I'll have to buy that Hakosuka model, I'll never be able to buy the real thing.

I still think that the Hakosuka is the best looking car Nissan has ever built. It's funny how, even 20 yrs later, the 32-34 still looked remarkably like it. I need a model Hakosuka and a model R380 on my desk at work sitting nose-to-nose, two greatest Nissans ever;)

EDIT: Long Live Fender Mirrors!!!!

My friend told me that I think burago were making them. He's a compulsive liar, so i'll have to ask him about it...

well, these are not the metal ones, but they're relatively cheap:

Ok, this proves I'm right. There is a toy on that site that shows a GIRL with a BLACK FD. I have seen toys for this character before, for a long time, but whoever she is, she has not yet been introduced in 4th Stage. This means that 4th stage must have existed in Manga form before the recently-released anime.

Does ANYONE know where to get it? Translated or not...

I might be Kiesuke Ryoske's girlfriend. I think thats what she was driving when I raced her in the arcade. Im gonna say that its a 80% chance that its her.

ok, what black fd? and I used to know where to get the manga, but I have so little time to watch it, let alone read it. I'd try kazaa, dc, or irc.

Wow, I forgot about that site. I used to collect those model cars (I got about 30 or 40 1:18 model cars, but I haven't added to the collection in years). But anyway, I bet I've bought 10 cars of mine off that site. Whenever there was a car I wanted but couldn't find, I went to that site. I got a McLaren F1 and Aston Martin DB7 in 1:18 off that site back when nobody else had them, when both those cars first came out. I've also got a 1:43 300ZX convertable I think I bought from them years ago.

Like I said, there's a girl that you race(Kinda tough) in the Initial D arcade game. I believe she drives a black FD and she also claims to be Kiesuke's girlfriend. Unless she's in Stage 4 episode 5, they havent released the show that she's in yet. I have all 4 stages on my computer right now and I havent seen her yet.

BTW that reminds me. Does any1 have or know where to find stage 4 episode 5? It came out last month, but I dont think its has been translated and ready to download yet.
