awesome.

Was this driving event at Silverstone last week?

I saw a few banners for GTR driving experience when there for BTCC on the weekend and couldn't understand how that could be, when they hadn't launched yet.......but if they were left hookers, that would make sense

It was the weekend before last infact, they have been running the events at Silverstone since July

, but that would be why you could see all the banners, etc

There are to my knowledge 2 GTR`s on right hand drive currently in the country, one owned by a compnay called ecuteck and another privately imported much to the discust of Nissan. Ecuteck imported it in order to crack the ECU coding. Both cars will shortly be rendered useless though as Nissan have stated anyone servicing these cars will be taken off their dealership list!

There is a lot going on with Nissan and the people that have imported them, there's a few more than 2 in the UK though, there were 3 at the ACE cafe meet the other week and there's at least 5 or 6 i know of on four-courts, at the moment, but will be interesting to see how this plays out with servicing, etc. As we all know what happend to VW, and co when they tried to refuse looking after EU cars and i know Mazda UK were hauled over the coals back in the late 90's because they were ripping of customers with grey imports, who knows what will happen.

I've owned imports, but if i can get the support and warranty i will, It's one of the reasons i bought one of the UK R34's and why i'm prepared for the painful wait for my new baby, just can't wait for the next drive

Agree there are quite a few more than 2 in the country, in addition to those mentioned RC had one at one of the time attacks, Ben Linney also has one aswell and there are 7 for sale on autotrader now.

When you do get one you'll be inundated with requests for passenger rides !!!

So can I be first to request one
