My name is Denny, I\'m 31 and I live in south London, near Wimbledon.  I fit into a number of handy stereotypes, including but not limited to: biker, raver, goth, metaller, and probably boy racer too  :)   My car is a UK model RX-7, details and photos can be found from the link in my .sig I work for a small web development company with some big clients.  Most of my spare time is spent online, chatting to friends, playing an online game I\'m quite involved with, and running my own websites.  I also like to play with various \'circus\' toys, mostly juggling and poi - particularly fire-poi, which is lots of fun... Hopefully I\'ll get to meet some of you at meet-ups and other events over the summer  :)

My Names Paul Yates , I\'m 29 , origionally from Rochdale but now living in Sheffield , I\'m married to Sarah and have a 13 month old son Milan

I work as an Electrician which I have been doing for about 11 years now

My main loves in life are my son who is absolute superstar ( at least when he\'s not driving me mad ) . My car , I used to dream of having a sportscar and after years of saving and putting up with mediocor cars I finally got what I wanted . My mates , these days its very rare for us all to be out on the same night , but when we are we have a riot . Both me and my wife are massive Liverpool fans , we even got married at Anfield and had the reception in the trophey room  :D  . I love doing my own work on my car , I\'d love to be a mechanic but I think I\'m a bit long in the tooth for re-training now . I have quite a wide varied taste in music but mainly I like Dance , particularly funky house

Theres not alot that I really hate but I can\'t stand two faced people , obviously being a Liverpool fan I hate Man U , and thieving scumbags

This is a piccy of me and the missis on our wedding day , press corner in the Anfield tunnel  :D  :D  :D

Hi all,

Well I\'m Jessica Haynsford (I’m not going to state the obvious). I was born and raised in Kent and moved to Newcastle 4 years ago, no I’m not a student! I’m a bit of a mixture with Greek and Italian blood in me, great for a sun tan!!  

My interests are Fast cars, motor racing etc I was literally Born with fast cars in my blood, (has anyone noticed yet?) I was bought up around cars and out of three girls I was the tom boy, playing with engines instead of dolls. As a child I spent my weekends going to race meetings and watching my dad compete, I could change a wheel on a National Hot Rod when I was 5! I’m also have a big interest in all kinds of music, I studied at school, but have down nowt with it since!

Ive been officially single for nearly 4 years, well there’s been no one serious in 4 years!! I don’t have any kids yet. I work in a great Rock Pub which I really enjoy, working towards getting my own one soon. I also work an office job which is fun to! My biggest ambition is to pass my driving test this yr!! (Hence the two jobs!) I don’t hate anyone, lifes to short although I dislike a few people. The only thing that really annoys me are Chavs as I get a lot of hassle from the Burberry brigade at work.

Hi Glenn / Donato

still can\'t post a pick in this section , posting rules says I may not post attatchments and I may not post new threads

Its only in this section though

Cheers fellas

Email me the pic and i will post it, i dont know why people can tput it up themselves, im what you might call a useless moderator.... :)

Nah not that usless.......... :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  LOL

Hi for those members who do not know me or have not met me at Club events, I am Lisa the Club Secretary.

I met Clive (President of MRC) 13 years ago and had absolutely no interest in cars, unlike Clive!  We first got into the "Rotary Scene" when Clive bought his 2nd Gen RX-7 and attended a car show at Ascot racecourse where we met up with the RX-7 Owners club.  After 3 years of being members, it was decided in order to make more people aware of the Rotary engines we would form a new club to cater for all types of Rotary engines not just the RX-7\'s, hence the rest is history!!

As Clive was heading up his new Club it was only natural for me to assist him and Glenn with the running of the club.  

For my sins and in my spare time, I look after all the day to day admin, ie manage the memberships, send out new membership packs, prepare the quarterly newsletters and organise and attend club events together with looking after the banking of club funds and membership fees.  

I am 50 years old, divorced and have a daughter of 24 who lives in Reading.
I work for a mortgage lender based in the Docklands in London.  I have worked in the financial industry for the last 20 years.

I briefly owned a rare black RX-7 carbiolet before having to sell it for financial reasons.  I am now the owner of a rare classic RX-4, which hopefully will be on show at JAE.

 :wave Please come and say hello and introduce yourself to me at Club events.

What a good idea...

I am Zack Evans (note spelling!)

I live with a slightly unhinged woman from SA in a house in the moors between Bolton and Darwen (Now that does sound odd when you put it like that :D )

I work for a small consultancy company with some very large clients - I\'m a solutions architect with a specialism in IBM infrastructure and data warehouse / analytics environments.

