I'm actually not a fan of yellow on this car let alone the RHD lol. I just remembering always wanting a red on red NSX. At this point I wouldn't pass on a black top either.

I love the 930 as well, but just how perfect is the F40? ? One can dream...
and
Made peace with the fact I'll never be able to own the former, but I intend on making the latter reality one day. Even have them in LEGO form (in dire need of upgrading the shelf, as more sets are waiting to be built lol).

as i've mentioned before, the mkiv supra is my favorite car, but a close second is the f-40.

Lol, yeah that meme is great. And I don't - I've loved them since childhood, and it carried over. Great stress relief as well, get to use hands and not stare at a screen considering I do that all day for work.as i've mentioned before, the mkiv supra is my favorite car, but a close second is the f-40.

Yeah Lego is cool…especially in Aus. We have a new T.V show called Lego masters ( don’t know if your guys get it) HUGE hit, and now everyone is trying their hand at building.

Last comment from me before we deviate even more, lol - I've been continually impressed with their partnership game, and it's really what has helped them come back from the brink. All the automotive stuff, Star Wars, etc. It's brilliant.
https://ideas.lego.com is also a really neat concept - people submit their home builds, crowdsource 10k votes of "support" and if LEGO reviews/approves, it gets turned into a real set. It's been a massive hit for them, and fun to see a lot of peoples' creations come to life. The creators get a percentage of the royalties, too.

While it's the least rare of the 1,504 Spirit R's built, the Type A is still the most collectible. 1,044 total Type A's were made, with 1,043 being right hand drive and the other a left hand drive model specifically built for Mazda North America senior VP Robert Davis. All are two-seaters equipped with red Recaro buckets, cross-drilled rotors, unique wheels and aero, and a 5-speed manual transmission.

Man, well played. I've always, always, always wanted an FD - they've aged so gracefully.While it's the least rare of the 1,504 Spirit R's built, the Type A is still the most collectible. 1,044 total Type A's were made, with 1,043 being right hand drive and the other a left hand drive model specifically built for Mazda North America senior VP Robert Davis.

Man, have they ever. This may ruffle some feathers, but I think you can make an argument that they've aged as well if not better than any other 90's Japanese car, perhaps even ANY car from that decade. I went and looked at one at a dealership back in 2015 but ended up passing on it. Still regret it. A few members on this board own one and I'm pretty damn jealous ?

For sure. Wouldn't be my first choice of 90s Japanese sports car (the 2Gb Eclipse GSX will forever hold that spot) but holy shit the RX-7 is the sexiest of them all. I still don't understand how they fucked up so bad with the RX-8.

It's like an Evo with curves instead of angles. I like it.

At one time BAT was a great site to purchase collectable cars at reasonable prices . Prior to Covid BAT was sold to Hearst Autos and prices took off then came covid and prices tripled . I agree its a great site to view cars .
