Wow.... wheel flares or not, the sheer rarity of the GSII, love it! Great job spotting this one. I will admit I am a true Rotor head, but the more I watch your vids, well I'm starting to become a J-tin fan!! Thanks for sharing and keep your fantastic vids coming!
I wanted an early rotor coupe as my first car 15 years ago. At the time I liked the rx4 coupe most, but now I actually like the rx2 and rx3 and r100 coupe's as a preference. I used to see them more often on our roads in Australia but recently they are quite rare and hard to find. Although I saw a few recently on sunny days ;). I ended up with a 73 240z as my first car after working for my uncle who is a brick layer during school holidays. I paid half and my mum paid the other half. You could get a 240z back then for 3k and that was what I did. I really regretted not sticking with that car, I later got a 72 240z and I paid for that working in a cheap video store. Now that I've finished with school and been working I got myself a series 6 FD and own 2 240z's. Still got the 72 and recently got a early 1970 that needs restoration. I'm learning to do the body work myself at a local technical college because to be honest I don't see myself ever growing out of old school j tin. I've worked many jobs but always loved these old school Japanese cars. Never thought I'd get a rotary but I am really glad I did amazing motors and great fun to drive around and think about how the motor works and know it is unique to every other car on the road.
WasabiCars no problem, if you want you can read more about my projects here: www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,14206.0.html here: www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,13624.0.html and here: www.irishrotary.com/forum/forum/rotary-vehicles/rx-7-3rd-gen-fd3s-1991-2002/5964-my-fd-rx-7-stolen
no high school,started work at 15.just a distant memory but now have all the time in the world to look at all the cars on the net that i did not manage to own..
WasabiCars One of these RX-2 is for sell in Puerto Rico! Love this body style, and that RX-7!!! Wow! That's a 1979 first gen. RX-7 also my favorite! I remember once, my friend took his dad's first gen. RX-7 out for a spin (with no permission because his dad wouldn't let him). That RX-7 had the devil in it! It had a twin turbo 13B swap (originally had a 12A). So we took the car, drove it down a hill and floor-to-the metal! It was my first experience with a rotary, and one of the scariest one too! My friend accelerated to like 6-7500 rpm and the car jumped right up to the air!!! All we saw was the hood and blue sky! We just saw each other in terror and returned the car to the same spot we took it. The next day out of curiosity, I asked his father, how much power the mazda has? He said in a measly tone while eating....675-700 horsepower. I was like: 8^0!!!¡¡¡. As a job I had a newspaper route. Nothing much. Lol. Those were the good old days for sure!! 8^)
So clean! Is it possible that the owners are friends? It's rare enough to see one, but two right next to each other in a public lot is amazing! Very cool vid
worked as sales assistant at a local superstore when i'm 16 during school holiday. Recently got myself a Mazda Luce Estate aka 1500/1800. Gonna restore it someday. :D
love it, the over fenders, wheels, front lip, spoiler all look great, i think to finish it off, it needs lowering to fill the arches, and a car that nice should've been in the car show :) QOTD, i had 2 part time jobs, washing up in a hotel and working on a dairy farm, the farm was my favorite job out of the 2, i love cows :) keep up the good work Dan.
Only 2 SA22 RX7 in 17 years? Crazy. Past 10 years here i've probably seen at least 20. Extremely common car in the US and can be had for pennies in good working order. Especially in the south west, but here it's a car spotters dream really. High school I worked at a grocer called Fairplay.
Hoyts!! Wow. I remember going to the Hoyts Cinema in Brisbane. My Dad took me & my sister to see Conan the Barbarian. I'm certain we were too young to see that.
Looks sick!!! Love the rotarys they are quite rare, there are a few RX2's hidden away here in New Zealand. But not many at all!! Loving the first gen RX7. I am still in High School but my first job was washing dishes for a restaurant fun... hahaha
Well after highschool till now I'm in college I'm a bartender! And there was a few times they had car gatherings right in front on d shop including old school JDMs... best memories evarr they had really nice datsuns 140y,e70, old rotaries, datsuns and all ;D
Don't mind the flares or spoiler. They're both removable & it's easily put back into stock shape plus, IMO, it's a nice look. And you can't tell I was always into cars? First I had a summer job with a bread company fueling, cleaning & caring for the delivery trucks then I got a part time job at an old Mobil gas station. This was long ago when the red pegasus was everywhere! Perk on that job was free oil changes & use of the rack to work on my car. Good times...
