Hi,

Just thought I would see if I was welcome here!  I own a NSU Ro80 with a NSU rotary engine...yes this is a miracle.

Anyway, as far as I know the few Ro80/NSU clubs in the UK don\'t even have email not to mention a website so I thought I would register with you lovely folk to see if there was any interest in the Ro here?

I have got a website under construction for my motor but I don\'t know if it is OK to type a link in or not?

Well, thanks for reading this.  If I\'m intruding \'I\'ll get me coat as they say\'.

Best regards,
R

Hi,
    no, not intruding at all. You are very welcome in here and at any of our meetings

i don\'t think you are alone either, we have at least on RO80 owner on here already.

Welcome !

P.S no worries about the link, get it posted up :yes

Welcome on board mate, its rotary powered thats the only thing you need if you have a look there\'s a good mix of different motors on the forum.

Thank you very, very much.  

It\'s nice to feel wanted...believe me you only usually have to mention the words Ro80 & it\'s, \'that was the car which broke down all the time haha!\'

Mine has just been refurbished this year.  I\'m so addicted I\'m constructing a website & as Mike says OK to a link here it is:

//www.ro80rotormotor.co.uk

There\'s lots more pics there & I have yet to finish a good number of pages.  Hope you see something you like & thanks again.

Best regards,

top website ! looks like its going to be good.

I hope you bring your motor to a few events so we can see it in the flesh The "main event" is Rotorstock III next year but there are plenty of other events all through the year for the rotary enthusiast

Here is a photo of our other RO80 (can\'t think of the owners name, I think its Phil Blake ... cosmoman on here I think!?)

looks awesome. from your site it looks like the restoration was pretty extensive!

[Martiny]

OK!  Awesome. You\'re very welcome, and there might not have been Mazda rotary had it not been for NSU?

Look forward to seeing this car one day.

Just looked at the restoration pictures, - - - -there is hope for my RX-2 !!!!!

[ro80rotormotor]

Mike,  I know of Phil very well indeed & have touched the car in your pictures!  Infact he has offered advice & help ever since I bought my own Ro.  Just this year alone with all the resto going on I have picked up some parts from him.

He certainly is the man to know if you own a Ro.  

I will keep an eye on your events too.  By the way I am more than happy to put a link to your site on mine if you want me to?

Fro, yes the resto ended up far more extensive than expected & boy did I miss my car for the duration.....it was miles away & abroad on the Isle Of Wight!

I will keep updating my site from now on with more pics & info.

Best regards,
R

What ever happened to the RO\'s that Simon Kremer had, was reputed to have more than any other in the UK, until his unfortunate death.

[ro80rotormotor]

My car went to RotTechniks for servicing a couple of times.  I met Simon & on my last visit he was in the process of rebuilding a Ro to a very high spec including electric windows, walnut dash etc..

As I understand, the remaining team there don\'t have any interest in the 80 & have run down that side of things.  I called them earlier in the year about some parts as they have a large stock but they never came back to me & others have had similar experiences.

I don\'t know what happened to the Ros but Phil Blake has about 10 or more at the last count.  Some runners, some not.  If I had the space I could well be in competition with him!

Attached is a shot of my lovely little Mazda 323 GTi I once owned.  Not a rotary but another example of Mazda quality.

Best regards,
R

nice, they a very strong cars, I road rally a 323 gti and the amount of abuse it stands is unreal. The latest rally I completed with two bent con rods after hydraulic locking the engine in a ford. It didn\'t miss a beat all the way to the end of the even AND drove home even with the severe engine damage ! top motors

Hi Mike,

The little 323 always felt very solid though I have to say that mine ended up victim to rust on the chassis.  A shame because the body was good & inside was excellent.

It went for scrap value.

Anyway, thanks for all your responses to my first post here.  Happy motoring!

Best regards,
R
