A couple of photos from a superb story at - "Owner Tours USA ..."

These photos bring back memories of the Fairlady and the inevitable comparisons with the contemporary MGB. This roadster was an important step in the changing perceptions of Japanese cars back then. I cringe a little when viewing the beach photo, since their key weakness was rust!

I like the stories in the beautifully-produced video below

ah, they´re iddenticall, but hey, PD does it with the miatas and skylines, so why not? :lol:
 
Love this car. I was first introduced to it in GT4 doing some classics or weight limited event, where I found it quick for its age.

GT5, this thing stock on CH was awesome fun. I'd literally use it for anything, time trial shaving off a few tenths, or drifting (the last corner on Deep Forest, you could come in sliding all 4 wheels with the speed you'd built up from the previous straight, trying to nail the exit without ending up in the guardrail).

They made the 2000GT premium, admittedly it's a little higher profile but at least it shows they're not all about the latest GTR.

Love this little car.

Oh and an MGB (or MGA!) would be nice!
