No, he didn't. I'm just annoyed at seeing all these pointless attacks. And I don't listen to peoples opinions on forum discipline, just Madz's.

Just drop it dude, There are fights that need happening, this one is pointless.

Funny. On many different threads, Peri, you go to great lengths to show the "newbies" that you are a man of precision and cannot correctly infer a spelling mistake and sh*t like that. It's ok if you're autistic, if not it's a bit disturbing. Anyhoo, there has been a lot of "holier than thou" comments coming from the old timers here in AL. Some folks here, including me don't give a rat's arse what other ppl drive. People are here to get their questions answered and increase their knowledge in automobiles in the local context. Sometimes it feels like a bunch of grumpy old fellows having a european car orgy [this point not related to showing the newbies the attitude, unrelated to the preceding sentences]. I'm sorry to be dramatic.

Be a little bit considerate of newbies. And if you're having a bad day don't make newbies here in AL as a means to express your anger. Thanks.

You seem to have picked the wrong thread to ask me to be considerate about newbies, since I have reprimanded Don, who has been around for ever, not a newbie.

Wow GTR... One of i love most... Darin u r damn lucky bro...

[tharindra]

Darin was extremely kind enough to lend his GTR for a Motor Magazine test drive............here are some pictures of us [stills taken by a mounted Go Pro Motorsports cam] unleashing all of that 620hp down Baseline Road.....

[tharindra]

......and what a car.....its not a car its like you strapped yourself onto an ACME rocket road runner style

haha I love the worried looks on each of the passenger's faces when it came to their turns to ride shotgun what a beast it is! Can't wait to see the motor mag review of it (hopefully next month's edition?)

Anyway we could read it online? I got onto to the Motor Magazine website via google but there's no online access to any of the articles. Any chance of you guys opening it up for online readers? If its economically unfeasible to make the current issue available online, how about archiving previous editions for online access?

ah ok my bad then Awesome can't wait to see it then. Cheers

Saw the beast last night at Kohuwala Keels/BBK/HSBC park. Salivatingly awesome - definitely steals one over Feroz's GTR, if I may say so.

Wow!! and note the acceleration at 1.27 ! Its soo harsh the camera tilts back!! Props to Motormag for the vid!

[madmax]

Darin, I came across a few articles indicating the high cost of ownership of the GT-R. Some people have indicated that maintenance costs are in par with that of a Ferrari. Take a look at the following articles. Is there any truth to this?

This may seem obvious but, the exhaust note is just superb, is that sports tuned as well?

I just love their obvious excitement and delighted expressions, are they funeral directors?
