Yay I'm back on rx8club. I'm in Shanghai and for some reason the internet at my house was unable to access rx8club; the only site that I couldn't connect to. I'm now at a Costa Coffee downstairs drinking overpriced coffee, but at least I can access this site. Unfortunately the internet is dreadfully slow and I can't access my IMing options. What the ****!

 

communist censorship at it's finest maybe? LOL

good to hear you're in shang hai & doing ok...

 

Not really. I can access rx8club with everything except the desktop at home. It's really weird.

 

the RX-8 is too individualistic and capitalistic for the Chinese people!! block it!

 

Ive got a bike for sale in Southern California if anyones interested

if only i had my M license

 

Alright I need your help guys. I've been here for awhile and I haven't bought anything, it's kind of alarming. I want to get some CDs and some clothing. I'm not sure you'll be able to help with clothing, but can some of you (I'm looking at you guys Kelvin and Gerry) help me with some suggestions for fob music? Thanks.

 

hmm... kelvin might be better at that than me.... LOL. i only know jay chou, david tao, and thanks to kelvin, nan quan mamma... there is so much fob music that i can only digest so much... LOL

 

Next drive should be either 2/28 or 3/1 if the weather cooperates. I don't know anything else as it's all up in the air right now.

 

totally off-topic. hey liyan, do u vote in the san marino city elections at all? if so, steer clear of this dude getting elected. he's a chinese/ taiwanese real estate developer with what i'd consider to be very questionable ethics. many homeowners of real estate development projects he's spear-headed- including myself- have been in some way of fashion financially screwed over by him...www.richardsundds.com...

 

Fei lun hai, Lee-Hom ****....Where's Kelvin to give an endless list?

 

i'm not really a fan of lee-hom. have one of his cd's from way back when, and he way, way over-exaggerates his pronunciation when he sings. plus, his chinese accent sounds ghetto abc... lol

 

i onl know like the basic ones...jay chou, rainie yang, gary cao, and somemore i can't think of all of them thanks to kelvin and gian lol

 

that's because he is a ghetto abc. he's from new york haha. i think he graduated from harvard.

anyway. the list would be way too long if i gave all my suggestions. just sample a bunch of music online and see what you like.

 

u should get hot dog aka re gou... LOL he has a funny song called wo ai tai mei... kinda old, but pretty funny- at least the video.

 

his is funny too...

FW: Comedy - Achmed the Dead Terrorist - really funny....

p.s. liyan> dong li huo che (power station) is pretty good, and if u like rock, ling dian (zero point) is pretty good too. i have a couple cd's from both artists. but, u should listen & see if u like them or not.

 

i had the weirdest dream last night... dreamt that i bought another 8, and was all excited. but, then when i got home it changed from being a manual to an automatic! :O how's that for a nightmare on elm street?

i'm totally serious, btw...

 

so did you drift it in your dream?

 

Nope... LOL

So when Liyan gets back can we play badminton again? That was kinda fun...

 

so is there a meet tonight?

 

There was a meet last night. We took one too many rides imo. lol

 

I'm at Pudong Airport right now waiting (for the next two hours) to board a flight to Tokyo Narita where I will catch a flight back to LAX.

Two days ago I went to the SIC Karting World (Shanghai International Circuit) and while the top level kart was expensive at $40 for 8 minutes, it's absolutely the ****. It's got a 30 hp (yes more than 3 times the power of the joke of a rental kart that American liability allows us to rent) engine and while it's not as fast as a shifter kart, even being one speed there's plenty of thrust everywhere. It's like if the RX-8 had 350 hp, except you're sitting inches off the ground and everything reacts instantly.

You guys are lucky Shanghai doesn't have any mountains. ^_~

 

I think you're lucky because you would have gone up there and stayed there instead of coming back! Liyan the mountain hugger. lol

 

For the track guys who have 8's.
