That's what I had on order early this year, Steve. Gunmetal. Nice.

Really want a CSL test drive but I can't pin one down. I think on paper it's the perfect car for me. Like a junior GT3

Lucky, been looking at that one on PH / GTROC. Great mids eh Supposed to be one hell of a fun track car too, surprisingly.

Fly to Dusseldorf, hire a shitter to get to the nurburgring, hire RSR's CSL and spank it around the ring.

Test drive sorted.

Suppose to be an excellent track car, shame theres not more about on track days.

The Autoselect car is one of my personal favourites.
Something about the sound of an RB26 on full chat, love it

Yup. Why, are you going to try and palm the Cayman off to me?

Chilled, that is a cunning plan! remind me on your thoughts of it?

Not completely sure mate! Got a bit of time to sit back and see. Not that much appeals to me atm, and depends if I decide that track car renting is the way forward.

I suspect the Evo will be next though! Mate of mine is after it potentially.

But depends what mood i'm in when I wake up - I swear I have a problem

Might be an S though... With somehting extra exciting later.
I thought the Evo was going! I spotted your post over on the MLR!!!

You not fancy a modded 370z?

M3 turned up to 11 on the volume level. More planted more stable handles better even on normal tyres, fine for the occasional blast on a track day without the sloppiniess associated with a normal M3.

And very practical too.

Itchy, a mate of mine is after it so just testing the water It will probably be off before long to make way for something I don't worry about parking anywhere.

In some ways the 370Z is more appealing than the GTR, should test drive one really. Are people tweaking them already?

It's just the simple parts first Mark. CAIKs, exhausts, etc... I don't think it'll be long before FI applications are on the market. A FI 370z should prove very interesting! They have 332bhp to start with!
