There is a gray Titanium in Mississauga that I've seen a few times. Saw him again this morning driving down Unity Drive with one of his headlights burnt, I think. If he's reading this thread he should also come out!

CrackerJax

titanium with a burnt out lite??? dude's gotta fix that shiiet, we gotta represent, otherwise, leave your beater at home please

someone near my street picked up a new black rx8, wonder if he comes to this site. it's usually parked right at the end of the drive way, i see it every morning when i leave for work.

OK I recently meet a couple of Rx8 when I was @ Shell car wash, I will bring them to D & B too. 1 Blue and 2 reds. Total of 4 including me. See ya this Saturday but I have to warn u guys there is chance of raining on Saturday.

mzpeed

This is great... Total of 9 rx8 owners coming out... this is going to be good..

Yes I heard the it might rain, but more in the morning and it should be nice and shiny in the afternoon..; so hopefully by 3:00 it clears up..


so which parking lot should be meet at D&B.. any suggestions so we don't have to look around in the parking lot.

Pete

sorry guys . Can’t make it . Got previous engagements that are going to keep me up north.

Kart Racer

i think there is a bally's fitness centre lot, right beside D & B, its usually empty

mzpeed

OK. so it's set...

Tomorrow Sat 02, @ 3:00pm @ D&B at the Bally's Fitness center parking lot.

Hope to see you all there...

thanks for the people coming out with the quick reply..


looking forward.

Shamblerock

Pete, it must be a girl that keeping you up north because nothing could be more important than meeting with your RX-8 buddies!

If the book launch in Oshawa finishes around 3:00, I'll try to scoot away shortly after and make it before 4:00..don't everybody leave right at 4:00, okay?

Kart Racer

so 3pm it is, but if it rains, im gonna be pretty moody!!! bahahaha

mzpeed

For sure some people will not be on time therefore we should still be there at 4:00pm

so apaul, if you can make it that would be great.

Yes I hope it doesn't rain too... I've checked the weathernetwork and it will rain in the morning and will be nice and sunny in the afternoon.. so it should be ok..

yes 3:00 it is..

apaul

"So apaul, if you can make it that would be great."

Will try my best mz Thanks.

[Pete.. you must be into some serious s...t. Good for you! you'll be missed! . I will carry the Yellow banner for the two of us]

R888

Heres the day, lets hang out more often since there are so many nice ppl there.

mzpeed

Great pictures... I will post my pics soon...

We had a very fun afternoon, met some very nice people...

For sure we will come out again soon.

Don't worry, I will organize the next meet.

Uhmm I don't think there is a TO RX8 Club. Maybe we can start one up now.

I will see what I can do, maybe build a web page etc.

Any suggestions.

let me know

Shamblerock

It was great meeting you guys and gal.

Mspeed, thanks for coordinating the meet. It was really enjoyable and the people that showed up were really great. I think its a great idea to have a TO chapter of the RX-8 owners/club. Who, knows with any luck we might even be able to get Mazda's attention if we grew it large enough. Maybe they may even throw us some goodies (mods, rims, turbos, mazdaspeed kits, etc ) for free or seek our expert and high refined opinions when the develop the rx-8 SSTT ("Super Sport Twin Turbo") or the RX-9!!!

R888, nice pics, I'll post mine soon as well.

Rotoweee (I think you had the titanium 8) , sorry about the 170 KM/H flyby going south on the 400 but I was running real late.

Kartracer, hope you made it safely to London. You still have to show me how to effectively do the break & gas downshifting thing!

MrJynx

I would have been there but we had some problems at work so i couldn't come wow it looks like a lot of people showed up! post more pics, see you guys next time..

I was on my way but then got a call for an urgent matter at work, sorry guys. Looks like it was a great turn out!

On another note, around 5:30pm yesterday I was going down the 427 and saw a Titanium 8 merge in from the 407 ahead. I sped up to catch up and followed for a bit then moved over next to it and signaled the driver with a "What's up" type salute, he just turned away and ignored it. I thought maybe it was one of the guys that had left the meet but was very disapointed with the reaction, or no reaction in this case. Maybe with the tinted windows on my car he couldn't see inside but it was pretty sunny at the time.

Anyways I look forward to the next one, hope its soon!

It was GREAT seeing old friends [Mr. and Mrs.Rotorwheee ] and meeting so many new[to me ] RX-8 drivers/ enthusiasts. Glad I was able to add a touch of Yellow to the incredible spectrum shown in these pics. Spectacular! Thx, R888!

For some inexplicable reason, my Fuji A 310 refused to cooperate. As soon as I could find a spot to park when I got back into the city, I sat fiddling with it and got a swell pic of the 8's steering wheel.. . Oh, well at least I know that it was my fault and the camera's not kaput. ..operator error \

I'm all for a Toronto Chapter, Shamblerock..following your line of thought, membership in the Trillium Miata Club got me a 10% discount on parts and service, a newsletter and monthly meetings at locations around the GTA.

And just imagine if a bunch of us showed the flag at Tail of the Dragon [is it really 11 h to NC?]

Thanks again mzpeed and everyone for being there.. Looking forward to our next encounter.

Shamblerock

Here are some more pics. (Had to stick one in with the Canadian Flag in the background)

RotorWheeee

It was nice to get togehter with everyone (glad the weather cooperated). I'd post the pictures I took but they would just be duplicates of what have already been posted.

A T.O. chapter of the RX club would be great.

A special thumbs up to Mzpeed for putting it together

apaul

Well, I'll be! I did get some pics after all! Reduced too much; the others are much better, but ..

Kart Racer

definatly a great meet! we'll have to get together soon. I'm so happy the weather turned out nice, couldnt ask for any more!

apaul

Better size. (click to enlarge) Photoshop 2 is great ...thanks for yours, Shamblerock.

mzpeed

Great pictures... sorry I didn't have time to post my pictures yet... will post it properly later tonight.

Yes this was definately a great meet. For sure we will have more chances to come out and do this again.

Thanks everyone for coming out...

I will think about when we should meet the next time and when. I think our next meet, we should have lunch or dinner so we can sit down and have a beer etc..

As I will also see if I can look into establishing a RX8 club for TO.

Let me know if anyone will be interested in helping me out cause I know there is alot of work involve. If someout will help me out, maybe we can get this club started earlier. I know there will be more and more RX8 owners in the future so for sure if we have a club it will grow. And as Shamblerock mentioned, if we have a enough people in our club then we might be able to get some sponsors or dicounts in our future purchase of parts & accessories..

thanks again and it was nice meeting everyone.

let me know if it's a good idea to establish a TO RX8 club and if anyone wants to help me out.

Shamblerock

Mzpeed, I can produce a cool intro video (1 to 5 minutes; whatever we feel is appropriate, with our own cars and catching shots of well known T.O. spots (CN Tower, skydome, Yorkville, etc....) with some catchy music and special effects.

Don't know how I can help witrh establishinf a web site as that is unknown territory to me. If you know what you need, tell us what are the items/tasks and each person can contribute wherever they can.
