Usain Bolt, after crashing his M3, for some reason thought it a good bet to get a GT-R, as the 4-wheel drive makes it safer. I cant really see how going up the ladder in the performance stakes is going to be easier to handle, but you cant really argue with the fastest man on the planet!

True, footballers being the most obvious lot... However GT-R owning celebs seem few and far between, thankfully, as they are in a niche that is it isnt overpriced or Italian, so perhaps it slipped in under their radars?

I didn't think the Suth' could go any higher in my estimation, but I think he just has. Guess what I'm going to be watching again at some point over the next few evenings. :)
