Hi all. I'm a new member of the club, located in Toronto, and glad to find folks who also are interested in this great little car. My wife and I bought a 1989 RX-7 convertible (blue) from her father in 2005 when he could no longer drive. I'm not really a gear-head and don't claim to know a lot about the car but we do love to drive it every summer. We found a mechanic who has his own shop a few miles away and he has helped us service and maintain it since we bought it.

I'm not sure what generation the car is or what model, but would love to hear more from fellow owners.

Looking forward to the upcoming driving season.

Regards, John

ON '89 rx-7

Here are a couple of pics of my car. While we bought it from my father-in-law, he bought it from his son (my wife's brother) back in '95 or so, when he needed some cash and a bigger vehicle when he got married. So, it's been in the family since new.

Welcome from a fellow Canadian.

My best guess is that those pictures weren't taken recently. I haven't seen grass that green in months! Lol
