Smile Heresy & Blasphemy

I don't believe it. I just recieved my Victoria British catlogue yesterday.

IT HAS A 2ND GEN ON THE FRONT COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With aftermarket wheels.






Hell, if I had known they were going to do that, I would have taken mine down to them, they're only an hour away, and mine looks better.

Whew! At first I thought you had lost all your marbles and were considering a V8 swap or something.

Lol, that's funny. I was surprised too, when I got mine the day before yesterday.

Shh...don't tell anyone, but those 2nd gens are dog-ugly.

I agree, Hammy. They have no distictive lines. And remember, I'm a professional artist.
However, I'm glad somebody carries a full line of 1st gen nit picky parts.

Sorrry to dash the second gen bash guys, but I was thinking my 2nd gen would look better than the one on the cover.

I talkled to Tom at VB last summer, really nice kid, doesn't work there anymore, and he said they were looking for a 1st gen for the fall cover. I didn't have one done and didn't volunteer my 2nd. I never thought they would put any other gen on the cover. My guess is, since they are expanding their product line, we may even see a 3rd gen, someday.

The tenth anniversary ones aren't as bad as the base models and 2nd gens with body kits look better.

The 2nd gen looks to me a bit like a Porsche 944, also nondescript in the sports car world. Get a 911 already.

even though i was 10, i wasn't paying attention when the 2nd gen came out.

that must have been depressing for alot of people. i mean the day finally comes, after 7 years, a new RX-7!!!! ..............and out rolls this big fat lump of crap damn

actually, i don't mind the turbo 2nd gen's, and i think they can look really nice done up with the proper body kit, i even used to drive a TII, but nothing ever comared to my 1st gen's