I bought the Rex because I regretted not buying a 7 when I got into the whole Jap metal thing (had several 300ZXs beforehand). I wanted a new car for the novelty of going more than 1000 miles without something blowing up...

I\'ve been on quite a few track days now and had a bit of instruction, and I do a lot of committed B-road driving to keep my hand in ;)

(No, I don\'t wish I had a car with turbos)

Other interests... erm... everything? (My biggest character flaw!)

Hey people I\'m Rayne (pronounced Rain) I\'m 21 in september and have been the proud owner of a series 1 RX7 since january this year. After giving the keys to my friend 2hrs after picking it up, I needed a new engine. So I now have 2. I don\'t have any children but my little brother\'s are more than enough for the moment. I\'ve only really just started learning all the technicalities of the rotary engine, so I\'ve got heaps of stuff to pick all the more knowledgable members brains with. I live in Kent and love fast cars. My 1st being An MG Montego with turbo conversion (at 17, a very bad idea... new clutch and cable, driveshafts, CV\'s, steering rack... scrap yard!) I decided on the RX7 when i went to essex 1 day and was determined to come back with a classic, rare sports car. I ended up parting with £150 for the Mazda and love it to bits. small overfuelling problem to overcome before the MOT then it\'ll be on the road.
Unfortunately I have no pictures to post right now but they will be on shortly
Rayne

sorry. that should say "pronounced rain"

What can I tell you, I have owned mine for 41/2 years, been a member of this club from the beginning we have covered over 50,000 miles in it and it has never put a foot wrong [apart from shredding 2 fan belts :confused: ] Now have 2 engines, the original [due for a re-fresh] and me 496bhp RE beastie. From the outset I said I was keeping it stock..............what went wrong :eek
I work in the building services industry have done all my life, Polly is an endoscopy nurse [dont ask!] we have a rescued Greyhound and 3 cats.
We enjoy touring, done a bit of camping, car meets, track days, loud music of all sorts [not lincoln park though!], dancing and good food / wine, a bit of a cook, normally seen hunched over me BBQ at  meets.
Dislikes:[in no particular order]

Hi!

Brett Williams
DOB: 20/01/1981
I\'m pleased to say I\'ve done quite a lot with my life so far, most of it has been work and education related but its nearly all been great fun :D
Left school at 16 and started my Apprenticeship as a precision engineer, manufacture parts for most of the F1 teams, got to spend a lot of time hanging around the circuits and the people, it was a great laugh. In 2000 I had a falling out with my boss over pay and conditions, and as a result very nearly turned my back on engineering altogether.  So, in order to be able to carry on at college I needed a flexible job, and along came the Games workshop. I spent 2 years playing with toy soldiers and getting hammered on the company :D  
  My hobbies include Table top war games, swimming, Live Role Play/battle and of course buying old sheddy Rx7\'s and getting them back on the road.
 Pic was taken last year (only one I can find on the PC atm) at a LRP event, so it should give everybody a laugh :)

Well here goes.
Real Name is Brian Stevens and I was born in Wellington, New Zealand. I have had that name all my life since 1968.
I was quite transient in my early years and went through jobs like they were toilet paper.
That was untill I discovered Tunnel Digging and explosives.
Four 5 years I blew stuff up. Excellent.
During this time I met my wife ( julia ) while she was travelling around New Zealand.
She told me she owned a house here so I thought she will do.
That was 9 years ago. I would have been out if it was assault.
I now build mobile phone ariels to polute the landscape
We have a two year old daughter called Hannah and she loves daddies rally car.
Also a 3 year old racing whippet. He like chasing things and trying to shag my arm.
When I got into motorsport many moons ago much to the dismay of my parents I hated wizz bag rotary engins but over the years I have learnt that if you cant beat them join them.
The first Rx was purchsed of a guy from NZ who was living over here.
Unfortunatly that car has now gone to the scrapyard in the sky.
The rust particals finaly gave up holding hands and it basicly fell apart.
The new one has been described elsewhere.
Pet hates are middle laners. Boys who cant hold their booze. And little tossers who think that now they have a drivers licence they are indestructable. You know the ones. We peel them up off the highway.

Hi guys,

I thought I better take the plunge and make my first post â€" so here is as good a place to start as any!   :D

My name is Ann, I’m 36 years old, single, no kids and I live in Baldock, Hertfordshire â€" god I sound like I’m writing a lonely hearts advert. lol  I work in the City as a Compliance Officer for a bank (honestly it’s not as boring as it sounds!)

