There aren't any GTRs in the UK yet, only a handfull of press demostrators in Japan. I reckon we may see a few air-freighted over here by summer 2008, with UK launch in March 2009 (09 Reg!)

there's a big article on the GT-R in this months Top Gear magazine, the Stig has already driven it, out in germany though

off the website:

First of all, Top Gear is still on BBC Two this Sunday, but it's on at 9pm instead of the usual 8pm.

So that's 9 O'CLOCK. PM. An hour later than usual.

Which is probably quite fortunate, considering that the star in the reasonably priced car is none other than Lily's sweary dad Keith Allen, so expect a Morse Code style beep fest come the repeat on Wednesday (which is on at the normal time of 7pm).

The Stig takes out the mightily impressive Ascari A10 for a power lap, and James races some yoofs on BMXs in Budapest. They're on the bikes, he's in a Fiat 500.

And as you might remember Jeremy saying on last week's show, the big news is that this Sunday sees the three of them take part in their first ever competitive event, the punishing Britcar 24 hour race at Silverstone, using the fuel that they started growing last season.
