Yeah the 2.5 Turbo sucker would've been nice, but that wasn't on offer. The price I paid for this it just couldn't be passed up.

Also, it's no where near as expensive to run as a turbo. It uses about 3/4 the gas OldR's Skyline turbo does at normal cruising speeds.

I wouldn't say its gutless, just not setting the world on fire.

I like it anyways.

Performance is what the bike is for.

Cars are for bad weather and transporting the kids..(and missus)

you're game getting a nice car to put kids in!!!!, We will stick to the hiace 4x4 van until they all leave home, it gets filthy after every rugby game, or trip to the beach, plus they love to fiddle with stuff, the upholstery gets hammered, lovely car WT but I surely wouldn't put my kiddos in it!

Lol. A few have said the same!

No McDonalds, no drinks, no shoes, tie their hands together and it's sorted!

Nah, it's just a car. Leathers pretty easy to keep clean and I just don't feed the in the car. Two girls at 5 and 2 aren't too interested in rugby yet. Trips to the beach are done in my ex wifes car!

Don't be too sure, WT.

I coach Upper Hutt Under 6's. We have one girl, aged 5, in our team.

Hey, that's not Steve and Jenny's old car is it?

On the bright side - you can have lots of missusses now !! (if you chose to of course, not that you would....Oh I'll just fuck up) :eyepoke:

My Diamante's in the same league - it's the top of the line model with the works and leather....quad cam 24 valve 200hp V6,uh...where fer krysts sake? even on the open road I have to manualy change down to get the revs up where I need them,I've only red lined this thing once,just to see if it was able too,what a turd!

But earlier this year the wife and I were heading to Dargaville at night - we were talking (for once) at one stage and I glanced at the speedo to see it sitting on 140kph,not the sort of speed I do at night.I could of put another 20kph on it without even thinking it was going fast - this is what these sort of cars were made to do,high speed touring....it's an impressive car alright - just not exciting!!!

So when do you get the fake chest hair and gold chains to go with the new car bud??

Does it have a telly in the back to keep the kids quiet??

Mate, I've got enough of the real stuff, no fake possum hair required. No TV, just a CD stacker full of Kid Rock, StereoGram and Rage Against The Machine to keep the kids quiet. Or maybe they are making noise, I just can't hear them

Steady on mate. I couldn't give a shit what he did or didn't get, was just curious as to why he chose one over the other.

**vifferman** · 11th June 2004, 15:40

At least the engine's a V.

I was actually referring to Motu's posts - I guess I should have quoted him

The inline 6 will just cream it up to atleast 100kph or more,just like a Skyline turbo,maybe even better.I don't see the point in a luxury car that can't get out of it's own way around town.

BTW - what made you think I was referring to you Phase ? Wee bit defensive there ?
