lol @ wife's car.

i don't get all the fuss... i have a small(ish) turbo japmobile... but i can still appreciate a big stinkin' 7L v8

[funkymonkey]

Is it just me or is the commy parked in by teh GTR? lol guess he mustn't drive it as much anymore.

But yeah, would be awesome to have an LS to daily and a VR for weekends.

I met this owner recently & he is a major Holden head (read HSV dealer) who needed to see what all the fuss was about.

Another Holden/HSV dealer I know well (on TV recently & loves to 'Cruze') is taking delivery of his new R35 GTR this week so it is interesting to see how Directors of other car dealerships are spending their hard earned money on new Nissans!!!

Go GTR..........

[Juan]

i wonder which is his daily??

I have to say, I'm car enthusiast first, nissan enthusiast second. I love my nissans and have liked everyone single one I've owned, from a POS R31 5 speed 4 door that I bought for about 500bux, right through to the first 32 GTR I bought (and loved and still own) through 33GTRs, 34GTRs and even yes 35 GTR. I've also enjoyed my JDM 06 liberty GT (2l twin turbo), I love DC2 integra type Rs, and I'm about to import a 2004 JDM Honda Civic Type R for my gf and I as a daily. I love my RX7 and my silvia too. and I love my holdens and fords as well. hell I even love some euro junk. E30 M3 is up there with my favourite cars, love the old 840 BMWs, love old alfa. I just love cars. sure I have a particular soft spot for nissan product and R32 GTR skylines in particular but that doesn't stop me enjoying just about every car i've ever stepped into. I cannot stand people who seem to think that the particular car they own is the best car ever made and even worse is the ONLY car worth owning. that's not true. I say own and drive as many cars as you can, cause there's lots more good ones than bad ones out there.

If only that theory could be *easily* applied to women

Gotta try'em all...

beautifully put... 10/10 for you sir

[Col-GTSX]

You hit it on the head Rich...

And Shan I have an LS for a Daily and a SR for the weekends...

So close...

[EVO8-U]

The Holden has a race car feeling with the interior and engine bay both but the gtr is a gtr. Either way thats a dream garage to have... to you.

I find cars are much cheaper to run.....oh and I have always had a tear in my eye when I have parted with a car....

Definite golf clap Richard, well put.

Col: Me too mate, up until a few weeks ago. It's not a bad combo!

[williamsf1]

A picture says a 1000 words, and R35 GTR is a GIANT!

So Julian got a new set of wheels eh.... I do rate the 427!!!! I wonder what his opinion is on both?????

His garage looks like mine! (seriously).... I'm guessing inner city luxury townhouse!

[Munro]

Ah not quite, Julian has just got a white one to replace his white 997 GT3 which got stolen!

Bravo Richard, well said. Pity our sheds are not all bigger. If mine was I would go for :-

Mansory Vincero - Go The Carbon (But as there are only 3 I may have to put up with std Bugatti Veyron!!!)

Lamborghini Gallardo 560-4 ( Saw 3 of them last year at showroom in Dubai - pure porn on wheels)

Porsche 997 GT2 (what can I say - may be a GTR head but I still love hot porkers)

Mercedes Benz E63 in Black ( Something classy to take the family out to dinner in)

FPV F6 in Blue ( Home grown hero - if you haven't driven one you should - great drive)

Holden HKS GTS monaro ( bucket to drive, But I love looking at the old girl!)

[Beer Baron]

my god if I actually had any space and any decent money I'd start with:

E30 M3 Evo - such a great car to drive. a mate has one in japan (they can drive LHD cars there) and I am insanely jealous)

Gallardo Superleggara (took one for a spin recently and the noise is just insane and all the little bits of carbon are awesome)

F360 Challange Straddalle (yeah getting on a bit next to a 430 but they are cool)

I would also re-buy pretty much every GTR I've owned to have at once the complete collection (i did have 32, 34 and 35 at one point but briefly)

I would keep the RZ RX-7 or maybe get a spirit R for something pretty much the same but a little different

I would get Hayashi-san at Garage Saurus to build be up a serious R32 GTR

I would get Nagata-san at Top Secret to build me something stupid, like the V12 Supra, or the V8 GTR he made etc. (though next to Saurus top secrets work looks a bit cheap, true).

I would have for track fun my little GTST with 2.2L SR20 with TD06 or 3037 making around 300rwkw, with sequential box etc. would be great fun, and LIGHT.

1980s Alfa GTV6, great car and amazing sound track

Get the DC2 type R in there, still a favourite drive

and the EP3 Civic type R (JDM model not sold in aus)

Then the old favourites, Lambo Countach in white of course

and a lamba Diablo SV. my god do they still have presence on the road. it has that do not fck with me look about it!

my "take the wife somewhere nice" would be an Aston Martin, V8 Vantage, just a nice car with nice engine note

and a Lotus Esprit S4S, one of my favourite looking cars.

I would also find the bloke that bought the 427 monaro for 1mil and promptly buy it off him. love that

a few other monaros in there to, including an HK for me too.

Ford Sierra Cosworth of 90s vintage, they were a weapon in their day.

and a 997 GT3 porsche for some winding road fun

ok, I've said too much! Basically my advice is drive as many cars as you can. if you have a mate with a cool car, ask for a steer! Pretty much anyone i meet if they seem sensible and trust worthy I will let them have a steer of any of my cars, because I love to share the driving experience. telling a bloke who loves cars how awesome your car is to drive is just cruel, but let him drive it and then talk to him about it and share that enjoyment. one of the best bits about owning a cool car is letting a mate drive it and watching his face as he first feels that thrust, or feels how sharp the turn in is, or how much grip it's got, or how nice it sounds at 6,000rpm etc.

so the two pieces of advice are, drive as many cars as you can, and let as many people as you can drive yours. both parts are equally rewarding.

[Birds]

Good advice^

Some friends I avoid letting drive my car/s because they aren't very sensible or they just plain don't know how to drive a manual properly. Others I have no hesitation about. And it is nice seeing someone else enjoy your car on the same level as you. Have had some trusting friends let me drive their cars and it's always nice when they bestowe that upon you.

[Munro]

Yep, its good to share (Cars that is) I took someone in my R35 the other day straight after getting the mid pipe fitted & let them have a go too. He was wrapped that I let him but you are right, why not.

Expensive car yards dont like it very much though!!! I have driven a number of Maseratis, Ferraris, Porsches, BMWs etc on the off chance I might like to buy one but mostly decided to stay with my Jappers - ha ha.

Agree about the Diablo - they just say &$^% off awesome looking cars.

Too many good cars out there - Not enough time (or money) I am trying to cut down anyway.

The cops are trying to cut us down too. I only had my R35 for 2 weeks before they decided to store it for me for 7 days!!!

When I went to pick it up from impound it was surrounded by VL & VNs with flat tyres & the GTR seemed quite happy to get out of there. I dont think it liked Hoon jail very much!

[Birds]

What did you do to cop the impounding?
