Old school line up

I took this picture in front of my house yesterday. Normally we allow only my wife's Odyssey to park in the rotary line. My son's friend is driving the 510 his grandfather restored for him. No it doesn't have a rotary, yet. He was excited when I told him I knew just the guy to build him a nice 13B. Beautiful car.

Can you find the 8 rotary powered vehicles? Three are very hard to see. Some of these even run I have a few more stowed away under tarps.

The Cosmo is what I drive every day. Nice cold AC and PS. Used to be an auto. I fixed that. Had 43k when I got it. 77k now 2 engines later. Paint is original and not supposed to be two tone All the upper surfaces are chalky and badly oxidized. Paint on the sides, front and back looks great especially after a little of this http://www.zainostore.com/

the FL heat can tear up some older paint pretty quickly..and interior too. thats pretty sweet to hear that you drive that Cosmo every day! you may need to post more eye candy pics of it

Here's a few more of the 84 GSL my son drives. Just finished shining it up with the Zaino I mentioned earlier. It makes the paint look much better than it is. I noticed I'd forgotten to clean the wheels after I took the pictures I have three sets of the LE wheels. Stock color is gray. I painted these to match the car. They are 14" and fit all the old school except the Cosmo. It needs 4 X 120. You think 4 X 110 is hard to find. Luckily I got several sets with the Cosmo. Here are some pictures of the day I bought the Cosmo. We have 6 Toyota and 2 Ford PUs for our business so I have plenty of back up vehicles. The business is based on our 3 acre property so I'm working in the office or greenhouse here much of the time. Unless I have to carry plants and equipment, I'm driving the Cosmo or the GSL when I can "borrow" it from my son. Yes, I am constantly asked "What the ... is that?", but no one says "I/my dad/friend used to have one of those".

That's what I really need. RX-3 was my first rotary. Just send it east Wacky. You can see it will have good company.

That Zaino is magical stuff - takes a beating thru Alaska winters and still beads in the spring!
Good on you for making the RX5 a DD - does it have the alloy wheels? I always thought the pattern on those were pretty cool... and I swear-to-gawd that rose wood steering wheel it real?! I guess the -5 was insanely popular back in japan, because -ironically- it looked so "american". Go figure.
