Formula Red and detailed myself, and yes they are great to drive, but front ends a bit low for over here in NI and if you raise it the handling is affected at higher speeds.

Sorry, I thought it was a new mustang at first, probably not the best angle to view from. I'll do some googling to find out if it ticks all the boxes.

Do some googling laughlaugh specsavers or something similar. Have you been in a coma for the last ten months? Try looking below the top shelf- Autocar, EVO, Top Gear, or the front page of this web site GTR ring record!
Not meant to be insulting , but where have you been?

But the main question mr bobd is what colour you going to get cool white (but I suspect this will be popular) evil black (less so but still popular) or dull grey smile

If you want to cover your evo magazines with knuckle chutney, you do thattongue out

After a couple of minutes research seems the car has many fans and a big spec. Maybe a bit lardy but the ring time shows promise as being a complete bargain.

It will look great with the self detailed tyresjester

we'll have to compare notes when the gtrs arrive, i too sold the Sag in preparation for next year, plus baby on the way so that boot and little back seats will come in handy. Be interesting to see how the delivery dates pan out when we find out at the end of the month.
Ideally id love to buy my old T350 back which i got new in 05 but unfortunately lack of funds and baby dont allow at the moment

A mate of mine worked for the company thats doing europes marketing for the gtr and we definitely will be getting a track day most likely at Silverstone sometime in the summer, you coming over!

Must admit that evo review was awesome, especially the way they were having to short shift on the cross country test against the R8 just to keep him somewhere in his mirrors.

Cant wait, never thought id say that about a bloody nissan biggrin

Hoping that with the number sold over here that we might get our own trackday at Kirkistown, but if its Silverstone I will be there. My car was the first order downloaded by the dealer here in NI so we will just have to wait and see what pans out. Might get my old T350 back in Sept too.
