I am SOO disappointed that none of you noticed the 1972 SILVIA!!! There were only 500 made and we saw one in person!





I thought for sure some of you hard core nissan guys would have noticed that.

You sure that's a '72??? I'm pretty sure they only made them from '64-'68, and acouple leftovers were sold as new a little after that, but I'm pretty sure none were in 1972.

Im almost positive that is what the owner told me, but I may be wrong. I do remember for sure he told me it was the rarest of them, and they only made 500. I think he also said somethign about it being a "re-release" of the car by new designers. He said one of the designers was also a BMW designer (hence the front headlights and grill).

Nonetheless it is an amazing car

sorry about the links going dead guys...i had some crazy hong kong guys hotlinking the hell out of the coverage. I used 5gb of bandwidth in 3 hours.

I had to rename everything to slow them down.

Ther eis a pic of the guy that made the car acting all proud of his work... And there is another one of the guy with all his friends. It was SSOOOOOOOOO hard ot keep a straight face while taking the pics.


As for my ride along... It actually happened by fluke. I was walking by the BFG booth inside the speedway and one of their guys saw my press pass and asked me who I was shooting for.

Then he told me that they had ride alongs scheduled for every drift session and they were booked solid two weeks in advance.

Apparently the Import Tuner guys had to leave early so they invited me to fill their spot.

PURE LUCK! BUT SOO AWESOME!
Lucky bastard... who were you shooting for? I was shooting for NOPI and I didn't even get a chance to ride along. NOPI pics should be up soon but right now everyone is down in Florida so it will have to wait until everyone gets back.
