20 years!

It's a little early, buy why not kick off the year with some nostalgic feels. I've tried to upscale the official video for the first RX-7 Revolution as best I (read: the tool) can. The static photos at the end...well..there's only so much it can do given it was a pretty low res source. Trying to upscale to UHD was an effort in futility.

I suppose this thread can be used as a reminiscing thread. I've been out of the Midwest area, and the country for that matter, for over 12 years now, and mostly out of the rotary scene for the same amount of time...but the car is still in my possession; nestled away, eagerly awaiting my attention to return.

While there have been bigger and certainly more consistent get togethers, I think the short lived nature of this event holds a special little place. Certainly here given this section even still exists.

If anyone's got some nice stories, fire 'em up.

Without further ado...

Awesome video! Would be interesting to know how many of those cars are still around and with the same owners.

Still have mine, albeit in less than whole condition.
