Hi GalwayTT, yeah could certainly do that but I don't plan driving around Tokyo as it would totally do my head in. I'm happier to go with the manual with such a big engined car, more fun. Anyway, it's about fecking time I got myself a proper license anyway!

I dunno, by all means to the licence thing anyway, but don't let that rule on the choice of car, necessarily.
The thing about big sports cars needing manual boxes is old hat: the new GT-R isn't manual..........performance is no longer penalised by an auto choice. In fact, double-clutch auto's (aka GT-R and VAG DSG, and Porsche PDK) actually out-peform manuals, these days.
O/T - if you do bring back a GT-R, does it make it under the 225g/CO2 km ? Otherwise you'll be needed 2k+ a year just to tax it, which will make it unsaleable, down the road........
My sig cars are the same. The manual hasn't left the garage for six months........why?....'cos it's manual. The Tip version is all things to all people, 90% of the time !
Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Yup, €2000 a month is a bit mad but if you're gonna go over it it might as well be done in style
I'm not buying to sell, it for my own pleasure.
I take your point with the gearboxes, I just don't want my auto license to be a limitation for me. The GT-R box is incredible, looking forward to test driving one.
