If it was during lunch time at the one at beltline and the tollway, that was mine. There's three 8's that are there during lunch (well, mine is there most of the time, the other two are sporadic), mine and a white and a black.

Hey skwidd that's me. I race offroad there. I pratically live in that joint. Too bad in a few years there closing do to I-35 having three lanes added to it. So alot of buildings on that side will be gone.

It's been along time since I have been on these forums. I need to get back out to BJ's and see everyone. A few pics of what he saw.

Nex time I'm there, if your car is there, I'll try to find you.

Yes, it is a bummer they might close. I had stopped by to get a CSM720 gyro for my EVO50. My R/C car is sitting in pieces right now while I'm trying to figure out what the crunching noise is when I run it. I would have figured it out a few weeks ago if I hadn't been working on the EVO and Raptor so much.

yeah MacArthur and 161 is a hot bed of 8s. I say a Yeller, White, TG, Green plus Straight cold, and the two other guys that work on his floor. I think it is a wierd day when i do not see at least 6-8 rx8s per day.

Spotted a titanium grey or some other dark silver color today in a shopping center near 635/macarthur as it was pulling out of a parking spot. Had clear corners and some sort of aftermarket exhaust and the appearance package. Didn't wave though since I was riding in my friends silver BMW.

Spotted Jenkins-Crew! I think?

TG at the intersection of William D Tate and 114 in Grapevine at 12:35.

Had Red Decal on Side, black spoiler, and gunmetal colored rims?, and definitely some type of aftermarket exhaust. Pretty sure it was him.

spotted 4 8s today

parked next to a silver 8 by circuit city on 183. A red 8 was just a few spaces away, not a VR red, but a darker shade - had a lip and the side flares.
saw a black 8 with rear spoiler on mopac - followed me over flyover.
Saw a Ti going the other way on 183

pretty sure I spotted brillo on 183 while I was heading back to work after picking up my car from hiley mazda. We both waved too each other.

Brillo - Yours is the red one with the rx8 club sticker on the right side and the fire/police booster stickers from houston on the left correct?

saw 2 yesterday on Parmer Ln/Mopac, one even pulled into the gas station I was at but totally didn't see my car (or didn't care), he was driving a black one. I then came up on a white one exiting on to slopac and it stayed behind me a bit until I finally got impatient and proceeded to do the dart through traffic routine, never saw that one again. I tried really hard to just stay in the left lane and see if maybe it would catch up, but since I had to stay late at work and I hate being stuck behind dumbasses, I just went ahead and zoomed off. So there you have it, another Austin spotted post, and pretty much a guarantee that nobody will respond. (heh)

Spotted 'SilverBullet' yesterday, met up with him on I-20/great south west. Drives a nice silver with a MS exhaust, told him about the forum.

Spotted a grey on Matlock/I-20 today, another driver who probably doesn't know he/she has a rotary engine.

edit: bad bad typo
