Nice"8" P-Rock! What wheels are those?
I See O.Z is now selling the Superturisimo's now in the states thru the Tire Rack.
I haven't seen you around here! I live in the Stoneybrook section of upper Denbigh in Newport News. The only Silver 8's I have seen are on Ft. Eustis (mine was the first).
Looks like it's time for an RX-8 get together here in Hampton Roads!

Hey what's up VA. I posted in the car wash thread, but this looks a bit more active. Sorry to hear u guys got rained out. I'm stationed up in AK at the moment and about to drive out on July 6th for Langley. I'm actually passing through Edmonton and already have talked to the guys at Canzoomer. Get to check out the shop and get up with Maurice, so that should be cool. And his lovely Niece is going to be my local tour guide, lucky me. Anyway, looking forward to getting up with the other 8 owners in the area, I'll be there at the end of July, after the crosscountry trip and taking some leave (vacation). Who's a good Mazda dealership to work with there? Not sure where I'm going to live yet, so lets just base off of Langley AFB. I'm friends with the guy who sold me my car and have a really good working relationship with the service department. So I planned on checking out and meeting the Mazda people in the area 'before' my car HAS to go in the shop for whatever reason. Then on the better side, what's a good race shop, anybody good with working on the 13B? Not going to get to crazy with it yet cause of the warranty, but would like to get a good working relationship with a reputible shop down there. I read you guys talking about a club, and about sponsorship. If its not done before I get there i wouldn't mind talking to the good people at Mazda, a good race shop and throw in a good sound shop as well for some sponsorship...i got good people skillz, haha. Also, Battle of the Imports is coming there in August over in Petersburg. Once I'm there and all settled in I'll get a thread together for a Caravan, if there isn't one already. Looking forward to meeting you guys...sorry for the long post, Late --Mark

Hi Mark
I hope the 8 fares well on the trip. I drove to Fairbanks and back way back in the mid '80s. It took me 11 days! I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright from '83 - '86. Hope the seats are comfy in the long run. As for dealer ships there is Hampton Chevy-Mazda at Coliseum and Mercury. Don't go near Casey imports on Jefferson as I have had nothing but service nightmares from them which led to my last car being lemon lawed because of inept service.
To get to the store in Hampton just make a left out the Langley AFB west gate, then make a right onto Hampton Roads Center Parkway. At the next light make a left. Then take it all the way down to the flyover at Mercury Blvd and get in the inside Left turn lane there are two just get in the right hand one. When you make the turn just stay in the right lane and the next light should be the entrance to the dealership.
Welcome to the area and hope to see you soon. Have a safe trip.

ah
I hate those guys. I went to test drive an 8 when I wanted one and they wouldn't let me drive one. They didn't think I was seruios. So I went to the Va beach one and they let me test drive one and that night I got it. I took it to the otheir delearship and laught at them and told them they had lost a customer.

Which dealer was that Pat? Hampton let me test drive my future ride, no questions asked.
Now Casey on the other hand didn't seem at all interested in making a sale but then again the sales lady I dealt with was familiar with the Repurchase I just went thru.
