The surrounding scenery looks nice :)

Crikey - you are so lucky to have an environment like that!
I bet your drive was a hoot.

I have to say being a prev Jap head that I really like those cars. there is something about them that hasn't dated like the most Jap Super cars.

Oh and as Cem said, thats a superb area you live, id have no probs slipping out for a ten minute spin if all that was on my door step!

I agree with Ian. This particular rice burner has aged so well and has some fantastic lines......... Nice :)

As for the roads- having lived in Edinburgh and driven up the west coast of Scotland I can assure you the scenary is stunning.

Personally I think the best angle of the RX7 is from the rear !! ;) And i've been shown a clean pair of heels by a variety of RX7's over the years in various motors!! Good cars to mod too!

Thanks guys :)

It is running around 500bhp at the moment, so is fairly nippy ;) when I'm not running in fresh engines.

Unfortunately I do have a bit of a jaunt to get to that particular scenery - was driving for over 14 hours on Sunday (though I only really have half an hour of dross to go through to get to proper tarmac). Had a couple of sections that will stay with me forever :cool: it is good to be able to go out and enjoy driving every now and again. If anyone ever makes it up north of the border I can point you in the direction of some worth while roads.

Generation 3 RX-7 is one of my favs.

I've been in a few fast ones - especially one with a $100,000 conversion - and they are bloody rapid

Nice car
