Hello from The UK
Hi this is my first post on this forum, I am based in the UK, and am a member of the NIssan 200sx Owners club UK, http://www.200sxoc.com, just extending the hand of freindship across the waters to like minded folks. We have a very active discussion forum, and our members are from all over . Some nice cars include a 180sx with a skyline gtr engine installed, some heavily modded ca18det engines, ( knife edge cranks , forged pistons/con rods, etc with some good horsepower 200 to about 450+. ) come take a look and take part too.

Hmm, I don't suppose that would go down with Paul Revere, but hey. Thanx for the welcome (despite my Imperialist ancestors).JUst spent half a day removing the speedo pod, installing a new clock lamp bulb and putting orange bulbs in the dash. Then just for fun , (whilst I was at it) ripping out a redundant alarm system. nice'n tidy now. Then I thought why not remount the boot lamp and put a switch on it. arrrgh. 2 hours later , having suspected my wiring skills were not up to scratch, I discovered a flat washer in the boot catch mechanism , jamming it off. another hour and it works like a charm. Sometimes I hate Nissan.:thinker :ylsuper

ohh dont go there
man we had this one mgb that was a michigan car since it was new in 71 , guy drove it to the shop i worked in in florida , i had to get the clutch cyl out of it , i hated that car , man did i hate that car . i think it was made out of solid rust at that point ....
id have to say tho the most fun i had with a brittish car was either the 50s jag xk120 or that TR6 . never got to drive a TR7 but i hear there crap balls anyway so maybe im lucky , we had like 70 british cars out back in the junkyard , old rovers that came stock with buick 235s and other odd stuff like that . then there was the "tank " like a 60s rolls royce cloud2 ..man was that thing huge and you could set off a land mine under it and not even scratch the paint .

Re: ohh dont go there
I got to drive a TR7, a Rover and ride in a Rolls. The TR7 was a great little car to drive. The Rover was another great car to drive. British cars are beautiful to drive when they're working. Shutting the door on the Rolls gives a sound like nothing on earth. Like a bank vault door or something. So incredibly solid sounding. However, while the driving was great, I never owned any of these cars. That is a different experience, altogether.Stoneage_Turbo wrote: never got to drive a TR7 but i hear there crap balls anyway so maybe im lucky , we had like 70 british cars out back in the junkyard , old rovers that came stock with buick 235s and other odd stuff like that . then there was the "tank " like a 60s rolls royce cloud2 ..man was that thing huge and you could set off a land mine under it and not even scratch the paint .
"To drive" and "to own" are very different experiences especially when applied to English motors.motor=car
