i was once a car slut.

i loved so many cars, japanese, continental and origins unknown. and then i tuned into initial d. and fell in love with the nissan silvia.

surprisingly, the silvia s15 has yet to be featured where i have watched up to at least. but it was the sileighty that led me down this smitten path.

so now, i guess its time to start saving for a s15? heh.

in my smitten state, i headed down to winnie's (a dangerous endeavour even when i am sane) on saturday and saw that there was a s15 shell. no prizes for guessing what happened. it will suffice to say i walked out of winnie's 70 dollars poorer.

for this s15, i will be doing a stock paintwork so as to make it look as street as possible. No decals, no funky artwork - just how my dream s15 would look.

meanwhile, i have come to this conclusion, i shall be specialising largely in s15 shells from now on (with maybe the occassional other shell). time to make the s15 my trademark. -grin-

anyway, my rc car has been fully set up and hopped up. with any luck, there will be no further expenditure on this chassis and i can look forward to a new one sometime next year.
