[BeEnAr]

Yeah if someone here can organise one (and) we can all get our shit together then surely we can beat the poms with a HUGE number,

[MUZT3K]

lol we should get one organised just so we can smash there record in a sec, if most people could be bothered we could get 250+ easily, well organised 300 - 400+

[funkymonkey]

A 2.5 petrol engine in the UK is far bigger than your average car and will cost you a left nut in insurance. GTR's are a status symbol!

Silverstone definately suck the wang, been there with the Ford guys.

Really?!

UK Skyline owners would love it if they had Just Cars Insurance or something equivalent

[HEKT1K]

it sounds good, i'm sure heaps of people would be keen

Yes really

If you pass your test at 17 your be lucky if you could get insurance on anything for under £1000 around $1700 average is around £1500 $2150 per year 3rd party only!!!!!!

You can forget anything over 1.2lt for the first few years unless your pre paired to pay the down right outrages insurance costs some people do. I no some that payied nigh on $5000!!!!! to insure a Skyline but they are young 21 22 and the insurance company see them as a high risk its not untill your 25/30 that your insurance comes down to a more reasonable cost.

I still think mine is a rip off for my Skyline line at £450 odd f/c still nearly a grand $$$ but that is thought to be very good with all mods de cleared and covered like for like with curtasy car and legal thrown in

My mate bought a 1.6 206 pug he was 23 cost him nigh on $3000 per year to insure it f/c just because it was sold as an sxi that year!!!!!! the year before same car same colour but no badge would have cost him $1500 per year less wtf??????

Shit man! That is painful!

You must be privileged to own a car where you live, where as to us they are everywhere.

What's up with UK?

They want you to drive smaller cars or more so don't want ppl to drive...

I was 22 years old and insured my GTR for about $1210 Full Comprehensive with Just Cars Insurance.

And if you didn't know, Just Cars Insurance specialise in insuring young drivers with high performance cars at good cost.

There are others like Shannons Car Insurance as well.

I hate the UK. I hate being British. I have no idea why so many people think its a great place. Its dull its wet its expensive and been run in to the ground further by some fat twat that dosnt have a clue what he's doing and is only there by default anyway.

Ok maybe its nice to visit but not to live.

But then you guys probable think the same.

Yes they what us to drive more eco friendly cars because of global warming blar blar blar so tax gas guzzerlers out of exsistance and thats just about anything over 1.8 yet dont allow enough access to alternative fuel or cars run by electric

Hell they even have an emission tax on top of a congestion charge in some place in london

All because the tree hugers think the worlds going to end.

When you take in to account the emission and the foot print left by places like the U.S and China the U.K is so insignificant

The tax makes no sense anyway Skyline GTST you pay £205 a year in tax as the age of the car its done on engine size not emissions

new cars are done on emissions as a "green tax" the greener the car the less tax you pay.

BUT I drive an "old" car that creates carbon craters and pay HALF the cost in tax per year then that of a new eco friendly car. Humm let me think about what car ill go and get er yeah i think ill go pre 2001 and pay less tax der

There's no logic. Sorry about the rant.

By all accounts it was not easy take a look here and thats just a fraction of the problems almost didnt get the tickets because Silverstone and its piss poor managing agents would'nt send them out. and they want to host the F1 yeah good luck on that one.

I love the last post on the first page: "It was chavtastic!"

If that size skyline meet was organised here in melbourne it would be described as "Wogalicious!"

Cept literal translation to UK english would be "Wopalicious" wog means something else.

I'm allowed to say it cos I's iz one.
