Hello peeps, :wave
I\'m quite new to the forum, i\'ve been reading threads on here for the past few months. Thought it was about time i introduced myself to the forum, prob the best rotary forum on the net!
Sadly i\'m not a rotary owner (yet), tho admire you lot for the cars you drive. I\'m unable to justify the cost of ownership for rex as of the moment :(
I spotted a purple RX7 this morning, 3rd Gen - had a bodykit but not sure which. It left me drooling at the window this morning, sounded awesome. I was wondering if it was anyone here? Spotted you at Lakeside (Essex) I\'ve seen it before on the A13 also. Think i\'ve even driven past you on the QE2 bridge before now into Kent. Which is likely to be the ONLY time i\'ll ever overtake you (in slow moving traffic) :D
I\'m James BTW. :cool

scooby, i dont think the spoiler was that big... No bigger then what the local nova / RST boys are running anyway - lol (not saying much i know)
Did look stunning, one of the best examples i\'ve seen... Tho having said that its a rarity to see any RX7s on the roads these days.
Was kind\'a praying he\'d be local and invite me round for a viewing :D would love to see one up close in the flesh... Saw a few at Donnysouth last year but never got a chance to take a good look.

if it was OJ it would have had a halo ontop of the car !! :)
the spoiler looks like it should be on a supra Twin Turbo :)
have a look here and look for ARCHBISH\'s car

I hope that was meant in jest grinder :eek: i belong to a enthusiast club myself and always attend regular meets with fellow members... I dont think we have ever had a falling out. Tho understandably you will never get everone to agree on everything in such a large group of people, no matter what your interest. :(
Hope to see all you peeps at a meet soon :wave , do you guys have regular events to attend to out of interest? I know its more common down here in south london becuase its less remote then some of the people that live up north. Still would be good to check out some of your rotary\'s!

it was meant in jest yes - if you have a look around this forum - you will see what i mean ( check out the last page on the north west meet - thats a prime example !! )
there are monthly meets yes - i dont know about the london ones - have a look in the meets section - i think there is one around canary warf ( but dont quote me on that ! )
