So I'm in Iraq, didnt expect to do much racing, but oddly enough it happened.



So my team and I are manning the radios, waiting for something interesting to happen, which is our norm, If there isnt **** going on. Its about 0200, or 2am for you unknowing types. And we get a call about a vehicle, out after curfew, speeding excessively. Thinking this guy is up to no good, we called up some birds (helicopters) and hopped a ride to this turbo's last reported grid. I'm riding on the "hot seat" of an OH-58 (think the DELTA guys in Black Hawk Down) and one of the guys says he sees the vehicle. Sure enough, I look at where he saw it, and see a car straight hauling ass. We radio the chopper pilot, and drops down to about 15ft. off of the deck, and opens up the throttle. We slowly gain on him( doing roughly 150-160knts) and as we get clooser I notice its a good looking car. Things are kinda blurry and my NVG's are a bit washed out from the lights of a near-by town. But when we got within rougly 100m or so, my buddy goes "Isn't that a Skyline?" Sure enough, I take a close look and its an R33 (turned out later to be a GT-R believe it or not). So we slipped up next to him, then got ahead of him, turned the bird sideways and the helo. pilot damn near parked it on his hood as he slowed down. Long-story short we got the car stopped, thats about the details I can give...but I figured some of you guys might like that story, especially GreyGTC.

i would have just straffed the fucker....

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Yeah that approach is preferrable, but those helo. pilots always wanna play Hollywood https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!



Hell of a place to find one of those.



BTW watch your 6 out there brother.

thats ******* rad.... can your realise any more information?

Thats so cool, a GT-R in Iraq, seriously, I definetlywant you to release more info.

No sorry guys, thats about all i can say. Not that the rest of the story is all that interesting, its just gay little details about certain stuff they dont want us to talk about.

But I'm thinking the guy was possibly Kuwaiti, hence the car. I've spent some time in Kuwait, and anyone else who has can vouch, the cars and racing scene there are amazing. Seeing Skylines, Supras, FD are a daily thing. Ferrari's, Lambos and Porsches are pretty common there too. Hell this deployment when we were staging in Iraq, had to take a little trip from one camp to another. Within 5 minutes on the road I saw a Gemballa Porsche and a couple of very expensive Mercedes AMGs. Also the cars there are dirt cheap, If there was a way to import I would. The guy that does someone of the internet stuff at one of the camps in Kuwait drives a nice MKIV Supra, basically BPU. He said something about picking it up with 65,000km on it for like $13,000 USD.

Friggin rad man. Now go do something about this ludacris gas prices here. This is probably the best kill ever.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif I just want to say thanks for doing wat you are doing! and that was a cool kill story and im with rowtareh about the gas price here at home, but thanks for kicking some ass!

Bad ass story bro.

Yeah I also know of the type of cars that those guys have. Ive seen tons of vid clips of those guys over there....bikes vs skylines, MKIVs vs Lambos. To me the funniest thing is seeing these young dudes in the full outfit...turban and ankle length sheaths standing on the side of the road as the cars go by.

Anyway.....just drop a big ass bomb over there and come on home.

i gotta thank u for all the hard work and for risking ur life over there great story to

SWEET!

yeah dude, your a hero.

Thanks guys, we all really appreciate support. Thats why i left Rx7club.com, i got tired of them firing off all the ignorant questions like "do you know you are just fighting for oil" or "how does it feel to kill innocent people" Real nice to get some support, regardless of how you feel about the war.



In regards to the cars over. Iraq isnt know for its kick-ass cars, even before the war. Rumor has it that Saddams sons had a couple hundred very high end cars. But Saddam torched some of them in the mid-90s because he was pissed at his sons for something. Then I'm sure the war took its toll on the rest, either through being destroyed or looted and stolen. Kuwait, as I can personally vouch for, is full of amazing cars, and I know there a few guys over on Supraforums from Kuwait. Saudi Arabia also has an influx of beautiful cars. You'd never guess it, but Arabs are some major gear-heads. Some of the wealthy guys in Kuwait will own 8-10, 6-figure sum cars. I think its a moot point, but I haven't quite trying to figure out a way to get some of the Kuwaiti cars back to the states. They trade hands around here for half of what they do in the states.

disassemble them and mail them home one part at a time. Or put the car in your duffle bag when you come home.

There are a couple of cherry's running around, I was thinking of hiding it in their ass for an initiation ritual.

LoL not same haircut. I wear a Mo-hawk out here (scares the little arabs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub... ) and wear my hair as long as I want when not deployed (SOCOM modified grooming standards).



"How can you shoot women and children?!"



"It's easy, you just dont lead them as much!!'

Good ****. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png My dad used to have his Nam buddies over and they would sit around and tell their stories; like putting 2 belts through a 60 into a Water Buffalo and the fucker didn't die, it just fell over from the shear weight in one side. I like the one about him taking a Vietnamese officer's pearl handeled .45 and then throwing him out a 2nd story window for taking my dads chair at the bar.

Hahaha, That's funny!

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif Good movie. Come back home safe now, ya hear? There is a budweiser and a burger with yer name on it.

Wow, never thought Japan would consider shipping one of those out to Iraq.

I'm sure it came from Saudi Arabia, the rich fuckers there have whatever they want imported.

saddam's sons had several ferrari's . I don't think ferrari sends their cars there either....amazing what you can do when you're rich.

When I was shopping for an FD one guy had a silver R33 GTR V-Spec II Tommy Kaira Edition with some bolt ons. Damn near creamed myself when I pulled up. His "brother's" FD looked like ****, but it was worth a drive to Tampa.

thats hellarad finding a skyline is not something you do everyday. especially in iraq. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif
