givememorepower Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 This one comes with warranty until next June http://pistonheads.com/sales/1359253.htm But it ain't an auto...... Auto's take the whole point out of owning a 'drivers car'. Anyone who is serious about owning a car to 'drive' should want a manual in my opinion. Fair enough to have auto in an old Mercedes estate or land cruiser, but how do you gear down for corners etc? Removes too much driver involvement for me. I like to grab my stick and pull it about.

givememorepower Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I know, but I'm trying to sell a car and he may have been swayed providing personal circumstances don't require him to need an auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the wheel Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Sorry pal, needs to be an auto, i have no arms or legs, infact i am only a head so have to use my head to put car into drive when i get in. As for saying autos are not real drivers cars, well my GT-R is an auto, and my god you can have some fun in that. Although only til next friday, cos its sold, boo hoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich5259 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I drove the 370 with auto box at silverstone and there was no loss of involvement from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the wheel Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Sweet baby jesus, someone told me today that all imports are limited to 112 mph. Thats no good, might have to go down another route. This car buying lark is taking longer than i thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car buying lark is taking longer than i thought. JDM Lovers! Job done! It' looks sweet! £200 and you'll get rid of the 112mph limit in favour of the 155mph limit but then might as well get an UpRev tune and get rid of it altogether (170ishmph) and get the tuning spot on!

Pete the wheel Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well the search has been going on for months now, and at last I ve found one i like the look off. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1528953.htm What you think folks, its about 300 miles from me so keen to ask seller lots of questions before making the trip north. Is it a fair price, seems so to me but im guessing you fellas will point me in the right direction. Ta Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the wheel Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Just been told it was a grade 5 with a grade A interior, im guessing thats good. The guy went to japan and imported it himself, was a Nissan demo car. On returning to the uk he brought and fitted uk dash clocks. Looks promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
