the streets of melb...

[R31Nismoid]

lately ok....

Around the good old streets of melbourne i've been seeing a LOT... now i mean HEAPS of dead stock R32's (right down to the exhaust) floating around and middle-older aged men driving them.

Now... they are all either grey or black and is worrying me a little bit...

Only because the R32 seems to be turning into what the celica's of the late 80's turned into a few years back where every middle aged bloke with a mid-life crisis is driving them because they are cheap enough for these cheap pip daddy's to afford, and go alright...

And what's worse is they thinkg they are the ant's pants and try and hoon from the lights!

just thought i'd comment on that and see if anyone else is noticing this lately?

[MzDfectd]

hahaha i saw an old man driving a green ser1 r33 yesterday

ahh wells good for them

[predator]

never seen an old guy driving one.. 95% are driving stockies driven by p-platers if u ask me

maybe they've gotten wise after getting the doors of their new SS being ripped off by these young guys in skylines either that or it fell apart and they can't afford to replace it.. lol

[meggala]

hey ash do you have someting against me

[R31Nismoid]

As if anything you drive is standard

I'm talking about those pip daddy's that were driving the stock celica's... now they've seem to have moved to 32's now!

[Evil]

I've seen the same thing but in 300ZXs.

[pushead]

ive seen too many mid-age driving FTO's..

[predator]

300zx is a definite culprut for old man driving..

although just before i saw a 60 year old driving a white R33 GTR

anyway what are you talking about Ash? How many old people drive R31 Skylines, bought new and still looking about 1 year old?

[qikshift]

well damn i have had my r32 for i dunno about a month now, and i have seen 2 r32s since i have had it!!!! i think i fanything they are rarer than 33's in melb.. but i just can't believe i havn't seen any lately? weird shit lol

mark

[R31Nismoid]

yeah... but they are the OZ delivered ones... like commowhores n stuff

And import R31 is the rarest next to import DR30's

[Daz]

Saw an old business man a few days ago driving a R34 GT-T

[SKY031]

I'm getting sick of all the 33's on the road......

We rarely see 32's over this side of town.

I can still remember back in the olden days (about 4 years ago) when you could see a 33 and get excited about it....

now its just "*meh*"

Noticing a lot of 34's around here now, see at least one every day.

Todays one was white with a big T wing.

[akeenan]

r31 skyline chick is correct! i used to yell and stuff when i saw them now im like...well i still lok but the excitement just isnt there anymore

[predator]

wait for them next year.. all those new 89 cars on the road there is going to be an explosion of 32's.. esp amongst P-platers. Worries me a bit actually.

Will put R32's into the class as S13's which i know all you R32 boyz will luv

[predator]

To me the excitement of a R33 isn't in looking at it, but driving it.. so to me i couldn't give a crap whether anybody called it "common".

In fact i couldn't give a shit what a car looks like there is many of any car on the road (except maybe Ferraris and those super cars) Even GTR i see a bit around enough to go...hmmm, GTR, yeah, seen lots of them.

[Champinco]

In order i would rank (most seen to rarely scene) or at least around my area and city:

->R33 series 1 (F!@#en heaps of em)

->R32 stockies (most of em thinking they are GTR's)

->R34 begginging to c heaps of em. heaps...especially after 2f2f

->R33 GTR (aaaawwww goshhhila)

->R32 GTR

->R33 Series 2

->R31

not being biased in anyway cause i have r33 s2. but seriously i have seen more r34 and r32 gtr 's over r33 s2 on my side of town.

and i would even toss up between R34 and R33 GTR (ranking wise)...lately i have seen a fair few r33 GTR's. goshhhila.

but lets not get into this conversation involving other turbo performance vehicles. ie: s13, 14 15, rexies, 200sx, 300 zx etc.. etc... we will be here forever. as long as i dont have a rexy as being the most common turbo car on the street ill b happy. not dissing them but every every tom dick and harry has em. Including 80 yr olds! lol.

[qikshift]

i guess that means i have to have a phatter fast 32 by the so they can't even compare mmmm wide body kit and rb26 conversion HAHHAH

[IOWNU]

R33's are becoming very common in Melbourne, especially in the west side. As Champinco mentioned, R34's are coming in as well, but surely , they aren't more common than R33 GTR's.

Lets not forget the GTSTS with GTR kits and badges. BTW, whats wrong with P-Platers owning Skylines?

[R31Nismoid]

mmm... 33's are the new VL in the west...

no offence to Western people but heaps of them are in 33's now.

and yeah.

31 coupes are rare as hens teeth... then the GTS-R's... even lees of them in Oz than ferrari's i reckon.
