I was chatting to one of our bosses at work this morning, who had followed me into work in his GT-R (508bhp).

Now, I was sure his car was silver, but he was in a blue one this morning, so naturally I mentioned that I'd thought it was silver.

He explained that he'd just picked it up last night, and that he'd just sold his silver one to 5th Gear which they are 'playing with' in 3 weeks time, then giving it away in their weekly competition!

Knowing how much he cared for it, I will sure as hell be entering the competition (I've never done so before). In fact I've not watched 5th Gear in over a year!

Just thought I'd casually mention it in passing wink

About 2 weeks time. But no harm checking weekly, as my info is '2nd hand'

It will be on, on the 3rd of March.

I've been chatting with the guy again this morning and he misses it dreadfully - so much so he's going to enter the competition to try and win it back hehe

They didn't mention 500+bhp at all, is that their folly, or is the owner streeeetching the truth a little?

Might explain why they were also giving away £1000 towards insurance, and £1000 towards fuel!

In fact here's the guff off the website, no mention of 500bhp...

"We've scoured the country to find this week's competition prize, a mint condition 1995 Nissan Skyline R33. But that's not all we're giving away, we'll also throw in a grand's worth of fuel and up to £1,000 towards your insurance. You'll never find a cheaper way of running a Skyline! "