I did a few different jobs in high school. I started before high school mowing lawns in the warm weather and shoveling snow in the winter. I would also do odds jobs for my grandfather. My first part time job was working at an oil change place. I quit that job after about six months and worked at a moving company for much better money. In the early eighties I could make 300 by working on the weekend. This Paris for my stero equipment and gas among other things.
G'day, Dan'l. Sweet looking Mazda Capella Rotary. I had a neighbour who had a 4 door sedan version. It had the same front styling, but it was a 4 door. Except for the rear spoiler, I think the car looks awesome!
B-E-A-utiful car! QOTD- still trying for a part time job. Been applying at nearly all the mechanics in town. I need some money for a rwd celica, preferably an RA40 though.
My High School job was a boring run of the mill paper run, still it paid for my early start in buying kitset models and building an HO/OO model railway, sold many years ago, now have a 5 inch guage loco to play with.
Nice. My actually very first job was helping the newsagency guy wrap the papers then load the into the car. I'd be in the back handing him the papers. Had to be up at 3. It was tough going at the start.
WasabiCars In later years while I worked with a mobility service, I was up at 3 to fold and wrap the Dominion Post newspaper and deliver them on a country run, usually home again about 6.30, sleep for an hour and back into driving the mobility van, made for a very long day.
The air-vent delete is pretty common on resto'd cars Dan, the original was probably a bad rust spot, and these are known to rust around that vent and cause further rust down inside the pillar. Maybe just a delete when they did the body work then? My part time job in high school was as a kitchen hand at the Como Hotel in Perth, which led to my full time job now as a chef. PEACE!!!
Oh man those old school Mazda's are too nice. Have you spotted an fc3s turbo yet? I have yet to ever see one and they are easily one of my favourite older JDM cars. Also very rare.
It's so funny that you say that rotaries in the Japan are rare, because the RX7 is super common in the US and in the Caribbean. I can't say the same for the Capella or RX2 and RX3s. Anyway, awesome vid. Thanks for posting that. :)
I guess it's rust & mechanical issues as well but the Japanese don't like hanging on to old cars. Sad. Good to hear from you again too. Hope you are well.
Mine? worked as a service station forecourt attendant which entailed going there almost all day saturday and cleaning the whole joint up including degreasing the floor of the mechanics bay (yes that was when servo's had attached working garages) , filling up all the oil bottles that used to sit outside on the rack (another bygone tradition) , refilling LPG bottles etc etc and only getting paid $30 a week for the whole thing!
they are pretty rare here in the states as well. i have only seen one rx2 ib the wild, it was a 4 door and the guy lived down the street from a friends house back in high school. i was lucky enough to snag a 1980 rx7 for myself recently, rough but worth saving. i worked in a department store warehouse in high school, not exciting or fun at all haha.
Know this one Dan, good spot it was originally D2 Astro purple and had been stored away until they painted it over in this blue...Still has the original twin dizzy 12A :)!!
I worked at a burger place as well called Wendy's, let me tell you... Wendy didn't help much with paying for my 20th AE GTI so I took to printing tshirts in the basement of my parents house. Love the videos, there isn't many easy ways to learn about classic JDM's over here in the states.
Wendy's? There was one for a while in Fukuoka. I think they've since pulled out of Japan. Maybe they pay their staff too much. ;-) Glad to hear you're enjoying the video. Appreciated.
So in other words: the Mazda rotaries are just as rare in Japan as here in the Netherlands? So far I have seen in the wild: 2 x RX7 FC 1 x RX7 FD 4 x RX8 And of course I did see many RX7s and RX8s (and a Cosmo) either at a meeting or enroute to a meeting. QOTD? I had many jobs in high school, but the one I liked best was hauling breakfast/lunch/dinner trays in a local hospital. Apart from bringing them to the various sections of the hospital as fast as we could (otherwise the food would be cold) there wasn't much to do during the remainder of the day. So me and two other guys did nothing but play cards all day. ;)
I worked at a Nissan Dealership in the US. That was an awesome job. Got to drive a few 370Zs and you can bet your ass I ripped on em. sorry customers xD The absolute highlight of working there was getting to ride in the R35. I'll never forget how fast that thing was.
