    I am the new owner of "Rooster"



    Hello everyone,
    As of last night, I am the new owner of Rooster: the Eunos Roadster. My name is Alex, and I am a Seminary Student in the DFW area. My wife and I just moved to the area and started looking for a replacement car for me a few weeks ago. I don't get to drive as often as I would like. So when I do drive, I want it to be an experience full of smiles and character. This car oozes it, and I feel like I've adopted a child more than I feel like I've bought a car. I'm looking forward to being a part of the community, and taking care of a car that is such a big part of it.

    Welcome to our enthusiast community and congratulations on your adoption of Rooster. It's good to hear your enthusiasm for the car as the community at large thinks it is pretty special too. Our little cars are getting long in the tooth now so we all have an interest in preserving our cars, especially the special ones like Rooster. You'll find a lot of helpful people here willing to share their experience and answer any questions you may have.

    Welcome! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the car. I have a good feeling you'll pick up where Steve left off.

    I hate you, and everything you stand for.

    I'll be in the DFW area end of Oct to visit Vej and Steven and whoever else is willing to meet me. We're probably going to stop at a bar and stuff and tell stories... you're more than welcome to come. I'm only saying this because I want to see Rooster; and I'm not actually a nice person.

    Welcome to the forum! I'm glad it seems Rooster is going to somebody that will appreciate and care for it.

    Anyways, great choice in buying a Roadster.

    You would know!

    Alex, meet Phat (Randy). Randy was the previous owner of the car. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I flew one-way to Tampa, FL and drove the car home. If you have any questions about the car's history prior to my ownership, he's the one to ask. He's also the owner of this forum and hoarder of rare JDM stuff so if you're looking for something specific he probably already has 2 or 3...or can help you get it.

    Make sure to get me the dates for this ASAP. I'm likely to be out of town on business some time in the end of Oct!

    @phatmiata - That roll bar you had in there was a Hard Dog M1HCHT, right?

    Great to have you join the club! You have become the owner of a very special car, and it sounds like you are up to the challenge. Enjoy and respect her. Oh yeah, and if anything bad should happen to her...
