The RX-8's do seem to be quietly taking over as the FB's start reaching 30 years old.

The way things are going, the Silver One will be the only FB left in a year or two, plus a few SA museum pieces.

It's always a great evening Dave and Barron, you never know what to expect but it's always interesting.

I just hope we have a few more meetings where the FBs and SAs turn out together. The show up here and there, nice cars every one, but not all at the same time like the good old days.



The food might have something to do with it, there have been a lot of complaints about Twisted Tavern, the restaurant we hold the business meeting in. There's another place called Twisted Kilt that's supposed to have better food and waitresses people keep talking about.

Well, for the cars you can see in the photo above, which was from a meeting last year, there are 5 FB's, one SE and one SA. There's also a couple or three FC's on the other side, but they aren't worth much.

So here's the math:

5 FB's = 5 12A's
1 SE = 1 12A (early fuel-injected 13B's are considered experimental 12A's)
1 SA = 1.5 12A's
3 FC's = 1.5 12A's

Total 12A Equivalence = 9 12A's

That's for the cars you can see, there were some others not in the photo that evening.

Our current record for an OGTA meeting is 21.125 12A's. There were a lot of Old School's that evening.
