Fix It Again Tom

November 15, 2009

International jetsetter Tomstament has returned to our shores after a bunch of months holed up at some coal mine power station somewhere in the north of England (though before that, he was gallivanting round Croatia, Italy and the likes – lucky bugger). Anyway, I see his time spent in southern Europe has not diminished his unholy love for the Fiat, since it was during a layover in Singapore on his way back to NZ that he sent me a message on MSN asking if I’d like to go see some “rusty Fiat wagon” (his words, not mine!) on the Saturday after his return.

never actually having seen a Fiat wagon of any sort prior to 1980 before, I did oblige… and yeah, ’twas rustastic. But awesome.

4-VALVE DOCH RS-TUBRO

November 8, 2009

Someone with cash needz to buy this, because you knows you wanna. And $10k probably wouldn’t get you one out of Japan shipped and complied with the way our peso currently is. It’s even got the oh-so-leet Jenesis rear spoiler and ADthree end caps, a sign of quality DR30-ness. But are some decent photos of the vehicle too much to ask for?

if you is in Dunedin, go have a look at it and tell me if it’s any good.

K, check. D, check. R30, check.

However do bear in mind that moar dish and moar slam are required with urgency. And Michael will probably give you shit because he’s all about the trip-slat, and this be iron-nose all up in yo’face.

Just hoping it doesn’t end up in the hands of some TC bastard. That would suck.

Covered in Goo!

November 4, 2009

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…)
