Nice to see a few other GT4ers on here.

Thanks Sam! Watched your videos before I bought it too

I have a feeling I'll be busy this Sunday – can you point me to the thread though just in case?

We could always arrange a cruise another time too!

Cruise from the fall looks like loads of fun

I usually hate reading/don't have the time for long forum posts, but this one was well worth it. Seems like you've definitely worked pretty hard for what you have now. I love those Nissans, we don't see many of those in the states.

Thanks Drew!

I really miss the S14, and am still hoping one day that it miraculously returns. I doubt it though...but I still have the key!

Would love to pick one up again someday and get back into drifting.

Some more photos!

I usually dont read long stories such as these, but this one was rewarding. Everything from the Nissans to the GT4, beautiful taste.

How was the car at TMP compared other cars you've had there?

What a great story. Your car is awesome! Congratulations on the new car and succeeding in your business so you could GET the car.

That's so cool to hear! I'm sure you'll be riding around in a Porsche at some point – just keep working hard and you'll make it happen!

And thanks for the kind words everyone!

Great story.

Wow no theft insurance? Is that not standard in Canada?

I'd only ever driven my completely stock (and non-sport model) E36 328i there, so, definitely quite the difference!

The E36 was actually pretty bad – but it had *awful* summer tires, and needed new brake pads. It had so much body roll!

I didn't have it (it was optional), due to a bad driving record at the time and it costing too much.

And plus, they wouldn't have given me much for what the car was on paper (a 1997 used Nissan with 160,000km).

Great seeing you at the DDT yesterday!
Your car was amazing at the track, I loved feeling that mid-engine balance in the car.
I hadn't thought about my old modded 914-6 for a long time until riding in your car yesterday.

Thanks

Thanks for showing me around the track! Your M Coupe is absolutely beautiful, and it sounds incredible too. Can't wait for the next day!

I have a couple pics, will post them when I get around to it!
