i really dont see myself driving a silvia. sorry. ive never liked them and i dont really have a good reason for it, but i wont drive one. ditto the soarer. in fact, i have had a long standing aversion to toyotas in general.
although... i had never seen that Toy Mk II, and it looks very tempting. also i recalled my misplaced affection for 20b Eunos Cosmos. also FD.
a 'hard' car is generally acceptable for just me, but as it will be the only car, it needs to be a bit practical too. so even an automatic (shudder) is not out of the realm of possibilities.
