The Zama vehicle storage facility. (http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=2079707)


I'd never heard of it before today either, but look at all that Nissan history! Awesome!

On Sunny Sundays when I can be bothered to go outside, I sometimes see vehicles like the first few (classics) driving around. I don't not-appreciate seeing them, but I can't say I appreciate seeing them because I can only appreciate the exterior.

BTW my dream car (which I am less and less willing to buy as I think buying a vehicle like this is in-congruent to my lifestyle and personality) is actually a motorcycle. Take a quick peek and tell me if it's worth ... I think the starting price is 50-60k

For that price, it is certainly not worth it. That's not really the point.

It's not a vehicle you buy because it's a wise monetary investment. It's a vehicle you buy because you want to feel like a big kid. If that's what you want, I'm sure that will do the job just fine.

You could however find a donor bike and build your own. They offer kits. Perhaps second hand is an option.

There's a large specialty/enthusiast car and trike segment out there.

Probably the most expensive/extreme one offered is the Caparo T1. (http://www.caparo-t1.com/)

and the grand daddy of the business that's been building little cars like these longer than most.

Good point. Then I guess my only question is if there's any other motorcycles that have the 'WTF IS THAT' factor.
(was going to ask if there were better motorcycles but again, that's not the point)

I've never seen a T-Rex but my brother has seen them in Quebec (where it was invented). So jelly

Do you see that tiny green datsun convertible?

I am going to steal that tiny green datsun convertible.
