    Default New to the area

    Hello all.

    Ill be getting my discharge papers from the military here in the coming months and I will be moving to the Acworth area with my wife some time after. Frankly, never spent time in Georgia aside from driving through it.

    I have been big into rallying for a number of years, working on the board for the Idaho Rally for three years as well as starting the rallycross program in Boise.

    I currently own a 1982 Rx7 as a Group 5 rally car. Finishing doing a complete overhaul on it. 12a kicked the bucket. Now sporting a 1.6 miata engine with a turbo.

    My wife drives a Galant GSX I am converting over to a turbo arrangement here shortly.

    Torn between which car to keep to bring east. That being my 1985 Merkur, the Subaru or maybe make this Laser run. I have time to decide.

    Also, I brew beer.

    Rx7 suspension, Creme Stout

    Beer wise, I prefer stouts and porters. but I'll try anything. i have 5 gallons of creme stout in the secondary fermenter and should be brewing a Belgian wit here this week.

    I cant find any good pictures of the Merkur. I usually just drove the shit out it. They make EXCELLENT rally cars. And living where I am stationed I can enjoy hundreds of miles on perfect dirt roads. Not sure what GA will have to offer.
