Fantastic, you must be happy with it!

Ahh the rotary engine, one moving part, must make maintenance a dream!

As for Jettas - I grew up in South Africa, which is rife with them, so I've always had a soft spot for 'em

pity they're relatively rare here in the UK

There's actually three moving parts (two rotors and the eccentric shaft that's connected to them and spins the flywheel) but yeah, I love how simplistic they are as well as the sound they make... there's just nothing like it. South Africa, dang. I've never really been outside the US except for a trip to the UK and Italy which was nice to be in a more relaxed envrioment where everyone's not a prick. VW's never really earned the respect they deserve; they build solid dependable cars and I feel most people have always seen them as cheap or hard to work on. Ahwell, they will see.

M3 Owns all......

Weasel · February 7th, 2005

I can think of many things that can put a M3 in it's place. A 3rd gen RX-7 for existence and it's a fraction of the cost. Don't get me wrong, I love the M3 (especially the CSL) but it's not be considered something that can school most of the stuff out on the road. Want to go up against a 20b (3 rotor) 2nd gen? It'll even put the Viper SRT-10 to shame.

Isn't that the one Chip Foose helped restore? Drop that ugly excuse of a transmission and install a 3 or 5 speed and it'll be one of the nicest cars I've seen.

**Kush** · February 7th, 2005

yeah foose helped make it

Weasel · February 7th, 2005

Foose is amazing when it comes to car customization and restoration. If there was one person I was going to have customize my car without any suggestions or input from me, it'd be him.

Yeah there are alot of things that can beat a M3. All personal pref on what you want it for. I just like german cars. My M3 is for auto x. I did run a 12.5 in the 1/4 mile but I dont care about that.

I guess money also plays a factor in what you want to do. I guess I could buy a mustang for half the price and have on hell of a fast car.

I'm quite a fan of German cars (VW/Audi enthusiast) but I don't like the turn BMW's recently taken and have never liked Mercedes. It's good to see someone else who uses their car what it was built for (I Auto-X as well) and doesn't just drive it around for the status icon. Who knows, maybe we'll go up against eachother in a SCCA event.
