Where do I sign?

P port with sliding trumpets? Just wow.

I love seeing things like that move, reminds of my youth with mechano or technik Lego when you'd build a car and ya see all the bits moving as you push it along.

Need to sell a kidney I think on eBay.

Got to be one of the best saves I have seen

Some know this already but this video shows how dominant RX-7 FB's were in the 80's.
I was privileged enough to watch these cars at Brands on open un-silenced exhausts, a sound that still lives with me

A little more info on the impact the FB made on what is now the BRSCC,

You will hear that they were deemed as 2300cc and why the engines were not allowed as 1152cc.

Due to the dominance of these cars, they were effectively banned for 1981 as a ruling was brought in to say the manufacturer  must have a four door equivalent  available of the two door car they would be racing.   

This got rid of the RX-7 overnight !

Lastly as a foot note, as we all know the UK/European  RX-7 FB was powered by a 12A "however" they were actually running 13B engines (which came out in 1974)
They  were just faked up as 12A's 

Below is a picture I took at Brands when one of the cars came up for auction when the TWR empire collapsed.

LOL nice story at the end from Win

Yep, what a story at the end    Can you imagine returning to your car in the car park and finding most of it missing

Years ago I was racing a Vauxhall Chevette with an english axle under the back at Lydden Hill and broke a half shaft in practice .

A mate who drove down to watch the racing let me strip his Escort road car for the day to get me out there racing, unlike the RX-7 at least he knew I was borrowing it for the day
