And who knows if he has another twinny to rip around in, if he loves them that much to keep one ine a bubble then you can be sure he has one for the road.

Maybe, Befor anyone knew what "touge" ment, But trust me, they were big in Japan before they were in Ireland, dont forget that Keiichi Tsuchiya used that car to big drifting up. Intial D was after the drifting had already started, the reason they started getting big in Ireland was for rallying, now theres loads over there.
yeah rallying since the EIGHTIES!!!!!!!!!!

twin cams have already started loosing their value i had one b4 the Glanza nd got rid of it just in time i think. But silver over Graphite ones are getting very rare, a guy up here has one with every receipt from new including the receipt for buying the origional car IR£7,750 as far as i can remember

Where in my post did I say they were big here first.:rolleyes: You could buy brand new ones here and they were drifting the roads rallying before drifting was even on the scene.

I suppose you know that Tsuchiya started drifting since like 1978, then as soon as the car was realeased he was on it like a crab on a pebble.
Im not gonna go into an argument, I was talking about drifting :)

Indeed but the first drift events were started in 88 but they were rallying in events here before that. So imo they were broad side in 'offical motorsport events' here before they were in Japan.

I can appreciate the approach but I'd prefer to appreciate the car instead.

Can't see too many others being treated like that - It is cool in an odd kind of way. :cool:
