The British accent makes it even "Betta"!!!

Sweet. Very Sweet. Do you want to go in halves?

Sept. to March, she's in Savannah. April to August she's in Jefferson.

That would be $4500 each, cheap for a sweety like that. I'll do the oil changes.

Hell you don't need a wife and I don't need my fiancée!!! ..... Ugh.... Yea we do. But seriously? That is a sweet find and actually not terribly over priced. I'd love to have that one 😈

It's tempting Paul, but I think I'd better save my money, and my marriage, by fixing up the Jeep and the White One first.

Look what Mazda has in store for next spring:

A hardtop miata coupe. Nice. I bet a rotary would slot into it really well too.

Forget the folding hardtop, adds too much weight. I want to see a rotary in the cup car in the background.

Miata's have been waiting for a true hardtop for a long time, it was needed to shed that Barbie Doll image.

When I get mine, it will have the top and it will be British Racing Green for sure.



Anybody going to the OGTA meeting tonight?

Met up with Ben this past weekend to purchase a GSL rear end from him for my LE. He has a great set up and seems an even better guy! Im looking forward to eventually meeting the rest of the crew.

I also recently purchased an RB power pulse muffler to calm down the brappage rattling through my head. Hopefully sooner rather than later she will be ready to make a journey towards the OGTA i keep reading so much about

I'll be there, hoping to see that Yellow Wonder with the New Wheels and maybe even get a chance to meet your dad.

I hope John makes it with his RX-3, I think he said that fresh paint job he got is cherry red, which should look nice lined up against your yellow SA.

Hey yellow!!! Thank you a thousand times for that video. To know that I watched that car get purchased from a barn find in my home state of Ohio them end up on this video is precious. I was in your dads head as the wheels were spinning from memories as he sat down inside. A thousand recollections all in a moment as he closed the door and stared at the dash and put his hand on the stick.. Wow..!! Thank you.. And those mags look great!!! Well done !!

Phil's dad Charles is a very cool guy indeed, he's a fellow that's been there, done that when it comes to RX-7's.

Michael that is actually a very avant-garde way to do a reality video, makes you feel like you're really there. I learned it in Art School.

John has done quite a nice job with that RX-3.

New Zealander's have a special talent when it comes to Old School's, nothing subtle about that unit.

And there were more old schools, another RX-3 (Gene) and new guy Rom's absolutely mint RX-2, which was my favorite.

Plus SA's galore.

Here's the pics, check the photo title for the owner, sorry for the delay, there was a power outage in the darkroom last night:

Nice pic Brett. That is us.

The 12A count was beyond the limits of current calculation, but it was big.
