Rolland

I ran across these on a Mazda Victoria BC site.

Dunno when they were originally posted, or if they have been posted here before.

RX8FanMan

are you new?

Rolland

Why, what did I miss?

RX8FanMan

those are so old, you can find those on google

Rolland

"those are so old"

Okay, you can't look at them. This post is for the approx. 5500 people that have joined up after 11/1/2003 (like me) and haven't seen these pics before.

Yeah those pics are "so old" as in from 1999.

relax people

Rolland

Relax? This is coming from somone averaging almost 700 posts a month!

Dude, you need to relax those fingers!

You never heard of ergonomics?

Rolland, "so old" isn't the whole story. These are pictures of an earlier version of the 8 we now have, which was dumped because Mazda's stylists didn't like the way it looked. They fixed it with the design you and I own. This is all explained, with one of the pictures you posted, in a hardback history of the development of the RX8 that Mazda published, and sent to some of us earlier-order types.
Nothing wrong with studying historical pics, but they don't point to future 8 design.

Actually, according to his sig, he owns a Protege.

your getting upset over what i said about some pictures that you didnt even take...someone must of had a ruff childhood. plus 700 post? whoa im no where near 700 post.

argh

Dumbass, MikeB was defending you, moron.

Just shows you why the literacy rate in the US is 65%. There should be an IQ test to go along with the driving test... ack.

Rolland

Ahhh, good morning back to you gentlemen. Lets see if I can stir up the pot a bit.

RX8FanMan, buddy, you just need to go back to page 1 and start reading all over again. I realize that you only have 470 some odd posts. Did I say you had 700?

argh, you and I could go round and round on that insightful post. You called me "dumbass" and "moron" in the same sentence! Sounds like Jr. High is going well for you then.

mikeb, the amount of posts that you have in the amount of time that you have been here cracked me up, so I took a jab at it.

Now to the point of posting the original pictures. I realized that the pictures may be old. I even said that I didn't know if they had been posted here before. I just ran across them and thought I would share. Most people don't live here and if someone comes across something they haven't seen, what is the harm in them creating a post?

Peace. I'll check back tonight and see what enlightening information my new buddy 'argh' has had to say.

With as much time as MikeB spends on his computer in front of rx8club, I would imagine he has a very ergonomic setup. maybe even one of those fun gel pads to rest his wrists on.

But, no reason to jump all over people. Just mention that they are pictures of the Mazda RX-Evolv, and people should search the forum for 'evolv' for more info, then move on. You can't expect everyone here to have read all 1,000,000- posts on the board like some of the rest of us have. Jumping down their throats will only scare away people that might have future insight to contribute.

this is so pointless....

Rolland - no need to take offense. Many of the people here (myself included) have been following every step of the RX-8 since the RX-01 back in 1995 and tend to forget that not everybody is a rotorhead. If this picture is news to you then you're probably new to the RX-8 and rotaries. Regardless, welcome. Someone correct me if I'm off, but I believe the model progression is RX-01 (1995), E-Volve (1998?), RX-8 Version 1 (the picture you posted, 1999), RX-8 Version 2 (2001), RX-8 Production (2003). This link has a timeline and some nice concepts.

i'll answer your question before you even ask it:

Yes, all RX-8 owners, ARE in fact, dicks...

naw, j/k...there are some of us that do like Proteges...

j/k again!

for real though, they shouldn't have jumped on you and you probably should not have been so aggressive in your comebacks, especially against a guy that was defending you...just my opinion on the matter...

mikeb

Rolland,
why would you take a stab at the one person trying to be nice to you. If anything since I am on the forum so often I should have the least amount of patience for someone like you re posting old pics---- have fun battling everyone

Rolland

Okay, for the guys that have been here for a while, I will stop being an *** (but only for a moment), put on my honesty hat and attempt to explain myself.

For mikeb. When you posted, myself and two others had posted. When you made the post of "relax, everyone", I did not take that in the context that you were only talking about the two others. If you would have posted "leave the guy alone" or something along those lines, then I probably would have received it differently. Thats not to say that I wouldn't have taken a jab at your post count, because to me that is a frickin bunch of posts, but thats me being an *** again.

Anyhow, I come to these forums as a form of entertainment. Idiots like RX8FanMan that provide no contribution to my thread other than to tell me how old my pics are, along with the masked genius of argh, put me in a position to attempt to both entertain myself and anyone else unlucky enough to have read this far.

Maybe I should just go back to the Lounge and look at pictures of everyone's cats.

one time, i was driving, and i swear the car in front of me started talking to me

At least you're maintaining your sense of humor. THAT'S GOOD!!

As far as the photos are concerned, thanks for posting them. I hadn't seen them. Gave me a couple ideas.

Wth that said, this day is almost over and tomorrow is FRIDAY!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee HAW!!:p
