Car Spotting

What I thought I would do over the next few days is sample a few choice selections available on the Japanese “Goo-net” website, available for purchase, if you have that kind of coin.  Typically, I’ll try and show some of those cars that aren’t particularly common to see available in NZ.  Being I have mostly owned Nissan’s myself, I thought I would start from there, so here goes…

PDL Mustang (the first)

April 2, 2009

Regular readers will remember my small photo entry on PDL Mustang II.  This entry is to cater for the first PDL Mustang,  which although no longer in it’s livery (due to reasons that were mentioned that I’ve subsequently forgot) is still a formidable looking machine.  These photographs were taken back in 2006 at the Teretonga Classic Speed Fest.  As you can see, the massively wide guards and wheel & tyre combo to fit said guards give the car quite an amazing stance.  It’s still sitting period typical with nose down and bum up, but looks sweet for it.

trademe Browsing…

March 31, 2009

What do you do when you’re sitting at work, supposed to be doing stock-take (really I’ve done most of it, I just wanted a little break from it just at the moment) you browse the internet looking for car related things and doofers.  Often you’ll find yourself on trademe.co.nz, imagining buying all manner of badass and peculiar vehicles.  Here’s a few that caught my eye;

First up, a plug for one of the GM-T and oldschool members, his Opel Kadett/Isuzu Gemini Race Car that’s currently for sale;

Holy crap. this guy deserves those ROGLDR plates more than I do.

AW11

My scope shows the tower, but I can't see the exhaust port!

all it needs now are a set of S-foils, an R2 unit riding shotgun and a death star in the background…

more photos of this monstrosity here, halfway down the page.

Check this out, was wandering about the wonder that is JNC today and stumbled across this;

Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R

Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R

Evidently just imported from Japan to the US of A and of genuine nature and not the clone one might believe it to be.  Rather than dribble on about it like a schoolboy.  I’ll let you read the thread on JNC, here;
