Well, I guess I'm in 'early geezerdom' compared to a few of you guys. I'll be 46 this year.

This is my second RX7 go 'round; I had an '82 GS several years ago, and wish I still had it! I raced dirt bikes for years, got tired of bruises etc., about two years ago I switched to autocross with an eye to Solo I and IT racing. I currently have a '79, an '81 GSL, and an '84 GS.

By the way, congrats for jump starting a two year old thread. I think that's a record!

Pretty good stable. But as you advance into maturity you'll find that to really get the chicks you need a REPU.

Bob:
You got me all mixed up now, but that's easy to do these days!
You said:
"I think I may be the oldest old fart on the forum at 73"
Then I said I was 74.
Now you tell me you've got me beat by 8 or 9 years which would make you 82 or 83 - is that it?
So you're 83-ish and not only that but it's chiselled in stone?????

If so, congrats from rainy Wales!

It's the active ingredient in marijuana.

Now does it make sense?

Hi initab
Errr - I couldn't say that there had been a brilliant flash of light and I understood all! Bob's a bit too cryptic for me, I guess.

This is Geezer Wars - birth certificates at dawn !!!!

Best regards,

I'm 17 here, going on 18 in july. I bought My 83 GS when i was 16 years old, back in september 2002. In 2003, i put a GSL-SE engine in it, with my dellorto 48mm carb .. so this is a pretty fast little car and fun to drive.

I'm 35 and currently have an '85 SE which I bought 2
years ago. First one was an '80 when I was 21, it is still
running fine in my neighborhood in Puerto Rico.

RE: age

It Is Good To See All ages Of People With A Passion For the RX-7 And The Rotary Engine, And I Am 18. My First Car Was An RX-7. It Was A 1980 That I Bought For Fifty Dollars. My Second Car Was A 1983 GSL RX-7. And the Car I Drive Right Now is A 1984 GS. Really Good Shape. I Love It!

And As For The "REPU's Get The Chicks" Statement. I Must Disagree. My Ex Girlfriend Loved My RX-7's. And With A Decent Header And A Nice Paint Job, These Cars Can turn Heads.

Ahhh, but did she stay with you when a REPU drove by?!

Watch out! REPUs are terminally cute!

Hi Bob,

Yep ! We're doing OK. It's just a case of hanging in there for as long as possible. Thanks for the interesting email, good to hear from/about you.

Regards,
Frank
