Please everyone visit the site's news for an update on the date and FINAL details for MITM 2003.
Due to circumstances beyond my control (the contact I had at the Nordic Center was mis-informed about the date we talked about and just "forgot" to tell me they were booked on the 16th) the date has been permanently set to ***August 23rd, 2003***...my Birthday >(
Please follow the instructions I posted in the NEWS section and we will get this finalized.
Thank you so much for your patience I truly appreciate it.
PEACE |

| As I have extracted my old taillamps from the junk applique and put them on the car properly, I will also be going to the meet (minus chin spoiler, as the Endura paint is hardening on it). Will also be missing the centre brake lamp assy. but they've never bothered me about it before so should be ok. |

From the website, "News" section, most recent posting ( July 24th):
".. the latest status is still a meet at the Nordic Center just after lunch , a show and shine for a while...(yes, the parking lot is gravel, but it is definitely our only option, we will simply have to be very cautious and drive slowly...but you guys all do that anyways :P) then a mountain cruise down through Highway 40, right in the mountains. There is a stop on the 40 with a "rally road" for those participants that wish to rally, and don't care about their paint and tires...hhmm..like me! can definitely do so...let me tell you right now, it's a blast!!
The whole day should put us back at Calgary between 7PM and 9PM.
I hope that those coming from Calgary AND those staying the night in Calgary will come out for supper as a group, maybe Shanks?" |

Some of us are driving down to the meet on Saturday morning.
Driving down hwy. 2 to Olds, west to hwy. 21, then south to Cochrane.
Meeting up with some of the Calgary guys at Cochrane, at the Boston Pizza at around 10:30.
Then we will drive the rest of the way to Canmore as a convoy..

About 30 cars. MAybe 6 RX-7/RX-8's ( mine was the only 8)
We did the run down hwy. 44 past the Fortress Mountain gate, and on through the park.
It was a hoot.
I also learned some new and useful things about my 8:
1) The brakes are excellent. I did a high speed run down an empty highway in a valley, topping out around 230 or so.
Upon running up the hill on the other side of the valley I was still going 215, when I crested the top of the hill, and said "Holy SH&$, COWS!!"
Fortunately I did not hit one, and yes, my brakes work REALLY WELL!!
2) On the way back to Calgary, my gas guage decided to drop from 1/4 to empty in about 40km.
I ran the last 30 clicks at 90kmh, in 6th gear, and made it to the first gas station in Calgary. I ran those with the low fuel warning light on, and the needle pinned at the bottom.
Upon filling it up, I managed to squeeze 52 litres into the tank.
As the manual says I have a 60 litre gas tank, I now feel a bit sheepish. Apparently the RX-8 has 10 litres to go or more when it says "empty"! |
