Medical school to be an interventional radiologist.

I don't know how the system works there but are you a student or a doctor in the process of becoming a radiologist?

You probably know but here we go to med school for 6 years, then do 2 years (FY1/FY2) rotating around the hospital every 4 months and then start our speciality training which can take 3 to 7 years.

EDIT: hope you don't mind me asking.

R32 - Classic Jap Styling and switchable RWD
R33 - Pretty, but not aggresive
R34 - The Boss looking car
R35 - The first supercar look

I love the GTR it is my fave car from a technological point of view as I am such a geek.

The Ferrari has the soul, the Porsche, everyday useability, the GTR fits somewhere in the middle with a major geek fest in the middle (the multi function displays building on the R34's).

Personally I love the red, it's incredibly rare out here. Just don't buy one without doing your research first, even my 911 was pathetically cheap to run compared to this.

Well I guess you know it

but yeah they are not cheap to insure or run, looked into it awhile back when I had a bit of money available, theres something thats at the same time so savage and yet refined about them that really does it for me.

Its 4 years of undergraduate degree first followed by 4 years of medical school before starting residency in your desired field. For me that's 6 years on a very reduced salary.

Nice Datsun.

Really looks well in that colour, nice purchase.

One of these over took my N reg Fiesta just out of the tunnel to the Wirral, I believe my car is still resonating from the vroooooooooom!

Reduced from being a trained pilot I assume, which is probably a fair wack.

I doubt he's running a GTR on £18k a year.

I saw a Blue GT-R today, I think the guy was lost though because he was driving very cautiously and came up the same road a few seconds later.

Sounded awesome, but nobody seemed to take notice of it.

Resident salary starts at about $50k and increases by $5k ish a year. Residency salary is less than 1/10th of the fully trained salary, hence me saying its massively reduced.

Simon · 10 Oct 2011 at 20:11

Nice

Ok so not too different to here. It takes around 13 years form start to finish here also.

So you are a resident in radiology now? Thats a very commutative area to be in, but then taking home half a million a year after your done is not bad going so all the hard work and long hours will be worth it

scousegit · 10 Oct 2011 at 22:10

nice motor, how come these don't have them gay bumper stick out things like your porsche did?

Or is it just certain cars need that particular protection on the rear of the car?

It varies but minimum for me if it's a good day would be 8am-6pm 7 days a week. Add in 2 days of overnight call and the fact that most days I don't leave until midnight or later and you can easily rack up 90 hrs.

Sounds like the USA are running what we were pre-EWTD, their training is going to be so much better than the UKs. EWTD came in in my F2 year and my god the F1's complained about staying 1 minute overtime! muppets

Back on topic, lovely lovely car, it has so much presence on the road, absolutely love it, and red is nice too. Cars here would be so much better without the front number plate. I really need to up my car game after seeing this......

What Recession?

Medical profession is one of the few where I would say that a big salary is very well deserved.

Peoples lives in you hands day in day out and the potential to give someone a whole new lease of life. Must be very rewarding but not something I could do.

Much more justifiable than some tool chasing around after a bag of wind then getting in a strop and refusing to play

Sorry for the OT... Fantastic car but I'm sure I remembered being low key on campus as being one of your criteria for the M3... how is that working for you with the GTR

Hope you enjoy it if you can find the time to get behind the wheel!