I’ve been a Mazda owner for over 10 years and in March 2005 I took delivery of my Strato RX-8. I absolutely love it and I have been a very active member of the RX-8 Owners Club organising several meets â€" check out my website for loads of photos: //www.annhowlett.com

I also regularly attend the monthly Dartford meets and have chatted with Clive. I joined the MRC a couple of months ago and as I’m going to the Christmas dinner next weekend I thought I better introduce myself â€" please say hello if you see me.

I love getting out and about in my car and meeting fellow enthusiasts â€" I look forward to going to lots of events in 2006 (and I’m sure I’ll be organising a few  :chat  ).

Ann.

My real name is Tim, but you know me as Don Pamponi.

I\'m married to Michelle, I live in Royal Tunbridge Wells (love that Royal bit), I run my own home improvements business.

I like: collecting vinyl, martial arts, fast things & things that go bang.  Oh & getting wasted at festivals & eating big pies. Not necessarily in that order. :guinness

I don\'t like: (well this could go on all day.....)
Well mainly just manufactured pop & everything to do with the X factor type of souless \'everyone must love me \'cos i\'m despareatly sad\' talent show b*llsh*t.
oh, gangs of chavs aren\'t that pleasent & neither is eating fish.

Hi people,

Hi all

My names Adrian Bills (Ade), i`m 28, single yet have a beutiful 7 year old daughter called Lauren whom I have brought up since she was 6 months old, i`m a self employed gas engineer (not a rogue trader!!) Fell in love with RX7`s over ten years ago but only now am I nearlly an owner of one.

I love: fast cars, fast bikes, most foods, most drinks, dvd`s, suround sound, money, my tools, the smell of a thrashed engine, nice people and of course my ickle girl.

I hate: the price of petrol, the goverment, public transport, people who can`t drive properly and lottery winners that say "it won`t change me!!"

Ambitions: Have no regrets, go abroad, buy a rex, keep my business afloat, secure Laurens future, finish my house, not to crash me latest bike, keep on smilin, take over the world and generally stay happy.

Will hopefully own an fd3s within the next month or so, can`t wait, will sort a pic out asap you lucky, lucky people!!

I\'m Stu, I\'m 27, from Leeds originally but now living in Earlsfield, which is near Wimbledon/Clapham.

Wife and kids? I\'m not even grown up enough to look after a cat

I\'m a Police Officer (booooooooooo!) in Lambeth. Which is... eventful. And no, I don\'t *do* speeding tickets :D

My ambitions are all boring job-related ones.

Like my job, my FD, taekwondo and snowboarding - both of which I\'ve had to sadly give up for now due to my propensity to keep breaking myself - Southampton FC, Japanese food, sleeping (which I don\'t do nearly enough of at the moment).

Dislike London Underground, reality TV, people who drive without insurance or when drunk, most people who live in London - take a day off from being an arsehole eh? - my bank balance after I\'ve bought the latest totally unnecessary thing for my car, idiots who think I\'m there to be their social worker/taxi driver/doctor/directory enquiries/signpost/etc.

No pics I\'m afraid, only one I\'ve got is from passing out parade and we all look the same with the uniform on anyway :)

Well, wat ta say? Name\'s Stuart Wilson, live in Whitstable nice small quite town (until i turn the FD on, haha) lived here all my life, yer i know that\'s no fun. Not married yet, but sure the Gfriend (Sarah) has other plans! no kid\'s though. Work for LloydsTSB as account manager, enjoy the job usual up\'s and down\'s though.

Love my FD and anything rotary, had my FD for 2years now. Wouldn\'t swap it for anything in the world, can\'t stand it when people start slagging rotary off just coz of the few problems they can have and i have had some haha. Love the look on Porsche owners face as ya over take them.

Always up for fun and enjoy a good holiday (don\'t we all!)

If your ever going to be in the area, just send me an e-mail and were have to meet up for a drink & chat. (stuart_wilson1@yahoo.co.uk)

Catch you all later and shall see you all at RS3.

Live in Reading, Berks with my wife, Mel (who disapproves of my rotary fascination! - but that\'s life!)

Had my FC for 3 years although a large portion of that time it has been at RX Motors! Love it when its running, hate the 9-12mpg! It\'s an ongoing project and I suspect will be for some years to come. I\'ve loved the RX7 since my dad had a gen1 mk1 back in 1980 (first car I ever drove - well steered, i couldn\'t reach the pedals!)

I\'m a recruitment consultant (yes I know, but some of us are nice!), don\'t know why! Just trying to get my import parts supply business off the ground and then I can work with cars during the day as well!

