So in 6 months you will have $85k for a 14 year old car...one would be assuming that would be savings as a bank wouldn't loan that amount on that age car ?

I would be buying a house, or another house if you own one already ...

Well if u like Fezza's so much buy my wifes MR-S and put one of those try-hard bodykits on it . . .

Anyways, from my experiences with hi performance bikes, owning and riding Italian ones is very frustrating(and expensive but ignoring this) compared to their Japanese rivals.

I put over $60K into a few Mazda RX's over the years so not fussed about 85K for basically a new car.
I paid almost 75K for a Audi A4 8 years ago and that was a mistake as struggling to sell it for more than $12K.
We also lost $40K in 2 years on a SLK . . .should I go on???

I love my cars/bikes but have to be a bit more careful due to economic conditions in recent times.

This ^^^

It shits me every time a beautiful peice of automotive engineering is "moth-balled" and becomes just another dust collector.

Cars deserve to be driven and if its a proper balls-out performance car then they should be driven hard from time-to-time.

It is just something I could never do, if I have spent the money and worked the hours to buy a car (no matter what car) I am going to drive it.

There are a couple of B-regs, a conversion and when it comes to personally imported ones there's one on the mainland and one on Christmas island.

There's also now a S206 over east which was bought in via race rally rego and will be used as a track car.

JDM_Style has the blue S204. Havent seen it in a while, he might show up.

There is an S201 in Perth as well, but it wont show up.
There is also a B-reg S202, but it is only used for track work.
Will try turn up for the Langley Park meet weather pending but need to bail @ 10 and can't join the cruise part as I have other business to attend to.

Ramon works on Sundays so the 201 won't be coming.
