This is my car, a Nissan 200 SX. It's a perfect example of how Japan can make a bland looking car. To make it more bland, mine is a 'beautiful' metalic gray!
But this doesn't matter cos the bright boffins at Nissan decided the rear wheel should be driving, and the front wheels should be for aiming:-) They also put a turbo and an intercooler on the 1.8 litre engine, 169 PS (bhp). whoooooooosh...
The behind does'nt look much better, but there's enough space in the boot to get all my stuff from England to Germany. Germany, where there is a 'recomended' speedlimit on the Autobahn (motorway) of 130 Kmh (80 mph).
As you would expect there's more gray inside.
The round thing is the steering wheel. Yes, I know it's on the wrong side!
The garage where I bought the car from even bought me some flowers. I'm not sure what to conclude...
I wonder how fast she will go... The speedo goes to 240 Kmh
Gosh!
My be I should look where I am going...
Get out of my way Mr BMW, I'm coming through!
I need to speak to the speedo design at nissan, The car was still accelorating at 240 Kmh, unfortunatly the tires are only(!) rated to 240 Kmh so I slowed down.
Big grin:-)
Time to find a petrol station, you don't get many mpg at that speed :-(

- YouKnow: I have some things to say!
All you people who talks negative about the Nissan 200sx are idiots! An Escort...man...you can modify the SX too,its made to handle 450bhp original!
And a person over 12 do fit in the backseat, well maby not if you are a big assed fat bastard!
The 200sx is a great car!
And whats wrong with you englis people.... its regular with a left side stearing wheel! You are mainly the only one who goes for the right side (eksc. japan, india, china and wenezuela - austarlia)
IDIOTS! reply
- english goods!: l do agree with you the Nissan 200sx is an awsome car, l have one and it is as good as the baby skyline! l've had 165mph out of it.... but l must say were not IDIOTS!! reply
- Leo: Is the UK model 200SX S14 restricted? and can a standard model do 165mph? Also is it quicker than a civic type-r? or same reply
- AndyW: Wow! I must say you have some strong feelings... Maybe its yourself who is the idoit for getting so upset with us. The 200sx is only a car... maybe you should calm down and have a beer (afterall as a wise Ali once told me... "a beer can solve most things") reply
