Hello Y'all,

I am realtively new to this forum but not to my passion. There are few of you probably more than I realize that know me from other forums. I go by several names depending on which ones are already taken.

Rotarydude ---- Ebay, Rx7 & Rx8 clubs, Mazda REPU forum
Rotarydave ---- Vintage Rotaries, Rotary car club and here
Sgt Dave ---- Any with a connection to Atkins rotary or most sevenstock guys
Dad ---- To the most important ones my daughters and wife(they me get away with my little problem)
David Meditz ----- Facebook
email ---- Rotarydave(at)aol.com I think you can figure it out

Owner ---- Rotary Ranch, home for wayward, neglected and abandoned Mazdas (primarily rotary but accept boingers on a trial basis) 12,000 sq ft shop located on 3.5 acres in Cibolo, Texas.

My Collection(the cars) --- Rx-pectations (needed a catchy name)
R100/1200/1000, 4 coupes (R100 all, 2 resto in progress, 1 ex drag, 1 wreck), 1 wagon, 1 pickup(ute)
Rx2, 2 coupes (1 ex SCCA GT-3, 1 wrecked)
Rx3, 6 coupes (1 ex SCCA ST-2, 6 resto projects), 1 sedan, 3 wagons
Rx4, 3 coupes (serial numbers 86 & 96, 1 modified) 3 Wagons
Cosmo, ?? (More than anyone person should be allowed to own, including a J-Spec AP 120)
Rotary Pickup 8+ (at least one of each year)
Rx7 S1, 3 RHD savannas, #33, #88, + siginifcant others
Rx7 S2-3, 2 custom convertibles (one a real pacific avatar), Custom widebody
Rx7 S4-5, 2 88 10th AE, Several Verts, Other Misc

My Collection (Literature)
Owners Manuals complete set of rotarys for each model and year up to Rx8
Factory Service Manuals - nearly complete up to Rx8
Service Bulletins - Upto 1992
Wiring Diagrams - Complete upto Rx8
Parts Manuals - Book and Microfiche from Cosmo 110s through S6 Rx7
Sales Literature - US nearly all up to Rx8 and some Rx8, Foreign large amount but no idea on total compared to actual issue.
Press Packets - About half from 1970- 1985
Posters - A bunch of them

This doesn't account for all the parts, toys or memorbilia.

Don't get me wrong this is a 20 year collection (obsession) My wife says at least I am cheating with a car and not another woman. But don't let her fool you she works on them as much as I do. How deep in this are we as a family? WELL my daughters dogs are named Savanna and Cosmo. And I am the self proclaimed High Priest of the Holy Order of the Wankel.

Thanks in advance for accepting me into your awesome community and I hope I can be a good steward for the marque

Pix or it aint true

Its true mate

Dave is a great bloke who really loves his Mazda's and has one of the biggest collections I know of anywhere.
Anybody who really knows Mazda's knows him and will agree.

It is VERY TRUE! David is one of the top gatherers of ROTARY in the USA!

-Bern

Thanks for the vote of support and confidence Clayton and Bern. I should expect this type of reaction after all I myself have doubted the veractiy of claims elsewhere. How often is it that someone busts into a forum and claims to have a horde and then turns out to be nothing of the sort.

PLUS this is the fun part backing it up.

Glad to see another Texan on the forum.

Welcome to JNC . Great collection. I love the IMSA door! Great dog names too

Thanks for the great comments.

Ben if you went to 7-stock 2 years back the door was actually displayed there and it now has signatures from 2 of the original 3 drivers and 1 of the original crew chiefs. I am still trying to get Walt Bohren to sign it but he is out of the country.

I never doubted you RotaryDave, just wanted to see pixs.

More R100 pics please, i would love to own a R100 but being 6foot 7inches tall its not going to happen.

try looking at my photobucket albums, rotarydude, they are all public. pictures are rather old though

WOW no way! This is like rotary Heaven.
