A. what cal got was some prebottled health drink thing - there was something in there no doubt your system couldn't tolerat Cal
B. Super giganto coffee is $2, still a little pricey for overly acidic under roasted coffee but I'm not there for the coffee, and it is marginally better than Folgers .....usually.

Hey Guys-

The wifey and I are getting ready to move, and I have a pair of 10AE seats in the usual condition- ripped on the drivers side, passenger side has no rips but pretty worn. Anybody interested? Willing to trade for whatever. Not looking for much- parts, tools, beer, etc. PM me with me an offer.

I do not have any pics, as the seats are boxed up right now.

Thought I would hit up the local crew first.

It's pretty funny that the only RX-7 owner that had the stones to show up at Langley Sunday wasn't even rotary powered anymore - you guys can't let that happen!

Here are some pics from Sunday:

And information about the next event, on April 22nd:

Someone needs to come on down and show Robin that RX-7 ownership is all about lacking torque....and money.....and time to compete because of constant rebuilds

Proof..

Sunday was a lot of fun, a few growing pains, especially on my part, to be expected though. I am looking forward to the next event, especially VMP on the 8th of April.

I put a new rad in the Miata this afternoon with a little help from the kid, it took maybe an hour to do.
Why can't 7's be that easy?

actually Robin can use any color handle, rattle-rattle-spray and flatblack color match
you should use the spray-on chalkboard paint and then we could write on your car and draw dirty pictures n'stuff

We could do it as it sits, I could just paint over it whenever we want a new canvas..!

I would think chalk would wash off your flat black??

That would be so much fun between heats at the Auto-x write you times on your door. WE can draw flames and such Tomfoolery as "Not a TRUE RX-7" on the side.....or....."Wankel Who???"

haha Robin you're getting owned, come on man!

Count me in for a handle too! During the installation of the new-used one I bought, that one broke too. Damn door handles.
