I remember 1994, grade 10, sitting in the school library reading 'Wheels" ( pretty cool they kept this sort of literature). This particular article was about the Jap spec SW20 and i remember thinking it would be a 'cool' car to own. Only a few weeks later my Dad came home with a new 'Bathurst', (which we still have with 53xxxkm on it) and between that and my then obsession with the 'turbo variant' in the mag the seed was planted, I was going to have a turbo sdub one day.
In 2000 I was almost old enough to insure a turbo vehicle and had saved a few bucks so the hunt began. I looked at a few, drove my first car with coilovers, and eventually found what i still have in the shed today. I've not done much (or anything now I think about it) to the body but there isn't anything mechanical that hasn't been touched at some point.
Therefore the sdub is my fav. I have come close to buying an Adub a few times now but with a wife and young fella this has had to take a back seat for a few more years. I'm sorry to say though that the Spyder does nothing for me at all.
The one thing I absolutely love about these vehicles is the comradery they've created. Never on any of the cruise meets (or on forums for that matter((mostly) have I seen ego or lack of respect. Old and young alike we all share a common enjoyment. I have made many friends through what should simply be a car.
