I understand your lust Mike, those wheels are to die for:



And it's true, duck tape can turn a Chrysler Mini Van into a sports car over in Alabama.

Here's an Alabamian taking his wife for a ride in his sports car:



And in North Carolina you can convert a Chrysler Mini Van into an SA with this stuff:

Ray, if a Chrysler minivan appears on blocks in your driveway, I had nothing to do with it. Just sayin'.

Actually I'm partial to Panasports and LE wheels Tim.

Those Enkei92's work on mini-vans, but not so much on FB's, IMHOP.

(When I said "to die for" I meant I'd die before I'd put them on my LE).

On the other hand, a mid-80's Chrysler Mini-Van makes an excellent storage shed.

So bring your Plasti-Dipped Chrysler Mini-Van on over Tim.

I've got the blocks, you can have the wheels.

Vape is for kids Paul. Boinger Brains. Wankel Wanna Be's.

OGTA's drink Goat Beer, originally formulated by Felix and certified by Jackson himself.

Ray, we need pictures of the Goat Beer and Jackson, or it didn't happen.

Glad to see this thread is returning to its roots - beer, goats and wankels.

Speaking of beer, my first batch at the new house has been brewed and sits behind me in my office burbling away as we speak.

And I'll be ready.

The pressure plate was the problem all along. There is a little retaining ring inside of the pressure plate that broke its weld.

Finally I can wash and put away the Karmann Ghia and stop daily driving it. Now back to my real daily; my RX

Check out this video. Tommy, Holly, Billy and the RX-8 guys are going to love this. Ray, you probably should not watch this.

Fake News Mike. Just another Democrat Lie.

The Drive By Media won't be happy until everyone is on food stamps and COVID-19 infects white people.

All that nonsense about engine replacements, soft suspension and mini-van aesthetics???

Are you kidding me? I mean, did you see it blow by that bicycle at 10:18 in the video?

And here's something I didn't know, the Renessis engine will undergo Harmonic Detonation at 14,000 rpm!

Cool! Have you tried that yet Tommy?

Actually, that guy in the video looks just like Tommy.

You don't think ...?

We have been for a long time Tommy.

You should see some of the other videos.

So, back to Rotary Content.

Is anybody going to DGOE?

This is an SA/FB event only, no FC's, FD's, FE's or FI's (except SE's).

DGOE = Deal's Gap OGTA Edition

SA/FB = 1st gen RX-7

FC = 2nd gen RX-7

FD = 3rd gen RX-7

FE = red haired step child

FI = Fuel Injected; it's a Carbs Only Affair

No cabins from what I understand. The area around the collar got a little red; they are hosting at the Microtel.

I finally registered... gonna be lite this year; not too many people are on the list.
