I play with Dirk Schoysman in the Falken Race car at the Nurburgring GP circuit in my own Nur – only a fly-by, but great noise.
Around Nurburgring GP circuit, November 2003 (R34 Skyline GTR V-Spec 2 Nur)
A certain well known black car plays with a certain well known sparkling silver car with some serious high speed driving on an autobahn. German Autobahn, November 2003 (R34 Skyline GTR V-Spec 2 Nur x 2)
I’ve tried to be nice to them but they continue to mess me about. I’m never going to see the tyres they’ve promised to return to me from Germany.
Well, I can pretty confidently say that this sale has been the hardest yet. I honestly thought I felt some last minute doubts just as bankers drafts were being exchanged. To then see it driven away from me was quite a sad experience, this GTR has been the best car I’ve ever owned. It’s also [...]
Car’s up for sale folks – it would make a fantastic Xmas present to yourself!
This was a video German TV motoring programme, Motorvision, did when I was out at the Ring.
Falken Tyres sponsored my car for German Channel Motorvision. Driven by the very handy Tim Schrick outside of the Nurburgring circuit, November 2003 (R34 Skyline GTR V-Spec 2 Nur)
As you may know, I spent a few days entertaining Falken press hounds at the Nurburgring, Germany, in order to promote their new performance tyre. For more background, you can read one or two threads which explain the trip in more detail. Now that I am no longer bound by gentlemanly agreements, a mutual declaration [...]
Late night meeting with Quentin and his Evo 8
Anybody needs lessons in photography, let me know – my awesomeness can be found in the yellow pages under ’saturate’.
Some pics of the new R34 GTR V-Spec 2 Nür.
Well, she’s up for grabs folks, the R34 that you all know is for sale.
You wanted more?
After much preparation, a visit to Trax 2002
Preparations for Trax2002 have driven me insane.
Armed with nothing but a Japanese Supercar and an expensive camera, I prowled the streets.
GTR goes to Don Palmer for some educating
Picking up my car from Abbey Motorsport was a pretty special occassion.
North Weald drag strip bowed to the might of the Skyline.
Ah, the society I love so much deemed it suitable to give me a gift today. Yes, you will keep trying. And you will keep failing. To the hopeless failures in life that insist on continuously attempting to thwart what little pleasures I get from my car, you have been foiled again. Thanks for the [...]
200MPH, Bavarian beauty and the legend that is the Nurburgring.
The best trip ever? Certainly one I won’t be forgetting in a long time. The Midnight Run – Recce was successful enough for me to bleet about it for weeks on end. First of pictures are up.
With the wheels providing both pain and pleasure in equal amounts, a decision had to be made; am I a poser or a driver?
The Cherry Tree pub in Southgate not only does incredible pub food, but it also has a very large car park.
Paid a haunted visit to the B660.
For some reason, one of the first things I look at in a person is his/her footwear. So I changed mine.
BRAKE NOW! Bedford Autodrome and pictures etc
Mines ECU goes into the 34.
Santa Pod proves yet again that the man that plans for a British Sunday is a fool indeed. Weather called off an otherwise amusing day out.
I meet a Ferrari 550 in my travels. Nature takes its course.
Spent an hour driving down the M1 in torrential, horizontal rain tonight and what an experience.
Got the March edition of Evo mag, featuring my R34.
Have been invited for another cold, drizzly, wet winters day out with the boys from Evo magazine. Richard Meaden, John Barker and David Yu are doing an article on the history of the Skyline and, well you know how much I like to help.
[EDIT] – Few words and lots of pics are up for your viewing pleasure mon petit fleurs
Went for dinner with Shin from Prospec Motorsport and Alex Creasey last night and the inevitable happened.
Trackday at the massive Bedford today proved to be hilarious.
A quick 500 mile round trip to York with the misses left good memories. An amazing architectural masterpiece in an otherwise normal place. Jorvic Viking Centre. Good old British traffic consistency and the strangest sight on the way home. EASY RIGHT, MAYBE!
Met up with a couple of R34 friends last night. Had a great blast, temperature and roads were great. Although the pictures were not. Funny that, photo’s are crap in pitch black.
‘No-Excuses’ dyno day was held today at Power Engineering today.
To the son of a bitch that decided to steal my GT-R badge first, then wasn’t content with leaving me with a nice, deep, 10 inch gorge but then decided to try to break into the car through the window, if I catch you, I’ll probably go down. Go figure. I’m watching you with renewed [...]
After waking up at an insane hour and avoiding an almost fatal accident on the way, Donington gets better and better every time. I also had a great time kicking GT-R around the circuit.
So Makinen is asked to step outside in a pub where cat swinging is certainly not allowed.
Santa Pod, the place of spilt Sunny GTi-R guts, burnt Subaru clutches and the decidedly dodgy grip of a well known 1/4 mile strip in sunny England.
