If that cost less than £100 it was worth it for the wheels and the seats (they look rather comfy).

But seriously, what is that all about? What's Goose and Maverick got to do with S.W.A.T and that's not how you spell tactical or testicle.

Hmmm... thrashed on a charity rally then sat for 7 years. I think the oil leak might be the least of its worries. At least it's a GT and there's an opportunity to remove the tatty stickers.

It did also cost me a few £100's less than £1000. :p

Needed a cheap, interesting, stopgap car. This one had the bonus of baffling absolutely everyone I showed it to. :D

Good lord no, the stickers will get peeled off, I have bought replacement badges for the boot, and the wheels.. Well, I'm not sure what to do with them just yet.

TBH part of the appeal was the reaction I'd get from you lot... :p

It was a little bit disappointing really. Was hoping for more of an uproar. You didn't even check the MOT history.

Acme, at least they are stickers, i thought they might have been painted on (just for you)

I think the last person to test it had never seen a 90's Nissan before. :p
