Yes this also crossed my mind, I still see Mk4 Supras quite frequently on the road. Perhaps only a R34 GTR once a year.

You’re contradicting your own earlier post now. Price is down to supply and demand. So if there are fewer R34s and demand (presumably at least partially based on desirability) is the same, they’re going to be more expensive.

I really don’t get the pricing of R34s, but I guess that makes R33s a bargain.

I'm yet to see any proof there are significantly less R34s than R33s. The quick search I did had 11.5k R34, 16k R33 and 44k R32. That doesn't account for R34s being over double the price of R33s.

No, Fast and Furious does though. Lego never made an R33 but they did make a stickered up R34.

Quite an interesting vid if you want to brush up on the history of the skyline GTR:

I miss having a van. For no particular reason. Just because.

Was discussing Vianos with another school dad earlier. They've got four under six, and their Zafira just isn't cutting it. He was thinking about getting one with that layout.

Yikes. His poor wife.

Viano is probably a bit overkill when they're still little but I guess they'll turn into four teenagers at some point, so that's pretty much six adults + luggage for a family holiday. So yeah. You could squeeze them into something smaller (like your Galaxy ?) but going a size up makes it a lot more civilised. If he can get a nice Viano (not a suspiciously cheap one like I posted) that'll do them for 10+ years of family stuff.

They might be small, but their seats take up a lot of space, and with someone in the third row, boot space is severely limited (more so in the Zafira than in the Galaxy).

Someone I know has an R33 that he is doing a full build on. If memory serves me right he was at around 150k for parts alone, some Nismo bits etc for his one.

Dave!

That is a thing of beauty

Continuing the green theme.. I love the dark green and the steering wheel is stunningly trimmed..

That last picture - the grill is fucking terrible. I wouldn't find that acceptable on a Dacia. Is that V8 thing?

Is this a Want? I'm not sure. Ferrari having an identity crisis:

There are other Koenigs I'd prefer that's alright, the worst bit is the lack of yellow inside. I'd be tempted to get some number plates from a Toyota dealer.

Would look great sat between a standard 348 and an f40

Does make me want one of the oddball Venturi 400’s
