Que hermoso auto!!!

It's one of the MOST beautiful cars I have seen... The lines runs so smooth from the roof to the front and back. !

Te felicito. Por cierto tenes un rotor que ya no uses por ahi? PM me.

thanks, I love the lines , and pictures dont do it justice!

so far about $11,000, but I have some parts that are not on the car that cost me about $2,000 more.

carlos where are you from? I always get a lot of rotary cars to sell, como dicen crea fama y hechate a dormir.

one thing that really stands out of this car is the roof line is really low, about as much as an fd so it makes the car look longer and sportier than it really is.

nice color, car looks so innocent, you'd never know it has a 3 rotor lurking under the hood just looking at it.

I love the car! It is very beautiful. You are a very lucky guy to be able to have all of those rotaries!

Just so you know, "firts" is actually spelled "first."

DMRH long time man, hows your monster? Any new mods?

I will look them up when I get home

I had a question for you, do you know where I can get the "3 ROTOR RE" badges that go on the front fenders?
