As soon as i can scrape together another £10k i'll probably try a clean Skyline too!
In the meantime pleased with MY01 which will shortly go under the "Scooby doctor's" knife for some corrective surgery.

WOW! not sure about the bonnet pins though but WOW!

I imagine there is a fair bit of money spent on top of the 40 to 50 odd k to buy the thing in the first place. Look at those wheels and that intercooler!

Jon - I know - Given the choice of say one of these, an Evo6, a R5 GTT and a scoob, it would have to be the scoob every time.

just the sort of cars that a skyline wannabe would be driving I reckon. My psychological profiler says so anyway. What sort of car have you got?

You can get a playstation for 200 quid now. Add on a steering wheel and a seat, a really big screen and you could have a skyline replica for about 2 grand


p.s Jon - What do you mean slow bloke. Ballymena to Larne in 19 minutes in a 996 cc Fiat Panda. That is 21 miles of back roads for the rest of you

ballymena to larne in 19 minutes!! bet that was a hairy sail fast bloke 19 minutes to cover 21 miles is about an average of 60mph! i didnt think a 998cc panda could do 60!

Saw your website - nice cars. Girlfriend used to be from Ballymena - travelled the road at least twice a day for 2 years. I was only 19, so didn't realise that traffic could come the other way round blind bends etc. The Panda (note capital letters)would do about 85 flat out. It weighed ferk all, so would corner flat out as well. Could get it over 95 coming down the Larne side of Shanes hill. Eventually wiped it out on a patch of slurry below Kilwaughter cross roads. Sister wasn't too please. She still had a year of the load to pay with third party insurance....Oops

That would be one of the blind bends/wrong side corners I was talking about.
