rotary dominating magazines lately!

last week i got the newest Grassroots Motorsports which features a Rotary-powered Triumph and an FD.

now today i got the new Autoweek and whats on the cover AGAIN, but the RX-8. thats good.... open up the world to rotaries. at least this Autoweek actually gets into some technical details instead of their last article on the RX-8, which described the renesis as "an alloy/iron sandwich.... with the alloy being the meat and the iron being the bun" or something like that i forget how they worded it.

Maybe "our" day in the sun is getting ready to happen. I know that new R100,RX2 owners must have felt the same excitement.
I was only 10 but I remember the excitement of the 1st Gen RX7. My oldest brother had one of 2 RX7's in my town in late 78'. That car received treatment like a spaceship landing.
Who knows maybe this idea that the rotary is the engine of the future might take hold? Especially with the new engine design.

Would someone rich enough to spare 50 cents be generous enough to mail me a subscription card out of Grassroots Motorsports magazine?

I know it's one of the best mags out there, but I have never seen a copy of it in my life - and I've been looking for 3 years now. Stupid canada.

PM me if you want to help me out

I think once people begin learning about the rotary, the older mazda's, rx2's rx3's ect will really climb in value.
