Okay ladies and gents with exceptionally good taste in cars,

How about we plan an owners rendezvous for the first week of September. By then we will have completed the run-in of our cars and they will be SO much more fun to drive.

I'm open to suggestions of where to meet and what time. Maybe we can get some suggestions and then I'll set up a poll ?

I'll put my suggestion in : Picnic lunch at Palm Beach, Northern Beaches

P.D.U

 

One of my favourites spots on the goldcoast is palm beach .imagine drive of 10 rx8 on the goldcoast , less traffic better weather beaches and babes .

 

P.D.U. Sounds like a plan. I am part of the MX-5 club and it is great fun having a few cars in convoy. Count me and the girls(wife and baby Anna) in for a Sydney meet.

 

So how about you other Sydney owners ?

aus rx8 , msydd ?

Do you fancy a trip up to beautiful Palmy ? It'd be Titanium RX-8 in his Titanium, aus rx8 in a Brilliant Black, msydd in a Winning Blue, and me in a Velocity Red. How cool would it be to see these cars in convoy !!

P.D.U

 

Anywhere... any time... count me in !

 

I'll be up in the Gosford area either next weekend or the weekend after, so I could be keen if you're doing it around then.

 

If the dealer ever gives me my car, I'm in.

 

Rossy,

Has yor dealer given you a delivery date yet ?

P.D.U

 

Yep July 28th, then Aug 1st, then Aug 4th.... now either today or tommorrow for pick-up sometime next week. Boy, these guys really know how to build up the suspense.

 

I'm based near Mittagong, however if I get my car by then (it is promised for the 3rd week in August, and it's held on a Sunday then I'll have my Titanium, wife and 9 & 12 yr olds there as well.

 

No, no RX-8 owners meet allowed til September. I am picking up my car third week of August. :D

Another option, have all the meet you guys want in August, but lock your cars in your garage at the end of August for at least two weeks. Less RX8 on the road. pleaseee!!:p :p :p :p :p

 

Count me and my wife in aswell. Be nice to see other RX8s on the road. Ive had the week off and just been driving around but I'm yet to see another on the road.
A Sunday would be good as my wife works Saturdays. ( Someone has to pay for my toy:D)

 

Okay,

This is looking very promising. So far we have the following owners (including soon-to-be owners) keen to meet :

P.D.U
Titanium RX-8
aus rx8
msydd
pepe
rossy
RX844
Winning

I think we should stick to a September date to give everyone a good chance of actually taking delivery of their vehicles and to get used to driving it. Definately a Sunday as this is usually the most convenient for most people.

Pepe, as you live in Canberra, it may be a bit difficult for you unless you're up here already or specifically want to make the trip.

P.D.U

 

I agree with the September plan... suggest we try to lock in a date.

The first 2 sundays in Sept are the 7 and 14. I've got a lunch thing on the 7th so would prefer the 14th... how's everyone else fixed ?

 

14th of September is ok with me. At least we all should have time to run in the engines by then.
Ray.

 

Hi guys... so would I be invited too?? picking my car up next tuesday.. Black with Leather.:D

 

Absolutely yes you are invited richwu. There are no restrictions here other than you need to own a Mazda RX-8.

So lets lock in the 14th September then. We need to agree where and what time. Ive already made my suggestion.

P.D.U

 

Hi All,

Should have another red one on the road for the end of August, so a mid September run up to Palm Beach would be nice for me.

The Northern Beaches won't make for much of an opportunity to use the right pedal, but it'll be a good backdrop for some pictures!

So, what do we do if it rains???

 

Another Red rotary. Nice choice Kev (although I am biased to that colour of course). And you're absolutely right about Palmy making a great location for some cool photos. If it rains, well then that's what umbrellas are for, and there's a large cafe right next to the car park where we can take shelter if we need to. But everyone send out some good vibes and with luck we'll have a perfect Spring day.

BTW - when I said previously that there are no restrictions other than you need to own a Mazda RX-8, that is of course rubbish. Anyone who has an interest in the RX-8 is very welcome. The more the merrier. It'll give us owners a chance to swap driving experiences and will be a great opportunity for potential owners to check out the different colours and to chat to the owners. If you just want to check out the vehicles, well that's just fine too.

I'll put together a 1 page doc and post it so that everyone knows where to meet and what time. Perhaps after everyone has had lunch and chatted we can take off in convoy and give the cars a bit of a run. Now wouldn't that look impressive !! I could even tip off the local press too and see if we can get ourselves in the paper.

Cheers,

P.D.U

 

So close but so far ... I'm told that my Titanium Leather Pack Manual is on the sea (left last Thursday) and that 15 days on the ship, 4 days in customs, 3 days to get to the dealer/ do pre delivery and fit the mats and plates means that with no slip, I get delivery Friday 12/9 .. somehow I don't like my chances ... ...
And I know I could join in without my car but I dont think I could cope .. maybe this could be the perfect description of frustration .. keep your fingers crossed for me!! (coz mine are!!)

 

So what's the plan for Sunday (14th Sept) - are we still on?

 

I'm keen too. PDU, are we still heading to Palm Beach?

 

Guys. I am a big fan of practicality. So in order to get myself an RX-8. I am selling my 2000 model Series-8 RX-7.

Would be keen to spot a Blue with cloth as thats what I am going for.

Will come along to this "do" at Palm beach. Will bring the Cosmo though as I have to keep the RX-7 Kilometres to a Min for sale (9560km)

Just need to know the time & place at Palm Beach thanks..........

 

I too am still keen. As it is a day ending in y, my plan was to be driving the 8.

 

count me in!!
