Always wanted a Orange mini which I have now got and Love!
If money was no objecty then I would have a Enzo or Porsche Carrera GT
My other dream car for Family use is the RS6 which I bought 2 years ago and love would like to upgrade to the new one but far far too expensive
Still saving hard for the 911 which I want...still dreaming and putting the coppers in my piggy bank!

wow and that 7.9 1/4 run was in a GTST that is damn impresive! The GTRs are the RB26DETT model, running 4wd and twin turbos, i see a R34 the other week with a RB30DETT putting out just over 850 BHP and was a street legal car!
You can pick up a R32 GTR for around 7k now days which isnt bad at all considering they can easily turn out around 700bhp although you can get one in the state that mine was for a lot less!![]()
Lovely cars and the pikeys are yet to discover their cheapness.... yet!
GTST = single turbo rear wheel drive.. which is pretty much the lowest skyline model, but.. best for drag racing, rear wheel so it gets off the line, single turbo is strongest and more simple for the 1/4 mile!
plus it was between 2000-3000bhp i think... soooo quick i couldnt belive!
Yes the GTST's are the "poo" ones (bad the GTS which is the RB20DE (i have more BHP in my urine) although they are quite a bit better than some things on the road. Yes the GTS/T models are RWD where as the GTR's are AWD (which you already knew) although its very simple to convert the GTR to just RWD, mine was driven in the EDC so was obviously converted to RWD! One thing i will moan about is the HCIAS i had on my old GTR, it was ******* and was a complete pain in the arse to lock although IIRC there are off the shelf kits you can get to lock this now.
2-3000 bhp is pretty much as impresive as it gets! But for a weekend warrior i think a GTR producing around 850 is MORE than enough! Dom knows a lad running a 7.6 1/4 in a R32! street legal aswell!
Although there is alot on the road which will them for dead and skyline owners seem to have a "untoutchable" attitude they are lovely cars!

As of Monday when I saw one of these parked outside my uni, I've decided I want one!

VW karmann Ghia, looks similar to the Porsche Roadster me thinks. This is the one I saw outside my uni

I wouldn't say no to a Porsche Roadster if anyone wanted to give me one


Probably a few other cars I absolutely adore out there too but I guess top on my list at the moment are more minis, an aston and the Karmann Ghia

yeah GTS's dont have much power etc etc etc, but theyre still more powerful and faster than most of the cars on the road and i think are still worthy of some credibility. and after all, they are still skylines, and that makes them better than a ferrari anyday. still rather have one than an fto or jap car with similar power. and you cant put a price on a bit of tail-out-action! i know someone whos thinking of getting one, but just because he cant afford the insurance on a GTR yet. i might follow suit one day but ill probably just wait till im an old fart and can afford a really nice R33 GTRwow and that 7.9 1/4 run was in a GTST that is damn impresive!

The VW Karmann Ghia is very cute (so are the rarer Notchbacks) look:

(more down to earth affordable cute car) - Almost bought a Nissan Figaro on more than one occasion, but always went back to my minis!

One day I will win the lottery and will own one of these beauties though.........

OR i have to say, the Ferrari F40/ the veyron would be the true DREAM car, as after all, its a dream car and not a reality!

grrr i really want a midget now. been scouring every site possible but theres nothing near me and cheap. a close second to a midget would be a <mkIV spitfire or a cpnvertible 1200 herald (dont like the 13/60 front). but there are none of these are near me either! ahhh im just going to have to wait.

This might pee you off a bit Oli... so soz.. I turned down a free Spitfire at the beginning of the year from a guy at work who's got a Herald Vitesse that might be for sale and lastly a Midget might be coming my way real soon... got one lined up!
you seen to have similar taste to me (mind you, being a complete car nut, I like most cars)
