hey - we're growing. MC is here now too, but he hasnt hit up this thread....
Will, you guys working on a meet date still? The gas prices keep getting higher!
WE3RX7
05-29-2008, 10:40 AM
We were going to do it this weekend coming up but now the weather doesn't seem to be favoring us.
Gas prices are HORRIBLE for me - the 8 is up to $4.22/gal now! Luckily my GF drives it to work and they pay for her gas :)
It looks like we may need to push a meetup date to later in june, possibly the 14th/15th. I'll send you a PM as soon as we get it finalized so you can let your group know about it.
TheCVMC has a meet scheduled @ Sherando Lake State Park off of the Blue Ridge Parkway July 12th, you guys wanna pencil that in?

Down here in Viginia Beach! Got a black on black 91 vert here in virginia and blue 90 gtu in tennessee
I saw a black vert in a picture down there, it was at a meet near Aweful Arthurs. License plate said WANKLED I think. That you?
JL1RX7
07-13-2008, 02:45 PM
Nope, thats Matt, but we have the same car. Usually we are parked near each at the meets. He has done a few things to his. Unlike mine which is close to bone stock.
Bone stock, I'm close to that too.

FC. I'm in the process of restoring it. I'm off the 522 and work up in gainesville during the weekdays.

Ah - I'm from Culpeper (my parents are still there). I live in Sterling now, but come to culpeper on weekends from time to time.
What kind of FC are you restoring?

I have a build up thread on here... unfortunatly I just have a link to my first portion of restoration on the other forum. I just secured a turbo for my NA though :reddevil: :D
Alright... so do any of the Culpeper people want to meet up at some point? I have family coming in this weekend but I imagine I could remove myself from them for an hour or two. So... Who's in? Don't worry about what your car looks like, I asure you mine looks worse :p
WE3RX7
07-20-2008, 04:19 PM
I was actually in Culpeper this weekend - I even drove the 8 down which is rare. I hardly drive the car ('04 w/37K miles on it).
I'd be down for meeting up - I know Chris could swing out in an FB and Jon could bring his RX8 out...
I won't be able to do it this weekend, but the weekend after next I can do it. I'm thinking the parking lot outside of target might work out nicely. That's pretty centralized I think, and there's usually not a whole lot of people there (unlike walmarts).
WE3RX7
07-26-2008, 10:26 PM
I'll get the guys together and see what they have going on in the next few weeks. I know they'll be at a wedding the second week of August.... this weekend is no good, but the next weekend should work...

Alright, we can aim for that I think--I may have to goto alexandria one of those days, but I'll figure it all out... We just might have to do this sooner rather than later since I'm heading back to Blacksburg on the 19th. Not exactly a wide window of opprotunity.
WE3RX7
08-02-2008, 10:32 PM
Yea - everyone will be at a wedding on the 9th and the following weekend might be the only chance... we'll see how it all goes...
sounds like a plan! I just did a remote mount so I'm actually making progress, I'd love to get some ideas from other locals cars.
Do we have any details on this meet? I'll need to know before friday.
WE3RX7
08-14-2008, 08:41 PM
Ah - Sorry...
I'll actually be down this Saturday night and staying with my buddy Jon. We can slide out there at Target, but it'd be kind of later - say around 9:30 to 10. Would that work?

That just might... That just might indeed. (I have a date on friday/saturday afternoon so I should be able to make it back in time for that...:D)
Also, there's a guy at the advanced store that apparently has a 94 FD. Swapped in a RB20DET, which is respectable.
WE3RX7
08-15-2008, 11:20 AM
Not to sound, well, like a dick - its never respectable IMHO to swap a piston motor into any RX model vehicle. Of course, he is more than welcome to join us - but I'm a purist, lol.

haha, I am too, but at least he chose a bulletproof engine to put in it.
I'll let the others know, lets just say 10pm in case people are running late.Sounds good. I'll aim for 10pm. I'll be coming from Alexandria at around 730-8pm which should put me in culpeper sometime between 930-10pm.

Its a good time financially, bad time work wise! Do I need to register if I just come down for the weekend?
Since it is an "open to the public" place you surely can come and ride around for the weekend. The things you'll miss out on are all of the festivities going on ... game events, dinners, raffle prizes, t-shirts, discounts.... It'll be a lot like DGRR (only RX8's).

Saturdays at Jenros is always a good place to meet some. Or if they still allow it bass pro on your side of the river.

If you go to meetup.com and look for the hampton roads rotary car club. We meet about the third week of the month. But there you see when and where the next meet is. Also one of the walmarts and/or home depot in hampton have some guys come out and meet on saturdays. Its more other cars, but generaly a good group of car guys. I would have been out and about but the rain yesterday kept me from going.
Cool thanks for the heads up - I won't be out there until Late fall; but I am looking forward to it.

Just moved back to NOVA. 93 VR FD in Oakton. Also I work at NASA Goddard and saw another VR FD there with Volk rims and RB dual tip exhaust anyone know who that is?
We have our meet scheduled for the 20th of February. Just need a location in Richmond verified and we can start to promote a gathering. Be glad to have you drive down RXtacy, although it will be a little haul for you, not too bad. Kane will have to cruise a couple of hours too, as will I. Could be HUGE though if Tidewater, NOVA, Richmond and Central/Western VA all come out!!
Keep me in the loop, that is only like an hour+ for me.... not too bad.

For those in the Northern VA area (Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington counties) there is a meet every friday night at the chik-fil-a in Dulles, VA near lowes. Its not just rotaries, but everybody. Usually starts up in the spring when it's warmer.. runs from around 5pm until whenever... I used to go when I lived up there, but haven't been back since moving... some good people used to go there, not sure if they still attend or not.
