Ok, So Today I Went To Book My Test Drive In A R35...

[AGE]

Well to day was the day, i went to the Nissan Musuem in Ginza, here in Tokyo. I'd been practicing my Japanese.... i had the words "Test Drive GTR" all sorted. I strolled in, first thing i noticed that red R35 GT-R thats was there last week was gone and it had bee replaced with some big arse Nissan car.... i think it was called a Teana?? Something like that.

Anyway i went to the counter, and in my broken Japanese i asked for a Test Drive. The Nissan lady (who was quite nice and very easy on the eye), spoke back to me in good english. Sure she said, as she removed a piece of paper with the test drive list's. Handed me the list.... and to my dissapointment, no GT-R

I asked can i drive a GT-R.... and she just kinda smilled and giggled. Sorry we don't test drive that car. Well i was crushed, and she could see it too... so she gave me the new GT-R DVD, and then pointed up stairs to the NISMO stuff.

So here's the pics of what i saw today. Sorry i can't report on the driving of the GT-R. Tommorrow i will be trying a Nissan Dealer... so fingers crossed there.

(I can bring this dvd along to the club meeting if thats cool )

Oh and the pics....

This is what i got from the Nissan Musuem,

And whats upstairs,

Oh and when i left the Nissan Museum i turned a corner and spotted this...

And this is the Red one that was in the Museum last week,

And of course....me in it

Oh what i spotted yesterday,

So far after about 10 days here.... i've seen 5 R35 GT-R's. One things for sure, they are quite. i heard the R8 before i saw it, and the R was the icing on the cake.

s'if NOT bring the DVD to the meeting!

Can we swap so I can go for a holiday?!

[AGE]

The DVD is in NTSC (Never the same color) format, so will that be ok for the meeting Kaz?

I'll even leave it in it's shrink wrapping till the meeting night

Oh my fav from the GT-R catalog... the FULL Carbon Fibre GT-R Attache Case, a mere $5000 AUD

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

aren't we in the age where pal/ntsc doen't matter anymore?

You should have put a monocle in your eye and said. "what are the advantages of this car over, say, a train, which i could also afford" in your best Homer voice. Guaranteed success*

*this is not a guarantee.

NTSC... LOL! Don't worry you will find a way to watch it.

BTW if you had a R35 GTR you would not let many others test drive it unless a deposit has been put down.

[gazal]

I think i might get myself one of those tomorrow.. ...

I wish!

Now you tell me....

(oh and i want my monocle back too )

Failed at the dealer ships today.... buggered if i can find em that don't have these big ass Nissan Targo things to test drive.

I can easily test drive one of these....

But there's not to many places that offer test drives for the R

Oh and the interior of a R35 GT-R

and the ass pic...

So what's it look like in the flesh? I always though the R34 looked better in the flesh (see steel/alloy/carbon )

[LEANBAC]

thats horny!!!!! sooo whats it like up close??? and whats the detail like

[AGE]

Yeah it's wayyyy nice. The thing that really caught my eye was the big slabs of metal they have used for the side panels, and the wheels...they are HUGE!!!

It's actually a big car in the flesh. The interior is very nice, the leather seats are soooo nice and very comfy. The car is so much better in the flesh, pics don't do it justice. Oh, It's has a shitload of GT-R badges...everywhere!! The door sills, the steering wheel, the front, the back, the carpets... badges everywhere. You'll never forget what your driving.

And to start it.... you put it in "H"

[blackrex]

Is that H as in, Hell, gates of?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

saw it @ melb motor show and despite seeing images of it on pc for ages i still had to stare for like 10 mins!

just AWESOME in the flesh!
