Still Cheaper Than The Real Thing: Platinum Tomica Nissan Fairlady Z432
Tokyo, Japan(March 10, 2010) - Ginza Tanaka (Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelery),
a jewler of 115 years of history (president: Nobuku Tanaka) is well know in Japan
for creating very delicate, unique and pricy jewellery for the well established
who has gratuitous change for spending on bric-a-bracs.
After creating such an indispensable objects like platinum ring bells for $5800,
wind bells for $4428, spectacles for $3300 or if you want to surprise your kids
with a diamond clothed Hello Kitty for $33,000, or cover mum's body in a 24K gold
$111,000 worth bathing dress or robs for $332,000, everyone could find it's
preference.
After all of these niceties, in honor of Japanese toymaker Tomica's 40th anniversary,
Tanaka jeweler has produced a one-of-a-kind replica of the toymaker's die-cast 1970
Nissan Fairlady Z432. The "toy" is 7cm long, weighs 210 grams, and made of platinum
everything down to the opening doors and the wheels (which can spin) including its
exquisitely-detailed box.
If it were to be made available for purchase (it isn't), it's estimated worth is
around $80,000. Japanese Nostalgic Car jokes in its headline that even at that
price, it's still less than what one would pay for a real Z432, given their rarity
and desirability (a total of 420 cars were produced between 1969 and 1973). As for
this platinum bauble? It's being publicly shown at the Hong Kong International
Jewelery Show this month, after which it heads back to Japan for next month's Osaka
Tomica Fair.

unveil on February 10th, Nissan today confirms the name of its forthcoming
small Crossover. The Nissan Juke will go on sale from October, following its

reception at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, and will fit into the Nissan
range between the Note compact family car and the Qashqai crossover.
The Nissan Juke has been designed and developed to give customers an
alternative to the traditional small hatchback and will inject some
much-needed dynamism into the small car segment, offering European car-buyers
an alternative to the traditional, uninspiring small hatchback. As the fourth
Crossover in Nissan's European range, Juke intend to reinforce the brand's pioneering
Crossover leadership in Europe.
Juke will be manufactured alongside the Qashqai, Qashqai+2 and Note at Nissan's
state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Sunderland, Great Britain.

Automotive industry brought no excitements for the car fanatics in 2009. It

production and new car purchase.
We grew off all meats from the GT-R subjects and the boomerang eyed 370Z
could not cause real climax either.
What can we talk about on these long dark days when a worthwhile enthusiast
