Thanks mate, I think I might be the eBay expert of this forum

As for the Datsun, I noticed it had a slushbox but I could live with that in a car with 2 turbos. 2 of 'em. Yep, 2.

My choice would be that Corrado though. Yes, I know people say they don't have enough power for a 2.9 and their wrong wheel drive but I've been saying for years that you have to look past how cars stack up on paper and just drive them, and I can't imagine anyone not being won over by a Corrado. The sound is just musical, the torque and wide power band means there's power at any revs which makes it feel far faster than it is, the turn-in is razor sharp with very little understeer and epic grip, the steering talks to you constantly, the ride is firm but somehow comfortable, the brakes are fantastic, they look pretty without looking girly, their incredibly tough...

It's a crime that the god-awful Calibra outsold them 5 times over

the only vdub ive ever actually desired is the corrado vr6 even if it is made out of leftover bum poker parts they look bloody amazing, the only problem of getting a retro vw would be the scene that goes with it but i guess i could live with that haha
