Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

What's the point of having it if you're never going to drive it?! Its still only a car.

I say this because my Dad had an XY GTHO from 1999 to 2007 - and he drove it everywhere! He drove it to Bathurst (NSW) and around part of the track in a club sprint, He took it to Ballarat Vic, and also drove it at least a couple of times a month. Sure the car was worth in excess of 200k when he sold it, but why have such a good car if you can't drive it?! In all the kms and years the car still appreciated in value because it was what it was - a VERY unique motor car. Wrapping it in cotton wool and storing it in a shed is boring.

My boss is the total opposite. He likes to brag to everyone how many km his S2 VS Calais has, 29,000km in total so far. Wow, mint Calais I wonder how much the resale on that is after all that hard work? $5,000?

He is going to buy a new Hilux for work thanks to the 45% tax back on new work vehicles, I highly doubt it will leave his shed and his VL will still do all the work duties.

Why do Italians have the fascination of keeping average cars garaged so heavily?

I'm of Italian background and I certainly don't have a 'fascination of keeping average cars garaged so heavily'.

Why do some people like to make generalisations?

You're generalising now about people making generalisations :D

Most italians I've met get their cars out regularly.

I read the above and had to have a laugh about Kingswood Country. :D
