My boss is looking at FDs now...lol!

The GM of our company is a huge rotary fan, he owned every rotary engined car and truck EXCEPT the FD, so when I got mine running again he came out and checked it out, and was telling me, "I've been looking for a 930 Porsche, but....I may have to check into one of these!" He called me into his office a few days after that and was showing me pics of several FDs he'd found, and was asking a lot of (intelligent) questions about them. He seems to be leaning towards a couple of single-turbo conversion cars.

It would be cool to see him get one. And this guy just spent $40K remodeling his kitchen, so I don't think $$$ are an issue....lol!

Heh, that's awesome to have a cool boss like that. Who knows...he may lay down some Benjamins to build two FD-exclusive-onlly parking spaces (like those eBay signs) like they have for "Employee of the Month." Let us know what he finds.

unless he is a very patient man, he will probably buy one, and then grow to hate it

these cars tend to weed out everyone but hard core rotorheads

that was a classic exchange in DoO where Dennis ("sterling") referred to baja as a neo-con, f$@$ ****, etc etc for some of his more off the wall posts

I loved his posts, ha

haha, you love it, and you hate it. It's all one big triangle of love, but you make it work in the end.
