Nick - you went to Newtons! Oh damn, sorry my friend. I owe you a beer - I was very game for going, but after the group got separated, we figured it was a no go.
Gambit...we decided to start sharing cell phone #'s. When I get aroundto it I'll add it to the site under a secure section for us. Next time at least you could call one of us...
Now, arent you all glad you bought an RX-8?

That was a great meet (and weather may I add). Had lots of fun ripping down some PA roads and following ppl around (we looked like a big rx-8 snake :D). Especially, when chris and I were coming down thru the NJTP.....nniicceee!!
Chris - the titanium that we were following, his name is Alex. Stupid holland tunnel exit, that crap wasted me like 45 mins!! At least, i slightly made it up by going on the west side hwy from 1st to 34th in 3 mins :p

:DThose two 8's you saw parked...were they silver and red. Mine was the red. I went by havanna's but it looked like it got invaded by bikers, so my gf and I went over to the triumph brewery. The silver guy pulled up as soon as I did and I asked him if he was with you guys but he wasn't.

Not a problem Wayne, the afternoon was well worth it and Isaac Newton's had a great selection so it was worth it anyway since I was already down in the area. First thing I did after getting back home today was order a set of the clear corners after seeing how much better they look in person
Definately need to remember to wear some sunscreen next time though

Who needs sunscreen when we've been all hibernating for the past 6 months in cold weather!!! j/k I love the sun, the sun is my friend.....mmmmmm, sun :D
Had to pick up my gf, her mom and grandma. So had to take a detour, was thinking of taking the Lincoln (cuz it would throw me off to around 40th something st), but saw Holland was clear until the traffic jam was right inside of the exit.
Hhhmm....mods....definately need new rims and summer tires on NOW :p, along with some Tein S springs. The M3s started to act weird on hot weather

Thanks everyone, my wife and I had a GREAT time! I'll never get over looking in my rear view mirror and seeing 13 RX-8's behind me, lol. What a sight.
My apologies for seperating the group after leaving the restaurant . Last I saw, it looked like everyone pulled out OK... then suddenly we were 6, lol... I hope everyone and apparently went down 202 made out OK?
It was cool seeing everyone's reactions, especially in New Hope. Even the kid in the blue Evo (when we were heading down to the bridge) seemed amused, lol...
I've got some video... I'll edit it into something watchable and post it somewhere.

Sorry I couldn't make it, I really didn't have the money to burn to go all of the way to Penn. Also my tires are really bald and taking a chance of blowing them or sliding off the side of the road when riding isn't what I wanted to do.
I'll be at the next meet.

Can you imagine: when I came through New Hope this morning, I saw not even one car on Main Street, and only one person walking their dog. Quite a contrast!
