TX !!!FD sighting!!!

To some of you this isn't a big deal but I Never see any 7's where I live and Yesterday and today I saw one!!! It was a White FD with no wing and HID headlights (They looked Blue). I could hear the turbo from a good distance away and it was really clean. I was trying to see if the owner was on the forum so I could get in touch with him. The first sighting was yesterday was at 9:00 pm at Antoine and Victory. The time I saw it today was at Around 11:00 am at Antoine and West Little York. I know he must live in my general area cause both locations that I saw the car are in walking distance of my house. I wish my camera was working and I would have taken a picture

That is all for now

Peace

No joke. I never see any FD's in my area. Sometimes I think I'm the only one around here, and mine doesn't even run right now!

Eveytime a drive my FD in SW Houston, there are reported sighting.

I thought I was the only one who hardly see 7's. The only real time I get to see them is at the monthly meeting. I see Supra's, 3000GT's, Ferrari's, Corvette's, Evo's and WRX's all the time compared to RX-7's.Since I got my RX-7 I have been seeing more of them on the road now . Maybe I just look for them a lot more that I have one or something I don't know, but has anyone else seen this white FD I speak of?

There's enough in grand prairie that it would just get old calling out the usuals since basically anyone in Grand Prairie with a 7 knows BDC and makes his place a "rotary hangout" from time to time.

Back in the 90s when FDs were uncommon, Porsche 924s and 944s were common.
I have not seen either for years.
There is a Subaru SVX in SW Houston that I see once in a while.

64'

I saw a 64 Impala two days ago on the way to work. I also so a Malibu SS and a 69 Camaro. I am not much of a piston lover but I do like to see a classic car every now and again.

Sounds like you saw Pat (he works at Maz-Max) up on West Little York. He is on the local forum @ www.houstonrx7club.com

Thanks for the meeting plug Chuck!

God how I love MSR Houston I haven't been for a couple months. That is pretty cool.

I have seen two black FD's in my area this past week. One was black and lowered, and the other was black as well but had the '99 spec front. I live in the Spring/Klein area.

Yeah it gets kinda slow in the late summer (too much heat), but once the fall weather gets here there are usually a ton of events.

Ferrari

I like the F50. I am 1/2 Italian so I always pick Ferrari when it comes to the Super cars. I know there are other Italian car company's but they are my favorite of the bunch.
