Cool! I'll keep it in mind. Only Marylander I've seen so far was a Red one with all the trimmings inlcuding the spoiler, but that was down near Elkton on 95. Happy holidays!

Anyone live through the 'winking' of the Ist Gen 7 headlights? It was kind of fun for the first few months but frankly it got old after awhile... Still no excuse not to acknowledge a car that for now is somewhat of a rarity (at least in NE PA) and certainly unique. When I get mine, I will smile, nod maybe even wave but don't feel bad if I miss you... Enjoy everyone.

Congrats on the new car!!!!! I drove mine over two hundred miles on the first day that I owned it. It's the kind of car that calls to you.

The possible meet thread is right around here started by Irish. It's called "Tri-state Philly area meet" or some siuch thing. All meet stuff should be put into that thread.

I live near the KOP mall and own a silver 8. The only other 8 I have seen in my travels so far has been someone owns a blue one where I work.

Great to hear from new Philadelphia area RXer's!

Senseny is a local RX 8 owner, and I know that he has an FD as well. He's also a really nice guy.

Irish is organizing another meet, and local club for us 8er's, but I don't think that I am overstating things when I say, it would be great to have you at the next meet with or without an 8. FD's are very cool cars as well!

Thanks for posting, and check out the Tri-State club thread. (you can also click on the "Tri-state club" icon above in Irish's posts that will take you to the web page for the local chapter that he is starting. It's a great source for info of local stuff that we are doing.) I think that we are currently leaning towards a March meet, so keep your ears open for that, and nice to have you on board. (also always feel free to PM me if you want to know when things are going on.)

rx--I recognize you from the other board, nice to have you here as well. I am sure you know zerobanger, he is on both boards. I think there are a couple others on both boards.
Haze is right, I am a very nice guy, JK. Actually Haze is right about fellow FDers (rotaries in general) being invited to 8 meets and being more than welcome. Irish in an rx8(Wayne) doesn't mind (I don't think--hell, some really cool BMW guys came to the last meet) and I know I don't, but Irish is the boss so check with him. Hope to meet you in March.

Did a date get picked yet? I am in Northern NJ, but will be moving to Southern NJ in March. Either way, Yardley/Langhorne is about the same drive. As long as I am not moving, I will try to make the next meet (I missed the last one by 1 week).

Hey fellas, great to see a bump in the Philly Thread. I think fello RX-7 owners would be great addition at the next meet. Perhaps Travis you might want to mention it to the folk on the other forum. I'll admit the 'shame' - I've yet to see an actual RX-7 engine, so we should do that Guinness soon Senseny! Let smake your neighbors complain alittle more j/k ( I rem you saying something like that at the last meet)

Dag, I think we should be meeting in March, venue has not been decided on yet. Send me an email, I'll be more than happy to include you on the mailing list! Would love to see your rims you have listed!

Senseny, what about that park next to Arcadia. Think that will be a good meet spot? - its been a few years since I've been there!

I think you may be referring to Curtis Arborateum. That would be a great spot for a meet. The lower parking lot would really be cool. You can check out the 7's engine bay anytime you are in the area. Let me know and we can take it out for a spin.

Hey Travis-

Where is the Curtis Arboretum? I've never heard of it, and I would love to check it out. Is it up near Yardley or something?

Actually it is near Glenside right on route 73. Spitting distance from Arcadia (Beaver college). A couple real good spots for pics with your vehicles.

I think so Haze, it sounds decent enough, then perhaps at the next meet we could do something close to you, so each owner doesnt have to drive a heck of a distance. I'll get the directions together in the next few weeks. We could do a tour of 'Glenside Pub' - good Guinness there and I think the bar next door has a happy hour with free wings, fries etc

Hey everyone - the 8's seem to be coming out in the Philly area. In the last two days in West Chester, I saw a Tit Gray (yesterday) and a Red 8 (today). Looks like the good weather will mean more 8 spottings.
