2002 Audi S4 laser red avant. Rumor is there are less than 30 in the United States. Only took me a few years to find the right one.

I had the cargo carrier painted to match the car.

Looks really good, that :) From the huge Burton sticker, I guess you're a snowboarder...

A final few pictures of mine. A new job and a move to the city means that I won't be able to keep it. I love it so much, and it's making me sad to put it on Auto Trader.

Bought it today. 1998 1.7 Ford Puma. I used to have a black one a few years back and loved it but had to sell it on. My MX5 just went bang so I thought i'd get another Puma. Great little car to drive!

Seen loads of those cars about today, counted 4 at least. All silver, no idea what was going on.

Lovely looking things though, people mistake them for a new ford model.

Washed my Saturn and decided to try to be creative with my new Nikon D60. The lighting wasn't the best, but here they are.

This isn't my actual car, but these are identical ones from the Internet. (The top image has the same wheels as mine.)

A 1994 Nissan 200sx S13 Turbo. I bought it as an ex-lease car (leased to an engineering firm manager) and have now had it for about 10 years.

A great car ... a proper "sports car" (as opposed to a "roadster" or "muscle car"), with pop-up lights and Knight Rider KITT shape. :)

Unfortunately reaching the stage where it needs some expensive repairs (clutch, gearbox and a couple of small rust repairs, plus the rear spoiler is made of foam and is splitting underneath). :(

You better not even think about selling that car lol. That's a really nice 40. I wish I would have kept mine!

I'm not really thinking of selling it. :)

Besides, there's nothing out there that I think is worth replacing it with (even if I had the money!).

The new (and last :() version of the 200sx isn't too bad, but I prefer the shape of my one. The 350Z / 370Z are OK, but a bit too small for my liking, and the new Skyline is much better than the previous model, but far too expensive. The Jaguar XK is nice on the outside, but the inside is a bit awful with that silly wood trim.

Nissan will, finally!, be releasing a new model to replace the 200sx either in 2010 or 2011. Some of the mock-up images look nice (a bit toomuch like the recent Skyline), but others look ugly and appear to be a 2-seater roadster rather than a "proper" 2+2 sports car. :(

I hope they keep it looking somewhat like the S15. I love the look of that chassis.

Every time I think of getting one of those 300ZXs (1989-2000) I see the price and it reminds that these owners are REAL proud of their cars.

I won't post the images here since it isn't "my car", but if you're interested then AllWorldCars.com has some "computer generated images" of what one Japanese magazine thinks the 200sx replacement will look like, which mostly looks like the previous Skyline (aka Infiniti in America I think).

While the local NZ Herald newspaper recently had a picture (not sure where from) that looks like a T-top 350Z which they claim is the 200sx replacement that will be aimed "the Mazda MX-5, Honda CR-Z and the Toyota MR2" ... a complete mistake and not what the 200sx / 180sx was. :(

The back of that car looks great, front looks like garbage though.
