the squiggle Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Only taking with a N95 so apologies there but no apologies for the porn the following images may contain 254 miles on clock and just has so much attitude standing still Now trying to wipe the smile off Andy's face is not going to be easy Hats off to you boss as she is everything as expected and then some more
paul555sti Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I take it the nazi staff car has been retired now then I would imagine the wait has been worth while then Andy? Look forward to seeing it inthe flesh some time.
gc8-r Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 when i went out in one,i smiled all day but my pics are not as good as yours,as you have the banana.......
ANDYJDMSTI Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 yeah mate the wait has been well worth it!! still running it in so have not taken it above 3500 but christ it still feels rapido!! Using the suspension setup on "comfort" (for running in to give the setup as much travel as possible to bed in) and it sticks like glue. Have had a play with the paddles and the gearchanges are seemless and as smoothe as a babies backside. Overall the car so far is more than i expected......wonder if that will change when i give it some beans!!!
micra_wrc Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 check how many dials and button are on the dash and the wheel! its going to take you ages to figure out what they all do
kennyuk300 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Hats of to you fella very nice car indeed ,how tempting is it to give just a little push cheers kenny
ANDYJDMSTI Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Imy, i spent an hour this morning flicking through the book but decided to just press buttons instead and see what they do haha. It is very tempting to give it some beans but i have waited nearly 2 years for it so afew hundred more miles will not kill me ........i think!!
cruz104 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 My God that even looks better than the bat mobile, lovely looking car, i bet it sounds awesome

Guest Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Andy, nice one, have fun when run in. will have to see in the flesh sometime, at knockhill or elsewhere
the squiggle Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 Watching the Top Gear clip again It staggers me what this car beat round the test track LP640 SLR McLaren Carrera GT
richie1985 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 i had no idea that you could buy the GT-R in the uk yet i thought it was much later in the year b4 i could put my name down for one
ScottyRB320 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 i had no idea that you could buy the GT-R in the uk yet i thought it was much later in the year b4 i could put my name down for one Richie Speak to Sharon at Alex F Noble the Scottish Authorised and only centre for the GT-R North of the border. Most of us have had our names down for well over a year or so waiting on the official UK cars coming with our deposits paid. These cars are now starting to get delivered (Jammy sod by the way i cancelled mine for a V Spec and am now re-considering due to the rediculous price they are asking) If you ask nicely i know there are 2 Black Editions one coloured white and the other black with cancelled orders on a first come first served basis available, i am hoping to secure the white car just waiting on a deal on my own car to be finalised. Regards ScottyB

Nice 1 Andy wot a machine, cant wait to have a look at it , and maby a wee pax lap ... mmmmm might even look at getting 1 of them lol... Cracking motor happy driving. .. Chris
frank c Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Well worth the wait Andy... you've done well Now just imagine when it's run in!! Have Fun.
ANDYJDMSTI Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Happy is an understatement Davie........bit of a rollercoaster ride for the past year and a half which nearly saw me cancel due to some bad press reference reliability etc..........usual scare mongering idiots that knew sweet FA apart from what they heard in the pub. At the moment it sounds rather tame to say the least but when i take the car back for its 1000 mile clutch re-align and check over it shall be getting treated to a y pipe which takes out the centre resonator, heard one yesterday with it done and it sounds fruity!!! It is however deifnately unique with the noises it makes at idle........when you stand outside you can hear the gearbox chattering away, that should quieten down alittle as it beds in but i like it to be honest............Massey Ferguson springs to mind!! haha Driving around (especially yesterday which was the official launch day in the UK was interesting to say the least), people gawping and pointing. Actually got the thumbs up from a guy who pulled alongside in a DB9 on the M6 yesterday......which was nice! Wonder how long before Strathclydes finest decide to pull me over and ask what it is!!
oobster Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 That is beautiful. Geez a shot of yer motor mister.
colin_ross Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 There is only one thing wrong with that car.................I don't own it. If you ever fancy a swap for a fast car you let me know
david_taylor Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I will take your liver Grant - mines is gubbed! Some car Andy, lucky bassa
cullenmin Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Hubba Hubba You are one very lucky man Andy, well worth the wait
