God bless, that RX-7 would give me a headache to ride in or drive.

As for how long it will last, a month is nothing. We had a thread go on for over a year on the Racing forum.

Yes - as you can see from the number plate, the RS200 shot is taken at the Acropolis rally. I think I have seen other shots from the same corner. It is effectively an acute right (when taken in the direction shown) from something resembling a goat trail to a tarmac road. There is a significant change in elevation to get to the main road - hence the odd articulation of the suspension.

Well how about..... a little rice from Nissan?

George, maybe the first time YOU saw it was Brian's website, but here are a few links to newsgroup archives that show the terms in use before 1998.

The movies are very nice. But, there's still nothing like the instant gratification of a good photograph.

No need for graphic flames when you can have real ones from the exhaust. This was quick!

Sorry! but you have me so hooked on this rice thing that over the weekend I thought I would do this to mine! I think it's a huge improvement. I'm off to hang with some gurlz and kick some bottom. Hoo-ra!

That is the funniest thing I've read in days.

BTW, didn't I see the other car in 911 & Porsche World? Looks familiar.