Wow that isn\'t a lot for 32 years of life is it? Ho hum, I\'ll see if I can dig out a photo of my ugly mug and post it later.

Thank you.

It's not a rotary collection, it's mainly American classics. Finally got my finger out to get a RX-7 after thinking about it for years, got an 1999 RB arriving in a couple of weeks but got my eye out for an RS...

Hi Everyone!

Job: Standard bank wanker!
Likes: Cars, Music and Gaming

I have owned my FD3s for about 4 years now but due to the MOT test in the Isle of Man it was a pain to pass it due to funds and time :( But its now all registered and running. I've registered to gain some knowledge from you folks and hopefully get some assistance with any issues that I run into!

 :welcome: Matt, let's see some pics  ;)

Here's some pics! Sorry forgot to add them!

Hi All,

I'm Keith, I've owned a rotary car since 2005, when I bought a Velocity Red 231PS RX8. I'm old enough to remember the NSU R80, got married when Paul Hardcastle was number one in the UK, started work when the Porsche 911SC went from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, spent far too long as a banker, then in 2007 became an Independent Financial Adviser. Married, two sons one daughter, one grandson and a granddaughter, have loved anything to do with speed and power (I have every copy ever printed) since I was tiny and because my dad and uncle were engineers I am fascinated by how things work. Hobbies remarkably include football, golf, fishing, motorsport, and family in any order.
Today I got my ongoing project, an aptly named RX8 Evolve, MOT'd, sadly too late to get to Castle Coombe but hopefully I will get to meet some of you at other events. I have a 53 plate Titanium Grey 231PS which is street-ported and has some appropriate upgrades, the Evolve has had an REW heart transplant to carry around a big turbo, and I have a 20B which I am saving for another day.
Below you can see me, the cars, and the 20B.
Thanks for taking the time to read!

Welcome.....................I am old enough to have owned 2 x NSU Ro 80s!!  :great:

Yey! I joined this club as the RX8-OC seems to have plenty of younger lads who are great but don’t really understand that old school is not an educational facility built in the 1980’s!
Rotary Norton owned by a pal of my brother and usually does the IoM from the Midlands every year.
Thanks for the welcome, you clearly have some taste in cars and bikes!

Hope your well  and  :welcome: to MRC  Keith, also thank you for becoming a full club member to support the club straight away.



   

Thanks Clive,
It’s long overdue but I have been so busy with work I’ve decided it’s time to plan to do some meetings and try to ‘finish’ at least one car and enjoy driving it.....(I know, they are always a work in progress) 😂😂😂

Its great to see some new members joining up...get some build threads going and piccys guys.

Keith, not sure you may know but if you follow this link you will see we are organising with Mazda HQ a Rotary Day on the 7th of the 7th.

This is very much a one off as its the anniversary of the RX-7 and I cant see this ever happening again. If your interested,  more details can be found on this link http://mazdarotaryclub.com/forum/index.php?topic=84631.msg904761#msg904761

 

Welcome to the the Club, but i think i take the Title of Old Timer, of the Old Timers now!  ;)

Thanks for the link Clive, I would dearly love to go to the 7/7 event but I won’t be able to as we have another commitment I can’t swerve!

Hi, I am Stephen, just turned  87 and have a problem,  I have a 1980 Mazda that I was trying to list back in the 1990s while it was a Running car with 501 HP Car tech Turbo, done by Lee Hurley Automotive in Birmingham Al.  It has only 40,000 original miles on it and now 20+ years later it still has the same mileage on it since it has been stored inside and not driven since then.  It has everything done to it to make it a very fast car but I have not started it since the 1990s.  This car needs a new owner so I would like to sell it.  I am now a newbie since I let my membership expire.  I am back on now to figure how to list it for sale and need help.  Any Offers?   Mazda by default

Hi welcome back is it a rotary?
What model?
Where here to help as best we can.

Hi all,

My name Jadetrost, 56 and from a small town near Buffalo, the United States.

I\'ve been into opels all my life, however I wanted to own a rx-8 at some point, so I am looking around, and reading into them.

Good plan! Get ine now while they're reasonably cheap and plentiful. Take your time and pick the best one. Good luck!  :great:

Beautiful city, Montreal. Hope to see some pics of your FD3S and 8 on the forum!  :great:

PS. s that 12A a single or twin distibutor engine?

:welcome: Drew. Would love to see some pictures of your rotaries.

Those 12A parts will be of use to someone. Post up a topic with photos and more details. I'd be interested, but shipping to the UK would probably rule it out  :(

  :welcome:  Drew

Do you have any pictures for us of your Rotary Collection
