bloody hell Giant, thats one impressive build up. Hope the pockets are deep when it comes to that Nur 34!!

by the way, which USS auction did you go to to see that 34? Did you actually win the bidding on it and how much was the final bid price? Just curious mate!

[Duncan]

But Damn thats a fast lap.

Russ are you going with any Aero aids for the the GTR? or are you gona run it as is?

[T04GTR]

i watched the dutton rally yesterday on fox sports. pitty about the "top end noise" hope the dammage wasnt to bad. also what bit broke in the transmission to lose 5th?

(i bought a ppg and while im inspecting it id like to replace any dodgy factory bits that could give trouble down the road.)

[Angus Smart]

Ahhh i've been waiting for your own thread about this,

What actual class are you going in at tsukuba? or is it the whole open class business?

[evil_weevil]

c'mon mate, back up a bit. I wouldn't necessarily want to share how much my car cost either. but apart from that he may just have skipped the question. does it really matter which auction it was from or how much it cost anyway? I don't think owning a kick arse GTR has anything to do with attitude. in fact yours may be improved if you did own a record breaking GTR as it's not too flash at the moment.

[m3gtr]

you may be right, or you may have misunderstood my point. i couldnt help but ask out of curiosity. they are just questions after all.
