Had a few goes of it and tried out the simulation handling; not sure if that was there in FM3? Either way, feels awesome now. Do agree it's a little odd that they lost out on the Porsche license? But some of the changes in the game especially lightning engine make it look sweet. Trying to wrestle an SLS around the Top Gear track with just ABS on is a nightmare with my fat fingers but hella fun!

Nah I agree with Ekona, Hamilton seemed distracted from before 130R. Yeah JB wasn't too far down the road ahead of him, but he could have been a lot closer because lets face it, he wouldn't exactly hold him up on a flying lap, and could have benefited from the tow anyway.

Glad you got an outcome your happy with. Got to agree, if I had another Zed it would have to be in Azure too!

Renewed again with Sky to make it 3 years on the trot now. Always a pleasure to deal with, and the first renewal for the R8 is not as bad as I feared!

Honestly not sure if this is strictly legal, but certainly didn't have any problems in 18 months or so?

Yet another pole for Vettel.

Just hoping for some exciting viewing either way. Would make great tv if Vettel fails to get into q3 or something, but I rather expect it to be YAPFV .

Well, I'm slightly biased of course, but you could do a lot worse than the R8. Ticks a lot of boxes, very comfortable cruiser, epic carrying capacity and that sound. 30k is a nice round figure though, have you considered: TVR T350? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2838818.htm Corvette C6? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2892040.htm

What a corker. Spent near all weekend playing this!

So many great pictures in this thread... damn, I really need to learn how to take a decent snap!

scorpion has a lifetime warranty, the k2 doesnt. Japspeed are good about sorting problems however, despite the exhausts being a little inconsistent. I had an entire system replaced after a fault with the tailpipes on a K2. Still, if your considering a new exhaust I'd really suggest saving up a few more hundred and plump for something like a Buddy Club if you want loud, they ooze quality.

Very nice - not just any old SLR either!

Biggest one for me atm is the rise of HGV's blindly following satnavs down tight country lanes. What a palaver. Also, I have experienced the phenomena of someone driving 20mph+ below the speed limit on said B roads, and yet taking massive offense when you overtake them in a safe manner. Can't quite fathom the thinking there...

Aye, I saw a similar procession. A 911 GT2, GT40, California and a 360 Modena in quick succession.

Been to Southampton and back today, and spotted an Azure coupe OV53 I think? on the M40. Then when almost back home I spotted Mattbowey I think? in his green coupe - loving that colour btw, despite the bad weather it looked ace!

Love it, just the right side of bonkers!

Al kindly showed me around his car and gave me a passenger ride as I've been leaning towards chopping in the Zed for an R8. I can confirm that this car is absolutely pristine and a beast to boot. Can't quite believe how much more refined the interior is compared to the Zed. And if you think the sound of the youtube clip is good... trust me, in the flesh it is pure devil music! Thanks again Al, good luck with the sale!

Rather enjoyed that race, bless the weather! Shame for Lewis, but Button fully deserved it. Got to agree with captain above, both Brundle & Coulthard have this habit lately for looking away from the tv feed it seems. Also, penalty for Lewis was a little harsh I reckon. He actually avoided an accident with the Lotus/Renault (whatever it was!) by getting off the racing line sharpish. But yeah, he could maybe have done it a little differently!

Yep, awesome race; can't think of one before that's had me on the edge of the seat so much, literally.

Bloody hell, that's one lucky boy!

Welcome! The Zed gives off all sorts of weird and wonderful noises, not to worry!

Looks good! Spoiler rings a bell, seem to recall it being mentioned on here recently, and of eastern European make via E-bay? Looks good though, like a slightly more subtle Nismo v2.

Was an average race; think the commentators were rather overstating things by trying to claim it was the best of the season. I'm sure it is when your sat in the opulent new complex at Silverstone! Half track dry, half wet made for an excellent start though. Hate to say it, but I think Bernie's water sprinkler idea isn't so bad after all...

Welcome! This does remind of a thread about 350z's being imported from Ireland, getting GT4 alloys and a late registration. A shot of the engine bay would be the give away really. It certainly looks like a 296; but the difference for the bum dyno is negligible when it comes down to the bhp. There is no 'bad' 350z to buy, that's for sure.

Welcome!
