I know that Bob Bracey died several years ago and I understand that the factory records may not be available and/or may be incomplete at this time.

With all the questions we Mera owners have about our rides can't we just get a hold of Bob Bracey, or anyone from the old Creative Concepts, they can't all be dead?

I am not certain if she is still alive but I had (and may still have somewhere on my computer) the actual registration information (including address) and/or bill of sale for her white 88 Mera with auto transmission. I looked at purchasing the car but thought the owner's price was a bit high for the vehicle. He eventually sold it while I was overseas but that was OK by me.

From the wiki.....whos at the door? ohhh yeah MAILMAN!!! TAILPIPES!!!! gotta go!!
Himura KenshinFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search In this Japanese name, the family name is "Himura". Himura Kenshin Rurouni Kenshin character
Himura Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki
Himura Kenshin (緋村 剣心?), known as Kenshin Himura in the English-language anime dubs,[4] is a fictional character from the Rurouni Kenshin universe created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. He is the main protagonist of the manga and anime series, as well as the related media in the franchise. When creating Kenshin, Watsuki designed him to be the physical opposite of Hiko Seijūrō, a character that appears in Watsuki's first one-shot manga, "Crescent Moon in the Warring States"; a character with the same name appears in Rurouni Kenshin as Kenshin's swordsmanship teacher.
Kenshin's story is set in a fictional version of Japan during the Meiji period. Kenshin is a former legendary assassin known as "Hitokiri Battōsai" (人斬り抜刀斎?)[note 1] (rendered as Battousai the manslayer in the Media Blasters English anime dub,[4] as Battousai: The Slasher in the Sony English dub,[7] and as The Unsheather on the Japanese kanzenban covers), more properly named Himura Battōsai (緋村抜刀斎?). At the end of the Bakumatsu, he becomes a wandering samurai, now wielding a sakabatō (逆刃刀?, lit. "reverse-blade sword"), a katana that has the cutting edge on the inwardly curved side of the sword, thus being nearly incapable of killing. Kenshin wanders the countryside of Japan offering protection and aid to those in need, as atonement for the murders he once committed as an assassin. In Tokyo, he meets a young woman named Kamiya Kaoru, who invites him to live in her dojo despite learning about Kenshin's past. Throughout the series, Kenshin begins to establish lifelong relationships with many people, including ex-enemies, while dealing with his fair share of enemies, new and old. Through these encounters and relationships, Kenshin begins to find true atonement for his past enabling him to fully conquer his "Battōsai" nature.

You know you own a Mera when two people can manage to piss off a lot of people in just a matter of hours?
I'm just going to attempt to stay out of it, you guys (not all) just want to play too rough. And some how managed to . . . . . no I'm not going to say it, I will let time play out and watch and see.

You buy a "winter driver" for $2,000.00, add "Winter tires & wheels" for $1,000.00, just so your Mera can be safe from the nasty old snow & salt! (we gotta be sick)

Ha Ha, it's still alive! I can't believe it, we started this with 12 inches of snow on the ground, and now it's May! Sweet, proves you can't keep a good (funny) thread down. Keep it going guys.
When...You "fold yourself" into the Mera to go 2 miles for milk, twice.
- When you cannot find "stock" size tires for your car - You know that sound when the rear deck gives out and it smacks your head - When scrapping the front lip causes you to cringe because you know it is fiberglass that is scrapping - When people try to point out that "real" 308s did not come in fiberglass and that they were faster that a Fiero - When you cannot part it in a public parking lot with out worrying the whole time. - When you wake up in the middle of the night at a hotel just to check to make sure no one is touching your car. - When you car is appraised and insured for $25k even though you are no where close to that number.

- hopefully its the air dam....at least thats what i tell myself -actually the very first Ferrari 308's were Fiberglass....stick that in their pipe and punch them in the chest -i feel that totally!! -i sleep in mine -Damn....thats a shinney penny pre premimum i bet
oh well you got to love em...these Mera are different and fun to play with.
"......WHEN"... a hole in the muffler sounds like a tune up!! hahahahaaaa..... i recently fixed my pipes and its qiuet.....too quiet

Man! That could be mine (8019) in the second pic. No back up lights and red!!! AWESOME STUFF!!!
well, i am not too sure....i think this was shot in 1987. i only say this for the fact that, all the Mera have the diamond spoke wheels, no Cromodora.
but seeing as you have a low 1988 Mera # .....maybe. it is my belief that the Yellow one on that truck is #7029 which was/is in SanDiego, CA for sale as we speak.
these are the little things i am after this year....when did the Cromodoras show on a Mera? when did the Manual Mirror switch happen?? i am also curious as to the pointed alum eng grill. i wanna know if CC started rounding them or if its a Mod the actual owners have done.
FUN FUN FUN!!!
later daniel

"when........" you have to use the 16" spare from you Jeep Cherokee because of the large aluminum spacers needed to fit the Mera wheel wells
thankfully i caught this in the garage and not on the road. the 'NEW' spare dont fit in the front compartment. damn! there goes the trunk space its better than walking....tho
