I've emptied the tank on my car. However, if the weather is good and the streets are dry, I'll be there.

Might be able to drop by for a bit - with my two year old if I do tho, so it'll be a short bit if I do (mom's teaching a course tomorrow so no ducking out on dad duties for me)...

Yup, a good turn-out and on short notice yet. Conspicuous by his absence was... Gary. (car stored for winter already?)

It was good to see some of the gurus there with their respective rides and technical info, and a few new faces as well.

As for cars present, I didn't take an official count but there were three 1st gens (two GSLs plus one GSL-SE), one 3rd gen (Shauno's) and about a million 2nd gens. (actually closer to eight or ten). We even had a very nice Nissan Skyline in the mix.

So the next one should be sometime in May, with a few Sunday coffee meets (sans RX7s for most) thrown in over the winter.

Very nice turn out. Too bad i got lost on the "Cruise" :P
How does the car work angels?

My official count was 15 cars, not including the skyline or 240sx.

the car's running a little better, with the FCD disconnected i dont hit fuel cut so i basically had 2 hooked up....

but it made a quick ping and i got off the gas pretty quick.... it's still sputtering aro und 4000rpm and hesitating s lightly, not sure why but atleast we got a couple of the bugs worked out....

I was so impressed with the lot of you.

Lisa and i were wary about coming out to this type of thing, not knowing anyone, but you turned out to be some the of the best people we've met in Calgary so far.

I can't wait untill next summer when I'll have and rx of my very own to show off, and shaunO -- you were completely right, i can't stop thinking about it now

Ha ha, Crymson... That was a completely malicious move on my part. I knew you'd enjoy it. Now you have to keep your eyes peeled for one for yourself.
