24 for a lucky bunny

35 years old, but I'm going to wait and see how this R35 pans out. Tuneability is a BIG issue with me. But in a way, it'd make sense to buy an R35 when I'm 35

There are two for sale in Korea, but I haven't (and no one else has either) pulled the trigger on them - they've got the limiter on them and probably won't sell until delimiting is a clear and easy process, and also, they're both silver - I'd want black. A 180kph limit is absurd.

51 and don't look a day over 60. Mental age about 14 according to my wife.

RodB · 8th April 2008, 02:59 PM

As above in terms of mental age, but 55 when I get one.

As one of the people who work with me said-

" I thought this GTR thing was a mid-life crisis but you're already too old for that !"

Hmph.
