    New vanquish

    Saw this yesterday on the road. Saw the front first from a distance and just thought it was a facelift DBS or something. Not too much changed from astons of late But the rear was just stunning. Sounded sweet Can't post the pics directly- feel free to do so for me http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/aston-martin/vanquish/88109/aston-martin-vanquish-2014-pictures
  2. It was an r sport mate. Might not have upgraded suspension I just presumed it would? I drove it from Glasgow to Bolton. Wasn't pushing it as driving like it was stolen lol just meant on the motorway didn't feel like some barges iv driven. The lexus LS460 is bigger but way less bargey
  3. Dave- to me it does look like a euro box. Just another exec car In that class look at the new IS F sport- design wise nothing in that sector is anywhere near as radical. The rest look too ordinary, including the XE As mentioned before the big XJ has a funky design. I thought this would've followed suit. Lyon would expect the cars in this sector to be a bit more daring rather than the grandad/chauffeur sector In terms of the XF- I love how it looks inside and out. But wasn't overly impressed with the drive. Felt too floaty, didn't feel comfortable pushing it because it didn't feel very sure footed. That was a sport which I presume had better suspension? The XE would have to be a much better drive IMO
  4. Yep NeilP has the motul livery on his zed Personally I think that look only suits track/drift cars. Neil uses his on track regularly. Similarly there are some drifters on here who have livery including a pro drifter (bizz) If you are gonna do it it will look naff on a standard car. Needs to be heavily modified to pull it off I quite like the black/orange colour scheme. Have a look here for ideas http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77580-design-bizzs-drift-car/
  5. Lexx make Neil do it. He suggested it in the first place
  6. I believe you graham- take a deep breath
  7. What a **** Btw what happened to the cars of the month being forwarded for the calendar?
  8. Well spotted Dave. Let's submit our azures
  9. My zed had an Eric Clapton cassette in the deck
  10. Don't submit one until the deadline and choose your favourite. Keep it simple Is Neil on the calendar photo choosing team? Cars without stickers won't get his vote
  11. My choice woulda been celestial black with red interior
  12. I think they're really nice cars. Love the tail lights and the way the speedo slides around electronically. The temp controls are a neat trick as well The only criticism I had was it lacked road presence. I think it's cos the rear wheels sit so far inside the arches. But that's just me I didn't even mind the fake exhaust noise What colour combo did you go for?

  14. Sorry to hear that mate. I wrote my skyline off a few weeks back so I know how annoying it is. I collided with another car but like yourself nobody was hurt I had to negotiate a price with the insurers and by sticking to my guns we agreed on almost double the first offer My situation was different cos skylines have risen in value lately. But don't give in to them and show as many examples as you can Hope you get it sorted soon but it can take time
  15. All depends on the set up of the wheels mate. I had spacers on my rears only but it will mean nothing if your wheels aren't the same dimensions I can show you pics if you like but the best thing to do is buy wheels that don't need spacers
  16. Lexus for me. If it's an f sport I think the merc looks really wierd from some angles
  17. Pool table, sofa, tv, mini fridge Sorted
  18. I never got the chance to buy any of your stuff for my zed Since I'm carless you should donate a zed or a g35 to me il happily be a prolific tarmac sportz shopper
  19. Thing is joe public won't bother checking ads and pushing for a better price like car enthusiasts. My sister told me the other night she accepted a very low first offer for their car. I told her you never accept the first offer and send them evidence of the real value. She told me she couldn't be bothered!
  20. Yea using Dan mainly but don't always get to speak to him. The other guys tend to be pretty helpful as well
  21. It was A plan as the broker and service underwriting as the insurer One of the ads they showed me was yours
  22. Had an email this morning saying the first cheque was an initial payment and a further cheque would be issued if the valuation was raised. I was sceptical obviously but then within an hour I had another email They had look at the ads more realistically, given an average of thrones closest matching mine, deducted a 5% "haggling at point of sale" fee and I will be getting a second cheque for just under a grand
  23. Yep the cheque is going back to them I was just worried that I didn't have the power to fight it further But it's just a tactic they use to end matters quickly I presume
