CO Rotard meets at my place between FoCo and Loveland

Hey all you Rocky Mountain rotards!

I am feeling some serious rotary withdrawals, so I want to set up some rotarhead meets. I am happy to volunteer my house, and my amazingly sweet and patient wife has agreed to allow a bunch of grungy car freaks over.

Obviously, we're getting a little late in the season for BBQ, so I say we meet up, watch some video, drink some drinks (virgin or otherwise), swap lies, swap parts and maybe share some wrenching. (That stuff always goes better/faster with two pairs of hands.)

What do you say, NoCo people? Let's talk interest and scheduling. Hit me up in PM for address/phone number.

Cool of you to offer. Wish I didn't have to store the Rx during winter.

Hey Purple82. Nice of you to check in. I remember your car, and I wouldn't subject it to the winter here either. I don't care what anybody is driving. (I'm stuck driving the Subaru battlewagon) I'm just looking to spend some time hanging out with fellow rotorheads...

Hey all. I sent PMs. I'm not quite as brave as jungguo, posting my phone # in the clear.
I'm down any time I'm not too busy. Weekends are going to be the best time to get a group together. GOTPAM?: Let me know when you're back stateside. You're definitely invited...

So I was thinking about this weekend. I've been doing 12-hour days in Denver all this week, and I'm working on buying a non-sunroof base model FC up in Wellington, but maybe some of us can get together on Sunday? Let me know...

The driveshaft didn't bother me so much. The catback didn't bother me so much. The bad oil control rings and rear body damage were the deal-breaker for me...

Well, no one showed up this weekend, but at least I got my Katana tuned. Next weekend I'm gonna block off some time. If no one shows, I'm gonna see if I can get the engine harness swapped in the TII.

OK, let's be more honest: I'm a cheap bastard who would rather spend money on turbos and tires, so I have no data services.

I'm thinking around 1pm. We tend to do these things from early afternoon until whenever. We're mostly thinking kabob-style goodies.
I've been seeing a fair number of RX7s around Fort Collins, just not often enough. There are a few really nice-looking FDs that see sunshine from time to time. I've seen some FCs, and a handful of FBs as well.
