Article on the 1989 Skyline GT-R

I figured people here would this article in the Montreal Gazette rather interesting: http://www.canada.com/montreal/montr...d-32d421489d62. It's a bit over a week old, so I don't know if someone already mentioned it. I thought the oblique hit on the G35 was a little weird:

-----
After a lengthy obsession with the Skyline, he waited until the federal government's 15-year restriction on importing cars (apart from those originally manufactured for sale in the United States) had expired before he could bring one across the ocean.

Impatience got the better of him, however, and on a trip to Japan in 2003, he scouted around, finally getting a friend to buy the car for him in 2004. The gunmetal grey 1989 GT-R then had to sit in his friend's driveway for several months, awaiting its 15th birthday.

[...]

One thing is certain: There won't be a G35 in Chu's driveway any time soon. He's not only an enthusiast, he's a connoisseur.

"Although I have no plans to start a collection, I see certain models of certain generations (that) are interesting to me," he said. "They are like fine wine - only certain vintages are worth getting."
