Thought you FB guys might like this

So I'm selling a car and was contacted by an interested party. During our conversation they said they owned an RX7 which I thought was cool being that I'm and FD owner. Anyway's, they sent me this picture of their "Twin 83 RX7's". Holy cow, those things are in great shape. She proceeded, sadly, to tell me that the one on the right was stolen from the mechanics shop one night last July in Bedford. Sucks, but I at least wanted to share the picture with the FB owners on this site. Two great examples of the FB.

Steve

They are in Milan, Ohio. The owner informed me that the stolen one was never recovered. She just said that the dealership left it out front overnight instead of pulling it behind the gated service parking lot. They are pretty upset about it.

Damn those bandits! Thanks for posting that pic Steve. Happy to add it to my collection of RX-7 images collected off the internet. Love the red barn behind those beautiful twins.

Another pair of different color:
