If i could just interject here....

I am an Aussie Living in NZ, and to be quite honest i have had to bear quite a bit of abuse thrown my way, but that is still no excuse to bite back.

if r34_296 KW wants to say something derogatory, let him, he's the one making a dick of himself, there is no need to try and accentuate it otherwise you will end up in the same boat as him.

as for whoever drives what, in the end it's if you feel happy with what you drive, not if some other guy is. let him be happy with his purchase and you be happy with yours. I find each car has it's merits and weaknesses, and can understand each purchase when it is put unto perspective.

the R34 skyline is actually quite a "God" car over here because NZ gets a lot of old Japanese imports, and also Jonah Lomu has one. they are performance icons wherever you go but are almost accessible here, retailing newish for around $115,000 NZ (Maybe $100,000 Au, depending on exchange.)

CRX's, Legacy (Liberty) RS's, Evo 1's,2's and 3's are all within reach of youth over here, and they modify them "Hard Out" a'la Fast and Furious. but i have a bone to pick with Kiwi Drivers of these cars, DON'T BE SO BLOODY RECKLESS! I have a friend which recently ended up in hospital after handbraking around a roundabout and into someones house at 80 Kay. His Lancer was totaled, $3,000 front spoiler and all, and he is left with the bill. Just think about what your gonna do before doing it, ay!


as for the 120y, why indeed.
as for the Sunny, nice car for it's time, which has passed.
