Its good to find this Forum.
Let me do a few ramblings
I've known about Skylines for a few years, but never thought I'd be in position to buy one. Still aren't atm, but I've got 1.5 years left on my company car, then I get the chance to opt out.
Due to a certain Webmaster chappie, Im now in the position where I need a Skyline. Its not a want, or a like, *I need* one.
I've currently got a MY01 WRX. I bought it (well picked it from the list of company cars) without really knowing that much about them. I knew about the shape change and that it was now "refined", but I must say, its probably one of the biggest disapoinments of my life. It was not the legend of a car that some people (i.e scoobynet) have you beleive it is. If I'd bought the car with my own money, I'd be well pi$$ed off. Its not refined, its not what I call fast, and the build quality is crap.
I had a 10year old ur Quattro before which was in better nick than my 1.5year old WRX is now. It was a nicer car to drive, just as fast, and you could have a conversation in it without shouting.
Anyway Im now finding out as much as I possibly can about Skyline ownership, pro's and con's etc. before having to make a decision in about 1.5years time. The way I see it now is that if I can't have a skyline, I may as well get a turbo diesel. Not a lot of point in getting anything inbetween.
Anyway, I'll be hanging about on here for a good fair while, so if I ask any stupid question, please forgive me, Im just attemptig to glean as much information as possible. Also getting an idea of what to look for, what goes wrong etc. etc.
If you have experience of going from a WRX to a SL, it would be interesting to read your thoughts..... no rush.......
Thanks for your time. From what I've read, and who I've met so far, you have a nice community. Just don't get too many muppets on board
