With the original post that explains how you can win a hardcover sales brochure for the 1999 Nissan Skyline GTR now buried a couple of pages deep, I thought I would give you this reminder that the contest is still open and runs until Thanksgiving Day. Originally, I asked The Best & Brightest to look through the last year’s worth of articles and share their favorites but have, upon reflection, decided that may be a barrier to entry to some of the people who have only recently joined our nonexclusive club. If you have been waiting to do less and win more, here’s your chance – respond to either this or that previous article and sometime on Thanksgiving Day I will throw your name in a hat with all the others and choose a winner. One entry per person, please.
As I mentioned in that earlier article, I received this book from one of my students who worked for Nissan when I was teaching English in Kyoto back in the day. It has remained safely on my book shelf ever since and is in perfect condition – no stuck together pages or dried out boogars. Based on a little research it seems that these books are rare on this side of the Pacific and the only one I found was being sold on Ebay for around $40.
Ooooh… pick me!
stuck together pages???
i like the r34 too but not that much
as an aside, i liked the chrysler 300m stuff
its just a nice inside into a car that was an interesting period for the company… handsome car too
In it to win it

Oh yeah…R34 or is that R134a?
I’m FAR too lazy to go looking through a year’s worth of posts. But I can promise that it would either wind up with a DeMuro article or a behind the scenes Lang piece.
But I don’t come here because of one or two interesting reads, I come here because I can lose an entire day going through everything.
Plus I don’t need to make a fake Facebook account to post here.
In it to win it.
How about the Bertel drama series? While it did get loathsome, it did add some color to the site.. It just got out of hand eventually. That one post with that big, phallic thing was…well, over the top. To Bertel’s credit, the Lexus LFA series he did was cool. I dug that.
There, flame suit on!
Oh wow, I know someone who’d love this book. He’s a gigantic fan of Skylines.
Your far too kind…..
I’m not really in it for the literature… I’d just like to express my appreciation, in particular, of a few of your short stories. ‘Turning Point’ and ‘Ride of a Lifetime’, in particular, stuck with me.
In a site-wide context, I appreciate reading Jack’s reviews of pretty much anything, no matter how wretched and appliancelike.
Hard to pick a favorite recent article, but Mr. Lang’s stuff is a consistent delight.
The thread that TTAC deserves, but not the one it needs.
being 11 when this sales book was made, this was my dream car, from grand turismo and its sequels. r34 gt-r. mmm mm
I collect all things Skyline, mainly Tomica diecast. I’d *love* to get this one.
Pick me, kudasai!
Since I could never afford one, being able to look at the pictures might be a nice thing.
