Skylines

No duh it's rare in the US, that's because they aren't sold in the US. And I agree, Skylines are over-rated. A saw a comparison chart between I think it was a '04 Skyline GTR R34 and a '98 Supra something-or-other and the Supra kicked the crap out of it.

I thought you could have right-hand drive in the US. You just can't buy cars already right-hand drive in the US.

I driven a righthand drive Ford Focus for a few days (worked for Ford 2 months while studing for salesmanager before working for Toyota for just over 2 years, but now I am going offtopic again)

the only disadvantage I noticed was going trough the MacDrive...

MacDrive??? Please explain. Is that like the drive-through for a McDonald's or something?

Post by **TheStig** » 02 Jul 2005, 08:19

yep.. forgot what it was called in the US (and perhaps other countries) but here it is called a McDrive (in English so not translated)

Uhhh, I'm confused... There are right and left hand driven cars where you are?

Post by **TheStig** » 02 Jul 2005, 08:26

uuh not normally but the company where I worked did export cars to England (new and 2nd hand) don't ask me how it works exactly cause if I am not mistaken the Focus is build in England

but for some reason we exported and also improted cars from and to the UK and other countries.
so I thought it was funny to drive a day or 2 in a right hand drive car

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 02 Jul 2005, 08:28

So the majority of the cars in your country are left-hand-drive, but....(checks previous page...)

...OH, you said DISadvantage, oooook, I get it now.

bah. when I was 13 I dreamed of a Z/28 camaro. now I have something more practical, cheaper to insure, flies under the radar, and smokes that Z/28 I wanted.

age 13 to age 16, 18, 21 etc... reality and wants change drastically.

That's a really exact estimate.

1 out of every 10,000,000 cars are right-hand-drive. Since when are there 10 million people let-alone cars in the country you live in?

Post by **TheStig** » 03 Jul 2005, 04:30

eh there are 16 million people here!

it was as a figure of speach DUH! but normally nobody drives a righthand drive... but to be honest I was thinking of Importing a japanese sportscar from the UK cause they are alot cheaper then they are here. for instance you can get a Supra there for like 15.000 euro while they cost over 30.000 here! (35.000 dollar) but the righthand stuff is not so handy...
a 02 Integra would be nice also... but they aren't sold here also..

it would be something original the older 99 Integra was sold here but for some reason the new one is not (in US the 02 Integra is known as Acura RSX for those who didn't know)

I am still on the look out for a 2000+ Toyota Celica T Sport (192 bhp) but they remain rather high priced (around 20.000 euro) and I want a blue one and they are on average higher priced then a other color

)

till that time I will use the company 206 for everything

Yea kid, you don't want a skyline. I drove my dad's Lexus down I-20 in Georgia, and was going 90 and didnt realize it. Thats 215, a skyline has about 280 HP. Now, even if you THINK that you will be able to afford a Skyline in 3 years, it is going to run you around $30 or $40 G's. Old ones can get pretty cheap. But you gotta worry about drive-thrus, the Metric system(skylines use kilometers and KMPH), and such.

May be my Uncle gift to me his 99' Peugeot 306 , is a nice car , i drove it many times , but it is not to powerfull

it only have 135 hp , i was thinking in a ECU system , turbo , and any more to plug up the performance , you was to have sawed me watching any car (Peugeot 306) in my city to view th posibilities of spoiler kits , carbon fiber , mirrors , etc .
