It’s been a long time since I’ve been to The Churrazco meet at Markham Park, probably since the first meet. I just finished some aesthetic modifications on my 1987 Turbo II and decided to snap some pics while I was there. The Churrazco Meet is the largest RX/Rotary car show in the south east. All RX bodies and Rotary powered vehicles are welcome and it was a great turn out. RX-7s, RX-3s and Rotary powered Starlets and Samurais were all in attendance.
