Yup. It was just too witty to be an ignorable option, I'm afraid.

I'm a tree.



























Oh; ISWYM.

It won't be as golden as an R34 due to the rocking-horse shit thing. The 'official' import staus will kill that.

I love its superchav appeal and am almost tempted to order one. Although my left brain knows I'm not a 'latest-thing' type and a used example would make more sense.

Will it depreciate more than a VAG/Porsche/Piech? No, because the starting number's much, much lower, but people will look at the headline percentage & insist the Porsche holds its value better.

So in all fairness, any Datsun insults are about right.

And I think Crispy cannot afford one!

That's another

IMHO lowest cost option will be importing a used JDM one once the UK offically bring theirs in
