Pretty cool car. Nothing like letting your hair in a convertible! ;D
I put the top down in the winter. The summers and sun are way too hot to go topless here

I think it was simply the 200SX in Europe. The tuner car scene isn't as popular in South County, as us locals call it, but if you go north 30 miles, it's a very big scene. I sell auto parts and have a few customers that do the wild engine swaps in their little rice burners. Not my cup of tea (I like cubic inches), but I respect it. It's a new generation building custom hot rods.

 My generation had the 68-71 muscle cars. I don't think anyone could afford to run those anymore.
Here the 240s are really becoming popular but they aren't looking for the convertibles to modify

if there are any...they,ll most likely be in the scrap yard.....old Nissans did,nt fare well over here.....they rusted before your eyes....

I know the 70s models did..I think Japan used old scrape to build them back then. Right now they are huge here with young guys. They lower them put a loud muffler on them and call them drifters
We don't get any snow and they don't have to salt the roads a car here can last 200-300K without  if you take care of them

I caught the very end of a restoration show that originated in the UK. They find old cars then restore them to their former glory. They had what I swear was a car almost exactly like mine which is this 1992 Nissan 240sx.
This is mine. I have had her since 2002. It there a UK equivalent?

well twa squirrels...isnae any guid....its a bit like haen a 3 legged stool wi only twa legs....therefore unless she gets a third ane...there value isnae much...

They are holding up the Tiki now

I found them! You are missing one squirrel. They are designed to be feet for a terracotta pot. Here is the frog version, made by the same company:

You did and thank you! Even the same UK on the side.  How in the world did you figure out what to put a search in to find them??

I found these small terra cotta squirrels  and was wondering what they might be. I was told they could be pie vents but because there aren't any vents on the bottom they weren't 100% sure.
They are 3" high and about 2" in diameter



As always TYIA

This is not a but "but" please understand that one can misconstrue ones typing style. I honestly thought Mart was "yelling" at me with some of the others jumping in.
 I was taken a back by what I thought was a hostile tone. Since we aren't talking face to face, you can't tell the syntax.
I have asked for "a what is this" before and have always asked in a polite way and have thanked all for their advice

My sincere apologies to all I may have offended.
I am female and a southerner so please don't beat me up...it wouldn't be a fair fight  :)

The difference between you and I, is,..I,ve posted my real name on here on a few occasions,for all to see, my email ad is on my profile,as is my location...I don,t hide...and I certainly do not suffer fools gladly....are you getting my drift....
That's because you have over 4000 posts.. odds are your name would come up once in a while...its interesting that two or three threads above this is a "anonymous or not "... Where most seem to think it is better to stay anonymous because of security reasons more than anything...no one is hiding.....hiding from what or who? As far as who you are on your profile...I never looked

My dear Mart,you do not have to justify yourself to anyone...especially not to someone who,...hides behind a user name..and calls Southerners,Dumbf***s....would he i wonder, have the balls to stand up in the middle of a Louisiana Bar...and utter the same words.....somehow I don,t think so....I shall say no more,on this matter....
So...Bigwull must be your given " Christian" name and not your user name? ...not knocking it, it's lovely. Perhaps you were named after a beloved great uncle.........

Looks like a fake to me !! Link is a real one !! 
You said a ridiculously low price,,, How much ??   
Compare the two !!

The piece is definitely real.  Anyone telling you it is a reproduction has no idea what they are talking about or looking at.  It's too bad about the crack because it would be $300 to $400 vase in mint condition.
 

Thanks,

Thank you for your prompt response. I just have one question for you.
Does this piece look authentic ?  I had someone on an antique forum tell me it has to be a reproduction after looking at two pictures of the piece.
I do understand that without hands on you might not be able to tell me 100% .
The pictures I took  of the vase are as is, no enhancements.


  Mart, the vase was $2, he wanted three but I got him down a dollar
And yeah, even in the computer age not everyone knows what something is or even knows where to start looking. People still dump grandmas things without a second thought at the Goodwill or yard sale. I knew by looking at it that it wasn't made for Walmart in China a couple of years ago. I had no idea it was an early roseville stamp.
I'm really not sure what pissy means on your side of the world  "wull" but here it just means a bit angry..someone's that types in all caps or like her lots of exclamation points and question marks.. more like an interrogation  than someone asking for more information.not derogatory as you stated
 
 I hope people that came here for help take your opins with a grain of salt or two and not take what most of what you all say like it's stamped in gold.
I suppose I owe y'all a big ole thank you...so thanks for you help
Maybe if you,d googled "pissy"...you would have got what it means...on this side of the pond....where we don,t call Southerner,s...Dumbf***s.....we have a saying..over here...and hopefully this may apply to you....."what goes around...comes around"....now you have a nice day...

Urban dictionary:

Definition of pissy

pissy

adjective

in a bad mood.
                                                                     

                                                                       


this is the one i meant....Pissy | Define Pissy at Dictionary.com
dictionary.referenc e.com/browse/pissy‎
/ˈpɪs i/ Show Spelled [pis-ee] Show IPA. adjective, piss·i·er, piss·i·est. Slang: Vulgar. 1. soiled with or reeking of urine. 2. inferior, nasty, or disagreeable

Ahhhh..I see what you meant now.   I would guess there could be a huge difference in the meaning of a simple word from one side of the ocean to another...my meaning was only "angry "......now realizing this forum covers just about every country when one means angry that's what one should put down

My late mother used to collect Lladro,s..she had around 20 of them....God awful things...I gave most of them away..as Christmas presents...and what was left went on ebay...


Most Lladros need to stay in "Old Lady Land" where they belong. However, I was super glad to get a steal of a deal and MsGhoppr likes it,  so it's all good!!

If you like and enjoy them...it IS all good. "One mans trash, another mans treasure"........
