I've got too many to list, but I know one thing! 2005 is going to be the best year ever for me and I'm going to have nothing but good luck ...unlike this year!

If I could see my daughter for even just 5 minutes on Xmas day, I'd be the happiest man in the world

Give up this Cosworth Lark by year end.
Get back to more important things in life.
Pray that Naths wish comes true.

My new years resolution is the same as every year and very simple one at that...

Don't repeat the year just gone.

Ie don't live your life out the same way you did the year before - if you do, whats the point of it all?

Some of my resolutions......

1) Stop taking the p*ss out of poor skyline owners who frequent this site as their site is cr*p!!!

2) To stop being paranoid unless I think someone is talking about me.

3) Not be romantically involved with "blonde" women (they all have "issues" IMO)

4) To do more track days and less "show" days.

5) Stop reminding friends that have T4's on their cars that it came off a truck originally!
