I believe that it will be Wednesday and it is only a year away.

I have a wild dream to have some gathering done.

I think I read somewhere that Japanese will be doing something big, just as what happen on 7.7.07 (well that was a Saturday)...

Just wonder if anyone has burning desire to do something big.

 

Hey, I'm all go!

 

over a week ago should be celebrated as well, as it was 20th July 2007 (20-07-2007)

As it is on a weekday, I will have to see closer to the actual date if I can take a leave for whatever we are planning to do. Aug-Sept are the busiest months at work for me unfortunately

 

It's a Friday, and yeah, something big should be done.

How about the 2008 RX8 Nationals on 8/8/08? It was an idea I was going to float after this years event is done and dusted.

Cheers

 

As a chemist, I shall celebrate Mole Day, in commemeration of the Avagadro Constant (6.02*10^23 mol^-1). In North America, this is celebrated between 6:02am and 6:02pm on the 23rd of October, but in our calendar you can also do it on the 6th of February between 10 and 23h. I'll probably do both. Any excuse to imbibe some C2H5OH, in moderation of course.

 

labrat you are weird.

So what should we do on that Wednesday?

The national can be held there but we need to act fast to book the track.

 

Moi, wierd? Well, yes, but Mole Day really and truly is celebrated, especially among chemistry students across the USA. And why should any other date have any significance, particularly when you consider that the make up of calendars has been a pretty confused thing over the centuries.

 

I celebrate each and every day i happen to be above ground

Taka you plan way ahead , dont forget..... "Tomorrow is Promised to no one "

What is certainly in life?

Tax, Death, and your wife complaining what you just said and did.

Come on people. Flow the idea through... how big and where and what do we do?

Old idea: Track day, national, Wakefield... on a Friday.

Any new ideas?

 

We should coordinate an 8 day survivor type drive day with various events appealing to all .

I'm afraid Labrat even though a fellow chemist I still support Taka's assessment. That's wierd!!! LOL

The Nats sounds much more interesting!!

You need to get to the track more often. The tracking bug is stronger than any ionic, covalent bond or Van der Wal forces that possess you!!

Even a mole has fun at times!!! Put down your quantum theory for a while & chill out!! See you at an RX8808 function next year!

 

Thanks Taka for bring up the 8th August 2008. It's a very important date.

I guess the most important signifigance is that it's the opening date of the Beijing Olympics and while I'll no doubt be enjoying a feast of sport, Im a little saddended that Motor Sport has still not found it's place in the Olympic arena.

However, lets not forget that this date - 8808 has other interesting notes of reference:

1. 8808 - the number given to the Lenovo Think centre computer

2. 8808 - the last 4 digits of Chuck Levins, "everything in music", store phone no.

3. 8808 - the reference number (NI) with Nimbus Records for Johann Sebastian Bach

4. 8808 - the last 4 digits of the phone number for the Arbour Lake Dental Care centre, Alberta, Canada,

5. 8808 - The patent number of a machine for shapening horse shoes

6. 8808 - the street number for Walmart Supercentre at beach road, Jacksonville

7. 8808 - A Xerox copier model

8. 8808 - the last 4 digits of the reference no. for the Alexander Schmorell
" Gestapo Interrogation Transcripts" available for US$18 and highly recommended for scholars pursuing the matter of german resistance.

9. 8808 - the volume number that on line 22 of page 40, references the arrival of Nelly Kahan, a 25 year old female, to America in 1926.

10. 8ON8808 - the number of RX8's that could be gathered together on the 8th of August 2008.

 

However as a genuine fun thing...what about this....

RX8's to Mildura where we form a figure 8 on Eighth Street at 8.00am or 8.00pm....

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Gawd!

Some of you scare me at times.

I vote for next year's Nats to be held at Wakefield on that day (it may be old, but it'll be fun).

 

Well someone in NSW has to book it

 

should celebrate it at 08:08 (or to the second if you're really keen) as well LOL am/pm doesn't matter I guess

 

Absolutely not! lol

After the '06 surplus fiasco I promised myself not to put my head above the parapet again with Nats organisation.

If someone builds it, I will come...but I'm not picking up any bricks! They get thrown back at you, lol.

 

Will REACT able to help?

 

Day 1 - Drive on route to Nats

Day 2 - Settling in at Motel and getting to know the locals

Day 3 - NATS - Night life and girls
Day 4 - NATS - Night life and girls
Day 5 - NATS - Night life and girls
Day 6 - NATS - Night life and girls

Day 7 - Wind down

Day 8 - Drive home

Is this the type of 8 day event you're talking about?????

 

The sarge knows how to party
