I'll be there, although it will be a short evening for me.

I was delighted to learn when I went in to vote this morning that in Georgia there is no such thing as a registered Democrat or Republican, you simply pick your party when you show up and they give you the ballot.

So I'm a Republican for A Day, time to Make America Great Again (and elect Hillary in November).

Only 236 more views until we hit a Million! This might be the night.

I wonder what happens when we hit 1,000,000 views. It looks like we could run out of space in the text box. Maybe the Matrix is not written to handle more than 6 digits. Tim, can you save us?

Great meet, was glad to get to see everybody and hope everyone got home safe in the weather. And it was a nice sight to see the thread hit 1M views at the meet. Hoping Ray will bless us with some great shots he got with that brand new roll of film 🎥 he brought

Here you go Cam, the March 1, 2016 Super Tuesday OGTA Meeting Report.

This was the night that the OGTA thread went over 1 million views (and the night Hillary got elected):

Great turn out, lots of Mazda’s, Wankels not so much.

But a new guy named Scott showed up with a really clean unmolested 84 GSL that’s identical to the first one I bought, back in 2001. Light Beige on Brown Leather with pin stripes, a very nice combination:

I can't fix stoopid Mike.

Nice turnout for the OGTA meet. Maybe some day it will not rain on you guys.

Turns out the Matrix can handle 7 digits in the view count. Went over 1M views, no problem.

dimented we are, yes this is true. It's a good thing.

Mr. Tools from Akron, the OGTA meetings are about a two hour drive from Savanah, come on up for a meet sometime, your black FB will be properly appreciated.

Brett, check your math. We passed 10K a long time ago.

Currently we are at 18,164.

And hey, where was that Brit Green FD of yours last night, in the garage?

And Fred, when we gonna see you again or what?

Fantastic meeting last night, thanks guys!

Thanks for the response! Flying to Savannah tomorrow for an interview. All indications are that I'm to expect an offer to get my s&$t together, close up shop and move there with my gal Cindy. Lots of prep involved so don't have firm time table. Rest assured it looks like a lock and fully expect to move us, the cats and my baby doll ( gorgeous original black 85 Se) to warmer climes where I can stop winter storage forever. Ohio is tough on us rotory heads that have to wait Oct-April to enjoy a cruise. I'm new to the forum but not 7's. Thus is my 3rd. Look forward to hooking up. Thanks for the warm welcome.!!

Nice looking RX3 Ben, looks a lot like Flipper. An RX for sure.

I've been trying to tell you guys SkyActiv counts as a 12A equivalent, but nobody ever listens. Maybe someday y'all will see the light.

Mr. Tools you've got the right idea leaving the cold salty roads of Ohio and moving to Georgia. I'm a transplanted northerner too, everything about the south is better (except maybe the politics) and the weather is the best you can find anywhere, 12 months of rotary pleasure.

We look forward to seeing you and your black SE, it sounds like a good one. Post some pics if you get a chance. Do you have the red leather interior?

I've been working this forum from my iPhone so I guess I'm going to have to get on my lap top and get serious. I've yet to try posting pics (don't know how too yet) but it's inevitable. My best pics are on my cell so I will endeavor to get them moved and posted. I've never personally cared for red leather interior (though I had it in my 84se from 88-92) and was really elated to get mine (11 years ago) with the gray/black valour. Mine was manufactured late April early May of 85 but just missed the matching painted mirrors. It also does not have the p/s option which is great to me. The story on how I got this one is long and "one for the books". Can't wait to share it with "y'all." Mine will not disappoint. My bucket list is to have a black FC and FD to add to this one before I can't drive anymore or dead. I came close last week to adding the FC TII but somebody offered the guy more than his asking price. Bummer. I'm pretty psychotic about 7's, it's truly been a disease since my first drive back in 1984. IMO the First Gens are the most beautiful cars ever produced..never rain or snow on mine. Drive it every chance I get.
