Cosmo replaces Buick...
About 3 years ago while filling up at a local gas station, I noticed a black Cosmo turn into the street I was in. Finished what I was doing and went for a look. Found it parked down the road so I stopped for a look. While doing so, a dude came out and asked me what I thought. I told him I hadn't seen many around, and was just having a look, as a rotary enthusiast. "Wanna buy one?", he asks....
"Nah, too many cars as it is man" I replied.
"Come and have a look anyway."
He took me into his garage and showed me one he built for his dad, who no longer drives it. "It's cheap" he tells me.
"Well, don't tell me how much, coz I can't."
Forward to last year, I run into him at a race meet. "Are you still interested?" he asks.....
"NO."
"Sure? I only want $X for it....."
"FFFFFFUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK. Now you tell me..... "
So, I put the Buick hearse on the market and it went intersate last month. Now, this little beauty will reside in it's place. A '90 with a '93 20BTT stock motor, auto and leather in Mercedes Amber Red. Replaced a big block Buick for a big block Mazda. See the other cars here:

Artist's impression of what my current Falcon wheels would look like. I would like to try and find the similar Mazda CX7 rims. Thoughts???

We'll try, same stud pattern, Falcon has 18's. Some Cosmos here roll around on 20's so it should be ok. It'll be easier to replace the Falcon's wheels than finding suitable ones for the Cosmo.
Can RHD models be brought to the U.S.? I didn't see any of these at SS last year...
