twisty b-road Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 A mate of mine reckons the Japanese are buying them in a reverse import dealTake Skyline/ITR/Evo/Preza out of the crate.Replace with Lupo GTi (and other cars in demand in Japan) and put back on ship.He had no evidence to support it, so not said anything about it.

twisty b-road Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 He reckoned those funny volvo pseudo `off-roader` thing, X5, VX220, Elises are also popular due to supply/demand Could be complete bollox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_M Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I saw 2 Lupo GTIs yesterday. They weren't together. Was behind a silver one admiring it and then a red one went past. A rarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I would have thought they probably were... especially if they weren't frantically waving and flashing each other!!I've also seen a silver and red on the M3, but about 10 minutes apart from each other. I couldn't beleive my eyes that day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_M Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Nah, one was in front of me and the lights were on red on this main road. Then about a minute later a red one came up from behind and turned off onto another road. Anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
