put a deposit on the GTR yesterday afternoon after driving a few more and then this white one again, and giving it the once over on a hoist.

the 1200 is going. I know it will be sad to see it go, but I think its worse to leave it sitting in a corner not being used. The coupe is simply not an option for a daily driver. And like I said, I've had my fun with it. I've never owned a car as long as that coupe - its 10 years now I worked out last night. I've developed it as far as I can without throwing ridiculous amounts of money at it that will simply not add to its value, and for almost the same $$$ I need to spend to get it up and running as fast as it was last year, I'll get into this pretty damn quick GTR, which will be a whole new challenge. And it will probably not loose much value at all.

No point keeping the 1200 - if I haven't done anything about getting it back on the track all year while I don't have another fun car to drive at events, I can't see myself doing anything to it once I've got the GTR! And it will most likely go to a mate involved in motorsport up here.

There's no-one competing in 'proper' events up here in a GTR, and I've only ever seen one or two other Skylines at an event ever. I think this GTR should be really fast striaght out of the box with some race tyres added, and there's some very strong WRX's competing up here as well as the odd modern Porsche to try and annoy. I'm really looking forward to it!
