Appologies, I was going to attend.  DIY took longer than expected, and the last time I looked at the forum on Friday this was still on.  Good job I didn\'t go, would not of been impressed to find no one there.
 
These sort of meets are best set for the same weekend every month, more chance of people keeping the date free.  
 
Just a personal suggestion from orgainsing meets before for the 300ZX club.

I will hopefully be there in the RX8.
I am a new member, and been posting but failed to do the introduction.
Would be good to meet up with local members.

I really struggling to understand eneryone\'s issue here. I bought the car because it was different. The engine is unusual which makes it "exotic". As an engineer the engine has very few components, and is relative simple to rebuild, and cheap in comparison. A normal similiar horsepower / performance engine would use exactley the same oil / fuel. My Skyline / Supra / Mercedes / Boxster would cost far more to rebuild, and twice as much to insure and service. If you can\'t afford it then go back to the hot hatch and live with the compromise. I lost £10K in value in 2years on my last car, and a Bill between £1000 and £1500 to service for each year. Plus a much higher insurance. An RX8 engine is £3K new, and about £1500 to rebuild. You lot are getting this engine a bad name for no reason! I really don\'t understand the issue here.
