What can I say, We made the top 10.:tapemouth

Fortunately Nissan saw the error of their ways and named the EXPORT S30 as they should be . ie 240Z etc. etc.:bulb:

The latest we are seeing is the 350Z Fairlady.

Except for the fact that Nova when translated from Spanish to English as Nova. "No va" translated from Spanish to English means "not going".
