Like that, reminds me of Geos car. (6 spoke wheels instead of 5)



Obvious question though, why now keep the Sierra?

You are right Ima, Ferrari is more 'special'

BUT I wanted a practical 4 seater thats still a bit of fun.

I love Ferrari's as well... especially Yellow 360 Spiders weathers not quite right at moment though.

Hows yours been, using it much?

Theres better shopping cars. Even if you want a fast one like a M5 or an RS4. You bought this to go fast in.

Personally, (hypothetically really as I havent the money) I would find it difficult to get back into any Sierra. (even your rather special item) after driving a GTR around. And I suspect Id be making the GTR the track car, selling the Sierra and buying a "normal" shopping car. I cant imagine for an instant Id want to leave a GTR34 in Bluewaters/Tescos* car park! Just think if the shopping trolley dents, and people opening doors onto it

* I suspect you're a Waitrose person though

Sierra is VERY VERY fast on a circuit and will just get FASTER, we are only scratching the surface of its development. Its getting totally rebuilt and will be a different car when it emerges. Its also something that I don't mind sticking in gravel traps or heaven forbid on its roof one day!

Skyline is an overweight, overcomplicated, bus compared to Sierra and is not suitable for what I want from a trackcar. Its a lovely car and will get used for different things, as will my modified Boxster which in my opinion is a FAR better car than either the Sierra or Skyline! That car makes me smile everytime I drive it

I may get something else as a trackcar as well though.... I really like Caterham R500's... small, light, FAST and FUN!

and sadly yes I am a Waitrose Person

Thanks for all the comments on the car guys, She is a beauty isn't she

Nice one...This used to belong to friend of mine who was the first owner of it once it hit the uk, then sold on to a guy on GTROC.
Beautiful motor and very fast, hope you enjoy it as it should be enjoyed...flat out.
