You've got to sell your S first, and if you're expecting your asking price it may sit there for some time from my recent experience

Good luck

judging by the failure to keep your signature up-to-date

Don't be a stranger ...

keep us posted occasionally

and make us all smile as much as in the past
The signature updates was due only to all my time being taken up by the group buy.

I took this skyline out on the weekend, with my S on the road also.

And after i smoked it for the 3rd time without even having to turn the boost up, I made up my mind and put a deposit on the skyline.

Since ten every time i put my foot down in the S, i don't get the boxer bounce that i used to.

These are amazing cars, dont get me wrong, they handle like a dream, there a lot of fun, and they look gorgeous, and you guys really are great.

I just wish i could afford to run both cars, as it hurts me to get rid of her. Ive lived under that bonnette since i got her, and loved every second.

I will still be about, and if you lot need anything of course you can still ask... Has blood seeped from your ears today ?

I may still bottle it when it comes to selling the S..

A dog is for life but a puppy...

Methinks you're just too young to appreciate what the S has to offer

Any pictures of the Skyline your getting? not my cup of tea, power would be nice but cant help thinking it looks like a chavved up cavalier.
