The A32 Maxima in the UK is called the QX but its in the Infiniti I30 bodystyle.

They have a V624v badge on the trunk which is unique and IMHO looks pretty good. I have one, pics on my homepage.

I really don't understand why the British are considered to have bad teeth? You ever see an episode of Cops? The intelligence of a person is directly proportional to the nimber of teeth they have. I used to watch it all the time. When I first came here I was amazed to see a guy getting arrested who was WEARING A SHIRT.

I could use a rear foglight switch and v6 emblem. Not sure what else. In fact now you got me thinking - I may just pop home next week.

How I WISH I could bring a Escort cosworth over here only thing better than that would be a Lotus Elise, with the supercharger.

How about a TVR or a UK Spec Nissan Skyline GTR. Or there's lot's of food items unavailable over here in the US - like sticky toffee pudding, Walkers Crisps, Wine Gums, about 100 different REAL beers.

There was a guy from Australia who had pics of his Max (which looked like an I30). Anyway, he had an 30STouring badge. I would love to have one of those. What's the chances you can get ahold of one.

I know the exact badge your after and can order it anytime. But be warned they're crazy expensive at $118AUS each which is around $70US w/shipping. If your still interested I could either arrange it for you or pass on the details of my local dealer.

I'll take a case of Tennants ale, a case of Walkers crisps (salt and vinegar please), and a big breasted, pasty skinned, horny teen on way to holiday at Ibiza. How much for shipping to 27530?

No Ibizas in stock. How about a Club 18-30 Torremolinos?

Will you settle for a SEAT Ibiza??

Hands up who wants a v6-24v badge... I'm going to England next week - I can get pricing etc when I get there and bring them back in my luggage. Hopefully the nearest Nissan place will have some, or can order them.

Anyone who wants British food, try http://www.goodwoods.com


Pity I can't bring a Chip Buttie with gravy back with me. Enough starch, fat, acetic acid and sodium enough to flatten an elephant. Ee, it's chuffin' grand.

Any idea if the variable intake is over there? I kind of doubt it since nobodies brought one back, but I've got family over there so if that's the case and you guys repeat it for me, I'll be sending them over to the local junkyards all over the place

What I wouldn't give for a pint of "Theakston's Old Peculiar"...

Or even "Blackadder's Ball Basher" (a brew guaranteed to knock the backside off a concrete elephant)

That's so weird, my friend said the same thing. I don't think everyone had braces in Europe. And I met girls who were 24-26 who didn't have drivers licenses. Another weird thing was that in Norway people in the office were wearing the same clothes 2 days in a row. I tended to like the romance language countries better myself, although barr none the prettiest girls were in Sweden. Maybe blasphemous but the girls in Finland were nice to me too. They seem to get a bad rap from the rest of the Europeans who don't consider Finland as a Scandinavian country. But to answer your question, no, there's nothing in London.

Yeah, and we all drink tea and eat crumpets and watch the cricket on a sunday right before our sunday lunch. Everyone continually says; "Jolly good show eh what?" and we all tip our hats to ladies as we pass, driving our unreliable sports cars.


You seem to know a lot about England. Why not got to a pub in Barnsley town center and tell a bouncer he just spilled your pint (tell him to stick his PubWatch pager up his ****). Go watch a soccer match, and chant for City from the United end - you know, the one about the St John's Ambulance . Go to a Working Men's Club Game Room and order half a lager an lime.

On the other hand, it sounds from your post like you don't know crap about England.

Go easy on him, mate, he was probably just confusing the English with the Germans!

I guess you people from England are uptight too. Matter of fact, I love London. The architecture, the Jazz music stations and much more. So anyway, I know a lot more about England that you think so don't why even try to flame about what you don't know about? Some of you people are always taking things further than they have to go. I had a bad experience that scarred me for life .

Save the drama!

I want some Toblerone. That's gotta be the best dadgum candy ever, but I can't seem to find it in the states. Man...I remember the part of London I was in...all the phone booths had sex line fliers plastered all over the inside. Those were the days... But to make my post Maxima related, I didn't see a damn one while I was there. Lots of Ferraris, though.

I hate Subaru with all there wheel upgrades and ****. They price Gouge on them so much, the body kit for the WRX is an extra 1k and the upgraded wheels and tires are over 3k. The body kit and rims are factoy options.