Left school at 15 and straight into work but I did have a job on the side as a barman in a pub when I was 18 had to give it up it would have turned me into a alcoholic LOL .
beautiful car, what an era - though a ducktail would have been a much nicer spoiler I think mine was stockboy: 4.5 years stocking shelves at minimum wage back when I didn't know any better, chasing the girlie cashiers, loading sod and christmas trees, crushing boxes, yes great times
I d pi dnt have a job during high school ,but did a little side job dressing up as one of the Three kings for Christmas on my senior year and the Christmas after.
WasabiCars yup thats it thanks,Its so sad too see it in that condition.I'm currently restoring one myself but with the round lights infront you're lucky too even see one anymore they are slowly phasing out of existence.
I bought a brand new 4dr Mazda RX2, back in '73, assembled in NZ, and sold it in 1981, I had front and rear spoilers added and mag wheels, apex seals only lasted 40,000kms, but I always regretted selling that car. postimg.org/image/vdvh6g39f/
If I may ask, what was your driving like with the car? I understand that every now and then you come across a lemon... because just shy of 25,000 miles seems a little low for apex seals to go bad. If I remember correctly they should last closer to 100k miles.
I never had a job :'( nice mazda, which city is it from? that kanji in the upper part of the nameplate looks odd :\ burger king? I love the stackers, but which meat is better? traditional or the seasoned one? we got 2 types at least here.
Wow. I've been working since 15. I had to blur out part of the plate. It takes so much time to cover "private" details and I don't really understand how it can be private if everyone can see it. >_< Do you like Bembos?
WasabiCars I know, I don't care if my nameplate appears anywhere, it's just dumb. do you know Bembos? it is one of the most well known brand here in Peru, it is more expensive than their US competitors, but the hamburgers are super thick! there was a limited offer a year ago of Kobe meat hamburgers, but that was one of the most expensive hamburgers I've ever seen. I didn't buy one, but they were more that 10 US dollars. have you seen bembos in Japan? I heard that there are two restaurants in dheli and mumbay, I don't know about japan though.
No, never see them. ... ... Actually, I might have seen one here: Chance Find: A neglected, private Car-Collection - Toyota, Honda, Datsun, Mazda, Mitsubishi, etc...
The corona I am speaking about is Corona Liftback 1.8 GL (1979-1981) .Appreciate responding back but also a car as a similarity to the Corolla Liftback
I started at about $7 an hour and got rapid raises until I was at $14. Then the company closed down because they couldn't afford their expensive labor force LOL
WasabiCars oh ok did not see that I had to go handle a situation here before I finished the video thanks Gee I was not aware they are that rare. I seen a convertible one last year
Gotta love a quick Wankel on the internet! :) Worked in a (now out of business) supermarket called Kwik-Save which paid for my first car, a 1300cc Ford Escort! Good times!
Most of the rotaries are sent away to other countries as half cuts because they suck fuel like mad. hahaha. Anyway when i was in mid school i was helping out my uncle washing dishes and serving tables. Later he changed his business and i end up washing his food cart, For a few bucks daily. hahaha.
very nice! if you want a laugh, type in 'drifting in my capella' on youtube haha. got photos of a capella i saw at a classic car club mini show, cant remember what specs tho gotta have a look. my high school job you ask? well im still in high school, and work at maccas! right next to super cheap auto, guy who worked there use to own an ae86 and did a trueno front conversion. was so nice! also seen a bayside blue BNR34 V SPEC II. so yeah kind of a bonus working next door to a super cheap auto.
Wow.... wheel flares or not, the sheer rarity of the GSII, love it! Great job spotting this one. I will admit I am a true Rotor head, but the more I watch your vids, well I'm starting to become a J-tin fan!! Thanks for sharing and keep your fantastic vids coming!
Hey, thanks Juan. :D
Danny I must say you have gotten the best of what the country has to offer.

Loving the rotos Dan. Good to see some that don't make me cry.
Hahaha! Yeah, I like to mix it up. ;-)

Very cool vid
I'm sure they came to the show together.
Growing up back in the caribbean rotary cars were popular and they still are. Its crazy how u dont see em in their home turf
ivorton23 Killer rust here. :(
worked as sales assistant at a local superstore when i'm 16 during school holiday. Recently got myself a Mazda Luce Estate aka 1500/1800. Gonna restore it someday. :D
Good stuff. :)
My part time job during high school was working at the movie theater, it was awesome! So much fun but such crappy pay.
