Most of them are now ever-diminishing piles of ferrous oxide  The odd gem does turn up though... *n |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

There's a dark blue 120Y estate I see driving round Rugby whenever I'm there... Original hubcaps and everything! Bit tatty though, must just scrape through the MOT. Old bloke drives it but I haven't tracked him down yet ;D

Hmm...like a wasp to jam, I rushed to this thread.... I've got 3 at the moment! This one is a lot lower now.....   Awaiting restoration...  Comes out when I want to hold traffic up.  Most Datsun owners tend to have several cars, mostly for spares or sheer greed.... Datsun probably sold well over 250,000 here in the seventies alone. Penski's right most have corroded back into the earth, while the rest have been finished off by exporters and banger racers. They do up on a regular basis on Ebay and the owners club always has a few knocking around |

I love that coupe Antdat, the random vent things down the side are great!  BTW; what has happened to Raddat? I met him up at Silverstone doing some drifting, but haven't heard from him since - hope I didn't scare him away |

Does anyone on here have experience of, or know someone who has, brought a car over to the UK from Oz?
Theres such top J-tin available over there the temptation when I look on Ebay usually temporarily turns me into a foaming-mouthed gibbering idiot.
