I will be at the Auto Show on Thursday evening.  If all goes well and

there

are passes left after our customers go through, I'll get a chance to

take

a

few pictures.  If I can get a picture of the RX8 I'll post to the list.

By the way Paul, do you still plan to go to Japan?  Will you visit
Hiroshima?  Mazda has a museum that I believe would interest you.  I

also

have a contact for you.  He works in Quality Control in the body area.

Can

you send me your private email address?   The only problem is he will be
leaving for the US for a business trip on Jan. 25.  He asks when will

you

be

there?  There are only tours of the body assembly and final assembly

lines.

No engine plant tour.  Maybe can sneak something else in.  Still, the

museum

is worth seeing.  Should have Lemans racer there?

Mark Curley

Beg, borrow, buy, or steal a digital camera and take some pictures of the
engine  for us if you can.

OK Mark. I am going around the 24th of this month I think.
I could change my plans if he could arrange a engine plant tour.
I could go a few days earlier while he was still there.
I saw the Lemans racer here in Anaheim a couple of months ago.

If you want to contact me privately just put the word PRIVATE at the top
of the message.

I'm also working on a high level contact for you through my contact in
Irvine. Word is though, from an Engineer there, they are worried about the
liability issues you mentioned. I'll let you know as soon as I hear
something.

OK thanks John. I think if I can't get a engine plant tour I don't
want to go. Mention the great article to be published in Sport Aviation
mag next month and how that is going to help sell RX8s to pilots
all over the world. In fact print this out and give them a copy.
Well maybe not. On second thought they may want to claim ignorance
from a product liability point of view. Tell them if anybody
ever sues them I will be an expert witness on their side.

Paul Lamar

I'll forward this to Mike (you met him with me at the Rotary Meet
@Irvine...tall 6'5" guy) and let him decide as he has the feel for the
situation. I did mention to him your offer as witness if needed. Hopefully
well hear something soon.
Fingers Crossed! :)

Great John thanks.
