Talking I've succumbed to the hype - bought a GT-R!

Yes, I have been worn down and have succumbed to all the hype. I had to see what people were really talking about and I got myself this beautiful MY09 GT-R in Red...

Funny guy...
I almost thought you'd actually used your pocket change and got a real one

Still the new ones are getting more and more expensive I see which I assume is Nissan trying to recoup the e/rate loss!

Mine is at aboit 570bhp/570lbs I reckon.. still My Sti5 has more power than this...

Trying to flog some stuff in the for sale section but I cannot post a thread.. do you need to be a fully paid up member to sell stuff these days?

AP 4 Pots 304mm whole kit
CompBrakes 4 Pots 330mm for the rear.. you'd need a lot of power to justify this though the calipers are quite small at least
4*16 Inch sti5 original gold wheels/tyres
Nordic Track C2500 Running Machine - mint
3*Bikes
Genesis Amps
Other stuff

At least there is ebay....

I had all the stereo equipment at one point - £k's of it and what a pointless waste of time
I should have just done the stereo and front speakers like you did... inifinity's or something like that you had (I cant remember it was about 11 years ago ;-) ).. nice simple affair

I'm just trying to do a clear out finally.. I'm hogging too much stuff

I also have a 5 Speed PPG and a 2 Liter Roger clark engine.. but hey.. and a lot more.. though a lot of that is up in Yorkshire

Viper green is great.

Orange is even better.

(But only on a Lotus or a Porsche.... )
