My Latest 'mod' To The Gtr

[Z1LLA]

Hey guys,

During the week I had the stupid/crazy idea of getting Mark Skaife/Jim Richards to sign the glovebox lid from the GT-R the next time the V8 Supercars were in Melbourne. With the Sandown 500 on this weekend, it was as good a time as any, so I went along today with the high hope of getting them to sign it. Here is the result

I got Jim Richards to sign it when he returned from his Porsche cup practice session and he was great about it, when I told him it was for my GT-R he said "Oh Top Stuff" and happily signed it and the cases of two 1:43 scale race GT-Rs I have too.

Mark Skaife was a much harder man to catch, after waiting patiently along the fence near their trucks, after nearly an hour I decided to walk into the fenced off pit area behind the pit garages and track him down. Luckily I did only a couple of minutes later. He seemed very busy and not that interested at all, but I expected it (and fair enough he does have a lot of stuff on) but I still told him how much I appreciated it.

Anyways just thought I'd share the pic, I thought if all the HDT/HSV owners do it with Brocky etc, I can do the same with my car, and I don't think too many GT-Rs would have that sort of thing.

Cheers

Second that and agree you have increased your cars value...

I wish I had them on my dash....

[dan_the_man]

mint idea

[eMsta]

so....that raises the value by 5g or 10g? Hey, maybe you are the only guy in Aus to have an r32 autographed by the guys who blitzed the race back in the 90's!

[ctjet]

why dont you get somebody to embroid it into the glovebox lid? can that even be done? would look mint as

good job on catching Skaify... hard man to get a hold of

[Z1LLA]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Didn't do it to raise the value of the car, I don't believe it has/will, would be better off getting a standard glovebox and selling that one on ebay or something if I ever sold the car haha.

But I guess it does make the car a little bit more unique compared to the other ones out there.

Couldn't really embroid it as its hard plastic? And yeah Skaife sure is very hard to get hold of, I was lucky I reckon

Cheers

Hi again' I have a Noval idea.

Get both of them to autograph our stickers before we get them made.

That way we get their signature displayed on all our Skylines.

We could pass them a couple of bucks and say that they have made their previous followers and

current ones really happy.

[Ronin 09]

that would look mint on my aussie 32gtr.

give it here.

now.

its the word in vic...i wouldnt go so far as to call it cool ....

I used to be a ford forum member, and a lot of the guys there get there engine or rocker covers signed by v8 supercar drivers etc....never really thought about doing it on a skyline, but I guess you got 2 relevant signatures

[saff_cossie]

Looks superb. I wouldnt put it on the car though incase it gets damaged. Put it on a shelf or in a cabinet as a talking point when people come over for a drink.

[Downforce]

Ohh, that's awesome! Jim Richards is a legend. I like the ATCC and bathurst touch

[R32Big_boy]
