Lots of us! At least 5 forum members here from Calgary.
Check out the RX-8 Owners map for USA and Canada from the Gallery forum section to see who's who.
Welcome to the forum! We really do need to do a Calgary or Alberta meet, maybe in August sometime...
Regards,
Gordon

An August meet? That'd be cool. A few months ago I saw an S2000 meet take place in Crowfoot.
Too bad that occurred before I got my 8, otherwise I could have parked next to them to outshine them! ;-)

Welcome! I, too have had my Lightning Yellow GT for almost 3 months now, but sad to say, I've only driven it for like 900 km. However, even with the limited driving I've done, I truly love the way it drives.
I'd also go for an August get together...
Regards

Okay, somebody has to decide, so I'll take a stab at it.
How about Saturday, July 31, at 11:00 AM?
As for venue, I was thinking of somewhere in north Calgary, like the Crowfoot Village, or perhaps Airdrie (to make things easier for any 8 owners in Red Deer or Edmonton).
How's that sound?

. I'm away in July for 3 weeks, returning Aug 1. (But the long weekend would be a bad time to plan a meet anyway!)Regards,

Yep, that's me! And I was parked there for some time yesterday.
One time, I came out to my car and there was another Titanium 8 parked next to me. This would have been a week or so ago.
Was that you?

Ah, yes, I remember thinking that it was a cool license plate.
Well, so far, you and I are the only ones I've heard about that are okay for August 14th.
Hopefully that'll change!
I have a friend who drives another TitGrey 8, so I'll have to bug him to come out.

Other rotaries? I don't see why not. We're a friendly bunch.
A cruise is a good idea, depending on the weather. We could meet in Crowfoot, and then head to Mackay's in your neck of the woods for ice cream. How's that sound?

hehe I've lived in Cochrane for 15 yrs and been to MacKay's like 3 times.
The RX-7 gang might be doing a mountain cruise / BBQ in August. I'll post here if plans firm up. A few of the project cars are not quite ready, apparently.

Oh, about the M flash...how do you find out the build date of your car? I don't know how to decode my VIN.

My A/C's working fine, so I guess I'm not one of those people. And I have been using it a lot lately, because of this heat.
I've heard that can register at www.mymazda.com and it'll tell you all you need to know. Haven't tried it myself, though.
I took my car to North Hill Mazda (I've been dealing with them for years with my old MX-6) and asked them about it. They did all the recall work, including the M flash.

That's good to hear! I got mine at North Hill too...I guess I'll give them a call.
As far as I know, Canadians can't register at mymazda.com (even though it says ZIP/postal code, it only accepts 5 chars)...I tried and it said my VIN was invalid.
