Awesome cars... very envious of you. 
Ok, so many will claim they don't have the pedigree of Ferrari or Porsche etc, but that's not what they're about. They just get you
from A to B as fast as possible and scr3w the looks! Love it.

Couldn't agree more. The standard Skyline is a bland, boring shape, but when the ricers get busy with the body kits they look hideous. Truly a
car for the Xbox generation.
That said, you can't argue with the performance.

Can’t say I find the looks all that appealing either and as for the sills?! Probably to old fashioned for loads of plastic. I recently had the bad
luck to sit through that ‘to fast too bla bla… oh what torture it was totally dreadful, I was so bored I had to call the Samaritans, how the custom
car scene has fallen into the gutters
Bet it was very fast though: D
What really sticks out is that door and how it looks like its off another car it so really doesn’t go with anything else!

Well everyone's entitled to his own opinion
Whilst the looks might well be a marmite thing, but that particular car has had some serious work under the bonnet - most of the hard work has been
done and another couple of hundred BHP is only a map and a couple of tweeks away .....
It's pretty impressive just now, but it should be awesome when it's finished

I know there's a certain amount of work gone into it, but I can't admire someone or their car by opening their chequebook and paying
Airfix.
I remember going to Custom Car shows back into the v late 70's/ v early 80's and remember seeing some stunning vehicles, which for the
most part had been built by the owners.
The Skyline does absolutely nothing for me in the looks department, but I'm sure once behind the wheel, it's a different story.

i'm sure the 7 does nothing for most skyline owners, or any modified car owners (like novas/corsas, pug and the like)
each to their own
i like them all

A true car enthusiast would have a place in his/her heart for any car whether it be a kit-car with plastic wings or a skyline with plastic wings or
even an old ford escort mk 1. Have a look in my photo archives. All cars a great . Beauty is in the eye of the be holder/owner!

As above - pretty much all cars rock. I'd love a spin in a skyline.

I would love a ride in something like that irrespective of what people think of it and would not hesitate to brag about it.

I've got a 7 and I won't disclose which 1 of the others lol
As said before most petrol heads can appreciate the work thats gone into something and if its been done well,
I can't really appreciate somebody handing over there checkbook and having no influence in it, which is what most of the modded scene appears to
be now.
