I was thinking I might not have been to bed yet.

 

The friday night meet so that we can get acquainted will be at In & Out burgers located at the "A" location on the map. Use the link that Easy_E1 or Anthony posted as mine did not work.

The meet should start at 7pm and let everyone get acquainted.

 

Phil, your map link isn't working.

are we leaving on the 8th hour, of the 8th day, of the 8th month
of the year 2008??

 

 

You planned it this way didn't you Jorge?

 

Haha thats kinda sick!

 

yup, my Chinese upbringing strikes again!

 

jedi i'm going to have to make 20 min detour in
victorville, to drop off my dog.
we could not find a dependable house sitter.
so we can either meet up as planned and make a small
detour, and it is a small one, or we could meet you
at main street off the 15 in victorville.
main street is the first big exit after you get over
the hump on the 15....

 

I touched down in Vegas yesterday afternoon. Looking forward to the meet. I left my 8 at home to have all of the interior ripped out to put in dynamat and have the whole stereo/nav system redone. I will post pics at some point.

I am still lookin for someone who wants to trade a ride in the passengers seat in exchange for covering some of their gas to the lake. Feel free to PM me.

 

Well, you will get a ride one way or the other. I am not sure if my 8 is up to the trip and may take another vehicle. Keep in touch

 

Where are you staying at?
Need to make sure you have a ride over to In-n-Out.
I'm heading out Thursday around 6pm w/ my wife.
She won't be going Friday night or Saturday morning (too many poker tables, too little time)
I'll have a spare seat for both.

I'll send you a PM w/ my phone #. If you need a ride, just give me some notice, especially if I need to drive down the Strip on Friday night.

 

I don't mind detours, you know that. I'm always looking for an excuse to drive my car.
Keep your fingers crossed today, Emilie still doesn't have friday off so she'll be asking her boss today.
IF she gets it off (which I think she has a good chance of) then we'll leave as scheduled.
Worst case scenario: You and Tim head out in the morning and I drive like a bat out of hell friday night and miss the meet.

 

I should be able to make the meet friday night... not sure yet about saturday.. hopefully I get fri and sat off.. it will be cool seeing a larger crew of 8's.. anthony take some good pics

 

for sure im going to take a lot of pics, could take enough to do a Vegas So/Cal meet 2009 Calendar

 

^^^ now THAT's a a bitchin' idea!!! (don't forget the Vegas guys)
We do an annual calendar here with a group of friends but we've lost quite a few RX-8's since last year so that could definitely be an option.

Is it friday yet???

 

yeah there should be more than enough for a decent calendar, ill try to get 12 quality shots

we had a vegas calendar which was cool

oh and on the friday around 7pm is perfect time for some sunset pics

 

make sure you have your camera fully charged up.. lol

 

i can see it now two winning blues on one shot.

 

Yeah Anthony... maybe we can put my Yaris rental in the mix!

 

Lol that'd be a funny picture. All the 8's and a yaris

 

OK so two cars from Phoenix don't count for much I guess. We'll just hang on the fringes of the meet so as to not interfere with your Vegas SoCal pics.

 

^Come out!

 

it's okay Easy, we got love for ya too. It's just that we don't want all the steam from underneath your hood to mess up our photo shoot.



sorry, LOW BLOW.

 

Hit a guy while he's down.
