bazza_g Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 In a moment of madness the bimmer has gone and been replaced with a Nissan GTR :D The 335d was a great car but I'd been missing the noise and, more importantly, the handling - it just didn't want to go round corners or stop particularly well - having read/watched all the hype about the GTR, the scary stories about servicing/tyres/warranty isues it took all of 60 seconds into the test drive to say 'yes' to this one Its a 'ultimate silver' standard edition (the BOSE and auto dimming rear view mirror just isn't worth the £2k-2.5k premium IMO - thats a lot of v-power!), 3 months old with 2k miles. The first owner chopped it in as a deposit for a Ferrari California Going to try and not mod this one for fear of a £20k gearbox replacement but a performance y-pipe and remap gives you 570+ ponies.... I've only driven it back from the dealers so far as I came straight home, hired a vectra and drove up to a wedding in Southport but will be putting that right next week. All I can say for the moment is wow p.s. The dealership has a mint, 1 owner, 6000 mile F40 up for £365,000 in case anyone's won the lottery recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I still can't believe that you managed to buy a new car and then rent one rather than driving it! No way I could have resisted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_simon Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Bazza I can just about imagine how much fun you will have. I remember picking up my WR1 and re-adjusting my brain to the new forces and speeds. The GTR must be just mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Enjoy Bazza, stunningly good car, if I get that lottery win I will take a trip to Andy Middlehursts and pick one up myself. Live the dream and forget about the nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 For the record, I wholeheartedly agree with Naming Stig. Given the standard cars are allegedly putting out upwards of 540bhp, is the Y pipe and whatsit worth it? If you haven't already, you need to read up on David Yu's GT-R in EVO magazine's long termers.

Andrew Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 What everyone else said really. Top work and a comprehensive entry into the world of phenomenol performance I'd wager. Hope you have your full allocation of licence points to "use". So, would your new purchase give you the title of the fastest car on TSN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
