Read my post again, I did not say it was close, I said it was the nearest I could get. OK, so I wanted an excuse to play a great song about a car, by a great country singer.

Like how did it end up in Pattaya, who was the original owner etc. Since I see no Thai window stickers then it could have shipped in for parts.ask the owner if he has a blue book.If no book then impossible to register.

transam Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 It was 1989, my then wife's brother had just passed away at an early age.....We didn't have much cash to play with but I said "let's bugger off to the USA on a cheap fly-drive"...... Booked an economy ride with flights to Miami...Shit flight, delayed etc....Got there in the early hours, just a few people picking up rides...Did all the paperwork and handed the keys...Went out to the lot, it was near empty, just a row of limo's in the far corner...Went back to the office, they said our car was a limo in the far corner... It was a brand new Cadillac Brougham.....We had 2 weeks of fun cruising in that car, saw all of Florida, went as far as Key West, Everglades, the whole lot, just cruising.........

Just today I was looking at an E30 coupe to buy fitted with a turbo'd Toyota 1UZ. goes extremely well and I hope the person accepts my offer. Couple of ways to look at it. If it's a classic car then for me it has to have the original lump or at least a replacement of the original. If it's a particular model that you want to have as a daily drive and it's expensive on service and parts the I'm ok with a lump that's easier on the pocket. The annoying part is when it's a classic fitted with japanese lump and people still want to price it as an original classic. In that case if the original lump is in a box to come with the car I could handle that because you could rebuild it and stick it back in in your own time.
