Hmmm ... I love the Skyline ...
For what it represents, its technical achievements, its style, attitude, power and sheer design brilliance. A lot of people love it for what it did in Gran Turismo...
I think of it as an advanced Audi Quattro with a stronger gearbox and no digital dash, or a big Lancia Delta with more visual presence and less rust, or a Cosworth with taste...

p cossies ... heh, I like em really)
My other main motivation comes from having what your not meant to have ... The R32 (in my case) was never an offical UK model, so for me a lot of the desire for the car comes from the fact its not meant to be here... I'm awkward like that
But no-one can deny that the Skyline has a worldwide reputation for kicking ass. Ohhh, even the name makes me all shivvery
I'd choose an R32 V-Spec II in Gunmetal or Black, over any other car in the world. Yet a few years ago I wouldnt look at any Japanese car twice, this is what the Skyline has done to me

turned me into a Jap-Car-Lover heh
