Post by grant76 »

Toyota dailys are mean they go forever.

I used to have a N14 GA16 Pulsar hatch, I miss that car it was so comfortable, light, handled awesome and had a decent amount of power.

MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the 96 model 2 door Mirage I have now!!!

Those N14 X1Rs are awesome. Thrash the pants off em and they never die. Handle well. Very comfortable to drive.

Nothing wrong with Toyotas, I can see why you like them. I like the fact that Datsuns seem to be fairly underappreciated by the general population.
It means that you see a lot less dattos sporting massive chromes and camo interiors = a good thing. :thumbsup:
Sadly can't say the same for old corollas, coronas, etc. :thumbsdown:
