    I've done another stupid thing

    If having 3 ropey nissans wasn't enough (180sx, skyline, elgrand), I may have added to the "fleet" with possibly my stupidest decision yet, to add an Italian to the mix!
    Goes alright with a nice little 3.2 v8 and a couple of turbos!

    It drives really nicely and is a lovely place to be, but I genuinely don't know what's wrong with me as it doesn't excite me at all (got back in the 180 last night and it was so much more fun and enjoyed it a lot more - probably the child in me though for loud turbo noises!).

    Good bravery, particularly if its got the trick suspension and brakes. A mate of mine accidentally bought the UK demonstrator that was fully specced, IIRC it ended up cost him £15 a mile or something
    Im sure that wont be the case here though

    That's just made feel a little bit sick .
    However, it does sound glorious, and accidentally used it for work today (and as it was nice weather, thought I'd see what difference "Sport" mode makes - turns out it makes it much more enjoyable!).

    Is that a 3200 GT ? With the banana lights ? If so, that's a very good, if brave choice

    Give it a few months to grow on you, its a GT car after all so it drives more like an unmodified SX than a modded one.

    It snaughto or a Manuel (sic) ?

    It's an auto.
    Don't get me wrong, it's better to drive than my work daily electric thing, but I'll need to give it time as at the moment, it's not getting a look in at the weekends as the weather has been alright.
    Just to show I took the brave pill (or stupid pill):

    It's never been a dream car for me, but it seems it was very much a right place, right time kind of thing.
