Here the first pics i recieved today of my new car. Its on the ship ready to come over and i cant wait. Its fully loaded with all available options....i found the white seats a bit wierd tho...i didnt know it had them, ill see how they look in person or just re leather them in bently stitched black.









Interesting point. The dealer that i picked it up off has sent a lot over to europe and has said over and over again the usa model has maps for usa canada and europe built in. If it does its happy days!

anyone know wanywhere in the west imdlands or north london where i can gt it serviced as it will be doing 20k plus a year. also anyone know who would be est to do insurance through?

Always wondered this but how come you preferred to import from the USA as opposed to Japan?

Looks awesome either way, besides the seats, they come across as a bit odd.

I was never into the old Skylines, a bit too dull looking for my tastes, but this new 'un looks pretty different. I love the rear view, the way the tail lights mirror the exhuasts, and the sculpted bumper really means business!

Sweet! Enjoy. I am curious why you went for a left-hooker though. And if that's your actual list of cars smile

Can i asl what cars are you driving nowadays? Alot was made over your collection at one point which if im correct was an Enzo/Mclaren/Phantom/599 x2 did you take a few months off shopping?

Anyway very nice car!

The seats might actually look ok. Some of the old 200sx have light leather seats as standard I believe and they look smart with the dark dash.

Very nice replacement for the ST sir!

If only I had the option to run a GTR as the daily drive... fair play to you mate, hope youv still got the Enzo though

HAHA yeah... i just got a call from her.... "saying did you ask someone to call me?"
