Do you still believe rotaries are more reliable than piston engines?

I always take comfort in knowing no matter what you do or how stupid, someone else is going to come along 5 minutes later and do something twice as dumb.

**Pandaemonaeon** · 11th February 2019, 3:20 pm

Usually his posts get deleted within a couple of minutes though lol

I'm guessing your level of stupidity is quite high, always taking comfort in such a thing.

Possibly one of the longest in history. I couldn't resist.

The 13a was the only front wheel drive rotary used in an old Luce.
The 12b was the first rotary with a single distributor and was used in late model RX-2's and RX-3's. The earlier 12a had twin distributors.

Thanks for the epic bump - saw this post while I was up a hill today, pic attached. Checked the engine and you're right, it's a 12A. Couldn't have done it without you.

Nice RX-2. It has been years since I've seen one on the road. Old rotors are so rare these days compared to 18 years ago. Had my '78 RX-7 back then. First rotary... basically lived in it.
Mean view from up there too, wherever that is.

**Pandaemonaeon** · 16th February 2019, 8:27 am

There is an RX-2 that has shown up in Rotorua that looks really tidy from the distances I have seen it at.
That's not to say it actually is though lol.

That was a smart ass reply to your smart ass comment. Not an insult.
I'm not the type who insults people from behind the monitor like a coward.

**Mutton** · 17th February 2019, 9:21 am

Shit you sound tough. Way to make his point.

**GaR** · 17th February 2019, 2:47 pm

The best bit is the 3 deleted replies before the one he finally settled on.

I wasn't trying to sound tough.
My point was that if I wanted to talk shit to someone, I would do it to their face. I can handle myself, unlike cowards who only run their mouth from behind the safety of their monitors, which the internet is crawling with.

Because at first I couldn't be bothered replying to him, which is why I deleted those posts. Big deal.

Done here. I said what I wanted to say on the previous page.
I'm not here for petty arguments with a few nobodys. I grew out of that shit years ago.

Are you defending the honour of SirGrim or are you insecure about being wrong? I can't work it out. You seem overly aggressive about a comment that wasn't even directed at you.

Wrong about what exactly? There was nothing to be wrong about in my post.

Your comment was obviously directed at me.
Did it hit a nerve? Not at all. I don't get offended online by people who don't even know me. Do you..?

I wasn't being "overly aggressive" either. I was making a point. Sorry if you can't get your head around it.

Goodbye and all the best

Haha. Wow. Of course my comment was to you, snaffta's wasn't. You got worked up over nothing.
