Hello all,
I am not an owner, but just wanted to express my evny of all you lucky enough to own this very fine RWD car...
My story is a very sad one... I lived for many years in the UK where I studied in Uni, and was considering getting a car to take home (Greece) afterwards...
I wanted a car with GUTS, and ofcourse the transmission on the right place (REAR). So I opted for the 200SX, which fitted all the criteria like a glove.
I slaved over a ****e job at KFC for a year, and the only thing that kept me going in that ****house was the thought of my own 200SX...
Unfortunately after ammassing the money needed to get a nice 92-93 200SX, I asked the Ministry of Transport here about the purchase. I was told I would need to pay the car's purchase value again here to have it properly registered in Greece...
Imagine my disappointment... So I said, right, I'll get one from Greece and get my parents to help out.
However, my parents didn't want to help out, although I HAD found the perfect 200 (a beautiful red one!). I was literally holding the keys at the dealer's when my father told me he wouldnt help out...
They said, we'll help you but you need to buy a new car (no service costs...), and it'd have to be up to 1,400cc (cars here are taxed on their capacity).
So now Im stuck with a stupid Ford Puma 1.4, which is disgustingly slow, AND FWD... I cant even sell it, because I have to pay for it (for 4 more years...)
Every time I see a 200SX on the road I sigh and move on...
Some mates with the same car tell me that RWD is this and that, and me liking it is a minority, etc etc.
Have fun all. I know I will once I torch this bl**dy thing and get a V6 Capri!! hehehe
