yeah ahhh i'd almost forgot how to double park but i think i still have the necessary skills & yes that's the bad boy i was keeping schtum about
Engine is 1.3 wankle rotary engine with twin turbos as is the RX7 third gen AKA FD standard BHP for that year is 265bhp to the rear wheels with no traction control, relatively standard other than induction & back box & it's currently over boosting a bit which i've gota sort b4 i can give it a large portion of death but with it's light weight, helishly low & stiff chassis & 0-60 in the 4's suffice to say it is rediculously quick & with no turbo lag but a totally different driving style to the scoob, definately focuses the mind on corners none of this foot to floor & dont worry malarky but untill i've learnt the limits with Don Palmer i'll keep trying it taking it easy & safe (with a touch of white knuckle death griplol), hopefully anyway.... & where possible it's still mondeo time in this nasty weather!

mmmmmmmmmmm RX7 mmmmmmmmmmmm
I like RX7's, very very nice cars. My uncle used to run one of the south east training schools for Mazda and they had a couple of RX7s there at one point, that they were 'playing' with, lovely cars, always wanted one.
