just getting into town when you were finishing up and just coming back through the canyon. I was the white 8 heading toward Malibu. Wish I could have gotten into town earlier. I did make it in 4 hours from Vegas though so at least I was driving as hard as you guys were all day. I'll see you at the next one!!!

kwescott

Yup, I saw you. I remember thinking...if that guy is not on RX8Club...he's gonna be tripping by seeing so many 8s at one time...he's gonna know he missed out on something. I'm glad to know, now, that at least you know where to find out about what you missed. Maybe next time...

x-ped

lol, I was thinking the same. When I saw your white rx-8, i was thinking his prob wondering why the hell is there a pack of 8's coming towards me. Its cool that your on the forum, join us next time. Hope this meet keeps on getting bigger.

I wanted to make it to this but couldn't. If you go out on the 19th tho I'll definately be there. The 26th tho I'm in MA for a wedding so hopefully you'll not choose that day! Looks like you guys had a blast, I went to the San Bernadino meet that was a lot of fun too but this is a lot less of a drive for me since I'm in Santa Monica. Hopefully see you guys at the next meet.

Great ! Good to see that we are gaining popularity. I think we should start discussing the next meet date!

Any suggestions? Unfortunately we wont be able to accomodate everyone, but we will try our best!

Anything after June 15th is cool with me, gonna be busy with senior graduation and finals.

rx8squared

kwescott mentioned the 19th. anything except for the last weekend in june and i'll be there.

AdictiveRx

I think a Saturday would be better. Sunday is too busy. How does Saturday the 18th sound?

twisty7867

I would love to get in on the next meet, any weekend day is good for me prior to the 25-26th of June.

ZGlide

My record from Passadena to Vegas was 2hours and 38 minutes

rx8squared

Saturday the 18th would be good for me.

kwescott

I wont be able to make it on the 18th, and I'll be gone for the month of July...so maybe catch up with you guys in August. For those of you that have expressed interest in pics...you'll either have to wait a really long time, or we'll have to use the snail mail...Have fun in June and July.

x-ped

The 18th sounds good. That sucks that you can't come, august is a long way too, going on vacation?

x-ped

Hey dan wouldn't saturday be more crowded? The first meet was on a sunday and there was hardly any cars on the road...

AdictiveRx

The sunday we went was a crappy weather day before summer started. Now more people are out on sundays with families etc. going to the beach

I think we are set for Saturday the 18th

x-ped

We were talking about meeting at Albertson's last time, so are we still meeting at the mobil station or albertsons?

kwescott

I rearranged some things for the weekend of the 18th and will be able to go. Erica (camera woman & co-pilot) will not be able to go though...so no action shots for this one.

We made two copies of the pics, for those who asked for last meet's photos on CD. A buck should cover it. The CD's were about 59 cents a piece. I'll bring them on the 18th and just hand them to you.

Addicitve...any opinions on the Black elephant pooper scooper coming on this one...or should I just designate him as my co-pilot?
