aw shucks.

Yes Daimo, ONLY skylines. They have been done to death really, just never ever seen the attraction to them.

My old GTSt might have been considered "only" a Skyline - but I loved it

290hp and RWD with an exhaust you could get your fist into..

Keith man. For the record, you are a funny *******. I have to say it, you crack me up.

I actually sort of agree with you. These cars do nothing for me, the way that a lot of bikes do. They dont give me the jelly tummy feeling. I accept that they are fast, and that mpeg of the skyline trying to climb off the rollers was a bit
But, all in all, they are cars.
I completely respect the physics, and the elegance. But they leave me cold.

Having said that, I saw last years Beneton F1 car up close. This was pretty amazing. The weirdest thing about it was how small it was. F1 cars are titchy

Seeing as the well heeled wheels of choice in Dublin right now seem to be anything with the AMG and 55 combo attached I reckon the old 911 wouldn't be too insecure nestled amongst these pluotcratic chargers.
I'm buying neither, a house is in the offing so I can hardly afford to wipe my ar5e not a mind dabble in the Stuttgart black arts. Still I'd go the GT3 route if I could afford it. Maybe if I win the Lotto or Euro Millions . . .

Interesting. Interesting, I know though, Dublin is awash with the neuvo-rich. Terribley gauche altogether with their spending habits. You should be drinking your money away, not frittering it away on blingin' rims and the like.

So where are you buying the gaff then? Just dont tell me its in pox ridden Lucan or something. Here, are you southside scum like myself? Mate of mine just picked up an absolute dump out near Killester, just off the Howth road there. So now he is a Northsider... And wouldnt tell me the price cause he was mortified about it. I obviously havnt spoken to him since. Bleedin northsiders.
Nuts man.

Anyway, I would get the bottom car. It looks emm, sporty.

Take it easy.

Thats a perfectly fair opinion. Looking at some cars (if the right one comes up) can make me get all excited

But, its when you go out in them. Sitting on a bike doing a quick 30-130mph blat is good fun.....
but
In a car, you get forced into the back of your seat, and on some of these silly quick skylines (we're talking into the £100,000's to get around 800-1000bhp) and the experience is something else.

Yeah. Totally agree with you. I was in one once, and it was a beast.
And, actually, I juts saw a paked Modena there, the one with the window thing over the engine, I had a good ogle. And, quite enjoyed it.

Buy one of these. Then, with the change from the price of the 911, tune it to within an inch of it's life!

Sorry its a japanese cortina! IMHO.
