Hi 'tards. Just Got My First Skyline.

[Tony de Wonderful]

Hi, I'm in Perth, been here about three years in total...was a pom in a past life.

Anyway so I've not owned many cars, have driven lots with work (I work in the oilfield and have worked all over like 3 years in Saudi - mental carnage on the roads) like pickups and Camreys etc, no performance cars. Have been in a few STi's and Evos, S2000's but never driven.

So in a mad spending/impulse binge I just picked up a stock '97 series 2 R33 GT25T 40th anniversary. My excuse...I just started working in the office and need a car to commute plus a buddy has an imported R33 and raved about it.

It's only the 2nd car I've owned and I'm 31!

I haven't driven since last year, damn it was weird driving it away. Guy at the yard said "be careful of it spinning out, take it easy". I guess he could tell I was pretty naive with these sorts of cars, still I'm fairly conservative at driving; I had a close call in a pickup in Saudi where I lost the backend...very educational and humbling.

As I drove out of the yard I went to indicate left and hit the wiper lever instead *doh* - didn't realise the indicator was on the right - then almost stalled it. What a muppet!

So I cruised around the industrial estate for a bit just to get a feel for it. Then drove back on the Michell sticking to 100 km/hr. Wow! big smile on my face. Smooth car. Loved it. Way quiter and more refined that an Evo. Just cruises at 100 km/hr like it is idling.

No burnouts yet...in fact I think I hardly revved it hard enough to get the boost on. Don't want to get impounded under the hoon legislation. Speaking of hoons, a Green Commodore ute went past me on the Mitchell like I was going backwards...really gunning the V8. Fcuking dangerous.
