Let's hope these discussions help show the SOFLARX club members that their involvement and support is important if they want the club to survive.

I feel lucky that the FLRX8CLUB doesn't have this problem, at least not yet. So far, someone different has stepped up to "host" each event, though the core group is still doing most of the motivation, thus easing the burdon on everyone and making this pretty easy.

And while Evil is a little exuberant in his defence of the FLRX8CLUB (noting a pattern here? this is meaningful to people), I echo his point that the trouble wasn't only your suggestion to remove the '8' from our name. That was the last straw for some people in a string of events that continues until this morning. I do thank you for the rapid decrease in jabs and I will ask Evil to join me in letting bygones be bygones for the sake of the rotary community. I am glad to see equal effort from south Florida as well.

I would really like to get you guys amped up about a driver's school, though! C'mon! Who's interested???

As far as your generous offer for the shirt, it would mean a lot to me if it were the same as the other members of your club, RX-7 focused, club logo, and all. When we do our shirts (we've just started the discussion, and one thing about a democratic club is that decisions do take longer), I will buy one for you. Perhaps it will be the start of a rotary club joint group to help coordinate and lend support to each other's activities (or at least try to make sure we don't schedule our big events so people have to chose between). As other groups form, they can join in. Sort of like honorary members of each other's club, no?

Oh, and the Grey Poupon jab? C'mon, Preacher. Based on the modifications alone, I'd bet that your group is wealthier, or has wealthier parents, than our group's members. Very few here have chosen or are able to make any serious mods and still cover the monthly payments. The upside, of course, is that service and warranties are still in effect. Give us a few years. My 3rd gen was stock until about 50,000 miles, but it got pretty strong, pretty quickly after that!

Peace.

Kandela and I were talking about that today and he said that he will announce it to everyone at our next get together happening this thursday night April 6th.

They are essentially all business owners like Kandela who has a very successful Lawn Care business or some of the other guys that are under 30 years of age that own Gas Stations. Some successful real estate agents and mortgage brokers... and so on... not little rich kids whose source of income and hobby money come from Dear old dad and mommy. The others work hard for their money and have what they have because the worked hard to get there.

I'm extending a hand (I did shake yours at Homestead by the way) to try and resolve all this craziness.

We are a group of enthusiasts who love rotary powered vehicles. Let's use that to our advantage. If you need anything from us to help you with your events, just ask and we'll see if we can get there and support you and vice versa. We have alot of stuff going on and we try to keep busy. If you've got something that you think might interest us, let me know. We can work better together than apart. RX-8s are our focus, because it's something new and we want to be on the cutting edge of it's popularity. We've done alot of tech sessions to improve our memberships knowledge on different modifications. You guys are everyone who owns a rotary. Got no issues with that. The first rotary I ever drove was a FB, that's when I got the bug. We all have the same interests, let's do this together and move forward. My screen name on the flrx8club.net site is yellow_ocho. Take care.
