after i got my Car Driving License i bought a White Civic Eg4 wich is almost stock, got a lowered suspension, Jap Muffler ,mugen lip,yellow foglights and some other "JDM" stuff ;)

Then ,a Few weeks ago ive had the possibility to get my first Skyline..

i Went to the UK(Tilbury) to get my R32 GTST and drove it back Home.
