So im at work right now...work at a bank on a main road in central florida (436) and i am working the drivethru window and all of the sudden i hear a roar mixed with like a whooosh sound. I didn't look up right away because it sounded a bit like a motorcycle. Well, I look up to see not only a bike, but also the taillights of an R33 Skyline driving away! I was like

Nice silver color. Anybody know who this might be?

Anyways just thought i would share

He's an Orlando local, and owns/runs NICO...was in Gainesville about a month ago for a conference, and I ran into him outside work. Told him we met every Thursday, and he came out for a couple hours. Pretty cool...

So did the guy in the Skyline come up to the drive-thru? Did he come in backwards, in reverse?

lmao

that skyline...

jaaaaaaaaap · 06-26-2003, 01:12 PM

it was just a civic with skyline tails....and that "wooosh" sound was just the air conditioner.

240SxTYLE · 06-26-2003, 03:30 PM

yeah hes a orlando local. he usually can be seen with some of the other 240 guys in orlando at the bennigans on 50 (colonial), right by roxy's. its pretty nice you should go up there. just look for the 240's they are either at the bennigans, sports athourity or the denny's, the denny's has been the usual spot since rice has invaded alot of meeting spots

Yeah, every once in a while I'll be in traffic and be like "HOLY CRAP, an R33!!." But then I come to find out that it's nothing more than an Impala.

I saw a Murcielago about a week ago here in Indiana of all places. Let's just say I was kind of in shock. That's the first time I had ever seen a Lambo on the road.

I've seen a murcielago as well. That car in motion is absolutely amazing. It was the bright yellow color. It just demands attention!

SiL1480 · 06-26-2003, 11:28 PM

Same here, saw a yellow one in Vallejo, CA of all places.

Are you sure it was an EVO and not something like a Mirage (or whatever they use to make fake EVOs).

I don't even think EVOs ever came in LHD till now, but I could be wrong.

nrcooled · 06-30-2003, 02:21 PM

I was an evo! I am sure of it. I was looking hard at it to see if it was authentic. There is that shop in FL that imports EVOs and will convert them to LHD. The average price is about 30k for a EVO VII.

I will hunt the link down and post it to the site that will import and convert
