Yep the guy in the merc was a weird one. I seem to overtake him quite a few times. Didn\'t have any issues at all with the 1st gen :Giggle Apart from finding a LPG station ! First time going into a petrol station and asking if they have lpg and the guy behind the counter asking what lpg is is !!!!

My temp needle only went above half for the first time and that was yesterday. It was still hot on the way home so its not surprising temps were high. Dont forget the more you push the engine the higher the temps are going to be unless you got some serious cooling power and fans that can move a mountain. Even if you suspect higher temps it might not always be the case unless you have a standalone gauge and sensor.
But other than that it was nice to share the day with some shandy drinking Northerners!! lol

Hi,
Just a quick thread to say a big thank you to the guys who all came to the show on Saturday.
As it was my first show and outing with the RX I was made very welcome and enjoyed talking about RX\'s.

I went again today as I only live 40 minutes from the show ground, the only RX7\'s were myself and the red Gen 2 with the graphics.
Still a good day out and lots of sun (for a change).

Thanks again guys and I look forward to seeing you at Santa Pod in August.
