Afternoon all, I\'m pretty new to posting here, but i\'ve been lurking for some time....
I\'m happy to say i\'ve just purchased my first RX-7, and its fan-bloody-tastic.
The regular forummers will probably know the car, i bought it from Ric Makepeace on friday.
I\'ve done about 100 miles in it since friday, and i\'m loving it more and more with every mile.
I look forward to meeting some of you guys at the regular meets.
Tim

Nice car Tim, welcome to FD ownership! The joys of extortionate fuel and insurance bills and grins bigger than most of Si\'s smileys!
You\'ve got a real nice car there, I saw it when Ric took it to a few meets last year. Good to know it\'s still in the scene for this year.

Cheers again all, it was great to meet up with fellow members last night and exchange anecdotes!
Ordered my front 12x3" plate today, should make the front look a bit tidier.
Got some jobs this weekend though - need to change the front left foglight bulb (apparently a nightmare with the A-spec bumper), and fit my new Infinity rear speakers, which should take me quite some time!
Can\'t wait to have nice tunes.....

I ordered the plate from A-Plates here:
http://www.aplates.co.uk/
It was about £2o delivered. The quality isn\'t fantastic, i had to do a little bit of finishing around the edges with a file and some wet & dry paper, but it does the job.
I\'ll post up a picture of how it looks this weekend.
