greeneyes - August 15, 2004 12:37 AM (GMT)
I'm Keith, I'm over 50, & I bought Greeneyes for my wife's Xmas in 2001, for $43000. (aren't you guys lucky they have got so cheap!!)
It is a '99 RS200Z with no mods except a Cusco rear sway, and the only things planned are a light flywheel & new shocks sometime. When the 3SGE gets old I'll get Boothy to fit a 4.3L V8!
I started off with a burnt-out 1949 Armstrong Siddeley when I was 15, (that was in 1964 for you mathmatically-challenged youngsters!) and still owned it while I had a Mini Cooper (an original Mark 1) and a Lotus Europa. The car previous to the Altezza was an '88 turbo, manual Nissan Cifero. The gaps in between included stacks of rally-equipped P510 Datsun 1600s, of which there is still one in the garage downstairs.
I don't like straight roads or dragging. Skill shows in 4 wheel drifts!
:P
