New Member from Cincinnati area

hecmanortiz · 03-28-2010, 08:20 AM

Hello everyone. Just a note to introduce myself here. I'm originally from Puerto Rico and after 8 years in the Army settled in Ohio north of Cincinnati. In '86 I met LEKNAW in Germany and we were both transfered to Oklahoma at the same time. He introduced me to Mazda rotary engined cars. I bought an '83 GS with front and rear spoilers which I had for several months before trading it out for a more reasonable family car. I moved to Ohio in '93 and in '95 bought an '84 GSL. I put a a clutch and exhaust system in it(anyone remember the UPS strike? I waited for my exhaust during that time and the shop I bought it from almost went under before I got my parts). I sold it in '00 when I bought a new Triumph motorcycle. I'm looking again at buying a 1st gen and will start posting questions in a couple of minutes.

Welcome. You might also try www.ohiorotaries.com, particularly if you're looking for a car. Always something for sale, and probably local.

Welcome! I used to live in Cincy, OH.

I believe there is a rotary car group in that area..

Welcome! Another Cinci member!

Hamilton, huh? Not to far from me in West Chester. I keep hearing of a rotary group in town but I haven't seen anything/anyone - must be farther south. Good luck with the search. I had a hell of a time finding a decent FC in the area; so much so I ended up picking one up in DC and trailering it out here.

Thanks. I'm considering an FB(test drive questions posted in 1st gen forum). No rush in getting my next RX as I've already got an older Dodge truck, Volvo SW and motorcycle.
Infernosg, I work in West Chester.
