I bought my 03-1992 built R1 in June 1992 and it was a dayly driver until June 2002. I restored it in 2003 and went single turbo in 2005. A visit to RP in Dallas.

I see a few people on here have owned their cars longer than i have, but even if you only had it for a week, it will always give you the same adrenaline every time you drive it! every time im behind the wheel i feel like i just bought it and sometimes i cant believe it is mine.

Bought my first one in '02 then bought the second in '03 went through 2 engines, on the second car, tore the soul out of it (AKA Exercised the rotary demon), lost it for 1 year while the swap was underway, and have gotten it back recenty, and love it now more than ever...
