Melbourne RX-8 Owners Meet
ok.....not to be shown up by the Sydney owners, who in Melbourne would be interested in having a Melbourne Owners Meet?
I was thinking St Kilda Beach?
I think September is a good idea as it gives some time for more cars to arrive. Even early October?
Who would be interested in coming?

That's when mine, and a few others here, will arrive.

i might be in if it fits into our family's schedule. weekends are so busy.
we went for a nice drive to mt macedon on the weekend and picked up a small stone chip on the nose. very small but annoying. it came off a car ahead on the freeway.
at least it is better than a knock on the door in at the shopping centre!

On the other hand, the touch up paint is very handy

Which Day
OK my plans for weekend.
Crows/collingwood Fri night
Sat night mates house warming.
Gee that leaves Sat and Sun for fun (preference for Sat as I may be a little shabby on Sun!)
Cheers
P.S. 1400 ks, 9000 rpm sure is sweet!

Hi,
I've been in the Gold Coast for the past 5 days.
Back to work now. I won't have much time for driving except to work and back. I'm also working this coming weekend. Dammit.
I only saw one RX-8 whilst in Surfers Paradise. It was a titanium one. I didn't catch the plate details though.
Have fun on your drive!

Im close but not there yet
Folks,
Mine arrives the first week of Sept. Lets try for the second week if possible. The boat left Japan on Aug 7 (takes 20 days to get here) so there should be more around that week.
Its Blue with Spoiler, Stakes, Rotary emblems and a few other bits.
Suggest we set a date soon and one later in the year.
Cheers

Melbourne meet date and time
Here is the date for the first meet.
I am new to this forum but it seems you need someone to set out a time. I will be there in a winning blue one even if no-one else turns up.
Saturday 20th of September 12.30 pm (midday) for either a chat and then maybe a drive about 2pm if you want to continue on. This time is before the footy and will allow for a few late arrivals.
We can work out any ongoing arrangements with each other from there.
There is a cafe on the banks of the Yarra opposite Herring Island. Mel ref 58 G1, on the extension Alexandra Ave. It has a heap of carparks and should be fairly central for everyone.
So how about it, anyone got a better haunt with a lot of car spots out the front. All responses for location by 5th September.
I can provide a mobile number at a later stage to centralise last minute contacts.
Post your reply or front up on the day with your new 8 or current ride.
See ya then.

OK Melb Folks,
It's time to get our act together. The Sydney people seem to have had a great day out there at windy Palm Beach. It would be great to get as many Vic 8s as we can - out on those big smooth roads and cruise.
Japfan is it still on for this Saturday? The weather is a bit **** this week and potentially into the weekend. Any chance for making it the weekend after on Sunday? Or even the Saturday or Sunday after that. It should warm up a bit by then.
Please advise. I am happy to organise if need be. Looking forward to having as many of you there as possible.
Future owners of 8s are welcome as passengers - you know who you are......
Cheers, Stoli

I'd prefer the 28th of Sept personally, however i'm not the majority.
The 2003 Jamboree Drags are on the 20-21st of sept in queensland which I will be attending and I do want to be here for the Melb cruise!
