Golgo... Golgone

[Jamezilla]

Well.

It had to happen eventually.

Golgo has been sold

He will be moving to South Australia with a nice new owner late next week.

*sniff

Feeling a bit bummed by it all - so help cheer me up by posting your favourite memory, recolection - or even picture of the mighty purple assassin.

This one sums it up for me:

James

[Mr. Oizo]

The main thing is, you had fun.

So, moving onto bigger and better things?

[Jamezilla]

Thanks for reminding me...

At the moment there are no plans for a replacement.

I'll probably get something much bigger and slower first.

Ideally with a back yard.

That said... a man cannot live by bread alone, and I'm sure having the choice of a crappy Lada or a crappier Lada will wear thin soon enough.

I will certainly keep you all informed

[MRDVS]

OH NO ... How did you give it up, im in pain just thinking bout selling mine even thou im not.. hehe yer that pic is a classic bro i remember seeing it and was like WOW WHAT A BEAST...

Sorry about the news ..

Peace

[Interloper]

Hi James, my favorite memory of golgo was when i was following you on the way back from the GOR cruise. The huge flames it spat out on gear change was something of a highlight on the way back

thanks for the memories

I hope you buy a replacement GTR soon and it better be a R34

[KamikazeR33]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[tom_g]

Its a shame to see it go.

Now whats Snowman going to drive when he breaks his car.

I dont think i've posted these pics before. Sorry about the quality, my cameras a piece of crap.

[dezz]

damn that'd suck to have to let that go!

hope you get somethin new in the skyline family soon

[krzysiu]

First time I have Ever seen golgo.

James told me they are the pics when GOLGO was going up on the dyno for "flame" run (First pic on thread )

1st pic does make GOLGO seem like an assisin comming out of the dark lol

After seeing all the riced up cars at the Autosalon, Then seeing golgo squeezing through people in the showroom with its gruntin engine i went to my friend and said, "Now thats a real car"

[saff_cossie]

One pic of many I have mate for you to enjoy!

Fantastic car but onwards and upwards. Main thing was you had your fun and had your way out with some $$. Good luck with the future mate B)

[syx]

Oh,and condolances and all that =]

Im sure you will get somthing even better.

Hmm.. that time i drove from Salon to the supermarket with Andrew fron Cabin...

we thrashed the A$$ outta it royally along clarendon and surrounding backstreets it was a hooter

nah, just kidding. that was my only chance i drove it, very smooth, GTR's are so different to the feel

[NS2500]

No!!!

Ah well, I know how long you've been trying to sell him. Congratulations to the new owner, Golgo is one fine machine - even if he was always the "town bike"

I always liked this shot - James I owe you a 30x20in print for all those times you let me borrow him - if you can remember a favourite shot let me know:

[sammus]

i always liked this picture. it shows how very practical GTRs can be

seeing as it's an interstate buyer, you'll be left with the plates... will there be a new golgo?

[Mavric]

This is some of the saddest news this year... James we all know you have been wanting to sell the beast for a while, but it's a shame it had to go interstate.. You can always remember the memories that GTR has given you… Hope the new owner enjoys it as much as you have and that the Lada begins to bring as much joy to you as what Golgo has given you…

Just a small picture from the GOR cruise. Will never forget you pulling Golgo out at the back of the pack and stopping all traffic for us to all pull out… for some reason Golgo would be the only car that would get away with that and never get tooted

In saying that congratulations James on the sale and hopefully something bigger at better will appear in the near future.

- a sad day indeed.

The countdown of my favourite memories include:

3. Golgo getting trapped in the garage for several days until the nice locksmith came to his resuce. Cmon - it was funny as.

2. Screeching to a holt on the GOR cruise as we were too busy looking at the scenary to realise everyone else had stopped - at least you know the brakes worked!!!

1. You and Jeremy (in Golgo) and Snowy and me (in the REX) racing around Winton for what anyone would have thought were sheepstations!!!

Anyhoo - he was a beast and will be sadly missed. Let's just hope the new owner enjoys him as much as and you and everyone else who was lucky enough to score a drive.

That said - TURBO LADA here we come!!!!!

[MRDVS]

This pic was taken a while ago possibly 3 years back, at the outlaws 2pac reunion cruise, My bro saw your car and took this pic, i personally cherished it hehe

Peace

[GTSR22]
