After some email exchange and some financial acrobatics, I saw that having something JDM imported would not be impossible. Now I am obsessed with S14s and R33s...

Once again, the Mitsubishi Pajero Evo. A lot of car for the money, but hugely expensive gearbox problems put me off.

They are good looking cars, the Ti ride is a little harsh on rougher surfaces but it's worth it even if it's just down to the fact the alloys are easier to clean. Though if I had another one I'd avoid black like the plague I could never keep mine clean for more than five minutes, red/metallic grey would be the colour of choice... and no diesel under the bonnet.

440i convertibles seem to be depreciating nicely, probably just me looking forward to the summer, and my mid life crisis looming.

Id probably want a diesel in one of those, all the petrol lumps except the 1750 are GM-based junk with cam-chain problems

The 2.4 JTDm should be a suitable compromise, good noise (for a diesel), gobs and gobs of torque and power.

I can feel another midlife crisis coming on, which will do me no good at all... wink

I keep thinking I should chop my Skyline in for something that can go out abit more in winter... so my answer is to stay with something Japanese & imported thus I'm thinking about Chaser's:


There's some doubt in my mind though, I do still love the Skyline every time I drive it and I'm not sure the Toyota is really going to fulfil the handling that I do adore with the Nissan!
More research needed I feel read

Lately it's been this...

Suits me perfectly.

Still a ways to drop to my realms of affordability but it's heading the right direction.

Good call, they're still very much on my car bucket list. Will probably be the last BMW convertible with a folding metal roof since they all seem to be switching back to Fabric now!

I went to look at the Morgan Aero8 (couple of
Pages back) at Bell and Covill a couple of weeks ago. Just not sure it’s worth the cost. Amazing to look at in the flesh and I need to clear some garage space first!

They make lovely looking cars, it's a pity about the reliability. I know 3 people that have owned a modern one and all have had a succession of big bills frown

Sometimes old cars are not classic, just old, and I fear a Jensen would be one of those.
