"The page you are looking for has been removed"

I watched the clock tick to 0, it faded and the link popped up. I clicked it and got that.

I never knew the rotary engine and I have the same birthday (although, it's some 15 years my elder) . No wonder it's so tempermental, it's a freaking GEMINI!

Happy birthday to both of us!

Interesting how the 1,000,000th rotary car was made in 1979, took almost 30 years to make the next million. Of course then, they were making everything rotored.
