Car Wants (maybe once, but now just anything Jim can find on the internet. 🙄)

Today; at 43 years, 9 months and 28 days old, I found myself coveting a Nissan Sunny.

And what a fucking Sunny it is.









There’s the minor downside that it’s in Northern Japan but, for a whisker under 30 grand, that is absolutely bloody marvellous.

Nice colour but would be better if it was sporting period correct wheels. Lowered suspension, over-sized wheels, low profile tyres - not for me. Too much wrong.

Far form being lowered, I think it’s actually teetering higher on those fucking stupid perambulator wheels, like some kind of half-arsed ‘donk’…

They need to go, f’sure, tho’ the Europa was anything but pretty in any case.

You’re quite right. Good spot. I had just assumed it had been stanced as so much of the tyre was shrouded by the flared arches.

Liked the Europa at the time because mid-engine just betta.
Now I prefer the Elan because overall it is a better practical sports car.
Much as I would like one a MX5 makes more sense today.

I rather like the Spyder Elans with a more modern engine/brakes.

Shame I don’t fit.

Saw a Grenadier Quartermaster this afternoon :grimacing:

Also, a mate has had a full-on mid-life crisis and chopped in his Tesla Model S for one of these

although not in that colour. He picks it up in a couple of weeks. I know nothing about cars but it doesn’t look like the most practical of things. The leather interior looked nice though.

I forgot.

He doesn’t live in the greatest place in the world (and I say that as someone who lives in SE London) so it’s also cost him £16k in hydraulic bollards for their horseshoe driveway.
