Imports

Pictures like this really make me miss my old Datsun. Such a great little ute, wish I still had it.

One of these days I should sign up to there, I do wonder how'd they would take my dad's collection.

Thanks for the link.

I use SL-i more when it comes to that sort of thing.

^ What's with the Playboy bunny?

Finally stopped procrastinating on my edits of the drag racing side of Tuner Mayhem at Bandimere Speedway last month. My better shots/spots here...

No slicks, and he really had trouble getting the power down because of it, so sad.

This guy... it's like a drifter showed up just to do an obnoxious burnout. A guy showed up in a bro'd-out Ram and did the same, then continued to go before the light turned green.

Mmm, C5... want one'a them too, lol

I love the Campagnolo wheels used on the Maserati Merak.

Going sideways is always fun.

Double cabs are the proverbial holy grail, but that only makes me want a single more--plus they've got a longer bed. This one's seen better days but it's sporting Cosmics. 👍

Regamasters look good on everything...

Kristaps.

Some of my favourite cars from VSCC a couple of weeks ago:

Seriously, I could dedicate a post to the GNs and ERAs.

Ah, yes. I was precisely gonna post asking what was the name of those. I couldn't for the life of me remember what they were. They indeed look good on everything 👍

 

[Heldenzeit]

I'm not usually into drifting, but this looks rad.

My new favorite.

RWB always makes me weak at the knees.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Forgot about this one. They were all running the 12 Hours of Motegi Idlers race. I believe 5 out of 6 cars finished.

And some ERAs...

Positive camber heaven.

GN Martyrs are a personal favorite.

Quite fond of Amilcars myself. They have great proportions.

Also hugely taken by the Frazer-Nash 'Owlet', which seems capable of some quite improbable cornering abilities. Not sure this is really material for the Imports thread but since we don't have an "awesome vintage cars" thread...

Hey, they're imports--so what if they're older than dirt and don't have big wheels and wings? (Okay, so they do tend to have big wheels, but you know what I mean. )

In full agreement with you on the Amilcars, but I've seen early MGs do things the Owlet can only dream of...all on tires of similar width.

Consider this thread's impetus, though...

I'm glad people are headed another direction.

The Amilcar-Hispano took Set 1 (Boulogne Trophy) rather convincingly. Premier Cru probably gave the best racing, an R10B, R4A and AJM 1 nose to tail (they lapped the Bugattis at a rather terrifying rate), but that left the Alta circulating in no man's land. 6 cars producing one of the best races I've seen in many years.

It's more the look and the tech of the Owlet I like - again, they have great proportions. And those particular ones use a crazy chain transmission that lets the drivers flat-shift. I dunno if you read (or even have access to) Octane magazine, but they did a feature on one last year and I've thought they were fantastic since then.

I've seen it on stands and have flipped through a couple times, but I subscribe to very few magazines and none are imports. I take that back, none car-related are imports.

To be honest I'm never really sure what is ok to post in the imports thread given that the title is a bit of a misnomer. Whether a car is an import depends entirely on the location of the poster.

I think this is basically the "anything except hot rods and muscle cars" thread.

Speaking of RWBs, planning to visit their Australia HQ at the end of the year.

I take it as just the general car picture thread. Literally just about everything is an import here, so.

Awesome! I heard that their first build will start in a few days.

Ah, so that's what that August meeting thing is then. Awesome, so Melbourne is the HQ by pure luck.
