Hello from Down Under

Post by shoty69 »

Hello all,

Introducing myself, my name is Ernie Martin from Singleton, Australia.
Singleton is about 2hrs north of Sydney and about 1hr west of Newcastle.
I have owned many RX model cars from RX2's to RX3's. I then got married and she expected a house, which she got at the cost of my cars, and kids, which she got at a cost of my sanity.
I was looking for a family car back in 2000 when I found a 1979 RX7 from a mariage break up cheap, so I jumped at the chance to grab it. Now I don't know about you, but I believe that the back seat of an RX7 can take a family if you try really, really hard.
Needless to say, The Minister for War & Finance wasn't very happy.
Any way, to cut a long story short, I still own the RX7 and The Minister has her family truckster.
Mind you, I have mad this RX7 into my rally car & have just had a Bridge Ported 13B built for her and a good webber carb to feed her all the motion lotion she desires.

Welcome AND Great to see an SA rally car. As mentioned, more pics please.
When in doubt....hit the gas.
22 7's in the yard makes me a collector...not a redneck.
