Hi guys ('n girls).

I hope you all do know that Felix Wankel would have had his 100th birtday on 13.08.2002!

He was born in Lahr (southern germany) and there are some bigger events during the next time.

They show the 1st time the Mazda 787B which won LeMans in 1991.

I hope you all will take a second to think of this man. Without him you would probably drive some *#**!*

Cheers Dom
