Subject: (rx7) [misc] Note from MNAO president
Hey folks,

I just got a note from Charlie Hughes, President & CEO of Mazda North
American Operations (MNAO), thanking me for sending him one of my Rotary
Engine Illustrated prints (see my .sig if you don't know what I'm talking
about). Anyway, in the note he said (among other things): "We too, anxiously
await the premier of more rotary driven models in the near future." The word
that jumps out at me is "models"...plural...as in, more than one. I'm
probably reading too much into it, but it's nice to hear someone high up in
the corporation say that, even if MNAO doesn't make the final decisions.

BTW, anyone from the Northwest who's making the trip to Sevenstock IV on
June 16th, where participants will get a tour of MNAO design studios and a
look at a running RX-Evolv, should get in touch with me. Berny Herrera, of
the SoCal7's RX-7 club <http://www.socal7s.org>, has asked me to coordinate
any regional effort to drive down as a group. I was originally thinking of
getting a 15 passenger van and splitting the cost and the driving (18-20
hours from Portland), but now I'm leaning toward just a caravan of RX-7s,
which would make an interesting sight on the freeway :-) If nothing else, we
can try to team folks up, so there are two people in each car -- those
without rides can ride shotgun with those that do, perhaps splitting the
driving and the gas. Anyone interested? If so, in addition to your email
address, be sure to tell me your cell phone number (if you have one) and
whether you are driving or looking for a ride. And, if you are driving, tell
me if you want a shotgun/navigator or not. Thanks.
