Tango
PHP Code:

Members why not tell us about other Jap cars your owned.

My IS200 Sport was my first Jap car and because I couldn't bear to part with it, I still have it.
When I heard it was to be replaced by the new series in 2005 I placed an order for the new IS250 SE-L eight months before before its release in the UK without seeing it. It's three years and a bit old now, still a joy to drive and hasn't let me down once.
Had to mod it a little just to personalise it (apologies to those who have seen it before):

Sorry for the really dumb question but is this the same is250 that was at JAE 2k8 that I couldn't stop drooling on :o ?

Well I had a Nissan Sunny GTI in Silver ( not the GTR ) loved that car,but when the time came to give it its second MOT when I had it, it needed about £1200 to get it through its test so I decided to get rid of it.

I also had a Mazda 323 that must have been the worst car I have ever owned. Hated the driving position, and well just hated everything about it, but like the look of it when I bought it, must admit I liked it for about a week Big Grin

The only other Jap car I have owned was a 1981 Toyota Super Crown 2.8
It was this model in Met Brown and I must say, the best car I have ever owned.
If I find some old pics of mine i'll post them.

The IS200 is my first Jap car, and please don't hate me but that's because I've never been a fan of Jap cars until Lexus came along.........and some of the pics in this thread have reminded me why :eek:

Tango's car still one of my favourite IS250s Big Grin

Hey I never owned one but does anyone remember a Datsun with three "S" on the grill ? I seem to remember it was supposed to be a bit of a beast in it's day (72/74 era).

Keith

Just had a quick Google and found this pic.........this is what I remember, the 4 lights and the "S" badge in the centre of the grill:
