I'll probably get booed off the forum but has anybody seen this book?
Revolution - Japanese Performance Car Culture in NZ
http://www.trademe.co.nz/books/nonfiction/transport/other/auction-593439586.htm
Its got a bit on a few older Japanese race-cars, including a few pages on Tony Rutherford's old RX2.
Picked my copy up for $5 from the Warehouse!

Hi Tony,
There are a couple of sub-$20 copies on Trademe right now. Your car is one of the most featured individual cars so well worth getting a copy. I assume you've slready got a copy of the history of Rotaries in NZ - you and the Green Machine get a few pages there too.
Cheers,
Paul.

Love this shot Nigel
Don't score to many points Tony, not enough tyre smoke and it should be going 'blip,blip,blip' ie limiter,limiter,limiter, not brap brap brap. Those days there was a thing called Torque/grunt and throttle control. And drifting is new.
