Default Bit of a dilema
I'm having a moment of darkness, and feel like I've fallen along the wayside:

should I sell the scoob and get a Skyline R32 or R33, or just keep the V-Limited?

I've seen a tasty looking Skyline in Jap performance and having doubts

Did you see my mates 890bhp Tommi Kaira R33 GTR at the Poser's cruise. Robbroy will tell you how much of a crazy motor that is ... 130mph in second gear!

I'm looking at the R33 GTS 25T Type M, The scooby is a good motor, but fancy some rear wheel drive action again!!

Decisions, decisions

When I saw the title, I thought you couldn't decide between the little black number or the red off-the-shoulder thingy!!!

totally agree with you Alex, R34 GTR V-Spec in bayside blue

It's not definate with the Skyline, just an idea.

Keeping my scoob just has the edge I'm considering using it as my demo car on what can be done on a tightish budget

people have a lot of probs with R33s, I mean my friend with the Tommi K one had a bog R33 before that and was constantly paying out on it. The current one costs him nearly 2k a month in up-keep.

Only skyline to buy in my opinion is the R34 GTR. Loads on Autotrader at the min.

After talking to Wilf's father in law, about how cliquey the Skyline club is, a mate who had a Tommy Kiera Impreza and sold it to get a Skyline(who now regrets the swap), and others, has made me decide to keep the Scoob, though ABW's Type R does sound tempting
