Hello!
 I\'ll introduce myself first, am Alex, from Scotland; Glasgow:Thumbs-up
Nice to meet yu all Mazda Rotary Club members.

I recently (Monday in fact) bought myself a 1994 Yellow RX7 from a dealer in Bury.

Will need to wait next week till MOT and Reg are all done.

Its pretty much standard, only bits that arent are the enkei wheels, exhaust and springs.

some photo\'s i took of the RX7

Toyo T1-R are good ;)

Looks like you have a Nice car there (the yellow looks well on Fd\'s).

If you want some advise take it easy for a Bit until you get used to the car, They do tend to catch out new owners in the Wet/Damp :)

I remember seeing your rx7 at the docks when I was picking up a few of my cars not so long ago.

I did have a quick look round it and it seemed nice.... dirty but nice.... black wheels go really well against the yellow!
