New from the Netherlands

Hi guys,

I'm new here. I'm from the Netherlands, Europe.
I drive two RX-7's. A 1991 FC Turbo 2 convertible and a 1981 FB SDX.
The convertible is in great condition, however the FB needs a little love and attention.

I like this site. Have been on the mazdarotaryclub as well. I'm also a member of the Dutch RX-7 club.

Kind regards,
Jan Kees.

Hi all,

It's been a while since I was around here.

The FC convertible is still in my garage. De 1981 FB is sold and I have a 1983 FB which I'm restoring at this moment.

Since about a week I've bought a 1992 FD3S from Japan. In fact this is an Efini. Looking great with 99 spec looks and colored in Innocent Blue.

Will share some pics guys!

That's nice!
I guess You have no kinds of homesick being in the US in stead of Holland.
About seven years ago I was three weeks on holiday in the US. Great country, I would go back immediately if I had the chance.

Thanks turbo... some states in america are less cool.. but as a whole we are fairly great i guess youd say... i know we are lenient on car modification in virginia...no smog and so on... i think its france where street modification is a big no no.. thats what i gathered from a speedhunters post. I am yet to travel abroad and cant wait for the chance. Alot of history and culture outside our little side of the earth. Well i figure thats a good 10th post lol

I was in Colorado, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming. Awesome nature and very nice and helpful people. Like to go there again..



This is the first gen that I'm restoring. It had severe front and roof damage. I've replaced the complete roof and restored the whole car. Right now I'm busy with the interior.



The convertible was professionally polished about a month ago. Shiny!!



This is the FD that I've bought two weeks ago.
