Title: An ODE to the FD
Post by: clive on March 12, 2004, 10:51:54 PM
A Gen 2 MRC member on holiday last week in Thailand brought me a gift back in the shape of a T shirt with a picture of a third Gen on it and these words that l thought l would share with other 3rdGen owners -----






IN THE ANNALS OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF SHITTY CARS,
SOME DECENT CARS , AND A FEW DAMN NEAR PERFECT CARS,
WHILE A LOT OF JAPANESE IMPORT ENTHUSIASTS WILL GO STRAIGHT FOR THE SKYLINE GT-R WHEN TALK TURNS TO  "DAMN-NEAR PERFECT", THERE IS A SMALL NICHE OF IMPORT ENTHUSIASTS WHO WOULD WHOLEHEARTEDLY DISAGREE WITH THE SKYLINE DECISION IN FAVOUR OF ANOTHER JAPANESE PLATFORM AND THIS IS OF COURSE THE THIRD GEN RX-7,
ASIDE  FROM CRITICISM THAT THE CAR CAN BE A BIT TEMPERAMENTAL -  WHICH IT CAN BE.
THE ROTARY POWERED RX-7 MUST BE CONSIDERED NOTHING LESS THAN AN ENGINEERING MARVEL,
AND IT\'S FLOWING, LIQUID BODY-LINE , PARADOXICALLY SENSUAL AND AGGRESSIVE AT THE SAME TIME - UNDOUBTEDLY MARK IT AS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLATFORMS EVER CONCEIVED.

 




As an owner of a third Gen for some 6 years now l personally think the above description is great and well worth sharing.
