CT New member with Turbo II

Hi folks, I have lots of guitar forum experience, but none here. Back in 1992 when I was 40 I bought an RX-7 Turbo II. I spent at least a year looking for it and found this beauty. It had 43k when I bought (it's still under 50k). It has a five speed and grey leather.



At the time I was into watching indy and IMSA racing and going to Lime Rock as a spectator. My job involved driving around in a company car (station wagon) and I practiced and honed my driving skills on the company's dime.

Most every Sunday, I would watch a race, call my (late) brother who was on a race team and an auto crosser then I'd take my RX out for a 7 mile ride on a twisty and hilly road at 3X the posted speed.

Lately I have only driven the car a few times a year. I have an Aprilia scooter, 1990 Miata, a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser and an 09 Civic in the family.

I'm here to either get enthused about the RX or find out if I want to sell it.

Looking forward to meeting you all!
Dwight
