[QUOTE="[PIMPIN], post: 3388072, member: 2994"] Bro, He's a Malaysian, not a foreigner looking to move here so Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) scheme does not apply to him. He used to be active on these forums back in the day. Bro, We don't know each other but I do remember you being active on these forums. Last I remember was you selling the blue R33GTR because you were going overseas with your wife. If I'm not mistaken, you said something about buying some Audi RS4 or something a few years down the road. I can't remember what it was exactly but I remember it being one of those fancy tuned Euro cars which until then, I had never heard about. :banghead: Try as I might, I just cannot recall what car it was you were so excited about owning when you finally came back to Malaysia. Anyways, if I had to choose between an R34GTR and a 911 Turbo (996) then I would pick the R34GTR anytime. About a year or possibly 18 months ago, I found myself in need of a car I could drive to work/meetings without coming across as some young punk, so among the other cars I test drove a 2004 model 911 Turbo (996). This thing had freakishly low mileage of 6-7k and was going for about 650k. And although it was quick, there was just no excitement. You floor the car and off it goes but unless I looked at the speedometer, I could not really tell that I was going fast. In short, the car was not exciting at all - for me at least. I'm not dissing the car but the ride, although stiff did not make my bones rattle inside. As for the sound of the car, even speeding through the Penchala tunnel, was hardly enough to make my eardrums jiggle. Hahah I guess what I'm trying to say is that for now I'm still a boy-racer at heart and the GTR is a car that suits me for now. That being said, a 911 Turbo would most probably end up in my garage one day. Maybe when I'm in my late 30's or whatever. But for now I'm only in my mid-20s and if I bought a Porsche or even a Ferrari then what else can I dream about owning in the future? I guess it felt like it was too much for me to have so soon. But I guess different people have different needs and if you need a fast car that will still get looks and not make the hotel carpark valets hate you then a 911 Turbo is hard to fault. I won't comment on the Maserati as I'm sure you can figure out what it'll take to maintain the car here especially if something major were to break. Not only that, when the time comes to sell all I can say is good luck. :driver: Good to see a familiar nick around here once again and maybe actually get to meet you in person one day. :wavey: [/QUOTE]
