It was great to see a couple of the MI rotary guys at the Furrin group auto-x this past weekend at MSU. I didn't have the 7 out there since my gf and I were trying out her car, but it was a blast none-the-less!

Hey, you should've hit me up me for a ride! I'm terrible at remembering faces though, so if I saw you and didn't say hi please forgive me.

Yo Michigan people, i went with my girlfriend to Michigan last June for a short week of vacation. As far as i remember, i saw one white FC TII or i think that was a 10th AE but i am not so sure coz it was going south on highway M53 and we were going north. My Gf and i are planning to go again next year so maybe i can come by for some import meet or gathering around warren area or anywhere as long as it is not too far. My girl lives at warren so i would love to meet new rotary head people. I am from Nor-Cal "San Francisco" and from time to time i organize some car meet at south San Francisco area. I usually set up a mix cars on meet. I would love to come and attend a car meet at Michigan. Here is the link to the car meet i set.

I saw the twin of my FD in Rockford last night. It was red and I think it was an R1. It was coming at me on 10 Mile and surprised me. I rarely see them anywhere around here.

If your new car is what I think it is, it might be a honda event rather than a Mazda event.

How long has that michiganrotaryclub.com site been up? I used to be on the mirotaryclub.com years ago until it got hacked.

Does anyone need a 12A clutch? For free? I have one that was given to me a while back. It's from Rotary Engineering. Buy me a Diet Coke and I'll bring it on Saturday. :-)

At ~4:05 today (11/5/11)I spotted a black series 4 RX7 convertible in Sterling Heights heading north on Ryan at the 17 mile & Ryan intersection. I didn't see it until it was kind of far away, so I didn't see any defining details, but it was definitely an S4 vert. Looked to be in pretty good shape.

Mad props for still having the top down.

I saw a gray S4 FC today in Troy (John R and Maple/15 mile rd). It was gray, looked like red interior, and had aftermarket 5-spoke wheels.

Spotted more RX7s this weekend, both while coming home from up north!

First one was a red FC. I saw it heading east on US 10, but I don't remember where. It was red and looked to have different colored driver side front fender (I believe it was that champagne-y color). It also had an even coat of dirt like it had been driven on a dirt road a lot.

Second was a red FD. It appeared to be completely stock, it was on the other side of the highway so I didn't get a really good look at it. It was heading north on I-75, I believe I saw it near the Clarkston area.

Hi folks.... can anyone recommend a body repair shop in the Grand Rapids/Allendale area? My daughter got in a minor bender from black ice, and has some front end damage on her 2001 Saturn (65,000 miles). Since I'm here closer to The D, I could use any suggestions for repair. Used parts ok. Thanks!
