yO, just bring the rolla.

I started my car yesterday to get her up and running early. First problem was battery was a lil low on juice, so i jumped started her and she purred like a kitten. I have to also fix my driver side door, it wont OPEN lol hahahhaha.

Then i get in teh car to give her a test drive and guess what i have NO BRAKES.

The resovoir is dry, i have to check all my brake lines, brake cylinder/resovior, and if that doesnt work then my BRAKE BOOSTER went =(.

I will work on her today, to see whats up. Fill it up with brake fluid and see if the brake booster can build up some pressure. If it does then its a leak in one of my lines which should be an easy fix.

Im going regardless of any outcomes.

Jason NYC/CT

RX8club said it was about 30 cars, that seems like a pretty decent sized event, imo...

i only saw i think like 8 or so rx8's. Im guessing there might have been another spot, i didnt see any other spots tho when i went looking for it. Overall, i think it was about a 2 dozen cars, give or take.

The total for the day was 43. We had quite few 8's roll in, but many of them left early while others came late. I felt out of place as the only FB, until Sean came with his. We even had 2 Miatas and a rotary powered ford come in late. I will try and get pics up tonite. Rohan, I did not catch your boys name who wanted the sub box. Let me know.
