RX-8 and FD sightings in Calgary/Winnipeg
 

I took a week off from the shop to help a buddy do a long haul out to Calgary, then to Montreal and back to Toronto.
On our way out west I saw one red RX-8 right downtown Winnipeg, then on Thursday Oct 30 as we rolled into Calgary a silver FD with red interior drove past us just off Hwy 22x around 4pm. Then right at midnight as we were cruising around downtown Calgary a CYM FD drove past us with some blue HID lights.
On our drive to Montreal, I only saw one silver RX-8 just outside of Winnipeg.

That was all the rotaries I saw in the week and a half on the road!

Anyone on the forum here know the FD's?

The silver FD could have been mine. Its garaged for the winter now.

It was in a residential area, maybe a couple streets away from 22x.

I was driving a Peterbuilt with a 53' reefer trailer, we were kinda lost lol, the sign said no trucks but there was no way I was turning around.

hey Joe , maybe you could do that again next year and haul my '79 out here ..... :)

quite a few RX8's in Winnipeg . I seem to see more beater 2nd gen 7's , even in the winter . There are few FD's including a CYM. I spot a rotary about once a month .

I still had the vert on the road that week , you shoulda let me know you were here, I could showed your buddy your handi work

I'd guess you turned early at 52nd St SE instead of Deerfoot and ended up going through Copperfield and McKenzie Towne. Sadly my 7's been off the streets for a month - weather's been nice, but need to save some $$. Last year I drove it up to the start of December. I'm in that area a frequently during the day.

Haha yeah actually thats excatly where we turned wrong. We were looking for Deerfoot. We were trying to get to the Flying J truck stop.
