Great Cruise
It was nice to get some kilometers on the RX-7 even if I didnt get to see it turn 100k's on the trip (Mazda tech got to see that happen)
Jen sent me some pictures this morning and said that she was glad she came along for the ride.
Now maybee I can convince her to get an RX8 instead of a Mazda 3.
Anyhoo are some pic's

great cruise, hope everyone had a great time. definitely flattered when the bacon took time to spend on the RX crew
thanks to Alvin for the ride, was ashamed to be a passenger, though that did give me the chance to take pics.
thanks to others for the giggles.
if time allows, I might try to be at the meet on thurs since its one of the last.
sky was cloudy, car was moving, windshield was blocking, and part of the cruise was even gone; but no more excuses so here are the pics and a vid (stupid me, was trying to record the sound but my window was not open):

I was at the back of the pack to make sure that no-one got lost or stranded since I had an FRS and cell with me. We made a 180 degree turn and I planted the throttle for the hundredth time that day and I heard very loud POP. Starting losing power and eventually died. I honestly thought I blew up my first rotary but after a regained composure I realised I just blew off an intercooler hose creating a massive vacuum leak.
Thankfully a couple of bikers stopped and asked me "is that a wankel"? I didn't know how to answer since I didn't want to become anyone's gimp. But the truth prevailed, they wew\re really into the car and had lots of questions. They gave me a bungee cord to hold up the intercooler since it had lost its retaining bolt and then gave me directions to the next pitstop. Super nice people.

It is a good thing! I could only imagine officer white with their traps.
"just keep going........slowly...." as per Neo as we drive by the cruiser.
"oh ****.....he got them....just keeeeeeeeeeep going"..........
"ticket for what?.........indecent exposure........"

Wow! I had a blast. Man is my *** sore from driving from 8am to 10:30pm. I suspect that LawyerSpirit may be suffering from the same though from a different affliction involving two bikers and a bungy cord. What a great route (minus the search in Niagara).
Looking forward to the next cruise...come on Spring!!!
