58. Retired Electrical Engineer, now doing some VERY limited special project development and some teaching of Electrical stuff.

First FD new in 1993, raced it, crashed it, fixet it, sold it with less than 10 K miles.

Second FD in 2005, 45K miles. Mods in progress. About to get a brand new set of BNRs from Bryan, any day now to replace my working twins.

Have raced NASA and SCCA for many seasons with lots of success, all in various rotary engine configurations, from Pro7, GT-2, GT-3 and Formula Mazda. Owned many REALLY FAST cars, including two Lamborghinis. All time favorite is the FD for its unparalleled handling, light weight, timeless styling and mod-ability.

When I quit racing 3 years ago I thought that I had the need for speed and fast cars out of my blood. No chance. Just had to get an other one. I still hit 140 MPH jusf about every single time that I take it out (limited by the longest straight road section in my hilly neighborhood).

Intend to hold on to this car for a very long time.
