How did you tell that I'm a fan of TF?? ha ha .. is it that obvious. It's funny because it was my love of Transformers that actually led me to seeing the MazdaUSA site with the transforming rx8 (aka Meister). From then on, it was love!

Seeing as that all those BC guys are doing winter cruises, I think we should organize a winter Calgary RX8 lunch then cruise one of these days. Any suggestions on the destination?

.
I work by the Nortel plant on 49st, but I rarely go east or south when the roads are not good. In the summer I take 84st down to 22X though- but I haven't had my car in the summer yet.
As far as a destination...always pretty risky with the weather around here until at least March [and often into July! ] Westbound though is always nice but I don't know what is around the NW that would be a good place to munch. But if after SuperBowl Sunday- I'm interested.

IF there is a winter Calgary Rx8 lunch, I am in! as long as the road is not too bad, I think it should be ok.

hey, blueFrenzy, I am also a big fan of transformers. But I like Prime and Grimlock the most :> Do you collect transformers toy too??

BlueFrenzy

Hell yes! I've been collecting Transformers since I was a little kid in the 80's. Still do!

HardBody you do have a point there in the roads being all dangerous (not cuz of us but SUV drivers who are aiming to crash into us). Maybe we'll just do lunch or something then. Hmm ... guess I don't rule the NE now that you guys mentioned that you are around.

This is little bit off topic, but do anyone out there use microfiber towels to dry their car after a wash? if you do, where can you buy them?

and for BlueFrenzy: I am also collecting Transformers toy. and I love the new BinalTech and the master piece Prime. haha, sorry, this is so off topic!!

Someone should set up a lunch, and I hope more 8 owner can come, just think about 5 or 6 different colors rx8 park together in a parking alot. that will be so cool:>

SlowLude

I'm getting an RX-8 fairly soon, so I'd like to join as well if you don't mind!

Pixel8

I use this cloth called PVA Drying Cloth... I don't think it's microfibre but it works very well for me. I think I got it from Walmart.

A luncheon is an awesome idea! You got my vote

I saw a black 8 turning into Rocky Ridge tonight at around 5:15pm....

Ok, you obviously didn't see my other post claiming single ownership rights to Rocky Ridge. If you live here, you must move! :D

Gord96BRG

We're supposed to claim neighborhoods? Hmmm, I've got a problem. I had the first one in Silver Springs, no problem there. Then 2 months ago we moved to Edgemont, and I know BARK has a similar TiGray RX-8, but he purchased about 5 months after me - so who has seniority?

Oh hell, I'll just claim the entire NorthWest Calgary as my neighborhood - unless someone else in the NW purchased before July 22, 2003? I won't insist that you move, though - you just have to kick in monthly to the 'Buy Gord a RB exhaust' fund, then you can stay! (and it is a really good cause)

I'm at a higher elevation so I win! :D

Besides, I have the longest distance to drive to work so I claim the Northwest.
(don't argue, my family owns a concrete company...I can make a pair of shoes for you...one size fits all)

Hey did you get the SSP #61 yet?

Fritz the Cat

Then I claim the entire southwest! I haven't ever seen another 8 parked in my quadrant.

Gord96BRG

Sort of, almost... !

I had it in for my 24K km service last Thursday at Kramer, and SSP #61 was one of the things they were supposed to do. I had asked about the WDS version and she told me they had 25.11 - which sounded newer than the 25.2 needed for the latest flash version. BUT, when they phoned me back that day, they said they were told that day to NOT flash with the current WDS as it still had the faulty flash that generates false CELs. There were two other parts needed that were back-ordered, so when I go back in a week or two I should get the SSP #61 done... hopefully!

Gordon

Thanks, I think I will hold off on going to the dealer.

BARK

Sorry Gord, but some chronology might be in order here.

I concede you had the good sense to acquire your 8 earlier than I; however, I moved into Edgemont when John Laurie Blvd and Shaganappi was a three-way intersection, with a stop sign controlling the Shaganappi traffic.

I think it's possible though, that I had the first 8 in Edgemont (Dec/03).

Cheers

Today (saturday) 3:35pm I saw a V Red RX8 on Crowchild between Rocky Ridg Road ands Stoney Trail. It looked clean too.

BlueFrenzy

I just saw my first YELLOW 8. It was around noon at a stop light going west on 32nd Ave and 36th St NE (waiting for the c-train to pass). It was an Asian driver. Had a spoiler, side deflectors and I think rear deflectors.

buddman

Sorry, saw a Titanium in Bridlewood area SW....

We have a Blue in the same area... So... we are not alone in the SW quandrant.

rotten42

Bridlewood..that isn't SW...that's Lethbridge!
:D

buddman

Ah yes, but Oh.. so close to 22X, I'm out driving in the country in 1.5 minutes.

rotten42

Me too...except I'm closer to the mountains.....(Rocky Ridge)

BlueFrenzy

Saw a Silver 8 parked at the Pacific Place mall (old Franklin Mall) near the entrance. I left you a note. I'm surprised you park so close to the entrance where there's tons of in and out traffic (you were sandwiched between two SUVs when I saw you). Oh, get rid of that Sunridge Mazda sticker! Anybody here?

lamfc

Hey, BlueFrenzy.
When to Pacific Place for lunch today and saw you car, park beside your car. (red and blue look great together) want to leave you an note to say hello but not sure you like it or. I was thinking maybe next time I go for lunch there, I can take a picture with our car there and post it here, but want to ask your permission frist :>

rotten42

^ Stalker! :D

BlueFrenzy

Ha ha .. lamfc .. you are a stalker. That's cool if you leave a note. I left a note for the silver 8 guy. Go ahead and take a pic but my car's DIIRRRTY. Stupid melting snow splashed me pretty much after I washed it. It's an uphill battle. You should swing by my clinic and say hi or something.

Gord96BRG

Saw a clean TiGray coming out of Edgemont this morning. Great looking car! (No, not mine, the other TiGray that lives in Edgemont)

Hi BARK! :D How's the wagon shopping going?

Regards,
Gordon
