Hahaha, somehow i doubt that one. When we went to check out the DOHC JR130 in Camp RD ages ago he didnt break out into babble the same way he does when he sees an XY GT or HQ GTS. His mates had em, he drove all of them off the clock. Including a mates HQ GTS with a small block 350 and 6-71 charger, haha should hear the stories ive heard about that car!

From memory, the only car i can think of the old mans ever really wanted is a VL Calais turbo or a VY SS...

Ive got a feeling hell shoot me when he sees the Piazza. MMMM...sexy faded roof. Did i mention i was buying the wreck of a 306 soon too? LOL

My dads car collection wasnt really any better i guess, well in the eyes of normal people it wasnt. In the eyes of 4cyl RWD old schoolers its a dream...

-Datsun 1600 ex-rally, cage, L20B, short ratio box
-Datsun 1200 sedan, A14 with extractors
-TC Gemini with a warm G161, abit of head work etc etc
-TE Gemini, stocker, fucked, but for some reason it went sick.

And now BMW 318i. Yep, you guess it, the old man wants it. lol

The 306 was my older cousins car, the "famed" 306 that threw me off the road and into a gutter on MY corners. Thats never happened before..

Anyhow, his lil bro was driving along in it when some dick pulled out and "L" boned him - i say L boned because they hit him in the front pass side corner and proceeded to demolish the rest of the car. lol My aunty said the insurance company only wants $500 to buy the car back - i could easily sell the car complete for more then that to a wrecker. It still has alot of good panels on it, interior is immaculate, and the engine still runs.

Oops i made a typo, My step dad had a schmick HQ prem. They got da Jackaroo to toe the van and the hiundies for the shop and paper deliveries now.
My Bro has their mighty R31 "Pinny". Shes an auto powerhouse, with the crapest ever tint job. Its go a full house reco CA20 in it that cost em more than it was worth. My Bro stacked it, spun it out and end for ended a cutaway on the highway, banged up all the bumpers and shit, it used to be straight as, but now it looks like the heap that a pintara should. lol.

My uncle is the Peugeot nut from hell. Hes got over 20 of em in various different models. He might be interested in the 306. Its only got the 8v motor in it hasnt it??? Auto or manual. I will ask him if hes interested. Be a good repower for his 205 GTI convertable (which is auto and that sucks hard in a little "sports car").

Peugeot was the shitty 8V 1.8 Manual, its gone now though. The BMW is gone now too, well not really gone, its my little sisters now. She gets her l's in one month, shes rapt big time. Cant blame her, the 318i is a pretty nice car.

Piazza comes tomorrow night!!!!!! One day to go. It feels like christmas again...lol
