GTR Test drive [Now with pics on page 8]

Uuurrggh, just seen that image of mouldy teeth above :pukeright:

 

How / why do people let their mouthes resemble stone henge like that? :cuckoo:

Used to work with a guy who never cleaned his teeth and the green mould around his gums was utterly rank, as was his breath, but he was completely oblivious to it!

 

Anyway, congrats on the GTR, I bet you can't wait. I was looking at the specs of GTRs trying to work out why they're so quick, because 500hp is relatively average these days and it's a heavy car, but it's because it makes something like 90% of it's peak torque at 2500rpm and holds it to at least 6K, that's fruitin impressive :notworthy:

It's a pity you live so far away... :tongue:

Hehe, petrol and insurance. Insurance costing me £2k :censored: I do have 9 points on my license though :lol:

Here is me at everyman driving, its a awesome car for the money and the gearbox is immense you dont loose any forward momentum.

 

 

 

Easy tiger! looked like you almost jizzed yerself! looked like fun tho!

My mate picked his GTR up last week - Black Edition. It is an awesome car and he's dead chuffed but said it is nigh on impossible to park - it's huge and the rear visibility is terrible! He lives in and works in a city centre...a Lambo would have been more practical! I know that these cars aren't bought for they're practicality but be careful not to curb it!

 

On that note, he also took it into a multi-storey (pillock) and got stuck - he now has an offside front alloy which needs replacing as the only way he could get it out was to scrape it out!! DOH!

 

Full set of tyres £1800. Full brake service required at 20,000 and approx. cost of £3000 he thinks. I don't think he quite foresaw the running costs! I just hope you're doing more private than he is - he's a GDP too!!

[culshaw 1]

a dentist at my local surgery has one as well... maybe theres a dentist only incentive!

[big ben 10]

ouch, them running costs suck!!! i will stick with my corrado

[Dr Forinor 0]

I know about the running costs, which are not good, and yeh, parking it is a proper b!tch. Thats why I went for the rear parking sensors hehehe.

 

It's not gonna be my main car, the Corrado's for that so I'm hoping the running costs wont hit me too hard, guess we'll find out soon enough eh.

 

Yeh I went for the Black Edition aswell :D

[big ben 10]

Haha, I'm trying to limit my costs (says he who buys a GTR :cuckoo: ) and here's you adding stuff to the list! :tongue:

speaking of running costs.......... don't nudge anything... EDIT - although, it seems there was a mix up in the pricing... still... can't imagine that would be a cheap fix...
