1. You would make your point more effectively if you used spellcheck. Or, alternately, learned to spell.
2. There are very good reasons the Skyline was not brought to the US, and turbos and horsepower have NOTHING to do with them. These can be easily found by a search, and some reading.
3. Your statements are ignorant of the facts. (look that word up, I'm using the real definition) I'm pretty sure the exchange rate has NOTHING to do with Skylines.
4. Don't be a hater.

Also, you used the GBP symbol not the Euro one. Currency exchange rate has nothing to do with this. Exchange rate is determined by FOREX

Any news skyline vandel's skyline? Also there has been evidence of drug runners between Texas and Louisiana using skylines and wrx also the cars are soo super up they haven't been caught. My friend was doing 70 MPH on I20 headed east and got rear ended by skyline also I was driving a limo and got ran off the road by two unbelievable fast wrx and when I called the state troopers they were about 70 miles away from Texas state line but while on the phone the bossier and Shreveport police and sheriffs department couldn't catch them and transferred me to texas state trooper 200 miles from the Texas line and still no one caught them. I say they had twin Turbo 1000 HP doing 300 MPH. Those wrx's were drifting around 70 MPH turns(your everyday turns on the interstate ) at 300 MPH the most amazing thing I have ever seen. That and the twin Turbo supra on you tube but those subaru's could beat that supra. When they did slow down to 55 in downtown Shreveport interstate they burned out in all the gears they had left until they topped out.

We're back online as of November actually.

As for my car, well as I told everyone a few years ago, they didn't really "take" my car.... they took a empty shell on some old Buick wheels with flat tires. Long story short, a particular ICE agent falsified their statement which was accepted as fact in the case and left me with few options. ICE agent got to kept her job and I grew tired of legal fees after 2 years so I let them keep the shell. Typcal story in any case dealing with the government, just look at all the DHS cases that have hit mainsteam media over the past 2 years.

2013 is a new start and I expect to see a "nicely" modded '92 240 coupe driving around later ;)
