and I can't stop

Brilliant car to drive, going round corners doesn't feel like the cars gonna roll over etc. While it doesn't feel as pokey as my old Punto it is quite quick for its size.
Loads of people look even though its got poopey 16s & standard looks, but

Was abit too heavy footed from one pull away & snaked the car down the road a little bit ( something i'll learn tomaster!) & its de restricted too, so no limit set to 112mph. Generally cruised along motorway at 65/70 though

Done 50 miles on just under 1/4 tank so far but just can't stop

Going out again after dinner!

Its supportive - When you have a close call it tells you everything is going to be ok.

For right hand drive the indicator stalk should be on the right...

and fyi my EK Civic has the indicator on the left, and my dad's CD7 Accord is on the right.

agreed, right hand drive cars generally have the indicator stalk on the right side unless the car has come from a left hand drive market and a "conversion" hasnt been done on the controls. All aussie cars have the stalks on the right side (except for the originally left drive imports eg bmw, mercs, audi, vw opels etc.)

What the standard 0-60 time of the skyline?? Your Punto must have been one rapid motor......

0-60 is about 6 secs flat. Punto was 180bhp, 170 lb/ft with an estimated 6.6- 6.8 to 60.
But the punto was all stripped out & had sod all weight to it, & was very on/ off with the power. So you used to plant your foot & bang you'd get a kick in the back. You don't get that with a Skyline as the power delivery is much smoother, so while its more powerful you don't notice it as much.
