Afternoon all,

My name is Jason, 25, from Wellington, NZ originally but i now live it North East Scotland - Aberdeen.

Used to own a white 3 door corolla wagon with a 13BPT in it before i moved to the UK. If anyone on this forum is in wellington i would love to know if it is still about!

Currently have a corolla t-sport and an MX5 but looking to get back into a rotary over the next couple of years.

Love the old RX3\'s and 4\'s so thats what i plan on buying when i find the right one. In the meantime i will be doing a lot of reading over the projects on here and keeping an eye on the for sale thread.Speak to you all soon.
:WaveBye

Jason.

Welcome! Would be nice to see an RX3/4 going about Aberdeen, as far as I know there aren\'t any. There are a few guys on here from Aberdeen. I\'m new to rotaries myself bought an FD in December and playing the waiting game until the weather decides to calm down a bit and all the grit gets washed away.

Cheers for the welcomes guys.

Hey CLive, not sure if i could do a project from scratch, don\'t have nearly enough patience for that so i would like something that is already done. I guess a lot of the ones that turn up for sale are imports too are they?

Ah nice one Carl, how long did you live in Dunners? Havent spent much time there excpet for visiting mates at Uni.

Metalorama, I\'ve never seen one in Aberdeen. Seen a few RX7\'s in Aberdeen though, hope the weatehr does improve so you can get some fun in the sun. Thats what i\'m holding out for with the mx5 too.

We had lots of RX-3\'s sold here through Mazda dealers, more than RX-2\'s or RX-4\'s so you sould have a chance of getting one thats up n running, or near to it if your patient

Was in Dunedin for 10 years mate. All my family are still there!

Hey Ray, that is a lovely car. Sadly my funds don\'t allow me to buy anything just yet.

Realistically i will be looking at buying summer next year but if by any chance you still have it at that time, i might come knocking at your door.
Cheers.
