I noticed over the weekend that it was for sale mate
Saw a few people giving you some stick as usual for the respray
Glad you got the sills back to standard, looks much better
Good luck with the sale

Thanks Pete.

At the moment Darren nothing. Have no need for a sunday car etc, so gonna do without one for a year or so. But must say I am being tempted into a GTR. Mind I haven't driven one yet so still undecided.

I've being lucky enough to have owned a Nissan R35 GTR 4 years ago, it was used with 20k miles Black edition. I had it Litchfield stage 2 mapped and it was a fast car but if I'm honest if you like driving like I do you you will be disappointed. I had it for about 12 months never really fell in love with it. Don't get me wrong it was great car but for a Sunday 'B' road blaster you can't really beat what you've got. Down the lanes point to point my S204 would leave it for dead. Just my opinion though

That's my worry if I'm honest.

Its not about the outright speed of the car that I'm bothered about as I'm not into traffic light GP's etc. But I don't want to lose the raw sense of speed and feeling that I get from my Spec C.

Maybe I need drive one to know. I did drive an RS6 V10 recently and although it was a very fast car, you could tell it was a heavy car and handled a bit like a boat.

It's all about opinions and how a car makes you feel I suppose. Fair play if we all liked the same things it would be a boring world eh?

Nah definitely mate, after 6 subarus I fancied a change, not sure what's on my bucket list next after this to be honest. Maybe a V10 R8, not sure what else tickles me?

It kinda was Shaun, its been on my mind to put it up for sale for the last 10 months or so. Mainly because I hardly get time to use it anymore and it sitting on the drive is a waste of a great car. So would rather see it go to another owner who will get to enjoy the car as much as I do.

Exactly the reason for getting shot of my JDM. Can't blame you tbh.

I winder how long the "pull" to something else will take though.
