Car of the Month - August
 Congratulations to Graham Foulston and 'Ting Tong'. Graham brought his Figaro in September 2008 and according to him a year on its still very much 'work in progress'. The car has some very unique parts such as the rare boot rack which according to Graham is 'extremely rare'.
The exterior looks stunning but it's the interior that requires closer inspection. Everywhere you look there is superb detailing and the car it's packed with 'James Bond' gadgets such as an upgraded Clarion CD, gear shift, integrated iPhone and MP3 player with over 2000 tracks! Watch out for Ting Tong in the next 007 movie when Graham will be installing a hidden ejector seat button and machine gun!

The new hobby of 'Global' Figaro Spotting!
 Thanks to member Heather Denny sent us this picture of a Fig whilst holidaying in the Ski resort of Whistler British Columbia. She was amazed to see one so far away from home! We know that they do have a cult following in Canada and have a couple of links on our web site from Canada.
If you have not seen them Watch Now. In fact Heathers picture got us thinking... what about other countries? Next time you're on your holiday and happen to see a Fig then get snapping and send us the details, it would be great to see one parked in say Venice!

I know it's sacrilige but I have a dog who needs to go in the car and so need to protect the back seat, I have a universal waterproof cover but it's a terrible fit and doesn't stay on.

How Many Figaro's in the UK - Update
You will remember last month when we reported on the clubs application to the DVLA to try once and for all to nail this million dollar question! Well we have had some interesting feedback. Members Gareth (GJNORTHALL) and Brian (JAP CARS & PARTS) contacted us and said that if we ask the question - how many Nissan Figaro's are there - we will get a very small number from the DVLA records.
The reason is that most V5 documents don't have the name Figaro on them! The right question to ask is - how many Nissan's are there registered with a VIN number starting FK10. We have revised our request and await a response. Watch this space...
