I saw an FD last night that I don't think I've seen before. It was black with burgundy interior. The burgundy makes me think it came from the U.S. (Wasn't burgundy only available on silver FDs in the US?)

Both silver and black US imported cars could have red interiors. It was discontinued half way through 1994. The red color was a different shade in 1993 than it was in 1994. The 1994 was slightly darker and the interior had more black (door panels etc).

Spotted nice red FD, going north on Macleod near Smugglers (south of Glenmore), 6:45 Sat. night - nice sounding exhaust (the exhaust note as it decelerated was what made me look), looked like it was lowered, needed a wash 
Spotted - clean red s5 na, nice wheels - on Deerfoot north and south, Barlow, Shephard Rd, taking ramps unreasonably fast and having too much fun, Saturday afternoon. Oh, wait, that was me Taking advantage of the unseasonably nice weather to have the 7 out for some exercise when it would normally already be hibernating. Even had the AC on for while. Sweet day...

Very surprised given the bitter cold and icy streets to see a shiny red FD parked at the Glenmore Inn the last couple of days - lowered, with big chromed wheels (I'd guess 18's) - and accident damage on the left rear quarter panel I noticed yesterday, but not the day before - maybe I just didn't notice, or maybe related to big power and performance tires on slippery streets. Too bad if so - the owner could pick up a winter beater for less than just the cost of the tires, and save a nice 7 from the ravages of winter. Anyone on here?

Insurance doesn't seem to be a problem at all with rhd. At least as far as I know.
Frankly the rhd wasn't much of a factor in me buying it. I went totally for frame. No dmg no rust and running engine (which I might completely overhaul with my bro next summer anyways, but on the other hand it runs quite well with only 62k kms on it, so might just leave it). I never really drove stick before the tII so didn't affect my instincts anyways
, fyi learning stick on a modded rx7 = hard!
Anyways there seem to be some nice 10ae's for sale in Calgary/Edmonton, saw the ad's on the other calgary forum that starts with a B. (forgot if saying other forums are against rules, but should be easy to figure out which).
damn snow is coming
hope we have that meet soon.
Gee

Thats the Gist of it, i am going to import a FD when the thime comes, can't wait, i'vd driven right hand drive before and i love it, it feels more (Putting On Flame Suit) "natural" cause i'm right handed, and as far as insureance goes it does not really matter, one of my good freinds has a 1990 300ZX 2+2 TT and his insurance is under $120 month, RHD and everything, when i get my car for a small price (cost of gas) i'll bring it down to calgary one day (LIve in Red Deer) and let some of ya have a go at it, really nice to drive, not as fun as the Pocket Bike i rode to Grad on, down a secondary highway, Goodness what a rush, had a F350 Superduty look at me like brunch, but still freaking fun.

Could someone PM me with the name of the forum Geeman is referring to when he mentions "the other calgary forum that starts with a B"? I'm curious.

I seen an astoundingly beautiful GOLD S5 a couple weeks ago. It was on 32nd Ave I think. Im sure it had a body kit, but I only noticed the side-skirts and sport-spoiler.
