[A7RXY]

Ian, I do like your new Avatar, is that your actural car ?

[David Nock (RIP)]

He\'s computer grafficked one of my wheels on his new car more like.    :rollin

[A7RXY]

I think its one of those arteeeeeeeeee Mazda black and white photo\'s from the 80\'s

[David Nock (RIP)]

Not that it matters, but it was my idea. :King
 
If the car is still save-able whole, I will shortly have a super sweet 60k mile engine and gearbox complete that would slot straught in if anyone wants to purchase both? I would be happy to make the price agreeable for the lot if this was used to save a poor FB in need...

I salute your idea my friend Ramo. But surely the new Gullwing Merc is the result of Gottlieb Diamler\'s original idea 51 pages later?   :3gears-rh
A thinks thas bin standin\' on t\'shoulders of t\'giants.....  Joking buddy, good call.   :Typing

[David Nock (RIP)]

Dave, have you got this one?

That\'s an Oddity Ian. DVLA says Exported in 1988, where did you find it?

[David Nock (RIP)]

B150 RBA
Black S3, has been out of commission for the last couple of years but is in the garage failing an MOT as we speak. Should be floating all over the road in a week or so. Can\'t wait.

Welcome, Welcome.....to the most active and lively forum on MRC. 1st Gens are the winners of the \'What Rotary\' Poll.....take a look.

And thanks for the car details.

Any info just ask us or please just give to us....no flaming on here...happy bunch of guys.

But we might pull your leg and say \'That\'s a real man\'s aerial on that car\'.   :Giggle

I think it\'s a doctored pic then. Unless I can\'t read straight.
(DVLA says that Reg was a Blue car with a 2000cc motor, exported around 1988).

So I think I\'ll drop the Reg from the list. It\'s maybe been produced by Parkers as a Marketing Pic?

I\'ve tried to bag the Poll winners slot by voting en-block for everyone who\'s a 1st Gen owner and who posts on here. (Members and Guests I assume).

Lisa says I can\'t do that .....I\'m crushed....I\'ve just got a strong winning streak I guess.

So do you feel like voting Guys?

So do you feel like voting Guys?

Already have, in fact, I was one of the first to vote.
I actually tried to vote twice seeing as I own 2 first gens but it wouldn\'t have that.

Also, it\'s only for paid up members so forum guests don\'t get to vote.

It would be interesting to put a poll on the 1st gen forum listing series 1, 2 & 3 to see how many of each series we have...  open to members and guests. We could see if they tie in with your list Dave.
We could even split it btw road car, sorned, projects and race cars.
Just a thought...

[A7RXY]

OK where and how do we vote ?
