Wow, legendary car

Robbie 733 · 3rd July 2009, 08:57 AM

Well done Giles Baby (you nutter !)

Looking forward to seeing you in a tunnel somewhere soon

Snowfiend · 3rd July 2009, 09:02 AM

LOL....we need to go back to Le Mans and find that huge tunnel again Robbie

moleman · 3rd July 2009, 09:15 AM

Nah, Mont Blanc, matey.

Further to go, but over 7 miles. Should only take about 2 mins at 200 mph.

lol

sin · 3rd July 2009, 09:32 AM

Wow, what a piece of kit.

Its cars like this that have made the GT-R the icon it is.

Congratulations, absolutely stunning.

Bajie · 3rd July 2009, 10:30 AM

Sweet.

Cardiff R33 · 3rd July 2009, 10:43 AM

guess you had bought it too but congrats all the same as already said its a legend!

typerchris · 3rd July 2009, 10:53 AM

Well done bud that car is a legend and is a true part of the gtr icon.

JapFreak786 · 3rd July 2009, 12:00 PM

congrats on the purchase,can i ask,is this going to be used daily or weekend car?
you going to be putting in the back seats and carpet back in etc etc?

going to keep on using it on tracks,or drag only etc? sorry for all the questions,i was thinking of getting this when Tim dropped the price of it at first,just never had enough money then

Snowfiend · 3rd July 2009, 12:46 PM

It's definatly not a daily driver Emil, for various reasons.

I will be using it as an occasional road toy but mainly for club track/drag days.

There's no carpet, sound deadening, interior panels, rear seats etc and I wont be changing that. Sure I want to tidy/clean it up and will replace anything that is neccesary with like for like replacements (like roll cage foam, seat covers, harnessess, repainting footwells) but in my opinion you cant really go changing the spec of the car too much from what it is...I told myself I had to accept it as it was when I thought about buying it, it's got too much history.

It's a obviously high maintenance car so am expecting some nice bills along the way and for it to spend a lot of time at the tuners.

As my missus has said to me, "it was bought with the heart not with the head", LOL

But...when you get a nice clear bit of road and get to put your foot down, it all makes sense, it's like being strapped to a missle

Believe you might be coming to the Bruntingthorpe day? Provided I don't get kicked off for noise regs then I'll take you out for a lap as I'm hoping that'll be it's first proper outing.

tonigmr2 · 3rd July 2009, 01:11 PM

I saw that this morning...very nice.

Eikichi · 3rd July 2009, 01:20 PM

AWESOME MATE!!!!!!!!!!

Can't say I've noticed any blisters/rust when giving it a once over with Alex Creasey.

Paint is not a problem, it's had some front end stuff done as part of the prep. Rear bumper has a few marks so that will be done later in the year.
