Yeah, Gator, don't even go there (follow me around a corner at full throttle). Go here instead

I still have a tear in my eye for my old Scoobie, but a done up Skyline was right up there on my list at the time. Could have cried when they stopped doing them (that and Supras). And I was kinda in love with the computer system Skylines had (does your one have the G-force readout thingy?). Just couldn't justify the cost of a 2-3 year old one (company car/ allowance policy didn't allow older than a certain age) at the time. Same with Supras. Was either an Evo or a Scooby in the end. And considering I do 99% of my travelling in a traffic jam and did more than the 4000 mile (or 6 months) service distance every six months then I went for the Scooby. Plus Evos are more painfull to sit through in traffic jams. I checked.
Now I just drive a gay black MX-5. Luckily in Cyprus everyone pretty much drives slow and are ok with gay vehicles (they love scooters for instance). Major amount of Barryboys though. Plus they all drive like women (shall I pull out? shall I not? shall I? shan't I? YES I SHALL AT THE LAST SECOND!!!!). Normally see at least one or two crashes when on an hour walk to my parents (honestly). And I thought I used to drive bad.
Talking of driving bad, Fallout do you know the roundabout at junction 9/10 of the M4 (by Slough and Maidenhead)? There is a great road between the 2 roundabouts there which bends a bit. Always fun to hit the curve of the corner (going from the motorway) at about 110mph
I remember doing that with a Supra once, undertaking at that point too. Totally shouldn't do that one again. Heh, and another time when I left this Civic type R behind and he decided to beat me to the final roundabout at the bottom of the hill. Obviously I was braking at this point (damn good breaks) to avoid other vehicles. His breaks didn't work and off he went onto the roundabout at about 40mph. Moron. Luckily he missed everyone. Good stretch that bit on the way home after work. Will miss it... (if anyone is wondering I used to live like 5 minutes drive from Legoland. Fallout doesn't live in Sweden or the USA, and as far as I know there is no other).
Oh, and now you have a fast car, do what I used to do and let idiots in shopping trolleys (eg. Vauxhall Nova with *the* Halford spoiler on the back (to keep it on the track *laff*)) rev like morons next to you at traffic lights. Then when the lights hit green watch as they screetch off at something like 20mph and almost crash into a wall or somesuch as the slide all over the place
ie. don't even try to move off at all. Even better when cops are around. Heh, and you have to love the writing down the side (eg. Nitro). Gotta laugh. Apart from that time with the done up M3. Damn fast that one was... Oh, and my mate with the 500bhp Scoobie (that got nicked).
So going to get a road angel by any chance?....
Cheers
Ps. Insurance and cost? Meh, just get a bit older. Plus earn a lot more. Is fine then. Almost had this 18 year old salesbloke almost cry when he heard my Scoobie was £700 a year fully comp. His Barryboy Corsa (shopping trolley no matter what version) cost him double that for 3rd party. Of course he had to add the essential racing trim. That probably slowed him down slower than other shopping trolleys.... (real shopping trolleys for instance)
Ps2. Oh yeah, and I think I forgot to say, but ace car there Fallout. Totally tops. And you won't die. Unless you have no money left to feed yourself of course.
The things practically stick to the floor like glue. Even the salesman told me to "wellie it!" when we were going down the backroads in the Scooby. Did 90mph in the end and almost took off on a bumpy bit! Sold me though.... And was a bit of an upgrade from my old Puma. Although the Puma did look nice, and the engine sounded spot on when booting it.
I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
