Default Saw a Nissan GTR

I was driving through Thame in Oxfordshire today and I saw one of these coming the other way:



I had to double take as it's the first time I've seen one not in a magazine :-) It was in gunmetal grey and looked really good.

Had one parked in our underground garage in London.
Its HUUUUGE, but looks very impressive, everything including the interior looks very well built and that *** just has to be seen really, its mental.

I know, it looks really good in the flesh. Better than in the photos. I didn't manage to see the interior unfortunately.

The stance of the car was really good, very low and very wide like most supercars

The funny thing is an R34 followed me the same day. That car also looked great.

It's weird, you don;t see certain cars for months or even years then 2 appear on the same day. Like recently when I saw 3 Honda Nsx's in random places on the same day!

Been fortunate enough to have a good prod and poke around one in Iain Litchfields.

Absolutely fantastic and now that the Stig managed to beat the Ferrari Scuderia time around the track a much sort after machine.

mine will be here in november,gone for the Black edition,costs more but in black with all the black extras just looks the bizz!!,could have gone for a Porsche for the money,but i think the GTR will leave them standing and also a lot rarer,drove one in Japan last month,the premium model,trust me the acceleration is blistering,seemed to hit 100kph in a flash,and the noise,you just have to hear the thing...cant wait...already sold the CSL and put the money down,just got to find the other half!!!!...gulp!!!!

I had an opportunity to witness new GT-R's acceleration earlier this month when he was easily pulling away from my P1 in straight line. Impressive performance which was to be expected.

Good choice, and good luck!

I'm still wandering if I should sell body parts, or take out another loan!
