End of an era

What can I say, nearly ten years playing with the Datsuns, being Scotland Gtiroc rep in the process too. I made so many friends over the years and the little car has played a big part in my life :peace: so many people have come and gone and some have came back as they missed the little cars so much. I've tried in the past to move on to other cars, and have had (amongst others) a GTO, GT4 and my Lancia Integrale which was the Edinburghcruise cover car back in the day 8) but I always went back to the Gti-R.

well the time has come and I said goodbye to an old friend last night :sad:



What can I say, I've loved 'nearly' every minute of owning it, ive had some really good times and some really awful ones too :frusty:

It's just time to move on - and I'm on the hunt for the next project, one thing for sure it will be Jap!
