In 2016, Jenna and I were seriously thinking about a move overseas. With a heavy heart, the HR Holden has been sold to a Launceston man and the cash was still burning a hole in my pocket.
I had considered giving it back to Dad as a 70th Birthday present and “Thanks” for the HR but that wasn’t to be.
Trawling through Car Sales as you do, a two-tone grey, Mazda RX7 appeared in Sandy Bay – just down the road. With cash in hand, I test drove the car and made a deal with the elderly owner Glenny (who was a bit of a Mazda tragic).
She had named the car Bruce… (to be continued).
Without really getting Jenna’s permission, I brought the RX7 home and enjoyed about 3 or 4 months of owning my dream car, selling it to Louis in Melbourne before moving to live in Norway in 2017.
Louis still has the RX7 and he’s put a modern, turbo motor in the car; seriously investing in a heap of upgrades to the drivetrain as well.
