Hi guys,
Yes i think we can safely say that owning a skyline over here could be an expensive luxury.I only have a 33 GTS-T-M Spec 11,but still find myself having to watch the pennies a bit.
The GTROC forum is now for all skylines,enthusiasts aswell,and we have now launched our paid up members area of the forum aswell.At the moment we have about 110 forum users,of the roughly 2000 users that are fully paid up members.(this membership entitles us to receive certain club benefits like insurance,tyres,window tinting etc etc etc.)The officials of the club are doing their damndest to get as many deals as they can,to keep running costs to a min,and a fine job they are doing aswell.
As for petrol prices,then i agree with the above,in that no matter what country youre in,80p is 80cents is 80centimes.You get my drift.There are many dealers in the UK,selling GTR's(some more reputable than others,but we all use the known,well documentated dealers,even if they are a bit pricey sometimes.Many of the forum users work at some of these places and they would gaurantee any GTR,GTS etc that they are selling.Their reputation wouldnt allow anything else!
We even have guys on the forum that travel between UK and JP,so the odd batch order of parts quite often crops up.
Anyway,nice to be amongst so many avid fellow owners and enthusiasts.
regards...........Paul.
