I probably have an 'old skool' intro topic somewhere deep in the darkest recesses of this fine forum, places that haven't seen light for hundreds and hundreds of milleniums (hmmm, sounds like me and my tan lines), but since i don't here in the intro forum i thought i should change that statistic. 💡
And now i have.
KTHXBYE!! 8-)
Oh... you're still here.
You can click away at anytime, this topic is fully written now.
Okay fine, i'll go on a bit more if you insist on staying around (don't you have GT5 to play or something?).

HOW'D YOU MEET HER?: Through a Nissan Skyline car club meet, she turned up with her Dad one day in her new Skyline, rest is history.
SKYLINE CLUB AY?: www.southernskylines.com Been there for years now, and met a lot of great friends and driven a lot of nice cars (including a fellow club members wild 600hp R33 GT-R).
SO YOU OWN ONE?: Two, 1991 Skyline GTS coupe (very modified) and a 1990 Skyline GTS-4 sedan (dead stock apart from exhaust).

PHOTO OF YOURSELF: Maybe if there's enough of an outcry at me not having one on here (HA!, No pic then!)
ANYTHING ELSE?: If i may do a shameless plug (edit it out if you're a mean moderator/admin
), www.skylineobsession.com lists all my websites (most of which haven't been updated since 2007, but they are ALL being worked on at the moment!) and forums on one page, with a wee preview too. Requirement of membership on my forums, 'Mooble Crudbubbles', is you have to be a spammer/be really random/weird.
And to Jordan's questions now;
How did you find GTPlanet?
- Not quite sure to be honest, it was a long time ago anyway. I think someone on the GTF (granturismo.com - owned by Kenji M back in the day, now all the folks from there are over on GranTurismoX) mentioned this place so i came and checked it out. When i first arrived, GTP was just an MSN messageboard thing. I joined up and posted a few times, but then a few weeks/months later GTP arose in IkonBoard (?) form and went crazy from there. Registered here on June 9th 2001 and was the 18th member to join up (sort by join date ascending)! Haven't looked back since!
Where are you from?
- Dunedin, Otago, South Island, New Zealand, Australasia, Oceania, Southern Hemisphere, Earth, Mars (...)
When did you start playing the Gran Turismo games?
- Just before GT2 came out i think, or maybe a wee while before. First GT game owned was GT2, but musta rented out/borrowed GT1 prior. I remember playing the GT1 demo that came with a PlayStation mag or something - still have it to this day!
Do you play with a steering wheel?
- Yes, previously had the Driving Force Pro - but it didn't last long.... Last year or so i bought the Driving Force GT, played with it on GT5: Prologue for a wee bit, came to the conclusion i sucked at it (the wheel) and considered selling it, but then decided to wait till GT5. While i'm really glad i waited - its a lot of fun - i still suck with it when it comes to extreme countersteering measures.
What other games do you enjoy?
- The Grand Theft Auto series. Have every GTA apart from GTA2 and GTA: London 1969. Metal Gear Solid series - have every PS1/PS2/PS3 game apart from VR Missions on PS1. And a few others, war games are a fave as are platformers like Uncharted.
What are you most looking forward to doing in the community, now that you're a part of this site?
- Finding out what car is the best for xxx race in every GT game. And asking people why Porsche isn't in GT. And complaining that i can't drink coffee while playing the game at the same time because i need two hands on the wheel/controller. And then realising i don't really drink coffee anyway. And then pleading to Kazunori to include every single car ever made in GT or i'll never play it again (until i end up playing it again ten minutes later that is). I'm also looking forward to people showing me around GTP, since i'm quite new here.
And now i have.
