Would be awesome if there was a new RX-7 with styling inspired by the '93 model.

You never have to change oil in a rotary, it burns enough of it that all you have to do is add some every now and then and change the filter.

The journos down under say the next RX-7 (if there is one), which was once thought to get a normally aspirated rotary engine (if Mazda is working on one), will now get a 450 hp (table salt) turbocharged (road salt) rotary engine (industrial rock salt).

Is all this talk about salt a down east thing

It's excessive use of the common phrase 'take it with a grain of salt'!

Quite an entertaining article, I might add!

As an Australian let me just say, Mark Stevenson is an attractive, and intelligent man whose company I enjoy and who has never once smelled offensive in my presence.

Correct. It's like a 2-stroke with a separate tank for oil and gas.

call me crazy,.. but the picture didn't quite jive with the article.... unless australia has it's own language now heavily based off asian culture...

though i find the article quite funny, the salt truck label in the title and in the forum is a bit confusing.. it's like cockney slang or something.. you are skipping out the middle part of how you get to salt truck...

is that place where you grabbed jacob from? he seems to tell the truth over here in canadia... except that last post!

Picture is from a previous story since I wasn't going to steal the render from the outlet mentioned.

Also, humour isn't for everyone. It's okay

i just got confused! (easy enough to happen!) i had thought maybe rx-7 was a new designation for a work truck or something...

gets tricky throwing the punchline out before you've started the joke!
