Well time has been short of late, but managed to get the girl out and the weather just about right to get a good layer of protection on the new girl. Sorry only snapped a few pics with the compact (will redo once i get my SLR back from a short lend!)

You'd think i'd be out driving her, but a good lay of pretection is always good, plus i discovered this in the rear trye, so had to have a new one last weekend and kissed goodbye to

The quality of the detail appears to be very good; clearly you have the patience to match your wallet! The red, I'm not aware of whatever Nissan call that particular hue, is my favourite colour for the R35. A wonderful looking car; I am sure that it drives every bit as well as the hype suggests.

Where are the obligatory engine shots then? :cheers2:
