the squiggle Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 First up is the JUN Hyperlemon Skyline 1000bhp, simply an awsome car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdzTXJLxjaY Second is a Ford RS200 Evo2 750bhp Group B nutjob machine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqpeacfKUi8 Its near the end Both cars were owned by the same person at the same time, what a choice to have
col666 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I came up against the Skyline in my first scoob at Crail, a long long time ago...i remember changing into 3rd and he was already across the line and nearly back in the queue! the only things that could keep up were the bikes. It was running mid 10's in those days. Both cars were owned by a computer programmer, (worked on grand theft auto) cant remember his name but he lived in Tayport next to Tay Bridge...i think! also had a ferrari 355. Col.
fai17 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 wow Greers actually looked after those 2 beast.[]
st3ph3n Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Remember reading about the Jun car in Jap Performance last year when I think Tim Webster had it, but it's now gone to someone else. Quality car.
RS Grant Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 You're right Col, just outside Tayport... [H] He had/has loads of cars, M Coupe, Ferrari 355 and lots more including a 1 of 3 special order Purple Lambo Diablos too, JayKay had another one. Saw that outside the Casino in Dundee a fair bit. Cheers, Grant
wilky Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Lovely cars, I bet the torque on the RS 200 was ferocious.
the squiggle Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 It was the guy that designed Grand Theft Auto. His garage was a collection of every dream car you can possibly think of and these 2 were his play things for a Sunday
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Lovely cars, I bet the torque on the RS 200 was ferocious. 50/50 split, hence the reason Clarkson put it in the dirt whilst test driving it at crail...........well that was his reason [] Pete, the RS lived in Bills garage for a while, awesome car to drool over!

fai17 Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Taggart is alive and well and living on our forum they don't call me DCI for nothing[]
st3ph3n Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Founder of DMA who made the GTA games. The company later changed name and became Rockstar North. He now works with a company called Real Time Worlds based in Dundee who as far as I can remember have delivered hee haw games wise so far. But they have names with much clout. So to wrap up - he's had some great cars and he made one of the finest games ever. Top bloke.
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 The name David Jones i think next you will be telling us his address, shoe size,pant preference and if he hangs left or right!!! []
jcscoob Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Seen the boy going about a fair bit in some realy nice motors[h] But also seen him at crail getting big cheers every time he tryed to move it, due to stalling in a big way[:$] nice cars tho []
johns Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Dave has been to many an SIDC track event over the past 8 years. When he first owned the Skyline he took it out on two of our track events. Had brake problems first time out, so massive APs were fitted for the next outing. After that, it was mostly used for darg type events. Dave was at one of our events earlier this year in his stunning Porsche GT2. John
craigdmcd Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Davey used to also own the Carbon bodied "Escort" Cosworth that Sue Collins Built, Iain Gardener's old RS500 race car (the only one that beat Paul Bailey's RS2000/RS500 incarnation - I later bought the Sierra from Davey with a good few bits missing), the Diablo/Ferrari/911 GT2 (993?), amongst the many others. Bill Greer once told me how he once took a photo of the car collection, and had to take several shots to get them all in. Oh yes, I think he had some really trick superbikes with really Gucci bits on them - a VFR750 RC45 seems to ring a bell. Wish I'd tried a bit harder when computers first came out instead of dodging round a field in a clapped out beetle!!!
Doc kana Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Any further updates on this story? Only asking as i also bought a subaru impreza rally car from the same greersport , still have the motor, just about 20 years ago, only done about 1500 kms in it so far… beast of a car….
