Ronan wins BOTB R34 Nissan GT-R {{favouriteCount}}

RONAN O'Dornan has been given the surprise of his life after winning an iconic Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R worth £60,000, and he also picked up £20,000 in cash, thanks to dream car competition BOTB.

The Ballymena native was left stunned as presenter Christian Williams and the BOTB team delivered his prize outside Belfast Met College where he was working as a freelance photographer.

"I never in a million years thought I'd bump into you. I don't know what to say it's crazy," he said.

Ronan has been driving his girlfriend's car for a while after his own restored Opel Kadett was involved in a crash.

"I'm, in disbelief. It's an iconic car that you don't see on the road hardly ever. It's not something I thought I would ever own. There's a load of new cars out, but I've always been a fan of vintage cars. The Kadett was a normal man's vintage car, but this is dream material." he added.

The Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R, or Godzilla as it's known, was produced from 1999-2002 and is powered by the legendary 2.6-litre twin-turbo, straight six RB26DETT engine that produced 276bhp. These engines are highly tunable with some GT-Rs running 1,000bhp and more with power being sent to all four wheels via a clever ATTESA E-TS Pro system.

Christian, from BOTB, said: "Ronan is a true fan of vintage and iconic cars and it was great to be able to surprise him with a motor that not only he needs but that he is also passionate about."
