"two different meetings"?

Is there an RX event going on tomorrow that we didn't see?

 

i'm confused...

 

Well I hope to make it, as the newest member of the gang - the car has only been in my sweaty hands for 48 hours*, just long enough to get used to having the gearstick on the wrong side...



*RX-8 Grand Touring, 12k mileage, 19500USD, includes some nicks/dents (probably about 2k to fix if I so choose)

Congrats on the purchase! We hope to see you there.

I'm assuming that since you're still getting used to the gearstick, you're also fairly new to the US and not just the car. How long have you been in The States? and did you come from Europe or Asia?

 

I got some bad news... Mostly for me though... I gotta finish some 400 pages of reading before Thursday, so I'm going too have too cancel my attendance at this meet...

Hope everybody has fun though!

 

If you have one of these meets on a Friday I would show up.

 

yea i have a research paper due so everybody better help me with it lol WOW lots of 8 owners in houston!! i hope this turns out great!

 

Yo YO YO.......dont for get the One and ONLY (1NONLY) !!!....will be riding up there with my new rims that day (cross my fingers). White water pearl. And btw i know basically all the girls up there.

 

Not sure who moved my new thread into this thread as an additional post, but that kind of defeats it's purpose... oh well.

As it stands now:


This may be our biggest meet yet!

I'll be sure to swing by there Friday afternoon to check it out. I haven't seen Curt in a long time.

 

It's no big secret that I don't get along with Ted. I just feel that when you have the time for 24,000+ posts on a forum, at least one of them should not be a negative comment and from time to time there should be some good advice mixed in there somewhere. I haven't seen it yet and this quote is proof. He once argued with me that something that was actually running and working on my own car couldn't be done and accused me of lying since I didn't want to go out to dyno it to appease him. Whatever. Let that forum stay dumb.

My girlfriend lives in Clear Lake. She's definitely not going to drive up here only to have to leave the same evening. She works in Galveston so that just isn't an option. I'm going into town to meet up with her tonight. She's been to a couple of the regular meets before.

 

awwww.. always next time! definitely check it out! he said i should expect to drive it out by saturday noon

 

Came over from the UK less than a fortnight ago.

Well I have been visiting the US frequently for a few years, now here to stay for the foreseeable future. So far so good.

The standard of driving in Houston is fairly high, certainly comparable to UK which is very high (never quite understood why!)

I'm looking forward to the driving test, which I have to take sooner or later. It sounds pretty easy in comparison to ours. But then again you guys have drivers' education classes in school, which we don't - but really could use!

However you do seem to have a slightly higher proportion of impatient ***** over here, tailgating like idiots to save 0.0001% of their journey time...

But they can get away with it more here than in the UK because they are usually in some huge truck, rather than in some crappy Peugeot 205 deathtrap.

Roads are probably slightly higher standard here, although you guys really ought to embrace the roundabout at some point.


Your biggest advantage here?
I've seen few, if any, speed cameras so far - and definitely none of the ultra-killjoy "average speed cameras".

 

Well since Humberto is barreling down on our coast along with the fact that my girlfriend lives in Clear Lake, I'm not meeting up with her tonight. Her driving scares me when it's dry outside! I may stop by. Unfortunately it won't be in a rotary though.

 

wow!! from the UK! I hope you will enjoy it here! RG definitely drop by if possible!

 

around what time will everyone be over there? I might be able to manage 30 mins or so up there and call it a study break haha.

 

yall have a fun time facing Hurricane Humberto...

I suggest those with little tread too not risk the drive...

 

lol i have a research paper due tommorow lol but i'll manage

 

Take your swimsuit.

 

It's gaining in size too.. check the loop: http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/flt/t1/loop-vis.html

They are seeing 20 mph winds in the Galveston and SouthEast Houston area.
