Picked up my new car today. Absolutely chuffed with it. One of the Zed's has been relegated outside so the new car can be safe and warm in the garage.

 

I won't tell you what it is, but its brand new, a 2+2, and fairly rapid

 

First one to guess it gets a Friday :duffer:

 

A big public thanks to the wife for putting up with me and all these cars. :kiss:

Your too clever for your own good sometimes - thought it might take a while.

 

Yes got a GT-R this morning. It's going to be very difficult keeping it below 3500rpm for 1200 miles.

As I was on the M6 just after collecting it a biker pulled alongside for a look and gave the thumbs up. It really has presence that you just don't get with Porsche's and the like.

I went back and forth with the colour to be honest. Spent some time at Middlehurst where they had every colour in awaiting delivery. Orginally I would have gone for black but it is a flat colour and apparently marks very easily. I also didn't think it showed off the aggresive lines of the car. Also I would of had to wait longer for a black one. Out of all the other colours the gun metallic is best. Really suits the car.

Think you chose the best colour Phil :thumbup:

Me too - it looks fantastic mate!!

Oh no couldn't get rid of a zed - be like choosing which child to give up. I seriously need some more space though - might look at renting a garage though i don't think there are any near.

 

I haven't been using the zed's much. The modified manual has been sorned since sept last year and, with the arrival of the GT-R, i don't know if i'll tax it this year. Saying that i'd always planned to take that car if i went on the Nurburgring trip.
