So I had an amazing opportunity to purchase a GTR!

Until I remembered I haven't driven a manual in 5 years. So, I'm not going to purchase it, as I'll look stereotypical. IE: Buying a vehicle I can't drive, like an old person buying a lambo.

Let this be a lesson to y'all! If you don't want your dreams crushed, make sure you're always preparing for whatever could happen in your life.

I drove a manual up until 1985.......... Drove Auto Commodores and Falcons until 2003.

Bought a manual Brock Commodore then......... 18 years between gear changes. I was comfortable with it inside 500 metres.

Sorry your post doesn't make sense.

lol this thread is funny. Anyways, back in the day, I bought a manual 240sx. Couldn't drive a manual AT ALL. Had my LITTLE brother test drive it for me with me in the car. Bought it.....30 minutes later....I could drive a manual lol. It's not hard. All 3 of my vehicles are manuals now. The real story of this post should of been.

So I had an amazing opportunity to purchase a GTR! But I got to scared so I didn't.

If you knew how to drive a manual, you would of bought it. I haven't rode a bike in 10 years......bet I can pick it up in 5 seconds.

Which model did you get bob? My old man still has his vh group 3 in red which he bought in 84 :)

LOL.......... If you're Sydney based I'd probably know him!

Ironically I've had 3 VC HDT's which are the original 1980 ones. Made 500 based on an SLE so it had all the plush stuff.

All 3 were Firethorn Red (Burgundy), 2 manuals and 1 auto.

Bought the best one in December 2003 and sold it in August 2007 at the height of the Australian Muscle Car boom.

Good cars but light years from an R32 GT-R. Roughly tens years between them but it's horse and cart stuff by comparison.

Anyway here are a few pics from 2006.

Cheers,

Bob.

I'm going through with it. I'm not going to ***** out on this. I'm American, hence my attitude on the difficulty (IE: Price) Of GTRs in the states. I live in Japan at the moment, so I'm able to get one priced fairly. I'm quite excited.
