I had fords for about 10 years and spent near on 3 figure somes over that time

Nearly every week of that time i recon something broke or needed updateing . Bought an R33 GTR which was about 450bhp and fookin loved it. Thrashed the shit out of it and never had a single problem. Cost next to nothing to service bits were reasonable as you tend to get better stuff anyway.For the price of em i recon they are great and very reliable. Ofcourse there are shitters out there which will fuck up but then you get that with everything.
Agree with everything deano said, its nice just to no you can go and do hundreds of miles without half your tool kit and spares in the boot

and the fact it will start every time.
going to get an R34 GTR very soon and cant bloody wait.
