Get some raw linseed oil on a microfibre cloth on those rear bumpers mate and they will look sweet

Looks a well truck that What plans you got for it dude?

If you don't mind me asking, why did you opt for the WD21 over the R20? Were you just looking for one of those or did it just come up? You must have been pretty committed to travel 240 miles for it

I went for the WD21 as it just popped up on a retro forum at the right time. The R20 is just a bit 'new-ish' for my tastes too, despite there not being much difference between the late WD21's and early R20's.

240 miles is just one day out to me. I've bought and collected cars from all over the country. Adds to the excitement.

The Disco is a great car when working. We bought it in August, and between then and November it was off our drive more than it was on it. However, all sorted now, and it's a lovely cruising car, great for pulling our 24ft caravan. My lass drives it 99% of the time, so I'm left with my Jap stuff, which suits me really.

I'll post up some pics of the other motors at some point soon, but here's a little mini-feature on the J30 on p31 of the latest edition of 'Practical Classics' (I've sold my Ford Probe in between writing the words for the article and the publishing of it).

Remember going on a drive n skive to see the new maxima when it came out all those years ago. The bloke from nissan balanced a 50pence piece on the top of the engine to prove how smooth it was. Was a great car was that.

Those were the days working for a nissan dealer and I turned up at 8:30 in the morning 1st of August in my brand new J reg Astra, they tried to fire me for that but as I was happy to tell them I did try and buy a couple of cars from them but they didn't come up with a good deal. Pity really as they had leant me a Bluebird in super condition for a weekend but wouldn't sell it to me cheap, worth far more commission to retail it.

Beautiful glossy paint work on that car

Saw your signature on that forum and the cars you've had, T11 crickey doubt there will be any of those left on the road. Used to love my p10 Primera but px'd it towards my first Terrano.

Thanks. The paint on the Maxima is all original. I've just worked hard on it. When you say T11, did you mean my old T12's, or K11 or P11? lol. There are so few T12 Stanzas around now, although I have the feelers out to pick one up in the next couple of months.
