Talking Finally got one!

Last Saturday I flew up to Sydney and drove back to Melbourne in my (read the finance companies) RX8! Check out the pics at:

Hope to join some future events. Shame I missed the photo shoot.

Bought 1L of top up oil today at City Mazda. $18

Vangelis,

Welcome. Next event is on Dec 11 for the Boardford Drive day.

Although I think MissyK will squeeze in a photoshot night again.

Hi Vangelis,

Welcome to da club! Nice to see one of your photos is of the car at the petrol bowser!! Fun + heavy left foot = $$ but hey I bet you bought the car for what it is and it's handling! Nice way to run the motor in!!

Hope you find this forum answers your questions and helps you meet others with the trademark Mazda grin!

Have fun and welcome once again

Here's a silly idea...

On October 13 Nova 100's Dave Hughes is giving away a pimped Holden Premier at a party at Frostbite in Chapel Street. They'll drive the car up and down Chapel Street till it runs out of fuel or something.

Maybe we could gather and do a few passes along Chapel Street that night! Then go find somewhere for some night shots - St Kilda, Station Pier...?

Would take a bit of planning, but could be fun - remind Hughesy what he's missing, since he sold his 8 a couple of years ago when he got a Holden advertising deal...

Welcome Vangelis.

Good colour choice! Love the Ettamogah Pub shot.

Didn't he own one for a while???

He's a funny bastard I reckon although I see what Kall means about his voice. It's a trademark of his style of humour but living with it would be hard work.

Taka, I've noticed your huge involvement in this forum and hope to catch up some time. Probably won't be taking the car on to the race track because I can see myself crashing. Maybe if I do a few driver training courses I might pluck up the courage to let er rip on the race track but I have been driving a sh!te box for so long that it will probably take me a while before I am driving properly again.

Cheers,

Vangelis
