Hey SB 8 owners! I always post my sightings in the SoCal "I Saw You Today" thread, but I think that thread is overwhelmed by LA county posts, so I want to start one just for Santa Barbara and around.

Saw THREE 8s this week in central coast area! I saw a white 8 yesterday (Friday) around 5:10pm going south on 101. Your sunroof was open and I waved like a nut

Then I saw a VR around 8pm getting on 101S at Garden. I tried to catch up to say hi but you sped up like mad....

Lastly, I saw a yellow 8 on 101S while driving on 101N this morning around 8:30. I think it was past the tunnel before CA1 (was going to Lompoc).....It went by so fast I didn't get a chance to wave....

Anyone?

Saw a white 8 today on the intersection of Hollister and Storke...I was the one in the VR! I know you saw me!! I gave you the peace sign and semi-waved both times we met eyes, and you signaled back (at least I think you did)!! THANKS!

DriftDreamzSS

It could have been, remembered seeing it around hollister for sure, also saw a girl driving a black one with aftermarket wheels around hollister in goleta a few times.

Would you guys be down for a little meet in S.B. sometime next year? Maybe take on some local twisties, I'd be willing to drive down but it would have to be worth it

DriftDreamzSS

I would be down, hopefully bringing an FD would be ok, I dont have an rx8.

yeah it's about an hour and a half drive to S.B. + twisties = whole day trip for me...

Some one throw out a date and we can work from there

Saw a white RX8 in downtown Santa Barbara (spotted on mission and chapala I think).
I was in the VR behind you....We drove on 101N together for about 10 minutes, then I had to exit, but you gave me a sign! And I signed back except I don't know if you saw!!

Anyone here? Just wanted to say hey!

Franky A
