Its hard enough owning 1 car that is 25+ years old, I own multiple 25+ year old cars. A lot of time, money, resources and energy goes into sourcing spare parts and this only gets worse. I think at some point, lack of parts will make me get rid of some of my cars - but time will tell.

Take the above and multiple it over a few times, as finding parts for an R32 is even more difficult. Sure, some parts cross-over - but other parts do not. And if you do find them, be prepared to pay and wait for them to arrive.

I personally would never like to own certain cars. New GTR, old GTR, its all the same: a big headache when it comes to parts and maintenance. I wouldnt want to own an NSX for the very same reason, when they do have problems its costly. Not saying that these are bad cars, they are awesome and I love these cars - all I am saying is that proper upkeep is difficult. Not impossible, just difficult.

But besides all that, I would never want to own a RHD vehicle. Not in this country.
