I have not had time to upload pix of my new car, but I picked up my Skyline on Friday.

Here is the link to the for sale advert.

I'm getting the graphics taken off soon, but the car overall is fantastic!!!

I have never laughed so much while driving a car.

i'd hate to see the insurance premium on that ..... and thats from someone who insures a TVR Cerbera.

I'd leave the graphics on

Nice car.

Graphics off for me, will look pretty mean w/o the purple witch IMHO.

So who do you insure with?

I think I'm going to leave the graphics on for another month or so and then decide what to do with them.

spotted you on friday night I think, on Sunderland Road, next to the redhead park in Shields

The graphics are awesome - leave them on!

I will have to take a closer look sometime.

Were you at the car park next to the Tuxedo Princess in Newcastle on Saturday morning? Looks like a load of JapCar rockets meet up there.

Yes I was there. It was Jap Car Show organised by a guy from the Supra forum. I had the car on show for about an hour then left.

Love the wheels aswell.

Only critisism I have is the black bonnet. But I'm not sure if it would look worse or better with a white bonnet

Looking closely at the bonnet it looks as if it might be carbon fibre so will probably look better in the flesh. A purple/pink bonnet to match the graphics and wheels would set the car off nicely though.

It is a 4 vented carbon fibre bonnet, and looks excellent up close.

If anyone fancies a bit of an impromptu South Tynside meet on Sunday give me a shout.

Edited to add it is the Newcastle game on Sunday, so Sunday is probably out.

imo the graphics look chavvity chav chav!

white skylines always look better plain, and polished to within an inch of their life!

other than that, it looks like a proper weapon! if you want any blitz goodies, gimme a nod in about 3-4 months time and I'll see what I can do!

Cheers for the spin out GMan, lovely car.

I'm sure one fine day we'll meet for an ice cream down South Shields.
