So in the current January 2011 issue of CD, John Phillips' column discusses ten cars that most surprised the staff of CD over the years, good & bad. The 10th mention is the 1985 GSL-SE (and its a good endorsement). Its filled with poetry that would bring any rotorhead to tears as the final line attests:


"... on a cool night when the world oppresses the spirit, this Rx7 revives the soul."


Still brings chills to me when I read that line.


Jim

 

OF COURSE, you have an '85 lol

link to the full article? My friends father is a big car connoisseur, and has given me a few magazines, mainly to do with FB's. One with the GTU. I'm always happy to find RX7 articles

 

im going to have to buy this magazine!
that quote is perfect too

 

i like that, "revives the soul"

 

Seeing that the magazine is no longer on the stands I think it's safe to post it!

Glad everyone enjoyed it.



Jim

 

Glad I own 1!!!

is that actually your plate, or is it photo shopped?

and i actually just received that magazine a few days ago.

 

My actual plate.

 

'and if you don't know, now you know....'

cool plate man

 

That's awesome. Real nice GSL-SE, those and the 86 FC that came out when I was in grade 12 were cars I lusted after in high school.

 

CorgiSteve, that is a beautiful and tastefully modified GSL-SE. Any engine mods?

 

Thanks Jim
