My first car when I turned 16 was a beautiful 1981, I was lucky to have gotten it so cheap. At the time I was fairly mechanically inclined. My dad didnt hire babysitters, he had me bring him tools in his shop. Despite this, I had no idea what a rotary engine was, even as I took ownership of the car.
Here is a scanned photo of the old girl not long after I first bought her.
The car looks nothing like this today, but I still own her despite having owned nearly thirty cars. I also have a 1979 in Spark Yellow, that has a pretty cool story with it as well.
And I am looking to purchase a third, an S3 in really good shape. They all are accompanied by my 1991 Miata which is a daily driven track car. Im looking to take the '81 to some track days next year, and hopefully use the S3 I am looking at for a Daily driver.
I also admin the largest and only rotary club to my knowledge in the state of Ohio, 'Ohio Rotaries'
We try to get together once a month and grill, eat, chat, and sometimes go for a spirited cruise. Hopefully we will get the club on Mid-Ohio together next year and have some real fun on the track!
