Euro Track Car?

[phunky_monkey]

Nah, buying a new race car can't be too depressing!

[NickR33]

yeah but having to sell your arms and legs to buy it only to find out you can't operate all the controls with your mouth IS depressing!

[phunky_monkey]

So what is this cheater GT-R anyway Nick? Pics in Show me your Racing thread please

[funkymonkey]

I like him the way he is now..... alive.

I'll let him have himself an shelby mustang GT500 though.

You two in a committed relationship now hey?

yeah okay will do... I didn't build it tho... after building up my GTSt I realised it would be more economical to buy something already mostly done and just tweak it... If I weren't completely hopeless with a spanner it might be worth it but when your paying for it all it really adds up... as I'm sure your already aware!

well it's not exactly exclusive, or at least it wouldn't be if troy could get some.... lol.

note: fatz doesn't count.

Well ended up hiring a VW Sirroco for the Nurburgring and a Caterham R400 for Spa. It was a whole bag of fun!

[Roy]

hehe, test driving Ring Taxi on Thursday. If it checks out i so am going to just spend the next 3 weeks driving around doing skids on icey roads in the Alps

[phunky_monkey]

So the E39 M5 Troy?? Nice!

[Roy]

NOPE! RB20 goodness.

[phunky_monkey]

You've got me confused now mate!

[Marlin]

** goes looking for Facebook style "Like" tab. ha.

[Roy]

Those crazy Germans may use BMWs for Ring Taxis, but being a tight ass Australian means i will run a povo pack Skyline. Plus, if i break one i have an idea on how to fix it, and have an idea of whether the one i am looking at is decent or rubbish

[phunky_monkey]

Ahhh nice one mate. Would be nice punting something relatively familiar around there too I'd imagine.

Is it just a short term thing, I thought you were due back soon-ish?

[Roy]

Yeh, hire cars are costing me too much money and am doing some touring around Ireland, so have have another 4.5weeks of out and about. Will be leaving it with a friend to either sell or store depending on work has me doing in the new year. At $4,000 i can absorb the short term hit in the hip pocket

[Beer Baron]

yeah good choice! go the warmed over pommy GTST and fang that for a few weeks. will cost the same as a hire car. at say $100 a day you'll be up over $3K in hire care costs anyway and have nothing at the end of it and be driving some rubbish for 5 weeks. buy the GTST, enjoy it for a month or so, then either sell it and you'll still be in front.

[Roy]

hmmm, drunken night on yahoo has me wth a load of cool bts for my car but not much left for Euro cars... 1999 Golf it is for the next 3 weeks

[Beer Baron]

you clown! do we need to have a talk...?

[Roy]

LOL, there is still a chance, but i need "Import Baron" to tell me how to get it back to Aus . Will sms you my UK number

..edit. Shit, just rang the guy and took a deposit on Monday Oh well, there is the other one i was looking at last week, only its more expensive
