Well I tried a few other places before I came to the UK..

Lived in Maine, New jersey, North Carolina, Florida, California and Amsterdam, Holland. Finally decided to settle down in the UK and now have a wife and 2 year old son to keep me honest.

Apart from the taxes and crap roads the UK is fine. Home is where you make it anyway....

YAY, I just got my 93' sc300, Black 5-speed. 170k miles. Im 23 from SF Bay Area. It was the cleanest out of the 6 I looked at, the others were nothing like advertised. First mods will be to get rid of these chrome 18" Gangsta wheels and throw on something like a 19" with a deep dish. The past 3 cars I had were all turbo so I may go that way after I thoroughly look over the motor. Gas mileage sucks right now and Im thinking the cats are clogged since there is a rapid ticking from their area while running and once shut off. This is definately the most comfortable car I've had which I love since I drive about 100+ miles a day for work. This definately beats my last car which was a 91 240sx with sr20det, tons of mods, stiff coilovers......I was big into drifting, but it got old. Check out our website at www.shockdrifting.com I Look forward to making non-noobiesh posts and searching thoroughly before posting.

Hmm where do I begin with this journey. I'm 22. The car was originally my dad's; I recently bought it from him after selling the Supra. Wise move; made some money on it while I could. Had my R since 17; definitely a keeper! Now currently found another SC, 5-speed mint, but lots of outside interest and offers; we'll see if this works out. Now my car is for sale, but knowing that there is no market for an auto I don't see it happening since most purchasers of SC's nowadays are kids and the cars are manual. Only way I can justify a sale is if a dealer happens to have a really low-mileage 5-speed in PRISTINE condition plus some cash in my pocket; but as usual the chances of that are extremely slim.

Thumbs up Lowez2

I am 25 Years OLD. I got a 92 SC400, soon to swap in a 2JZGET. Having this car is like having a Luxurious Twin turbo Supra.

You'd be much better off with an SC3 to do a swap, nothing matches up to mount the 2jz with on a sc400....anyhow's good luck with your new car.