I miss my Capella RX2
First job mowing lawns
Second job working weekends at GW Autos a Mazda wreckers at Granville.
When I was stationed in Yokusuka I had a 1979 RX7. Fun car .
A nice car to put around in. ;-)
love it, the over fenders, wheels, front lip, spoiler all look great, i think to finish it off, it needs lowering to fill the arches, and a car that nice should've been in the car show :)
QOTD, i had 2 part time jobs, washing up in a hotel and working on a dairy farm, the farm was my favorite job out of the 2, i love cows :)
keep up the good work Dan.
Yes, it does look to be a little high. Lol. you cow-lover!
WasabiCars
haha, cow lover, that cracked me up :)
Only 2 SA22 RX7 in 17 years? Crazy. Past 10 years here i've probably seen at least 20. Extremely common car in the US and can be had for pennies in good working order. Especially in the south west, but here it's a car spotters dream really.
High school I worked at a grocer called Fairplay.
Worked delivering for a chemist and helped customize panel vans on the weekends.
Awesome. The van work I mean. :)
high school job.. worked at Hoyts Cinemas
First rotary was my 87 mazda HBES 929 cosmo
Hoyts!! Wow. I remember going to the Hoyts Cinema in Brisbane. My Dad took me & my sister to see Conan the Barbarian. I'm certain we were too young to see that.
Looks sick!!! Love the rotarys they are quite rare, there are a few RX2's hidden away here in New Zealand. But not many at all!! Loving the first gen RX7. I am still in High School but my first job was washing dishes for a restaurant fun... hahaha
Thanks Mitch. ;-)
My high school job was a paper boy then working in a pet/garden centre lol... Worked same garden centre right through high school-college then uni!
NIce. It would have been good to have all that cash through those years.
Over here in Australia we always see these on the drag strip
Oh man. Next time I'm in Oz, I hope to get to Willowbank. It's been too long.
Well after highschool till now I'm in college I'm a bartender! And there was a few times they had car gatherings right in front on d shop including old school JDMs... best memories evarr they had really nice datsuns 140y,e70, old rotaries, datsuns and all ;D
Good stuff! ;-)
Beautiful.
My high school job was serving Ice Cream at Cold Stone Creamery; I'm not sure if anyone outside the US is familiar with that place.
I know for certain that they are (or at least, were) in Australia. Never went there though. :P
high school part time work was collecting trolleys and sweeping the floors during and after closing time at BI-LO supermarket .
Life was so much more simpler then. ;-)
Don't mind the flares or spoiler. They're both removable & it's easily put back into stock shape plus, IMO, it's a nice look. And you can't tell I was always into cars? First I had a summer job with a bread company fueling, cleaning & caring for the delivery trucks then I got a part time job at an old Mobil gas station.

Love the fenders! A very nice looking car! My job in high school I had to clean stairs and I still do :l I've only just finished school haha
The thing with cleaning stairs is, the more you clean the higher up you go. :D
WasabiCars It's just a small block of flats and I see what you did there haha
G'day, Dan'l. Sweet looking Mazda Capella Rotary. I had a neighbour who had a 4 door sedan version. It had the same front styling, but it was a 4 door. Except for the rear spoiler, I think the car looks awesome!
Thanks Jason. I think the 4-doors are pretty cool looking too.
WasabiCars I love the colour of the car. Whether it's original stock colour or not, but it looks awesome! :)
The retro bride seat is a nice touch
It was retro? You have sharp eyes.
B-E-A-utiful car!
QOTD- still trying for a part time job. Been applying at nearly all the mechanics in town. I need some money for a rwd celica, preferably an RA40 though.
My High School job was a boring run of the mill paper run, still it paid for my early start in buying kitset models and building an HO/OO model railway, sold many years ago, now have a 5 inch guage loco to play with.
Nice. My actually very first job was helping the newsagency guy wrap the papers then load the into the car. I'd be in the back handing him the papers. Had to be up at 3. It was tough going at the start.

Pushing shopping carts at a grocery store. Good times.
Good work dude, that colour is beautifu! I'm diggin' the fenders too :)
Thanks. :)
The air-vent delete is pretty common on resto'd cars Dan, the original was probably a bad rust spot, and these are known to rust around that vent and cause further rust down inside the pillar. Maybe just a delete when they did the body work then?
