At last I can fully share with news... After my project failed I tried to figure out what would be the best with remaining budged. I talked to many friends and all said the same: "Buy ST205... you can not regret". So I made few messages and planned 1000miles trip
 It started at Friday 14:50 with airborne   the same day after few hours in London's airport...  ...at last boring part of trip ended in Manchester . I have met bodhi and his GT-four at the airport... He took me to pick up my new baby . Yes... that white one GT-four below... It's pure almost stock JDM model with all Japan market goodies I have always wanted to have in my car     First night as fresh GT-four owner (and after first few miles with RHD car I took a rest in bodhi's house. Thank you so much again for your help mate!)  Saturday morning 7:30... just quick inspection before long ride home...  Even in RHD car in the UK I was still on the right side of the road . After 350 miles (about) I took the rest on ferry... pretty new experience as well.  Saturday 15:14... Good bye England.  So weird feeling... I definitely do not like traveling by boat (with car ) At last "solid ground". Damn long 90 minutes . Welcome France... ...and still the same side of road . Sunday morning 9:15 I have left France to Belgium, than Netherlands and finally... Autobahn! No-speed-limit highway in Germany  First chance to test if limiter really has been removed (during gauge conversion to miles) JDM 180km max speed is boring right? .  Car runs unbelievably... but it costs something (I hate German highway... You would not believe how much fuel it can take when driving fast)  Sunday afternoon 18:00 at last first sign I'm close to Czech Republic again...  Sunday evening 20:00... After today's 600miles I got home... (Only here you can meet harvester between cars on road ) My trip is over but all fun still has not began . 2nd gen of SS-four needs some time and work

Contrats!
600 mile trip, good way to break the ice between you and your new GT-4
