Rare sighting...

[SaVas]

OK so I have seen many different kinds of cars, and living now in the Midwest USA rare cars are a rare sight, but every day during my lunch hour, to get away from the office, I go park in a shopping center parking lot next to I-44, and sit there either napping or watching cars go by.

So Im watching cars come down the access road, and I see something silver that looks familiar, and I had to triple take because as it passed me, I had to smile ear to ear and laugh afterwards.

A silver Nissan Skyline R33 GT-R with right hand drive and Missouri license plates passed by. I have always loved Skylines and know that you can get one in the states if you pay a hefty fee, but never thought I would see one.

it made my day.

I was hoping for something better than a Nissan when I saw this.

Yah I love skylinese myself, I occasionally see a R33 drive around where I live , all white ...a sleeper. But still doesn't beat the Ferrare 575 I found in a city where I live downtown....now that was cool!

Being as I live near a posh  (if you could call anywhere in Brum that ) You see all sorts of nice cars. Couple of Ferrari 360's a brand new DB9 couple of M5's and I have even seen a lambo a couple of times.

seeing skylines isn't as rare as it used to be anymore, where i live in runcorn i've counted:

2x Ferrari 550's
3x R34 Skyline
2x R33 Skyline
1x R32 Skyline (226bhp standard)
1x Lambo (model from the mid 1970's)
2x TVR Tuscan Speed 12's
and a Dutton (owned by my friend with a V12 engine in it).

and i live in an insurance rated High zone.

Well all, in Missouri, a Skyline is EXTREMELY rare, even moreso than highline supercars.

Ive seen more Ferraris, Lambos, Rolls, Bentleys, Astons, Lotus, GT40s, etc on the roads around here, but in my 36 years the R33 is the first ever Skyline.

[Mynameisnemo]

i do have to admit though out of all the latest supercars that are out there, if the chance came for me to own a skyline and pay the insurance on it i certainly would.

GT40s

that is certainly a rareity by all means, any chance that if you see one of these lurking around could you get some shots?

  My local Ford dealer has two GT's sitting in the showroom.  If your interested send me a check and i'll drive it to you.  It might take a week or two or three!!

 Now an original GT40 would be a very rare sight to see on the road.

My local car dealers sells anything from Rolls Royce's BEntley's Viper's Ferrari's Porches Lambo's but no Skylines.... unfortunately

[BMan1113VR]

Yah skylines are rare in the states, I have seen more enzo's than i have skylines (r32, r33, and r34 combined)

[LVA157]

Here in Andover we have around 5-6 GT-40's, 2 Ferrari 360's, a BMW M6, plenty of porsches, 1 R34, 1 R33, no Lambo's and tons of boy-racers (we alway's race 'em )

Trust me mate, they are one of the "better" cars in existance!

Unbelievable performance, from some equally mad power outputs! - Not beyond possibility to get over 1000bhp from the things!
