I popped along to a regular RX-8 OC Essex Meet last Friday evening and decided, it being a lovely evening, to take KIMI 2 along for a run. Turned into the car park to see another FB parked up with a spare parking space next to it (in a busy car park!). Pulled in and took the photo below. It was a American Diner, hence the flag ;)

Great to meet Bob Pay with his Series 3 Red FB, who I discovered lives only about 20 minutes from me down the A12 :) He'd found out about the meet from Aston at Essex Rotary at the recent Mazda Fans Day and decided he'd pop along - Im glad he did, a lovely surprise :D

That looks like a Rotary Owners Club (ROC) badge from the 90s, next to the Mazda Badge?

I'm told it was - the car also had one of the "RX-7 Owners Club" rotary shaped badges on the front windscreen too.

I'll try and encourage Bob to sign up on here.

Codge - I'm assuming this is car 178 on your Series 3 "2016 Area Locator" listing?

Don't have any more details although I did point the owner in this direction.

Nice spot, Casey. Looks nice

Pete. Paul is on the forum and has posted it up for sale here! :P Haha. I've spoken to him a lot on Facebook and he's a good guy. Car shouldn't need much to get on the road. http://www.rx7fb.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3863
