Now now Bellsouth, let's not get too worked up over this. I agree on
most aspects of the rotory but a raging success in the automotive
world it has not ever been. Sure you can get it in old RX-7's and new
RX-8's, but that's it. If it were such a great alternative, everyone
would be trying to build one.

Hi Corky,

Finally fixed the "Bellsouth News Server" name. I left that all generic
after the last time I got spam attacked on one of these groups. We'll see
if it comes up as my real name this time.

Certainly the rotary cost's Mazda a bit more to make, but I would assume
that's true of any automakers flagship engine. They also don't put their
top engine in everything they make. Ever heard of a Dodge Hemi Neon :-)
Seriously, the rotary is a bit of a specialty engine, but those of us who
bet our lives on them believe that those special qualities are what makes
them the best choice. Still, if they have to be in every vehicle on the
road to be a raging success in the automotive world, then I guess they're
not :-)

Breaks over, back to the single rotor in the garage.

Cheers,
Rusty
