Something for the Rice Rocket fans
Dare I say this car could be fun. But not at that price.

Needs about £20K price drop seeing it needs loads of work and an engine.

I like it, but I'd rather have an original.Carl wrote:Right up your street Dave
Done the Jap stuff. Great but a bit too clinical for me (they don't break and they start on time).
Only car I'd go for is a R32 GTR (with these Rota's on it (only change id make)
or Factory UK Mk4 Supra TT with these on.
Always liked the SWB 300ZX TT too, still think its one of the best looking cars of its time!
Like them but would probably put my money into 60/70/80's classics before Jap again!!

I loved my 300zx had 4 of them 1 jap import and Auto the other 3 UK Manuals all Twin Turbo though, the only ones to have in manual of course. Yes I agree they are a gorgeous looking car. I had a guy come up to me once and ask what make it was? I told him its a Nissan. He frowned at me looked at the car and said Nissan don't make cars like this! I replied, your right, not no more they don't!

Just sold my GTR R33 to buy a Mopar - when you think these cars are now falling into the classic car status ( 1990's ) and to this date I've never driven anything as fast and that handles as good in my life - and it was 22 yrs old.
Back to yank muscle now though - ain't no substitute.
A cracking video to watch if you've got 5 mins spare.

this was my track day warrior
440 bhp back in 1999 that was the fastest car id ever had
drove to morroco in the 2002 cannonball run one of the most ridiculas things ive ever done
only jap car ive ever loved and will probably be the last, they were a revolution at the time and really did move the performance goal posts

One if the reasons I sold mine Paul. It made me do silly things and I knew it was only a matter of time.
Lifes Too Fast But The Car`s Not, It even managed to miss the boat twice.
Now passed customs.
Now on route.
Now in posession.
Now costing me sh*t loads.

I dunno how you could drive one and have the willpower NOT to drive it like a tw*t. I had a Fireblade for a while and it was so easy to ride soooo fast and so hard not to !JohnS wrote:db wrote:The GTR is the only modern (relatively...) car that would tempt me.
