So many awesome things to look at, so little money to actually buy them.
Nissan S20 Engine
1.5mil JPY and the starting bid is not the reserve. Why does that not surprise me? Imagine how cool it would be to have though. Beyond cool. Immense.
Of course, for 10% of the starting bid of the S20, you could actually own an RB26;

I’d rather it was the S20 spinning my wheels but I’d not turn down an RB26… …anyone?

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.

You may have noticed from the post a few days ago that I have a new (old) car. Perhaps more accurate to say that I have another car. It seems I can’t help myself though I’m sure had the same opportunity arisen in your daily grind, you’d have done the same thing.

For those who have not been told, the following is the (brief?) story of how this amazing example of a 260C came into my possession…
TADA! Straight from the shores of Japan itself!

You would have thought the weather would be fine by now so I could actually start slapping the engine back together but guess what? It isn’t.
SOON THOUGH, SOOOOOOON!
Cheers, Ewan.
