the only downside is they're british, and british cars = broken most of the time.

they look cool and all, but i'll admire from afar

a buddy of mine's got a little Fiat roadster...he's gotta change the top, but it's otherwise in decent shape and runs like a champ. i love the thing...heh.

This makes them different from RX7's how?

they make great ramps for BMX bikes too - a Fiat, a long sheet of 3/4 plywood, and a big hill overlooking a lake... ahh, those were the days

Yes you read that correctly. I am going tomorrow to the guys house to drop off the down payment. Now it's all up to my lawyer and getting me my money in time. I'll keep you posted. Otherwise for the details,

93 Mazda RX-7 twin turbo'd, of course.
85,000 miles on car, 1,500 on new rebuilt motor
5 speed
Tourin Package
Red

As for the mechanics, interior, exterior. The plastic on the sunroof, mirrors and around the rear hatch are faded, but that is normal. Interior is in almost cherry condition, it's missing the A/C ****. As for the outside, the gas door needs a new cable, and there is an eraser sized ding above the gas door. Under the hood was completely stock, no leaks, no oil dripping, no sweet smell out of the exhaust. That pretty much covers it all.

Very beautiful car, the guy is selling it to me for 12,000, which for most of you rotor heads know is a very good deal. The guy is giving me 30 days, because he has 2 other people that are highly interested in the car, but I was the first to call with the fact that I had the down payment. So please people, WISH me lots of luck on persuing one of my dream cars.

This would put me one step closer to achieving one of my goals in life and owning all 3 generations of the RX-7. I get goose bumps just thinking about it *shivers*
