perfect match (by decypher the code)

Got OCD much?

1983 red and black iron mask KDR30 turbo is the best kind of Skyline. Michael will probably disagree with me here, but what would HE know? :P Read on to see my “STRONGEST SKYLINE” Goo-net picks of the week:

Bertone cars

July 1, 2009

Was browsing wikipedia and figured I would do a post about some Bertone cars and concepts that i thought were choice.

In an attempt to bring another shade of things outside the Japanese spectrum, I found myself wandering over to where else but the mighty RR, safe in the knowledge that there was bound to be at least a dozen items that would catch my eye.
