Amen.

I'm seeing a reunion at next year's DGRR.

Jay, Nick, Carlos, maybe even Paul.

And that New Guy with the Baby Blue FB.

Who has a ported 12A to match.

Also Bori, I'd like to see any one of his units. Even the one's that aren't FB's.

And let's not forget the Greg's, Younger and Elder.

They've never been in the Mountains as far as I can tell.

But we can teach them.

Maybe even Mike and Robert will show up.

I'll buy, nothing but Sam Adams.

Zoom Zoom.

Dang, what a steal on that red FD, hopefully he got a little more than that for it...

Some of you saw these pics on Facebook but wanted to post here too, we have a few new additions to the Linton household!

Meet Morgan, our newest bundle of joy. He arrived in mid-August and is quite a chunk, happy and healthy.



I had to keep the people to car ratio equal, so I got this gem about 2 weeks ago.

Not Jeremy's, but from Alex. He's moved on to another sweet rotary project, I'll leave that up to him to share though 😊

No underhood pics of the new car yet but once I'm finished swapping over the goodies from my black one, I'll post a pic! The interior is absolutely beautiful... I'll post more soon!

It certainly is the right color -- White!

And pretty as can be. You're moving on up Brett.

You named your kid correctly Brett, Mr. Morgan:



And with Robert as a middle name, you couldn't be more politically correct:

I'm thinking Linton for President in 2045, what do you guys think?

Drove up to Bryson City, NC and scored these 4x110 wheels for 150. Now to try them on when I get her back, which should be next week if the temp and oil gauges come in early next week

Those are good looking wheels, and at a damn good price! They'll look awesome on that first gen. I had set of Ronal wheels on my first FC

Got her back last night. First thing I noticed, the car is extremely loud. So it looks like I'm going to put a presilencer and a racing beat muffler. Anyone have any of these parts and looking to make some coin?

Power pulse mufflers are Unobtanium.

And I hear the new ones are made of stainless. Not sounding good.

A good presilencer and a decent muffler are in your future Mr. B.

But until then, could you post a youtube of that unmuffled Wankel wonderfullness?

Purity as only the Rotary Gods would understand?

Please post. Thanks!

What a night last night. Lost my damn water pump belt. Temp gauge went to the notch before the over temp notch. Then 2 hours driving back and forth to the auto part store to find a damn belt that fit. Didn't see any coolant boiling over so I hope I didn't cause any damage. Left work at 5, home at 930

Wow, same thing happened to me on my first FC, lost the belt the day after an engine install. It was my mistake, though, I installed the spacer on the wrong side of the alternator mount and my pulley's weren't aligned. Hope she's okay and un-damanged!
