Nick, If you put a different plate on a car, does your tax become void? :huh:

No he's transfered his personal plate to his new track car (a skyline) but had forgotten to get new plates made up with the cars original reg. It's been sat in his unit for a few months and not been used.

It's not taxed at the moment as it's sorn'd so it'll be a feash disc with the correct reg on.

Yeah baby!

Had a few issues getting it started when I went to pick it up with Mark so no pictures in daylight yet.

Pulls like a fricking train and pee's all over the corrado despite having less power. drive back was bit scary in the rain on water logged roads with cut slicks!

Anyway here's some pics.







The best bit:





And a funny shot of a snail and a northloop.co.uk sticker. Made me and Mark chuckel anyway.

Oh yeah it'll be at stonor. Can't go to a Golfgti.co.uk clubstand in the Rado can I? Will probably do most shows this year in the Rado though.

Now, do I take it to work tomorrow? Man is fricking loud inside with that mental Powerflow exhaust and the stones and stuff bouncing off the bottom make it sound like a rally car. It really pops and bangs on the overrun as well.

Got a few little things to sort out but I'm smitten, it's awesome on the road so what it'll be like on track will be interesting.
