today is a bad day for me and for those how likes "japanese nostalgic cars" :(
my gov started to crush/destroy all the old and abandond cars (yes includeing american cars), over 3000 cars are being crused now..... once I heared the news I immeditly went to where they keep the cars in order to get something saved (for future projects) and I came empty handed :(
guess what I've forund (I will only talk about jap cars cuz I really like'em)
I found 2 rx3, about 8 Gen 1 rx7, tens of 929 coupe (from 70s to late 80s) some beutiful old school wagons, MK1/2/3 supras/celicas, KP starlets, nissan skylines (mostly R30 and R31,,,, no 70s model found) 81/82 bluebirds SSS coupe heck I even saw isuze coupe!
I spend around 3 hours like crazy, trying just to get at least 1 car.... one of my friends (he's from New Zealand) was with me and went crazy :rollaf: he was like :hitit: and keep telling me that most of these cars are really above $1k as a shell, and my gov will not get 50% of that if they crush it and sell it as raw metal :(
well it's true if you look at other countries like USA, Japan (well anywhere but not arab country or africa)
I really feel bad because when I talk to my friends they keep telling me that if someone want a classic car (never mind if it's jap or euro or american) that should import it from USA!!! poeple here are really lazy and don't value what we have here :( they just say "crush it, it's just old useless car" and I keep telling them that one man rubish is another man treasure.
I don't know what to say, I know some of you will be like "why you care about some old rubish jap crap" well, I don't know why, but I'm really sure that some poeple outside Qatar do like those cars, as no one in Qatar share the same love with me (they even said it to my face about my 86 and the impreza, that I should not have these cars and get a Land cruiser instead!!!)
anyway, I will try to find some واسطه to get me hands on some of these cars and keep them for future projects....... old school cars are in my blood and I want to rock in them everyday, when everybody in my country are driving some boring, heavy and Automatic cars :rollaf:
