Rob I passed you pulling in to CFA as I was leaving (not in my FD, in a co-workers car, headed back to work). Your car looks awesome! Maybe next time I'll get to see it up close

Thanks bud! I'm working through some electrical issues so I'll probably hang low this week, but perhaps I will see you at the Maryland BBQ?

I've been slow on this meet this year - been working out issues on the FB and FC. I only live 4 miles away but have been gone each weekend...

Looks like this upcoming Friday might bring rain, but if not - I'll stop out there in the 8. I will probably have an FB buddy w/ me as well.. so thats at least two more RXs...

I hope to make it this week, but I fear the 7 will not be ready.

Oh and Nuvo, how come you never take pics when my car is around? I'm sure it won't overshadow yours.

Not sure if any of you would make the drive but I managed to get my boss's to allow mazda japans top rotor builders to show up to the friday meet here in richmond. I work at the new reman plant for mazda in Colonial heights and we are coming up to the meet, we might have a 09 rx8 with us but either way if any of you want to come down and get a photo or shake hands with a couple of the guys who built the motors in hiroshima your welcome.
here is the info...

Nice pictures indeed. Thanks for sharing, and for the kind words. I was impressed with the high quality FD turn-out and had a good time talking cars with the guys that showed up.

Good news- bad news week for me. My wheels finally have been shipped and I should have them early next week.

The bad news.... I bent my clutch fork on Sunday and I need to haul the FD to PBC in Chantilly. Does anyone here have access to a trailer ? I live in Ashburn about 1.5 miles off the Toll road exit. The ride is just about 10 miles to PBC. I have access to a truck to pull it , just no trailer and I cant have it towed.

I used to live over in Brambleton and could have help ya out! I dont have access to a trailer anymore though. Just grab a trailer from Uhaul off 50... it'd be cheap enough..

I'll ask a friend of mine to see if he can set something up. I can't promise anything though.

I never knew you lived in Ashburn. Small world.

Glad you got it covered, as my friend can't get the trailer on short notice.

Hope all works out.

Nick, I can't match that deal. Take it but hold him to it. He made that offer on a public website....

Mike, has the dog bitten you again?

^ Damn, Gentleman's agreement!

No more bites to date, but he is getting older, and you for one know how people get when they grow in age.