My part time job in high school was as a kitchen hand at the Como Hotel in Perth, which led to my full time job now as a chef. PEACE!!!
Oh man those old school Mazda's are too nice.
Have you spotted an fc3s turbo yet? I have yet to ever see one and they are easily one of my favourite older JDM cars. Also very rare.
Over fenders look mad as love em and the wheels
I believe they are Work Meisters. Didn't get good shots of them though.
i love this car
It is a beauty. :)
It's so funny that you say that rotaries in the Japan are rare, because the RX7 is super common in the US and in the Caribbean. I can't say the same for the Capella or RX2 and RX3s. Anyway, awesome vid. Thanks for posting that. :)
I guess it's rust & mechanical issues as well but the Japanese don't like hanging on to old cars. Sad. Good to hear from you again too. Hope you are well.
Ha, I only saw one RX7 around here.
Mine? worked as a service station forecourt attendant which entailed going there almost all day saturday and cleaning the whole joint up including degreasing the floor of the mechanics bay (yes that was when servo's had attached working garages) , filling up all the oil bottles that used to sit outside on the rack (another bygone tradition) , refilling LPG bottles etc etc and only getting paid $30 a week for the whole thing!
Damn! Slaving away for pennies. Good life experience though. ;-)
good stuff mate that's what I wanna see
;-)
they are pretty rare here in the states as well. i have only seen one rx2 ib the wild, it was a 4 door and the guy lived down the street from a friends house back in high school. i was lucky enough to snag a 1980 rx7 for myself recently, rough but worth saving. i worked in a department store warehouse in high school, not exciting or fun at all haha.
Thanks for your comment. Appreciated. :)
0:48 Or the base..... CAPELLAaaaaaaa.... lmfao love that part man makes me laugh every time haha
My after school job was bagging groceries in a supermarket for $1.00 per hour, of course it was 1968.
;-)
Know this one Dan, good spot it was originally D2 Astro purple and had been stored away until they painted it over in this blue...Still has the original twin dizzy 12A :)!!
Wow. Any links to online stuff?
Check it out here bro...minkara.carview.co.jp/en/userid/1631373/car/1280262/profile.aspx

Yes, thanks. :)

Wendy's? There was one for a while in Fukuoka. I think they've since pulled out of Japan. Maybe they pay their staff too much. ;-)
Glad to hear you're enjoying the video. Appreciated.
Not using wasabians Daniel!? I though my name was the winning name?! Ohwell it's all good car is so nice!!! Need more like this
Sorry, That came in at No 2 in popularity. Sorry.
Ah no problems man it's all good! Lookin forward to the next vid mate
In high school now :)
Something to look forward to then. ;-)
flawless, reminds me of the gto a bit.
So in other words: the Mazda rotaries are just as rare in Japan as here in the Netherlands?
So far I have seen in the wild:
2 x RX7 FC
1 x RX7 FD
4 x RX8
And of course I did see many RX7s and RX8s (and a Cosmo) either at a meeting or enroute to a meeting.
QOTD? I had many jobs in high school, but the one I liked best was hauling breakfast/lunch/dinner trays in a local hospital. Apart from bringing them to the various sections of the hospital as fast as we could (otherwise the food would be cold) there wasn't much to do during the remainder of the day. So me and two other guys did nothing but play cards all day. ;)
Hahahaha, awesome! The cards, not the almost-extinct rotaries. ;-)
The RX7 needs to be the main focus
another great car, thx a lot !!!
Thanks for valuable information, sir.
I worked at a Nissan Dealership in the US. That was an awesome job. Got to drive a few 370Zs and you can bet your ass I ripped on em. sorry customers xD
The absolute highlight of working there was getting to ride in the R35. I'll never forget how fast that thing was.
Haha. Sweet!
I worked at putt putt in high school
Left school at 15 and straight into work but I did have a job on the side as a barman in a pub when I was 18 had to give it up it would have turned me into a alcoholic LOL .
Sounds like a good job to have for a while though. ;-)
The lock in's were crazy even the cops turned up for a drink .
beautiful car, what an era - though a ducktail would have been a much nicer spoiler I think
mine was stockboy: 4.5 years stocking shelves at minimum wage back when I didn't know any better, chasing the girlie cashiers, loading sod and christmas trees, crushing boxes, yes great times
Those were the days. ;-)
I d pi dnt have a job during high school ,but did a little side job dressing up as one of the Three kings for Christmas on my senior year and the Christmas after.
