Hi! (Another happy GTO owner)

Hi all!

Been the very happy owner of this fine machine for about 6 months now, and am finally getting round to introducing m’self! (It’s been a busy few months :sweat_smile: )

A dream car since I was 12 from playing the original Gran Turismo back in ancient times and coming across this monster. About a year later GT2 comes out and a blue VR4 becomes one of my go-to cars while I spent what was probably an excessive amount of time on that game. (and I’d do it again)

Fast forward to Current Year and I’ve got my real life GT car.
12-year old me wouldn’t believe it and I still have to look back and smile every time it’s parked up.

From what I’ve seen, this one’s popped up on the forums a couple of times already, so I’m happy to report that it’s still going strong! Off the top of my head, everything is pretty much standard and I’m hoping to keep it that way for as long as possible. More importantly I’m hoping it stays running long enough for my 3-month old son to get to experience it and remember “dad’s cool car”, but that’s a way off yet. :laughing:

Anyway, here’s the important bit. Pics!

Fantastic looking car, I’m the same and trying to keep mine as standard as possible.

My son is 3 now, he loves mine, I’m hoping to take it to some car shows with him over the next few years.

It was Alistair’s, indeed!

Great guy who clearly appreciates the car. I did feel like I’d become the new custodian of something special, rather than buying a used motor. :grin:

Thanks for the welcome, all! :smiley:
Hoping to make it to some meets, if free time allows.

My next mission to hopefully move somewhere with A: a garage to keep it/work on it in, and B: somewhere within easy reach of some decent driving roads, so it can stretch it’s legs a little more often! (Not the only reason for moving, but it’s a good motivator!)

A very warm welcome to GTOUK fella.

I’m not 100% certain, but I think I know this car from my very early days of GTOUK membership, back in 2007.

She still looks a beauty!

Happy motoring sir…

Mike
