It's Been 10 Years Or So...

[nismoman18]

Hello all Queensland Skyliners, My name is Clint. I have not used these forums for a very very long time, in fact it's almost been a good 10 years since I have been active at all in the Skyline Circle. 10 years ago I swapped my R33 GTS25 (Ref: Avatar, Yep Non Turbo, I was still young back then) for a 200sx (which I still own today). When I was 17 I had always dreamed of Owning a GTR, in particular the R33 (because I am one of those people that loves the R33). I do dream of one day having one of each though I took the leap and added to my garage a very very pristine example of an R33 GTR.

I had desires of owning a mostly unmolested GTR and I was lucky enough to find this genuine gem in a sea of thrashed out clappers. The plans are just to enjoy it as is rather than spend more than I earn on it (other than possibly a Full Exhaust System and Number plates that I already own). My other pride is my Drift/ Circuit Silvia - A continuous work in progress (keep changing my mind on what direction to take with it)

I'm a semi active member of the BMW club Qld as well due to co-driving an E30 race car with my dad

I can't discount my Daily Drive Hyundai Accent either, possibly the best car one could ever own for it's Fuel Economy and overall cheapness to maintain. Anyways How often does the Qld Chapter have Meetups and any circuit outings or Brekky Laps coming up etc?

Thanks

Welcome back Clint

Always love hearing other peoples stories, these cars really are a way of life.

We're all here because we have a passion for these majestic cars.

I, like many others here dreamt of owning a Skyline one day.

I'm from country Victoria so the only thing I ever saw was beaten up Commos & Falcons.

The first Skyline I ever saw was on a day trip to Melbourne when I was about 10 (circa 1998) right on dusk

A beautiful black 33 went floating by chirping away like a little bird with those beautiful red hot plates. Instant love, I knew I wanted one, one day.

I asked my Mum what it was but she had no idea.

A Lebanese man had over heard my question and was more than happy to explain in great detail what it was, what the sounds were and how to get one.

I still love 33's because they are to me the 'classic' Skyline and what I'd draw a picture if asked what a Skyline is.

Welcome back Clint!

Great to hear that you managed to jump into a car that you've lusted after for so long.

We actually have a jam packed events calendar for 2014 which will be released at our monthly members meet - which is this Wednesday.

Look forward to seeing you out at a few events.

Cheers,

Tony.

Not bad. Look for the old frat in the old white wedge. That will be me.
