I'm not the guy at the South Trail Crossing Superstore (previous discussion on this forum has indicated he manages/works at the store)

I am however the Titanium guy in Prestwick. Where about's are you? I have not seen any other 8's in McKenzie Towne, but it's great to have another rotatary brother around :-)

Currently my 8 is stuck in the garage until I get new tires.

CowTownWoody, if it's the auto titanium with a cracked windshield it's probably that Superstore manager guy (like SirLeNerd said).

Oh SirLeNerd, I have seen another 8 in McKenzie Towne ... I never met the guy but I saw it parked a couple of times in the driveway whenever I go to visit my friend in the area.

I was wondering why I haven't seen it around in the last few days. I am west of you, across the blvd, almost beside the Deerfoot on Prestwick Mews, in the 200's.

So on Barlow Trail around Memorial heading north I saw a yellow 8 with appearance package heading north ... I was heading south. This might be the mystery yellow 8 that's I see around all the time.

AMAZING.. finally someone answered. there are so many now... I see them , post them here and ....nothing... nice to see I got someone on this site.
We have to get going on those cards to place on cars... we should also have a sign you can hold up.... Go to www.rx8club.com................... Watch a rash of car accidents happen... "sorry officer, but that other RX8 was trying to signal something.... " Hmm... maybe not.

must be the same blue that I saw heading east on glenmore a week ago. Hey, nobody has spotted us either. I gather we are the longer owners here. I see Sir LeNerd daily, drive by on my way home but don't post it... would get boring.

Saw a black 8, southbound on 33rd Street W, turning west on to 17th Ave yesterday about 4:45 or so. I was in my 8, and tried to catch up to it, but the damn Volvo in front of me couldn't understand the importance of having two 8's side by side.

I'm hoping to spot a couple of RX-8s at Race City tomorrow (Thurs, June 16) night, around 6:00 pm...

Come on, guys, check out this thread:
https://www.rx8club.com/canada-forum-35/track-night-thursday-june-16-race-city-calgary-64104/

Easy, incredible fun, very educational, safe, legal, NOT hard on the cars... what's not to like?

Regards,
Gordon
