Hey all,

A few of us were talking about a tri state area meetup - I thought I'd put the plan into action and created this page

http://www.time4design.net/RX8/rx8-meetup.asp

Where could we meet?

Depends on the scale.

Starbucks
Race Track
A Park (lots of space)
and so on...

What do we do?

Brag about our 8's
Discuss our modifications/improvements/car detailing
Photograph all our Rx-8s (this would be cool)
and so on...
SO...

I have a bunch of emails of those interested, and going to start listing those folks on my site - perhaps with a small detail of our age/occupations etc.

Just an idea!! Let me know if anyone else is interested!

Wayne

 

I am interested. Lemme know. All of the above as far as events. Place, as long as it is within an hour of Philly I should be able to attend. I could bring the 7 and 8.

 

Yeah, could do. Depends when where and all that.

 

Count me in!

 

Sounds great! It will be nice to see some other 8s as there are so few around here.

 

Great idea! I'm in, name the place, date and time!

 

Great response! Well I am game for settin this up - Speed Racers meetup will be a good example - but we dont have to meet at Hooters :-) I know some great spacious places in the Langhorne/Yardley area, and a great place just off Route 1 next to a Mazda Dealership. Depends on where everyone is coming from and what we plan to do.....

Also, I guess will will get hard by snow soon with these abnormal temperatures ( 65 today) so we might have to wait perhaps till a better time.

Ideas?

 

Wayne,
I'm in. Any place any time.
John

 

Watch the weather. Give us a post with time and day about Wed.. We can respond with a go or no go.

 

Wayne, I figure the person who goes through the trouble of organizing should have the honor of deciding where to do this. Name the time and place and if I am not working I will be there. Thanks for putting this together.

 

Ok. Heres my pitch. A time, day and location should be settled on so we can have as many people as possible to attend...after that we will keep an eye on the weather forecasts, just incase the weather gets inclement.

The closest dealership to me ( and I am located in the Yardley area) is Faulkner Mazda on route 1. Right next to that is "Chicke and Petes". Perhaps that would be a good eat spot. I usually have Saturdays available, perhaps if we meet during an afternoon we can meet at a park like I suggested earlier. If more of us cant make it till evening - perhaps Chicke and Petes will host aline of RX-8s outside their establishment :-)

If you send me an email at wayne@time4design.net or via

http://www.time4design.net/RX8/contact.asp

..i'll put the contact list together, inc info we all might need on each other.

Once I get the emails together and a overall feel of our time schedules, I'll
set the time and date.

Hows this sound?

 

Wayne,
I like it. How's the response so far? All I need is a time and something to punch in the Nav. Good job!
John

 

So far the group is doing well, I have about 6 people on the list. You can find it on my site. Meanwhile I'll email you all once I have a better idea of whats going on...

..again, any other ideas are welcome..

 

I'd love to come but I won't be able to until the end of April (end of the semester). If it'll be after that, then great, but that's quite a while from now. I'm in York (south central) PA.

 

York is only 2 hours away ...j/k April would be better, so I am think that the second meet would be then...keep us in mind Horde

 

Chickie and Pete's on a Saturday works for me. That place can be a good time and there probably will be more to look at than just cars, if we stay into the evening. Of course, its fun for females as well. Sorry if I seem sexist, but I am an old married man and can't help it. Well, I am 31, but I am married.

 

Looks like I could be the old man in the group. Senseny I have you by 22 years. Not to worry, it just keeps getting better and better!!!!

 

ok i will do that. I wouldn't care about coming before then if I were at home but I go to school in Pittsburgh and i'm not driving like 5 hours across the state, sorry

 

Horde, where in Pittsburgh do you go to school. I am a graduate of the U of Pittsburgh. That 5 hour trip is nothing. J/K

 

well i am kinda inbetween - 29, not married - but sometimes I think I am...hitting the 2 year mark with the girlfriend, and well, you know the story...

so what do you think of meeting at this park I know of in Langhorne - just off Route 1, then we take south to Chicke and Petes?

If I hear an "aye" I'll sort out directions and so fourth. I think this thread by now should of earned a sticky "hint". Looking at the calendar, my next available saturday is the weekend of Jan 24th . Whats that look like for everyone else?

 

24th is cool for me. Unless something crazy pops up count me in for a meet and then Chickies

 

I'm in.

 

I'll be there Wayne.

Al

 

I'll start to put the directions together ..watch this space.

 

i may be interested... not much free time though

i'm actually going to be in Yardley the first week of Feb for a busines trip. other then that i'm up near allentown
