New GTR owner

[Calvib]

Also posted on the Jap car section.

I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I've not been particularly into car related things until recently. But, getting into my 'middle years' I thought now or never and, after a wee bit of research, bought a 2010 Nissan GTR - my life has been transformed and I am becoming an obsessive petrolhead!

Love the car and was wondering if there are other members and owners on here in the Aberdeen area? A run sometime or a meet would be great!

Cheers,

Jim

Welcome!

Aberdeen seems to be the hub for GTRs, heaps of them here. Few member owners too, I think!

Think there's a run being organised for the Aberdeen lot soon. Everyone will be welcome.

I've a lowly S14a 200SX, not quite a GTR but I'll get there!

Hey Jim

Welcome ! There is a great meet happening at the Fennel in Inverurie this coming Sunday. Should be a good turnout, so you should drop by. I would imagine there would be other GTR owners there too. I'll be in the White CaymanS, so if you see me then say hello !

Welcome to the forum James, I've been taking a few photos of members cars on Pistonheads and was hoping someone with a GTR came forward. If its something you'd be interested in let me know (thread is: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... )

Cheers
Scott

I wondered how long it would take you Scott.
Welcome James and I can vouch that Scott is not a stalker.
I know of three GTR owners, but all Central/Edinburgh. There will be a few up your way for sure.

Hey Jim. Welcome to the forum! I'm an ex-GTR (33) owner from some time ago so obviously have a soft spot for the 'R35'. Never actually been in one though...

Hopefully catch you on a meet sometime once by lumbering beast breathes some life again!

Awesome, great choice!

Seen a few buzzing around the area and I always have a good gawp as they go by

Get a PH smiley sticker put on.

Plenty of gtr owners on here, some pics of Scottish cars here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.62022155...

Shouldnt struggle for locals, as they are fairly common around here!

[Calvib]

Sorry for the delay in replying but I've not been good at reminding myself to check the forum! Thanks for all the replies folks and I'll keep a look out for meets and the like. I might manage to persuade the wife to come for a spin if it means a breakfast in Fennel! Keen to get educated on all the exciting sports cars that are out there in the north-east (and beyond) - a new interest (aka obsession) for me now.

All the best,

Jim

That's what I was thinking. With a bacon bap in hand from down the road...

Never made it in the end, even to see the cars. From the photos on the other thread I think that I missed out (but my hangover was never going to allow me to attend)!

Are these things every week or monthly at Fennel?

The V8 Breakfast is very week, with usually a couple of nice cars. The Scottish Supercars BHP Breakfast is the first Sunday of every second month in Aberdeen

How was the TVR breakfast. Saw a Sagaris (sp?) driving down Union St Sat early evening - anyone on here?

Was that the burgundy coloured one with silver wheels? saw him on King Street, thought it might have been Hollowpockets but didn't get a good look.

The burgandy one T1VVR was there, as was hollowpockets orange candy car. The burgandy one is being shipped to new zealand on Thursday, such a shame but the Sagaris is about the most common car in the club!
