Advantages: Supersonic Cruise Machine Disadvantages: Not many
Here's a car which works with you, and for you, but never in place of you. There's plenty of communication from the chassis, plenty of poke from the 2.6-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, and electronic gizmos which let you have fun but won't allow things to get out of hand...much.
Nissan claims the Skyline chassis is the most sophisticated in the world. If your yardstick for measuring sophistication is calibrated in electronic aids, there's no argument. All four wheels help to steer and, sometimes, transmit drive. Normally this latter function is done by the rear pair, but within a thousandth of a second of traction loss being computer-detected, the front wheels take up half the task. How cool is that.
Meanwhile the steering is reading your intentions and helping to make them happen. First the rear wheels steer in the opposite ...

Advantages: Great location, beautiful rooms, huge beds Disadvantages: Very expensive food and drinks, car parking was £12 a night!

The hotel website allows you to print off a map and this made it quite easy to find the hotel if it wasn't for my boyfriend taking a few wrong turns! The hotel is on a large road that is absolutely heaving with hotels. Literally the whole road consists of hotels, some very large and impressive ones such as the Marriott. We were flying from Heathrow airport the next day and this hotel was about a 10-minute drive to Heathrow (at the most) and was in an extremely convenient location.
Arrival
Upon arrival we followed directions to the car park. We ...
Advantages: fantastic performance, very reliable, stunning timeless looks, affordable to drive. Disadvantages: britains speed limits and jelly mould cars getting in my way!
Well approaching 30yrs old and I decided this year was as good a year as any to have midlife crisis and finally get hold of the car I've always wanted. A Nissan Skyline. After having owned it for six months I thought I'd share my thoughts with other potential buyers of an R33 which is the most popular and more importantly affordable model with my generation so grab a coffee, sit back and see what you think.
I've researched into these cars for over a year now and fell in love with them since getting my grubby mitts on one in GranTurismo on the playstation1five years ago and seeing how tuneable it was which is pretty much where everyone else in my generation first had a shot in one hehehe!. That was the extent of my knowledge on them and to be honest is pretty much everyone elses admission of knowledge when I talk to them about it ...
