    Might be a rice-burner, but these are achingly cool cars. I would love to get my hands on one.

    It`s this guy`s determination, teaching himself along the way, despite setbacks at every turn. Eventually ending up with a great car and deserved praise. :clap:

    1971 KGC10 `Hakosuka` 2000GT Skyline. 2.8 litre straight six on triple Webers... [:D] [8D]

    I would love to get my hands on one of these. A mint Rs1600i, which to be fair, are really hard to find these days.

    I'm not too keen on Fords tbh, as ive always had VW's, but i would make the exception of having one of these.
    They just look so old school. :thumbup:

    There is just something about them that i like sooo much. Hopefully one day i'll have one.
