Newbie RX-7 owner :)

It\'s been a long wait but I\'ve finally picked up my new car!  Caught a train down to Surrey, then drove the Rex home in heavy rain... bit of a handful (well, I\'ll be honest, it was a bloody nightmare trying to tame my right foot! ) but I got her home in one piece!  Spun the rear wheels regularly, but just about managed to control myself!  It\'s fookin\' scary fast, gotta be honest!  When it\'s wet, as soon as the second turbo kicks in, the back end wants to overtake the front, no matter what gear it\'s in!  It\'s a \'97 RS-R.

Phil, if you\'re reading this, I absolutely love the car mate, couldn\'t be happier It scares the s**t out of me every time I get in it

Anyway, some pics.

\'\'It scares the s**t out of me every time I get in it \'\'

Nothing wrong with your comment as this will keep your attention and you pointing the right way !, people forget these cars even in stock trim are a handfull in the wet :cool

You have fun out there:)

Thanks for the welcome!  I bought the car from a guy called Phil Evans:

Car is a totally stock RS-R, and is staying that way!  It\'s fast enough as it is to be honest!  Still can\'t get my head around just how fantastic these cars are!
