    ye id say 80 percent of uk cars are in bits but theres plenty of minters around just not gettin drove because there worth so much...

    plenty of bad japs in bits aswell but in general they are better shells by far
    gettin harder and harder to find good cars now

    As a general rule, UK spec = rusty shitter with cibbies and superlights and cb aerial that has been diffed to within an inch of its life...

    Jap = usually fairly non rusty and well sorted

    Agreed...

    But why anyone would want a rough rusty "cheap" UK car over an average Jap one puzzles me Take that shitbox "pink panther" for example..

    under 4k for a cam with nct and good running gear wasnt to bad but i know its hard to understand for some lads not into them, trust me a 4k japper will be rough aswell...
    some people prefer the look of uk cars plus uk parts like interiors are worth double what a jap is worth

    id prefer a slightly rough uk car with nct and good running gear over a average jap for same money
    neither will be minters but il have more fun in the uk car and enjoy it more

    Yea tis true i guess... I do understand it to a certain extent..And i think i've earned my stripes as far as knowing them is concerned, got my first taste of one when i was 11 years old, 15yrs ago now

    But yea, whatever floats your rust bucket i guess
