Just noticed this today, and I think its wrong, but could somebody put mymind at rest either way.... In most cars if you have your headlights on, when you turn the ignition off, they go to sidelights. Well my Z doesn't. In fact I can take the keys out of the ignition and still have the headlights on, in fact I can turn on main beam and have the keys in my hand. Surely this isnt right.. is it??

Its here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1080 Still cant make my mind up. But best to post about that one on there...

As I am very curious of any physics type questions (the plane on a runway one keeps popping up every now and then).. I did some digging. It seems there is a whole world of debate out there about this very issue - even physics forums have had debates on the subject.. Ive found the follwoing which are quite informative: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/no ... .Ph.r.html http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/in ... 31381.html http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topi ... h=&t=78848 I havent read all of the stuf, but they seem informative for anyone wanting to read further on the subject. Now if only someone could tell me if the plane actually could take off, that would be great.

I swear when I read Giles said that the site believes in a certain ammount of free speech, I laughed so hard I almost wet myself. But thats probably a little off topic. On the racism front, its probably only likely to end in heated debateand a locked topic, but I was watching an american comedy this morning before I went to work. Its called Everyone Loves Raymond (8.00am on chanel 4 each morning). The main character is a white late thirties guy, and in this particular episode he helped out in a hospital, and in trying to pursuade an elderly black american woman take her tablets, he said if she wanted to get into the press box at an event she needs to get better, and if she wants to get better she needs to takeher tablets. She then agrees, and says "you are a tricky little white boy aren't you". This was just one example I have seen, but why is this tollerated, while a very similar coment made by Clarkson is subject to scrutinisation? We have only banned one member from this website, and it was for making racially motivated derogatory comments, and they were made against a "white" person. So we take it seriously no matter who the agressor or offended party.

Ive seen this before - whats most shocking is the pedestrians just keep on walking, no helping, no checking to see if the chap is OK, no. They just keep on walking.

Im in too. No need to worry about shopping. Im sure my other half would be happy witha few hours at cite de europe, and we can then use the roadsters tardis storage for the trip from France to home.

It certainly looks the business and its a cracking car for the lucky winner.

Yep - Always best to check the DVLA first, as most of these reg sites dont carry masses of stock, they just mark up the DVLA price and work on the basis that their advertising and web site search results rank higher than the DVLA. Got both mine and the other halfs for £250 each from the DVLA.

Hi and welcome. I dont have a speed detector, just rely on alert vision and a lighter right foot. Well tha or another member flashing me in my rear view and letting me know Im about to get caught (thanks Jacko).

Congratulations - we have successfully managed to put an end to Tim providing a useful service to the community. Why dont we all have a look through the traders section and see who we can **** off next, when the last person leaves the forum Ill switch the server off. Tim, keep one to one side for me will you, if it fits the roadster Ill have one. Thread locked, obvious reasons, please feel free to PM Tim if you want one of the last ones and Im sure he will sort one out for you. Chris.

If the dvd is anything to go by, then its certainly a good show for anyone who can make it. My missus wont let me fit springs to the toilet seat Stephen. Ive said I only want to do it to one of the three, just out of convenience, but no. Shes having none of it.

I think it was the way in which it was posted which led people to the wrong conclusion. For instance if I were to post up on a traders thread and provide a link to what I thought was a cheaper alternative, it would imply that I thought the trader was ripping people off. Whereas the truth may be, that the trader is selling a quality product, and my link is to a product made hastily by the fingers of underpaid workers in some far off land that wont stand up to the first shopping bag I entrust it with.

I have been asked for the discount code a fair few times. At that price its no surprise really. Missed the boat myself too!

I dont think Tim is ripping people off at all - quite the contrary, if people took the time to look at the picutures of the articles, you can see that the clips are different for a start, and Im willing to bet the material is of better quality too, but it cant be seen in the pic. Tim has contributed a great deal to this forum and having met him in person several times he is most certainly NOT the sort of chap who would rip people off on this site. I haven't got one of these items, but if they fit the roadster I may invest, and I'd certainly far rather pay £19 for one that has been tried and tested than pay a fiver for one that will probably be no use at all and just go in the bin.

And the price of speccing a Z to that level is......?

Yeah - sorry, thought we had better explain what happened

Looks like its gone, sorry. Ill look into putting extra safeguards in place.

Im not the boss, just the techy stuck in a cupboard sorting our software out. Ive forgot where the moderate button is!

Someone hit the delete button istead of lock I beleive. (You just can't get the staff can you!). Im trying to pull it back from the database now. So no there is no censorship. I dont know if there is an "are you sure you wish to delete this thread" warning or not (shows howoften Ive used the button). Ill have a look and see if there is, and if so make the words BIGGER!

Heres a quote: So he is a convicted drug DEALER, and he is a "deserving" case? Deserving of a bolt gun to the head yes, but up to £3,800 because he couldn't get a fix in prison? What the hell is going wrong with this country? He is a ruddy drug dealer and he's getting compo.

I was going to say, the rest of Europe have the same legislation, but could you honestly see the French, Italians or Germans putting up with it?

I fail to see what these things have to do with eachother. It is the european legislation on human rights which has caused this farce in the first place. If we hadnt signed up to such a wooly and farcical agreement, we wouldnt have every man and his dog claiming "human rights" whenever they feel a punishment is too harsh.

Ming, Dont worry if this does drive you to kill, as you probably wont go to prison for it anyway, as that would be a breach of your human rights to express your dissapointment with the ludicrous decision. Sorry to say, but I used to be proud to be British. Now our country is nothing more than a joke to the rest of the world. We cant even punish those who do wrong without fear of some form of retribution due to our involvement with Europe and all the daft rules & regulations that are generated. Rules which we seem to be the only daft idiots following.

All positive stuff Certainly something to be proud of, congratulations.
