Sick of the Cossie, may be time for it to go!!
Sick of the time it takes to get anything done with it. I always seem to be waiting for stuff to get done, and just get fed shit with when it'll be ready 
Just stacked all my bits up in the corner of the garage, which is where they'll stay the way i feel about it at the moment
I'm fed up with all the effort i put into it, and getting nowhere
Feel like selling my 2 and getting an M5 at last
, at least i'll have a bit of spare time at the weekends.

It's gonna be like someone wrote on another topic: all the ford owners are selling their cars & going Jap, or other...and everyone who comes on here isn't going to actually own a Ford in the future.
Seems to be that time tho; all the really good / *rare* cars are up for sale, or have just been sold: thinking of the S1 RST touring car, the Red S1 promo car, Lewis's TRB, SOY recently broken, 3 or 4 of the low miler S1's sold / up for sale, not to mention all the tidy well modded Cossies.

we aint always seen eye to eye, but i think you should get your car to fulfill its obvious potential get all those Horses kicking & it will be seriously quick & i will be the first to give credit. Make totb qualifiers your aim as this helps when you have a Target.

Way I see it is very much like Sean Bicknell did. At what point are you spending more money than getting enjoyment from the car?
As Mike said on another post (Tiffs one?) If he didnt do the track days he wouldnt have the car. Sean sold up and bought a cheaper zippier car (Exige) 90% of the fun of his old Escos, but 30% (est) of the running costs.

Ive always wondered why, given how much you love DRFT why not stop throwing mney at the GTR and get a nice S14,Hachi Rokku*, or RX7 and go do the UKD1
The advantage with buying cheaper to run cars is that you can still go to the cinema, or on holiday every now and then
* Thanks to J Tuner magazine I know know what that means

) is street racing 
(not in day or in built up areas, time and a place...) and the GTR is perfect for that, built in a spec thats totally driveable, but feckin untouchable 
But your TOTALLY right, I did some sums and although its cheap compared to what big spec Cossie and other GTR peeps do, its still a fuckload of cash and im seriously wondering if its worth it at all...
for buying J-tuner BTW, second issue was finished last friday
