Hey all, It's COLD this morning -- only 15 degrees here now. But I can see blue sky (why it's cold). Clouds are beginning to come in and it's supposed to get into the upper 20's in the afternoon. Yes, about an inch of snow is forecast and then turning to rain -- but that isn't supposed to happen till Saturday evening and then into Sunday. So, I think from noon to 4 pm we'll be OK. No doubt it will be cold, so dress in layers and bring gloves, hat, etc. Besides, seeing all these RX8's together will warm your heart! We'll have hot coffee and donuts, too.

 

It's a few minutes before people begin arriving and it's SUNNY, but cold. Donuts and hot coffee. Will try to post so photos early next week. Kors-jan

 

sorry for the late notice, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it... I have quite a few things to do around the house today.....

 

We had a great time meeting each other. Sure was COLD, but no snow or rain. Started out sunny, but then clouded over. Was good meeting "Charles R Hill" -- hope we can talk more and have another meet with him before he movies to Arizona. Maybe in early Spring after the snow melts and it warms up? Took a few photos.

 

nice. wheres charles?

 

He's on the right with the beanie to keep his head warm. Don't know who's car they are looking at. Seen one, you've seen them all. LOL

Don't they look cold?


That is Ray's car. He must have taken the stickers off from under the hood. I recognized the grounding box.

 

The guy in the beanie looking at the black RX8. I'd say something smart but he'd just get even.

 

wow, thats him. its like looking at a god, haha

 

You folks are tougher than me - I am getting cold just looking at the pictures!

 

In case your all wondering, I hit snow on the way out. It was clear until I hit Ionia, then I had snow covered roads for the rest of the way north.
Why is the right lane the fast lane in eastern Michigan?

 

Al, how did those all-seasons work out up North?? Must have been a true exercise in car control!

Thanks to Kors-Jan for setting up the meet. It was nice to meet some 8 owners. Hopefully it will be warmer next time...

 

Yeah, MI Family man -- I enjoyed meeting you. Next time it will be warmer and we'll have more time to talk. Enjoyed seeing your car.

 

They were a little twitchy on the ice packed snow. MDOT hadn't gotten out to take care of the roads yet. M66 was lightly traveled and wasn't too bad. M57 was much worse. Not as bad as I hear the Chicago area was, I hear. Coming back south, on Sunday afternoon, I had lots of rain in western Michigan.

 

maybe when its warmer, i will attend the meet

 

after the weather they called for decided to leave the baby garaged.. hopefully make the one in the spring.

 

who's car in the silver one with the tints?

 

I'm really sorry to have missed this one. I got silly drunk the night before in Detroit. (The "after company XMas party" bar hopping with coworkers.) It was good that we stayed downtown. I was pretty green the morning you guys met up.

Pics look great although everyone looks frozen! LOL. I'm sure I'll see you guys when you thaw out in the spring.
