3rd gen RX7 meet and ride...Need Date

**halfshaft5** · 03-18-2007, 08:44 AM

If anyone is interested, I live near Chattanooga and travel to Atlanta several times a month. Would like to get up a meet and greet and have a ride sometime. The norm is to do the dragon but its been done so many times that its getting old so if someone has something new let me know. Anyway throw dates out there and lets make it around end of April or so, or maybe even the first bit in May. Thanks and God bless

you going to be at Rotary at the Gap?

**halfshaft5** · 03-18-2007, 07:23 PM

Maybe, If I get the dates work out. I told Kevin at RR that I owuld be there so I need to make good on my promise!

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 08:50 PM

I think it should be all types of 7's besides just the third gen.

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 09:21 PM

We need to oraganize the routes of where we would go. Anybody have any idea of date and routes?

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 09:42 PM

Oh yeah, post some pictures of your 7 halfshaft.

**halfshaft5** · 03-18-2007, 10:09 PM

The is a Hwy in NC that is good, but cant remember it, I will find out and post it up, I remember is not as long as the dragon but goes up to a skiing resort of sorts and lots adn I mean lots of curves, made my wife sick when we went through there a few years ago in my truck. Pics, well I will get some in a few days, not really taken any of mine in a while but will see what I can do. Some of the pics of the MB car you can see it in the background. Someone at Wal-Mart buggy banged me the other day and put a good dent in the door......PISSED I WAS AND STILL AM....Working on security cameras there to find out who did it, I will find out and get it fixed. I am thinking of painting it a little more aggressive this time though, like the aggressive look. Its been just a high mettalic silver for a while now, well actually I used a PPG mixing fine/course mettalic paint filler as the base and cleared over it, it had a WOA factor when I first did it but thats was 7 years ago and its starting to show age so I am thinking of a nice paint sceme for it soon I hope. Anyway stay tuned and chime in if anyone has dates to propose or routes. God bless

Michael

You can see it in the background of the tranny rebuild pic....

Also put my wifes new baby hauler rebuilt MS6 in there too, looking to mod it, its relativly fast for a 4door sedan, cant wait to mod it.

The silver 7 Only been slightly modded because I usually had a modded race car to use when I wanted to get crazy so never really did anything except drive to work a few days a month adn made sunday drives with the wife. Well long story but I really bought it for her and got addicted to them and the rest is history, total from what I have now and what I have built and sold.....11 3rd gens of all arrays and forms but never a R2!!!!! Anyway God bless and everyone have a great week..
Michael

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 10:16 PM

WOW!!! Looks great!!!

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 10:17 PM

I'm really diggin' the Silver 7 you got in the background. Always wanted a Silver one.

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 10:20 PM

You gotta find out who hit your car with the cart. I can't believe they didn't have the guts to stay there and pay for that.

**halfshaft5** · 03-18-2007, 10:21 PM

Was red since birth but wife hates red so painted it silver for her. BTW other rx7's are welcome too by all means for the meet. Let just keep it up and not have 3 people show up to ride. 10 would be good though. God bless
Michael

BTW
Thanks

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 10:31 PM

Just wanna say you did a outstanding job on the paint.

**Lotte** · 03-18-2007, 10:32 PM

Maybe we should do a Mazda meet instead. So we can get more cars on the cruise.

**halfshaft5** · 03-18-2007, 10:52 PM

Thats cool, I will have my wife bring the speed6 too if we do that. Let me know. God bless
Michael

**Rican219** · 03-18-2007, 11:02 PM

I'm up for a meet.

**13Bracer** · 03-19-2007, 12:42 AM

**TIGERJC** · 03-19-2007, 03:43 AM

Probaly for me.

**Lotte** · 03-20-2007, 04:05 PM

Did you figure out a date Halfshaft5? Maybe if we set a date we can work it out.

**Rican219** · 03-20-2007, 07:57 PM

I will bring the Speed6 she hasn't been to a Mazda Meet yet

**halfshaft5** · 03-20-2007, 09:09 PM

Alright, lets shoot for May 19th, that Saturday and meet in Dalton, Ga or maybe in Chattanooga, preferrablly Chatt, we have a warehouse there that has plenty of room and might even have a dyno there at the time too. Then we will ride for a few hours and go from there. Only thing is I will need to be home that evening to prepare for Sunday School the next day so thats my suggestion. We can do a Atlanta meet this Wed. after a meeting I am attending late in the day in Marietta and maybe do dinner or just meet at a resturant after that, maybe on Barrett parkway or something. Let meknow, If no one chimes in on this coming Wed. then I will jsut drive the truck and not the 7. Thanks again and let me know. God BLess
Michael

**OneSlow5pt0** · 03-20-2007, 10:43 PM

**halfshaft5** · 03-20-2007, 11:21 PM

**OneSlow5pt0** · 03-20-2007, 11:51 PM

**13Bracer** · 03-21-2007, 12:12 AM

**halfshaft5** · 03-21-2007, 07:42 AM

Let me get to the office and see what time the meeting ends and I will post back up, any ideas of where to meet? God BLess
Michael

**halfshaft5** · 03-21-2007, 07:55 AM

Highlands, NC is the place I was thinking of, here is the map of the road in and out.

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...y=US&geodiff=1

Now, this is a curvy adn I mean curvy road, but also tight too so might not be quite as fun as the dragon but still fun. The highlands are so far from anywhere they dont have much as far as eats and like only 1 fuel stop that I remember but still nice and a good drive. This is my suggestion but then again open to any and all sugestions. Thanks and God bless
Michael

**halfshaft5** · 03-21-2007, 08:00 AM

Probably leave from Chattanooga and take 64 into the highlands and then take 28 to 441 in Clayton. From there I am open, I figure it would be a 3 hour trip or so.

**Lotte** · 03-21-2007, 12:22 PM

Wednesday? As in today? Where do you want to meet and time? And the Highlands looks awesome. Wonder if my crappy and worned out suspension can handler it.

Justin you gotta go.

Thanks Michael for getting all these information.

**halfshaft5** · 03-21-2007, 12:40 PM

Hey, no next week. Thats on Wed. that is. I will be working on a Black FD that I sold a guy in Atl. on Wed. Morning and early afternoon then to my meeting then meet up for dinner somewhere possibly pending it done early enough. Thanks and let me know. God Bless
Michael

**Lotte** · 03-21-2007, 12:45 PM

Next week Wednesday, I will be free.

**halfshaft5** · 03-21-2007, 03:44 PM

Crap,I feel like a retard......13Bracer.....Justin right, thats the car I sold you. Crap man, anyway we will be working on Justins car that day hopefully if the garage comes through so we can get him back up and running. My meeting is 6-9pm so would be late to meet afterwords so lets try to meet around 4 if we can,I know its still working time but if anyone takes off that day or we can just at least meet up around 9 or so somewhere and just check each others cars out. I might still drive the truck for the fact of hauling my tools and parts down to fix Justin's car so I will see if it fits in the 7. Thanks again all and God bless

I am a retard Justin, the calipers gave it away...hehehe.
