Well a guy pmed me, with 220k miles, so I think he needs the rebuild pretty badly. I guess it's already spoken for as of the moment.

I have 2 FBs, but they're too beat down to bring to a meet. I guess they look alright, but the body/paint on them isn't the best so I rarely bring 'em. I'm actually selling one of them though, got too many cars right now.

it is odd how few FBs show up to the meets, though. You would think there should be tons of them on the road, but maybe not.

I think that FC's make up the vast majority of the 7's that are on the road. Thankfully there are people like you and Aaron that bring out the old school toys like your RX-2 and RX-3. And Aaron with his Repu and Suzuki RE5. Things like that and the 20B sand rail were the highlights of the meet for me.

Most FBs are too messed up to drive to meets, Fds cost too much. Thus the FC Takes the majority :P

That's what I assumed, but the FBs are a little older so perhaps more have broke down and been given up on by their owners.. who knows.

and speaking of old school toys, I picked up my R-100 after the meet on Saturday. My pal was able to get it running after it had been sitting for who knows how many years. That thing is crazy, heh. Too bad it's a little rusty, but those all had rust issues for some reason. Not sure what I'm going to do with that beast.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the replies. Makes me kind of sad about the FB situation. They are my favorite 7! Looks like I'll have to make it to the next meet around Sac. My baby is in very nice condition and I would be proud to bring her to a meet!

Tammie,
What time did you come out? I was one of the last ones there and I only saw a very small handful of females there and most of them looked kind of bored You should try to make it out to Rotary Fest next month,it'll be at Treasure Island (there's a whole thread on it). I'm sure a few of the guys here would agree that we need more women that actually show an interest in rotaries at these meets

If I had the money I'd definitely get an FB and restore it. In my opinion, one of the best lookin' mid 80's cars out there. While on my search for a car I even considered it, getting an FB, but none of them were running. I wanted something I could drive home and have some fun it before i had to fix it. All the FB's I saw for sale were "fixer-uppers" - I'm more inclined to fix a car when I'm the one who broke it. It's true though, I only saw one FB on May 13th, I was surprised. I'd expected to see more. I'd love to get a closer up look at them.
