Rotary! Rotary, Rotary!!!!!

They had a single rotor I believe

[grinder]

a single one - crickey and its a 1,599 cc car !

[sadgoth]

might be wrong on that, the pic looks like a twin rotor

[FD3SNuttah]

looks like a twin rotor to me! the blue one is in chorley grinder! defo think its worth you buying and then renting a garage!!

[grinder]

if it had of been a LOT cheaper - i could have been tempted

shame it wasnt a 99p start

might keep an eye on it - and see if it sells or not

and we are trying to move house - so another car maybe isnt the best idea

[grinder]

£500 and no bids - scary

im tempted to mail him just to go and have a look at it

[grinder]

just mailed him to see if i can have a nosey - never seen one in the flesh - so it would be nice

who knows - might get a cheap car out of it

Stu

did you get anywhere with this stu? i have many ro80\'s and can sing their praises till the cows come home. you\'ll not find another car of that era that you can drive all day at 110mph + (where legal of course ) in complete safety and stability with four pot calipers, discs all round, power assisted rack & pinion steering and independent suspension. the engine is smoother than the mazda units and becomes nothing more than a wine at high speed. they have a twin rotor 995cc unit. i can help anyone with parts or technical advise that may be considering a ro80. £500 seems like a good deal to me, especially if it\'s on your doorstep.

[grinder]

i think he still has it - not been intouch with him for a while

thing is - do i need another project ?
