AMT Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Now if I was rich I've always said I'd love an Aston etc I just like big GT coupes and style... but yesterday (and confirmed by driving past again today lol) I notice one of the towns I go past regularly has a nice new GTR sitting in it.... my god its lovely Worst of all technically I could stretch to around £30K (I might not be doing much else for a while but still...pml) and its only £200-300 more to insure than I'm already paying just now.... the running costs would be vile though, but they are reliable.... Excuse me while I go rob some familys savings... Can't wait to see it out on the road (which inevitably I will next to the 60 road ... ) I WANT...A...G..T...R....

ATTAK Z Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I went to buy a 911 a couple of years ago ... umd and rrd about a GTR that was for sale at the same place and then walked past them both and came out with a DB9 ... no regrets but still look at GTRs and think maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I know I think I'd still want a DB9 or something (but then again they cost lots of cash for higher mileage). GTR's seem...."accessible" if you know what I mean lol Anyway that was a bit of a childish excited rant. It does look awfully nice tho....

Will370z Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 They are coming down in price, i think they are amazing but the issue is the running costs, i think they would burn big holes in your pockets, then burn the trousers too. Would love one though. Followed one with rosie on new years day, sounded amazing and flippin heck it was so quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.r123 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Its not fair, my boss's mate keeps coming by the office, had a GTR and v8 M3 replaced it with a farrari 430, now just ordered a 911 GT3.No fair! on the plus side he's a realy nice guy. Now where's my lottery ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Look at the prices of consumables, and then ask yourself if it's still affordable. Brakes, tyres, servicing, shocks, turbos, exhausts, usual stuff than can break. If you can, then go for it. Factor in a big bill just in case (engine or gearbox), and again ask yourself if you can drop that money to get it working again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deank93 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I have a friend who last year picked up an 09 plate for 26k...26k!!!!!! What a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I clearly could not afford the consumables... so a pipe dream anyway lol The price for the power/type of car is ridiculous. If you had £35K to spend on a car and things like consumables weren't so much of an issue, I'd struggle to pick anything else that was as reliable, quick, different and 'reasonably' affordable compared to others. Remind you of anything? lol Nissan are too damn good at this 'affordable' power thing... well I say affordable the new ones are £80K now...and the one in the drive I've seen is a shiny new 62 plate...so he obviously has some cash. I like the fact its just parked outside like a normal car though, there is a garage behind it, but doesn't look like its gonna be kept in it. Respect lol Also if this is referring to me... DO IT!!! Then he can annoy another forum I will never leave, its too much fun having an argument with either DBlock or Ekona...

Dblock Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I clearly could not afford the consumables... so a pipe dream anyway lol So pointless thread is pointless. You just said look at this car I can afford that I can't afford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Noooo, read carefully! lol I did talk about insurance etc just for comparison...for fun...but I think you could tell I wasn't planning on getting such a thing from.... Excuse me while I go rob some familys savings... .... Everybody else got it and commented normally, a bit of chat about the GTR, its cheapness for performance etc. Edited March 17, 2013 by AMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) No, its in the other section, its about a car I've seen. A bit of chat possibly about the GTR... no its not pointless. If that was the case most of the threads in this section would be 'pointless' lol I've got a new car I'm looking at a new car I saw this on the TV... Well... I saw a GTR...and fancied a wee discussion over it Edited March 17, 2013 by AMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I thought it was a women's prerogative to change one's mind. R35's do go well, just a massive car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) BRING IT! haha. Yeah, when I went up to Alex Noble n Sons to check out a car they had some GTRs sitting and its surprising how big they are. Wonder how good the 4 wheel drive is in the snow with all that power lol (Since theres a ton of it lying on the ground here right now...thank you once again Autosock..and Wasso lol) Edited March 18, 2013 by AMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 They really are massive cars, and tbh I think the size puts me off a fair bit more than anything. Even the 350Z can feel a bit big on the roads sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
