I think the Track Day is for the GP circuit and not the Nordshleife I've booked Silverstone for 6th August not got confirmation yet, you also get your own GT-R Crash Helmet with your name on (I've heard in your Car Colour)

BTW: Steve what colour did your order as the ultimate silver has just gone up £1400.00 for new orders or anyone changing spec (colour)

Ive finally gone for the vibrant red. however as my delivery date is quoted as ' expected in the first 1/4 of 2010' ie we are not commiting to an exact date im seriously considering cancelling starting to hit me as shit service and i F**KING HATE shit service............tbc

just done a back to back test with the M3 and C63 and think they are both awesome cars......can now pick up a M3 for 40k in the trade however the torque on the c63 is ace. My problem with the c63 is the cheap shitty plastic dash, it completley ruins the car and at 60k fully loaded isnt good enough. However been told designo can cover the dash in leather so might be prolem solved

Going on a AMG track day at donnington on the 27th so will get to use the C63 as was designed.......

Have to agree Nissan don't have any idea how to market such a great Car and keep changing the terms & conditions whenever it suits them.

Forget the M3 or C63 and get yourself a nice B3 around September Time (I might know where there’s a nice one coming up for sale )

Must Admit I did follow a C63 last week and they do sound awesome

Wha you mean? The motorway journey to and from, or did you mean you were towing something more suitable?

I'm sure there are plenty of jokes relating to the matching helmet common in the write up too...

Ignore me, I'm only (severely) jealous...

Shame Steve. I'd be interested in your take on it as it seems Nissan is screwing this up now (probably more to do with their masters Renault than the Japanese per se).

I was number 8 at Benfield Nissan and his first SAT NAV order.

So in any normal situation my car would hve been SEPTEMBER 2009, this was acceptable for me. so i paid my 3500 to be a 'pre order customer'.

Nissan however changed the game plan and turned it into a lottery, and i lost.....

The earliest cars are sep09 with satnav. the real pisser is i know someone who didnt preorder, put his order in in May (3 months after me) and has a delivery date of sep09......not right and not for me. I want a great experience when spending 60k and i feel pissed around.

I still feel it'll be an amazing car but with the current situation of cars losing stack of cash at the moment i think ill be able to pick a second hand one up sooner and cheaper than waiting till 2010........

About the C63 If i can get leather put onto the dash etc then ill get one, if not a 4 door M3 is on the cards.... or a 997
