I thought I saw a black one with a spoiler racing down Franklin Blvd. in Cambridge on the weekend. Can't be sure though too far/ too fast. I was driving a Titanium one. I am in the KW area.

Unhappy next meet

why don't we put together a meet before some of us have to give our cars back (within the next two weeks).

Weekends best for me. How about Dave & Buster's again?

Jasper is going to be in Toronto on the 8th. Is this a possible date for a get-together?

that's a WED, might be OK, but following weekend (I know it's Thanksgiving) better, perhaps FRI OCT 10

Is that the only day you are in TO?

First RX-8 sighting for me! Saw a yellow one, no tail, with dark tint on 3rd Line in Oakville, just getting on the highway. Wanted to give chase, but had a time sensitive appointment.

Drove almost 1500 km yesterday (N.S. to Ottawa), didn't see a single 8
Saw an S2000, a 911, 2 boxters, some beemers, a jag, and a bunch of mercedes, but no 8s.
Where was everybody? :D

Have you seen my post(s) earlier in the thread (and especially the link to rx7club.com) about your 8?

I've since seen it a third time, on Ottawa at River two weeks ago. I honked, but I was in a cube van so I don't think the driver (a blonde lady) realized that the beeping was for her...


North Waterloo Mazda's only RX-8 was a black GS, which they sold back in August to a 63 year old gentleman (so they said.) I don't recall (and don't have the info) if the GS has a spoiler. Maybe this was the guy... ?

Anyway, welcome to the rotary neighbourhood. :D

I finally saw an 8 driving.
Yesterday, between Quebec City and Montreal, a red one heading towards Montreal on the 20. About 11:35 am, 145 km south of Quebec City.

Anyone from here?

I just saw my first last night, about 9:15PM Oct 13. The Titanium was just passing Prescott. Followed it for a while, dreaming of when mine will come in.


Note: I LOVE the tail lights.

Mine's titanium, so Jasper's sighting wasn't me. I did see a red one a couple of times on Blvd Gouin in Ville St-Laurent & Cartierville (Montreal) - it looked great!!! I can't tell you the number of thumbs up and compliments my car has garnered. Several rolled down their window & asked how much it cost. When I told one guy I paid $200 for it and the rest ($38,000) was paid for me as a company car, he said "I want to work for that company!". Here are some of the descriptors I've heard when my RX-8 was sighted by non-RX-8 owners:

nice
cool
beautiful
wicked
Jeezuss!

And I saw another.

Lightning Yellow, Wednesday morning at 11:15am in Waterloo. Southbound on Weber going towards University.

It was a corner-of-my-eye thing, so I didn't see the driver... This is the first time I've seen a Lightning Yellow 8 around here.

Saw a silver one (first time I have seen another while driving my titanium) going north on hwy 24 in cambridge as I was coming off the 401. (Oct 26th) It looked good.
The Keiswetter dealer has a yellow one with all the upgrades as a demo but I've never seen it. They are selling a lot of them so we'll see more soon.
Amur_ no blonde ladies have ever driven my 8 so it must have been someone else.
