great car Gilles, congrats.

I've just been out and about and seen the queue going back over the bridge....I'm guessing you are sat in that now!

Awesome car, you in tomorrow?

Awesome car, still have fond memories trying not to burn my calves on the exhaust whilst sitting in the boot with Tim trying to stop it wheel spinning on the dyno

I thought tweenie bought this a few months back

ye Chris you don't look very confortable, but all in a good cause eh

Bit of a funny day for me....

I bought the car on a bit of a whim with every intention of doing the car justice, in all honesty i just dont have the time to get the car doing what it should be doing.
By that i dont mean hitting the drag strip, i mean getting out to shows and meets to keep the legend alive.
Had me n giles not have had the conversation we did a while back the car would be going into storage and more attention paid to it once my 32 is finished.

It was a tough decision, but it is by far in the right hands now.

Even the last few words giles said before it left made it clear it was going to a good home.

Enjoy!

Rob

A legendary R33 with a future that they all should have - being driven, showed and appreciated.

Superb new toy, Giles.

Went out for a quick spin down the motorway in it when we got back from Rob's today (and I do mean a very QUICK spin). The only term that I think is suitable for it is "f'ing ridiculous". It's just not right...

And yes, it has ruined my car for me now - felt like I was running off boost wheen in fact I was on high boost but I did at least appreciate the creature comforts of it... like air-con that actually keeps you cool, an exhaust note that doesn't make your head hurt (or force you to shout to talk to the other person) and a transmission tunnel that doesn't sear the skin off your leg.

Practical it's not!

So in summary... it's bloody ridiculous in every way but it's put the biggest grin on G's face, so I think he's happy. Can't say the same for our neighbours though.

Congratulations, I'm very jealous!

Snowfiend · 4th July 2009, 07:34 PM

Wow! What a day

typical sods law...get out of Harlow onto the M11 and right into 20odd miles of grid lock traffic all the way to the dartford crossing, bugger. The air con feels like a mouse blowing at you and the transmissin tunnel is like sitting next to a fire but I don't care, once over the bridge the traffic started flowing again and got to open it up a bit.

If you've ever seen the apex twin music video "come to daddy" when the creature starts screaming at the old lady...that's what this car feels like...Total assult on your senses...I love it

She's been branded with her GTROC logos now and is tucked up for the night.

clarky_gtt · 4th July 2009, 08:02 PM

good to see it's having a new lease of life, every GTR deserves it, none more so then the rII.

Beaker · 4th July 2009, 08:03 PM

Wow what a car ! !

Bizarre! I worked on that video! The creature was a 70 odd year old bloke who's a mate of the director!

I'll keep a weekend day booked in the next couple of weeks to come over for a gander..... Glad your both enjoying it
