    Can you please keep it safe in a locked garage?! Otherwise temptation will get the better of me! :)

    :thumbsup:

    I wish i had a garage. I'm glad it has a quick release for the steering wheel though.

    I had a car already stolen in front of my house before.

    On the other hand, who would steal a car like this, it's not like you can drive around in it unnoticed :harhar:

    Will there be falling snow untill the weekend in the UK by the way?

    I'm checking the flight cancellations on Birmingham airport daily, so far it seems ok. Hope it stays that way untill saturday morning.

    god im jelious, if you eva wanna get rid let me know!

    Sorry man :lol:

    I'll let you know if i ever sell it.

    I've a very bad track record in keeping cars, with about a year as the longest.

    Altough i can't see me selling this within a year this time, it's just to special.

    lol I bet you are! There were some other minters around when I was looking but they were asking upwards of 9k for one!

    It'll be very tempting to drift in it but Im sure you'll exercise discretion on that one :lol:

    This one was for sale for 6k.

    It's a lot of money for a '86 car, but you don't get a lot of chances to buy such a nice one.

    It's also the perfect colour, i wouldn't bought one with a different colour.

    Only problem is Dutch mot, they are not that fond of wide wheels.

    Probably have to get some different wheels for that.

    My Glanza got picked up an hour or so ago, so it's a good time to introduce my new car.

    Since knowing my Glanza was sold i was looking for something RWD or maybe a 4WD.

    Cars i was looking for where an S14, Evo 4, Impreza type R, Mr2's.

    Untill i saw this car on Driftworks. It was for sale before but the guy selling it wanted to keep it.

    I told my brother on the phone that if that car would ever be for sale again i would buy it, what would you know, the next day it was for sale again :lol:

    I always had a soft spot for Trueno's since watching Inital D, like most people :)

    Altough i found them way overpriced and stated i would never buy one with these ridicoulus prices i found one that's just perfect.

    So next week i'll be in Birmingham picking it up.

    Some pictures of it now in the UK:

    What you listen to mostly these days ? i love gabber but i'm more into the Hardstyle :p .

    Indie-Rock :p

    Listening to a lot of british bands like foals and glasvegas.

    I listened to gabber when it was really popular here in the 90's. Sometime's i still listen to some records when i'm with friends.

    So i'm just gonna post oldschool stuff, i don't know anything about the new stuff :p

    That is, if i can remember the damn titles of records :lol:

    Loving this car - but why the last time you enter? Not selling up are you?

    Yep it's for sale and i may have a buyer.

    Wanted to go drifting for a long time and decided to have a go at it.

    So i need something RWD.

    One of my dream cars is up for sale i need the fund to hopefully buy it.

    Toby's picture is amazing.
