Having only owned the car for the last 9 days this wasn’t as impressive as it could have been but still given it’s age, it’s pretty cool;
First Time Round
I deliberately flicked the trip-meter to 8888 as well for DRAMATIC EFFECT! Will almost be a shame when it rolls over to zeroes but cars are made to be driven.

Alright! it’s that time again. Though this time around we’ve got a bit more incentive. With HUGE thanks to Ewan @ Hayatonka.com the winner of this little game will receive a prize! HOLY CRAP! Can you imagine!? So, without further delay here is the vehicle you have to guess;
Prize and Entry Details as follows…
Almsot every day I find myself on Goo-net.com for one reason or an other. Sometimes linked by Ed (Orion) other times by any number of people who like to share in the spoils of the interwebs explorations. Tonight I found myself navigating the seas of Fairlady’s and Skyline’s to find those housing the precious S20 spoils. These were those I found and thought I would in turn share with you lovely people;
First up is what I imagine (though cannot confirm it to be due to lack of details and photographs) is a genuine Fairlady Z432
With a price tag of 9.5mil Japanese Yen, you would hope it was S20 powered. (That’s roughly 145,000NZD at current exchange rates). Obviously the 432 is not the only Z with the S20, the 432R is almost motivated in similar fashion though there are none for sale currently on Goo for me to share but in speaking with Rob from RIVERSIDE I would imagine their prices are likely closer to that of the 110GT-R below… (more…)
Making a Valiant effort to escape the Humber, which isn’t above Holden up things.
That’s right… I went there.
The photos on this post are all taken by padre Richard also known as Snoozin on a few forums here and there. They’re a sweet combination of slightly saddening but entirely impressive collection of a friendly and reasonable hoarding chap. If you like those “Rust in Peace” type pictures then this entry is for you. There’s really no need for me to say anything about the photos, they speak well enough for themselves.
I’ve included some of my favourites in this post but being it would make the post quite large, I’ve included a gallery link at the bottom of the entry so you can view them all via thumbnail of your own accord.
Was searching through some old photos on the computer the other day and stumbled upon one of my old C110, not long after it’s cover-up respray by the looks and wearing it’s standard grille along with a set of what looks like Ward mags. It’s just that little bit hideous, jacked on shallow slots.
Period correct, yet... ...entirely wrong.
Thank custard those days are behind it.
