Yeah, must have been you I was on my way back home from Clothing Sales after picking up some rank for my wife (misplaces that stuff all the time), I actually work over at Madigan. Good to see you.

BTW there's also a Red 8 that parks in the SW parking lot at Madigan, someone else here?

Last Sunday, around 11 am or so, saw a winning blue and a titanium gray heading opposite direction from me on 124th around Totem lake. I didn’t get a chance to waive.

Hi, how's it going? I'm in the Redmond area as well. I drive a titanium gray, but I don't think that was me -- probably not though. I've seen a couple titaniums around Redmond, and there's one that looks almost identical to mine (same exterior and interior). I've been looking into getting a body kit, but I've never seen any up close. I'd be interested in taking a look at your car if possible, I noticed you've modded it quite a bit.

Wow, you have Racing beat intake and ram air duct. Those are probably my next mod. I will try to make it to the next local rx8 meet next time so we can check out each other’s rides.

PS.. I have moved to Bothell-Mill Creak area. I should’ve updated my profile.

Spotted a Nordic Green in Aberdeen at Ann Marie's last Saturday morning. Looked stock with aero flares and front lip. I like that green color - looks good in the Sunlight.

So that was you huh - sorry did not have time to check it out - was in a hurry. So what parts are missing? I bet somebody here could scrounge up the parts for you, but we need a list. I would start a thread in the Major HP forum with this post.

If you see it on Tuesday nights between 8 and 11, it probably belongs to Revlis... He and his wife stop there on their way home.

To grey 8 in outskirts Bothell area Sat. night. Around 11:00pm.

Whereabouts in the outskirts of Bothell were you? I was coming back from Mill Creek via Hwy 9 and Woodinville at about that time last night... I caught 405 going southbound at the interchange east of Bothell. I wasn't going my normal speed though as I was tired and had had a few drinks earlier at a BBQ - I didn't want to attract any attention .

Hi gr8lady,

Probably wasn't you. This was more southernly and west of Lake City Way.

It just felt like two happy 8 owners playing with there toys together.

But do you drive hwy 9 regularly? I drive it everyday to and from work in Snohomish, and have noticed a grey 8 a couple of times.

I always get pissed that someone else has such a cool car on "my" road.

LOL

Yup, wasn't me by Bothell - I was too far east. I'm on hwy 9 a few times a month or so. My sister lives up that way so you might have seen me. Usually on the weekend though. I've got a GT with a spoiler.

Hey, if ya wanna play with some other 8's for a day, meet us at Lake Sammamish State Park at 10:30am on Sunday the 27th. We're heading over to a park in Carnation to BBQ, then taking a twisty route being planned by kristopher_d. See this thread for details: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...3&page=2&pp=15

We've done 3 runs since April and each one has been a total blast - high speed twisties galore... you may have seen some of the pics taken by dmp and others. This will be our first "inland" run - the others all involved being close to water, the last 2 we took the ferry back home. A few people have brought their families along too.

I don't have the grey 8 you mentioned, but I live just off of 9 and am on it quite a bit. I've seen another red one a few times. Probably you?

Like the Good Lady Said Prolly me.

I see a black RX around 8AM around 99 and 188th on occasion. Tinted windows.

Dirty, rusty rotors, tinted windows, tires still steamy? That would be me.

Oh yes, do come out and play. We try to do something every month. One of these months we have to make a run with a tunnel on it. I don't know if anyone else has experienced it, but the sound of 30 rotaries at WOT in a tunnel is definately awesome. 'Course, we need another 20 or so cars, but even 5-10 is awesome fun.

Spotted two 8's in the Fry's parking lot. One blue, one brand new black w/ sticker still on it. Both GT-looking. We all parked in the same row, saw no owners. 2pm 8/28. Fess up.

the Black RX with the tinted windows would probably be me. im in the area quite often around that time.

i have seen several as of late. i had almost bought that black shinka around, but i got a sweet *** deal on the one i have that i just couldent pass up. and for just a different intiror package it wasent worth it.

Probably Me. It is not a Replica front bumper though, It is the japanese version without the front license plate holder/bumper cover.

the exhaust is a Racing beat system
