FC: Time to fight back?

[jinx]

There seem to be fewer and fewer FC\'s around. It is also shocking that even seemingly good cars are now much more valuable in bits so, in an attempt to make Rotary Revs something other than forum pages in print format, is it time the FC got some more of the limelight

Attached is a questionnaire to inform an article (or series of articles if loads of you reply) on the purchase, ownership, running, repair and restoration of FC RX7’s. Your answers, comments or expanded essays (if you prefer) will base it on real experiences. The article is scheduled for publication for summer\'s Rotary Revs. It would be nice to be able to pull together a full picture of FC purchase and owership and more than two replies would be a real boon. If that\'s all there are though - it will be a start!

Answer questions bullet point style if you prefer.  All respondents will receive a draft copy of the text to ensure their views are accurately represented. If anybody has some good, high resolution, pictures of FC\'s [need high res for the print version/cover of the newsletter] they would be welcome too.

No Pressure:
Please send your responses any time over the next few weeks to:
andrew@openumbrella.co.uk
Please include your forum ID in mails returning the questionnaire so any queries can be followed up by PM.
If you are commercially involved in the repair/restoration or preparation of FC’s, commercial contacts can be included at no cost.

If you have been...thanks for reading.

Hi Grant
I think the club only print enough RR for offline members - it is a bit pointless (ie: f for expensive) to do it for those of us with internet access who can download the e-version. Even though it is very few copies the print version sets the bar for picture resolution so the quality is as consistent as it can be. Many thanks for the high res pics.

I\'ll see what I can come up with as well - while I\'m not fiddling with mine in the same way that most other people in this thread fiddle with theirs, I\'m justing trying to make a nice one better and hopefully preserve it a bit longer.

No text received as yet. Any interest?

I must have missed this when you first requested FC owner info. I\'ll send you reply asap.
