I know you've got both a corsa and a skyline....but which one do you honestly prefer? Besides...I've probably spent at least the value of the corsa on re-occuring repairs...don't really want to be doing that anymore

Yes there is a 2.0 Skyline but tis crap no gadets, rear wheel drive, 24v engine though.

I was 19/20 can't remeber when I got my first R32 GTR, can remeber driving to a hemel meet in it some years back

I will take what you lot are saying into account. I know some of you have been through dozens of cars and own a wide variety (particularly Adam) of cars so I'll listen to your advice. I'm going to see what other kinds of quotes I can get but I'll have to consider the running costs etc.

If you have a Skyline its got to be a GTR or at the very least a GTS-T otherwise you may as well get a focus or rep mobile shite

Yep, believe me if I knew I could afford insurance and could afford an actual GTR...I'd already be driving it. I'm sure a lot of other people would too! Was reading on a few skyline forums...read some crazy stories of 26 year olds with 8 years ncd getting quoted £1300 for a standard GTR!

tis group 20 insurance though...similar to insuring a Ferrari!

Don't think I could ever insure it under parent's name....if they caught me driving it even a couple of mph over the limit they'd stake a claim to it saying it was 'legally' their's
