Got a stupid itch for a car...
« on: February 06, 2012, 09:16:23 pm »
 :sad1: don't know why as I've only just gone 2+ but the Nissan GTR has got me thinking about it wayyyy to much  :fighting:
Only had my ED30 for 9 months and I've got it for another 4 years but I can't help but wonder! I'm only 23 so insurance would be a mega mega no no! I'm just being stupid but need to express  :fighting2:
However....when I'm 25 I'll get one  :grin:

Go on then! Start the beating!! :rolleye:

I guess they're ok if your day job is done at night and involves white powder.

A few friends of mine have them and they're not too bad to drive I found but I'd hate to own one especially with the silly servicing costs involved but it would be an upgrade from my big V8 that I'm used to driving :)

I've looked into that, 1st 3 seem not to bad but after that they do cost! Most say if you use them as a road car then there ok but as a track car there very expensive! Tyres brakes etc...

everytime i look at something like that i always think, nah would still rather have an M3, Audi RS or AMG, i dont think Japanese cars date very well as a general rule, GTR might be different though
Diamond Black Pearl Edition 30, still going strong but now back to Stg 1

Agree to a point regarding Japanese cars not dating well, apart from the NSX!  :love:
