Wish my parents would buy me a car , they wouldnt even lend me $1 for a bus.....

[Nizmo]

advantages of being an only child i guess ........

Ive been told not to expect any Xmas or Bday presents for the next 10 years tho

Thanks Adrian :grouphug: .....ever tried to convince a Trev to buy a japanese car .... i tell ya it took a lot of begging to change his mind oh and a couple of test drives !!

But back to the topic .... i think with popularity of movies like Fast N Furious etc .... its going to influence the younger generation of car buyers to buy imports ..... so your likely to see more yet not less .......

Nope, I dont care if you're given the car or your parents took out a loan for you, I just dont think people that young should be driving such a powerful car straight up. I'm not saying I'm a better driver than a p-plater, but I've sure had more experience driving than a p-plater. Doesnt have to be a turbo'd car to be powerful plenty of v8's, v6's even some 4 cyclinder NA cars. I've just come back from busselton where I saw on several occassion people passing on bends and doing 130-140km/hr on the roads, that reall pisses me off too, cos one day they might end up doing that straight into me. I think its time the government started spending some of the fine money on educting people. Oh and fixing the country roads some of them are shocking.

Rob doesnt matter whether it is a turbo, V8 or 4 cyl ..... a 4cyl can do 140km around corners too .... just takes it a little longer to get there .... but no matter what power car u give them they can still kill themselves in it. Unfortunately theres irresponible people out there and thats never going to change ..... no matter how many kw's their ride is.

But on a personal note i feel that learning to drive in a V8 ..... my first car being a very quick 300zx with a backend that had a mind of its own ..... if anything taught me more about driving than driving around in a 4cyl would!

Hehe but i dont care ive got my license ..... if they want to put power restrictions on they can go ahead ..... no longer effects me but i doubt your going to see much change in the road toll because of it.

Theres definetely alot more r33's on the road this year. I hate to say it but theres more r33's on the road now than WRX's S14's , S15's and whatever other import which was sold locally. Theres not as many as say a SS commodore but it could head that way.

Part of that swayed me into a r32 and not a r33 , oh and the fact they look tougher

[rob77]

bullshit there is more r33's on the road than wrx's.

[dan_the_man]

ahahaha

[33Spec2]

id say rex's and r33's are about equal

[APA]

s15's have gotta be up there though! i see at least three everytime i drive!

adrian:p

[Nizmo]

well ive definately seen more WRX's on the road than R33's by far! I know once u get into the northern suburbs there is a LOT of Skylines to come across ..... but otherwise on the way to work i rarely see another Line - but have sat in traffic surrounded by 4 new shape WRX's.

Unless its on a cruise i cant say i have ever sat in traffic surrounded by Skylines ..... maybe sat in traffic with a maximum of one other and usually they are stockies and look nothing like mine anyway ...... but cant say ive seen clones of my car around.

Doesnt matter - no matter what car u have ..... somewhere there are going to be a similar car .......

lol dude... you also said theres more s14's then R33's. i think your kidding yourself here champ

NIZMO - was you old 300zx a yellow one ?

was talkin to a chick aages ago at the mrs' mates house and this chick had one as her first car.. wouldnt say its common so......

[rob77]

Yup, I see more s14's than r33's around as well. Though I think the s15 is more popular than the s14.

[Nizmo]

Optical, Mines a Black Old Skool Z31 ...... tonnes of fun .... need to get it back on the road tho

[Soulja]

Just abit of topic 2day my mate went and had alook at an 1999 Import S15 MOD 4 $40,000?

Blue, Spec R (i think), Aftermarket Trubo,intercooler ect ect, $4,000 sound system.

Worth the money?

[R32-GTS]

Kidding yaself fella's , Theres alot less s14's than r33's. I think your in denial.

[zanda]

haha.

that's cause the 14s are boats!

eh Cap'n Matty!

[rob77]

shame you cant access rego information over the net, ie: how many s14's are rego'd in perth I do see more s15's than s14's though.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I hate to agree with Simon, but S14's aren't in the plague proportions that R33's are. Pity R32's are so ugly and have a shit engine or I'd buy one instead (j/k)
