Old guys with 12As club meeting
03-29-13, 01:19 PM
From the 09-04-07 archive:
"SEs are considered experimental RX-7s. Although fitted with the less reliable fuel injected 13Bs, they are considered a 1st gen in spirit. Therefore:
1 SE = 1 1st gen
The fuel injected, turbo'ed, overweight porche-imitation 2nd gens still have a rotary engine, albeit a 13B, so they are also counted towards the Record:
2 2nd gens = 1 1st gen
The degenerate, twin-turbo'ed luxury 3 rd gens also get credit:
3 3rd gens = 1 1st gen
Genuine '83 LE wheels are incredibly rare and therefore worth 12A credit while off the car:
1 decent set of LE wheels = 1 1st gen"

Hey michael, when do you think you may be doing another joy ride through the mountins again? Id like to see how your 83 is running and you can check out the 80 ls I've been working on.

Bueller... Bueller....I had to remove my rack and storage box from my Rav4 so I could pull into my garage to tear it down. So I decided to see what it looks like on the SA. The SA is ready for expeditions!

Gravity. Thule and Yakima make mounts to mount to the rain rails. The roof rack is the stock rack from my Rav4. I just had to take it off so I could pull my Rav4 into my garage to do some work in the rain. So I decided to set the rack on top of the SA to see how it looked. Eventually the SA will get a rack though.

Who is coming out to OGTA meeting tonight? 1st couple pitchers of beer will be on OGTA for the legal drinkers. We have a credit for winning trivia last time.

I feel like the office worker who didn't chip in on the lottery pool and now wants his share after we hit the jackpot, but I'll be there cashing in on that beer.

I'm going to try to make it out, I've missed too many meets lately. I think I may have some family crap to deal with after work but maybe it won't take too long...

04-02-13 OGTA Report:
We were short a few 12A's, but a great meeting none-the-less.
Mike's Honda Powered Go Cart took top honors
Jeremy's white FC was the prettiest rotary there, in my humble opinion
Followed closely by Lee's immaculate FC
Brett + GF finally showed up

Only rotaries and Mazdas get pics Mike, you know that.
Brett, I'll give you my 12A when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Lee's FC is one fine car and exactly the right color and finish.
He wants to practically give it to someone who will appreciate and take care of it, which is why he's bringing it to the OGTA meetings.
I would probably be that person if I hadn't just committed to SkyActiv technology.
For the price he's asking, I could have had free gas for the next 10 years of commuting into Atlanta in that pretty thing, saving the miles on my precious 12As.
But alas, the Rotary Gods had other ideas.
The White One will rise again.

Does anybody know this car or its owner, who goes by "sleeping-7" on the forum? He's from Cumming, says he will be at the May OGTA meeting:

It's even got your favorite interior, Ray:
This is his FC:

Aaron is moving up in the neighborhood.
And for a car like that, I just might have a red leather driver's seat upgrade for him.
Love the white. And it's an SE, to go along with those gull wings.
