I am thinking we will see a Special 40Th Anniversary RX-8 at the Tokyo Motor Show in October, along with the "upgraded" RX-8 for next year???

NoTears316 05-30-2007 07:51 AM

That would be nice. Hopefully something better then a new key and a clear washer fluid reservoir.

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! :lol:

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.
