Into French and Japanese cars from the 90s. Dad of 2. Makes bad decisions about cars. Should probably put the spanner down.
Best of luck for the next step.

Spotted your rather lovely 306.

Gutted for you, after you put the effort in cleaning it too.

Thanks Rory. Looking forward to seeing your 306, mine is a rusty paint peeling mess so good to see what they should look like.

It's pearl white and a Euro R, but close on both! It's less track day weapon and more a salaryman's express which is why it got posh paint and didn't get the Type R badge.

Nice job. Mine is still at the menders,will hopefully get it back tomorrow otherwise it will be a last minute sub. Both are disgusting so it might be an early morning wash. My neighbours already think I'm mental.

I don't want a short hike to make a drink thanks! I wonder about this for very large houses, if you're not quite loaded enough to have staff, what does your step count look like? I'm too lazy for a big house.

Hope it goes well.

A fair amount of new builds here are 3 storey 'town houses' to make the most of the land. And a lot of them have kitchen on the ground floor and living room on the first, which would drive me mad. But both on the first would be fine.

Probably not, but had to look up what a cornering bulb was so I'm no authority.

The JDM kouki aero is my favourite and the US / Euro kouki my least.

The front and back don't match on the non-JDM, the front bumper is wider and squared off but the rear tapers in. Looks all wrong from certain angles. The JDM looks cleaner and more balanced.

You're right about the liberties, they aren't the same car.

The hot wheels one is right hand drive and I'm guessing all 240sx were left. Also the hot wheels one has the JDM style front bumper and wrap around indicators, not the same as the F&F car.

Love the S14(a). But here's a geek out question, is it really a 240sx? I'm thinking probably not based on the picture.

Are the brown spots underneath?Boot floor, damper pick up points, back of the sills and or jacking points by any chance?
August 8, 2025 at 7:14 PM
Obviously I'm in no way interested in it whatsoever...

It's a no pas, no sunroof car, I don't think there were any other options? Any mods, original exhaust, suspension, intake?

Unfortunately not, so I won't be able to buy it.😁
August 8, 2025 at 1:20 PM
Hopefully just the battery, but it was doing odd things before everything stopped working, so we'll see once I've replaced it.

I'll hopefully be at Rustival in the Accord. I say hopefully because it's not working at the moment.

It's 90s Japanese USDM base spec with some light patina for me. More likely a Honda, Civic, Accord or Odyssey.

Yeah, you win!

Working hard chasing friends in faster cars on track, 2 Caymans in the Clio and a NC in the Accord (and killing a tyre).

Going from Garda to Como in a rented Panda in a very convoluted route (no satnav).

Driving overnight to my brother's on the north coast of Scotland.

It's good when people identify themselves as someone I want nothing to do with, saves a lot of time.
