Nice.

I've not been in a newer one for a few years now, but the howl of that engine at high revs makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

When I got my Spec C a few years ago I went on a driver training day. One of the cars was a GT3. Don Palmer took me around the track in it and within 30s I knew that I had to own one. It wasn't particularly quicker in terms of lap times than the Spec C, about the same, but that noise!!!!!! Once you have heard it there is no going back

I do hope that most would like to enjoy the car - and I will happily come along to events if people want to see it. As I said it is a privilege to own it and if that can be shared then all to the good

As for the looks - well they are a bit marmite - but the best thing is that from inside I can't see the outside

And being inside it, driving, is what counts
If an event is taking place on my drive would you attend?

That's so familiar... to a bug-eye owner

This thread has everything - a nice car, some comedy trolling and some sharp wit. Just what the internerd was made for!

You are welcome. In the New World Order I know that it is only right that a Porsche lets a Skyline past.

It may be a Pyrrhic victory however

LOL. Totally agree, I hovered over the ban button but Trout took it in his stride and it diffused itself, but I must admit, I had to laugh at the sneaky "Golf In A Dress" retort after hours. ROFLOL

I know there is a long term member on here who has just bought a TT-RS, who is in Aberdeen who stopped posting the very same day LEO-RS was created.

Of course there could be two members from Snet, with TT-RSs who are both live or work in Aberdeen; who by coincidence do not post on here at the same time.

Saw this at Oulton yesterday looked brilliant, apologies if we got any drool on it whilst having a nosey...

Don't think you were on track, else we'd have got some pics for you.

I know curiousity killed the cat but who is it? Just how shallow minded and envious would you have to be go to such lengths to offend someone?

It could be complete coincidence, but could the answer be in this thread?