Lol. Long time between paydays.
Yeah, It was fun though :D
I had no official job, was usually doing landscaping for extra cash for my 1st s13
Nice work. :)
Do you have a video with the blue four door one by itself or more pictures of it? Would love too see more of it.
This one? ua-cam.com/video/W6CHi3tz7Ig/v-deo.html
WasabiCars yup thats it thanks,Its so sad too see it in that condition.I'm currently restoring one myself but with the round lights infront you're lucky too even see one anymore they are slowly phasing out of existence.
First job was at mcdonalds loved it!
Haha, they were our rivals.
High school job = Taco Bell... back when they used real beef :)
Scary. I'd hate to think what they are using nowadays.
awesome
Video plays blurry for some reason.
where in Japan do you live? I'm in Aichi and have a 1970 capella, same color as this one.
Liam Stone I live in Saga ken. :)
Anyone know who makes those fender flares? Are they for a Z or other car originally? Im in need of a set for my 72 RX2 coupe
+Jeremy Stone Sorry, don't know.
I bought a brand new 4dr Mazda RX2, back in '73, assembled in NZ, and sold it in 1981, I had front and rear spoilers added and mag wheels, apex seals only lasted 40,000kms, but I always regretted selling that car. postimg.org/image/vdvh6g39f/

My part time job was runner on a home milk delivery service
I never had a job :'(
nice mazda, which city is it from? that kanji in the upper part of the nameplate looks odd :\
burger king? I love the stackers, but which meat is better? traditional or the seasoned one? we got 2 types at least here.
Wow. I've been working since 15. I had to blur out part of the plate. It takes so much time to cover "private" details and I don't really understand how it can be private if everyone can see it. >_< Do you like Bembos?
WasabiCars I know, I don't care if my nameplate appears anywhere, it's just dumb.
do you know Bembos? it is one of the most well known brand here in Peru, it is more expensive than their US competitors, but the hamburgers are super thick! there was a limited offer a year ago of Kobe meat hamburgers, but that was one of the most expensive hamburgers I've ever seen. I didn't buy one, but they were more that 10 US dollars. have you seen bembos in Japan? I heard that there are two restaurants in dheli and mumbay, I don't know about japan though.
part time job in high school? hmm one was I briefly worked in a restaurant until it was sold. the other one I still do now bookkeeping and accounting
One of the subjects I did at college was bookkeeping. I T D I D M Y F R E E K I N G H E A D I N.
have you posted a Toyota Corona Liftback before
No, never see them. ... ... Actually, I might have seen one here: Chance Find: A neglected, private Car-Collection - Toyota, Honda, Datsun, Mazda, Mitsubishi, etc...
The corona I am speaking about is Corona Liftback 1.8 GL (1979-1981) .Appreciate responding back but also a car as a similarity to the Corolla Liftback
Good details though

That rx7 :0
Yes, that got a mention at the end of the video as well. ;-)
I wanted to get a job but recently broke my ankle :p
Oh. I hope you get better soon.
Thanks :)
Nice car, but I would have left the fenders original... I was a supermarket bag boy when I was in high school.
$1 a day? That's what another commenter was getting.
I started at about $7 an hour and got rapid raises until I was at $14. Then the company closed down because they couldn't afford their expensive labor force LOL
a RX7 perhaps next to it? yellow car?
Yep, I chat briefly about it at the end of the video: Old-school JDM: 1972 Mazda Rotary Capella GSII (RX2)
WasabiCars oh ok did not see that I had to go handle a situation here before I finished the video thanks Gee I was not aware they are that rare. I seen a convertible one last year
Gotta love a quick Wankel on the internet! :) Worked in a (now out of business) supermarket called Kwik-Save which paid for my first car, a 1300cc Ford Escort! Good times!
I guess for people who don't Wankel, there are Escorts. ;-)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... You f***ing legend!!!!!
I WANT TO BUY THIS CAR I WOULD PAY ANY PRICE MY DREAM CAR !!!!!!!!
Most of the rotaries are sent away to other countries as half cuts because they suck fuel like mad. hahaha.
Anyway when i was in mid school i was helping out my uncle washing dishes and serving tables. Later he changed his business and i end up washing his food cart, For a few bucks daily. hahaha.
Good times.. ;-)
