nah, he's just trying all these excuses to make me buy anything other then a skyline, think I've worn him down, just had a call from him, he's still gonna shout me $3k of the cost as a 21st birthday pressy + next xmas or something, until I actually have it, I think he'll still try and reason with me to change but I haven't budged yet.

i think in this day an age... i personally would buy something other than a skyline. not to discourage you, but it really depends on what you want to do with it? track? cruise? drift? show? etc... from there you can decide.

my younger brother just bought his first car... cost the same as my skyline (back 4 years ago) - but is 8 years younger, more comfortable, effortless through the twisties, bucket seats, etc etc, ohh that's factory standard.. needless to say, i was the one that chose it for him, and i am madly jealous.

Im lost, whats this topic about???

My dad is back in town for the weekend and he has a 2001 Mustang SVT Cobra (plates are "STANG1") that sits in storage while he's overseas. It attracts a bit of attention around town. I've finally decided to start getting finances together to get a car and picked a nice Series 2 R33. He has over the past 5 days tried every day for at least an hour to get me to pick something else to buy. All the while we're looking around, people see the car and decide to squeal tyres or something past it, quite a few (not all though) being Skylines :stupid:.

I told him I'd post a thread about it, so here it is. Don't really seem to need to worry any more since he said he'll still pay a chunk, so just give a toot as you go past if you see him around, no need to be a dick about it :)

Yeah, I've already told him off for being a ford bogan, tomorrow is his last day in the country, so it'll be his last chance to try and get me to change my mind. Oh well. At least I should have a new car within a couple of weeks (this is taking too long :stupid:).

    • I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol
    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something
