    Very true, no where in London to really open it up, but plenty of nice areas in Kent. Rather dangerous in built up areas as you hit 100mph in no time. Would still be able to show you what it feels like to hit 60mph in less than 3 seconds though. I have upset few supercars that I have had a chance to go against but I have upset bikers more.
    I passed on posting on that thread anymore as it seems some took the whole point of it wrong. It is not about who has spent the most money or what not but simply about the passion for vehicles. That passion can usually lead to big spendings but still all relative to that persons earnings. Also it can be a bit more expensive than simple money, as have known people to lose a relationship since they were a bit too into their vehicles! When it is back out again I will take some more upto date pictures of it. I have a fiberglass carbon overlayed vented bonnet now of which I am hoping should drop the engine bay temps nicely.

    Well when I get it back out again and if you are down the London way give me a shout and I'll take you out in it. I have had a gts-t too but I really killed that! I actually bought this one before I moved over here. Had it tucked away in Japan for about 6 months. Getting it shipped over was rather easy as the company I bought it from sorted it all for me. If I remember right...it cost less than £500!!! If you ever do get round to looking to buy one let me know as can come across some damn good deals at times.
    I'm in two minds whether to post pics of it on the post or not...

    Here are some pictures of my GT-R since you asked. The first three are when I got it in Japan.

    This is what the engine bay looked like when I first got it

    Then it looked like this (not great deal different)
    [IMG]
    This is when was still with its original engine

    Then over the course of pushing things hard and what not (as you do) out came the engine as I had cracked one of the ring walls on a piston running 1.6 bar

    with these turbos
    [IMG]
    and here nice big bore dump pipes from the turbos
    [IMG]
    This was the 3rd time the engine had come out but since this time was because of engine internals (just the one piston actually), I decided was time to stroke it and make it even stronger

    Custom large capacity extended sump and a cleaned up high capacity oil pump of which fitted when the engine was out previously
    [IMG]
    Now the engine bay looks like this

    and the car like this
