"JDM" tail lights are exactly the same as North American tail lights. Only the Eurpoeans got a different model with a foglight (which I used to have, until my car was rearended ).

Definitely welcome to the club. I hope to see you at the various little Ottawa gatherings this year. We *SO* have to go back to that burger place.

They're right about one thing though: If you need any work done on your car, don't get any of the local shops to do it. We can help though. Well, I can't, since you drive an FC and not an FB.... but the others can.

Aaron.. your car has been front-ended AND rear-ended?

I remember reading about the bronco backing into you, but what happened to the rear end?

Jon

I think it's that woman who didn't realize she had brakes, she thought she had to use the rear bumber of the car ahead to stop at a red light.
That's not even the end of it, Aaron's been really unlucky with poor drivers on the road, but his luck has turned now

You guys don't seem to realize how many members the Québec Rx club has. We routinely get 10-15 people on our weekly meets, and that can double or triple in fixed-date events.

So imagine this, all the Ottawa area and Québec club people(it's only 1 hour apart) all in one meet... can't wait 'til mid-may again

In Ottawa, we consider taking our cars to a shop to be a sin. The greese is finally coming off all our hands from last summer. Nik still has some in his hair Two more months till it begins again. WERD

You're right - Frank was counting Running Rx-7's, so even if Rx7 Heaven was included the count would be the same!

Us Ottawa people should have another winter gathering..... I'm getting hungry!

If food is what it takes to get you to the meets Nick, then food it shall be!

...a big pile of BBQ ribs should suffice.


Speaking of piles, I think we should invite Dead Drunken Doug. I heard his ghost still lives up in that yard. We are missing out on eons of rotory experience...
