I bought mine about two weeks ago. 06 - facelift - full GT pack alloys etc Sat Nav and it's the roadster in cool black. £16K. 20 K miles full NSH. Full warranty roadside assistance etc and got £9K for my 07 Type R. That was over book too. So basicly, shop around. The 06 interior is nicer too. And it's the 300 pony version But If you like it and you are happy to pay, then orf yer go. Took me an age to find the right deal but was like a fat kid in a sweet shop once I was in the dealers Gotta clean the wifes Nissan now..........she dont help me do mione Happy hunting

Cool stuff, That a DSP amp ? I nevr sure whether to set to DTS or just leave on direct. Nerd in shop says direct..... Onkyo DSP M&K 6.2 speakers set up 43" Pioneer plasma. About 5 yr old now..... Looking at 3D, but spent all my money on my Zed PS3 Wii -never turn the thing on. Sky HD Love it Give it some welly during the matrix - Zion attack - and feel the earth move. Currently and endlessly playing Battlefield 2 online. Best game ever.

Agree about the WII. It was aimed at family/kids where the PS3 is more a GAMER machine. I love it. and it's a blu ray player, the latest update has turned it into a 3d blu ray too..... I have bought the strategy game - Hoax of Bluff or somesuch. It's poo. Although I have only played it once so far..... Did the downloads of various demos. I know what you mean about the Table tennis, check that spin !! The zit in the shop promised 'loooaaadsa games before christmas dude' for which I almost slapped him. Still, interested to see what coming out though I lurve my home cinema set up. What have you got ?? New Topic ? Old one ?

That was great :-) Best guide book I 've read....

bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloodybloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bird has sh*t on my car

I have detected the burning smell too. It is only when giving it a good spanking. I brought this up with the dealer and his chief spanner man said there is a gearbox rad/cooling mech of some kind - first I have heard of such a thing - and the smell would be from that. Odd. Still, warranty will be my safety net there. Will see what happens.

Well 5 hours of buffing have got me a fabbo shine. I used the meguiars 3 step stuff but in my local H*lf*ds they didn have the step 3 so bought the gold class stuff instead. Excellent shine and very happy. So now a question on car wash shampoo, I guess that I dont use a wash n wax combo ? To me that would be putting a cheapo wax over the decent stuff I just applied. Or would it make no difference? How long should I leave it before repeating the 3 step treatment again ? I guess that I could just wash it as 'normal' - is this where a speed detail spray is used ??? I will get a photo and post later of current efforts

I think a track based tuition would be best. Would be good if it cost a bit less than the £100's / day quotes I'm seeing so thought of the group thing. Next trick will be where, as we are quite spread out.

Do I feel a group booking in the wind ? You know what I mean

I have just bought a 350z. It's my sportiest car ever. I have had a few that had promise but I feel this is the real deal. 300 horses and rear wheel drive and all that. IT's why I bought it ! The best toy ever..... I have ridden fast bikes for years but that hardly transposes here. Instead of relying on years of bad habits and bravery, I am looking to get the best out of my car by learning how to actually drive. Has anyone tried an advanced performance course. Where ? What did you think ? Would you recommend anyone ?

Bass is my thing. Got a band too, although not allowed outside of practice rooms yet...... It's cool. After a few days of work, wed nights allow a huge pressure release I play a Warwick Streamer custom. s'nice

With the meguiars list, what types do you mean ? There seem to be loads out there. Super gold cold spiffo etc What shampoo then paint cleaner etc ??? How do these detailing angle grinders work ? Continous rotation or orbital ? Is it quicker, as much as you suggest ? Thanks for the patience on all the questions, much appreciated

WOW rothers, that is stunning ! I absolutly love my new Z. I know bog all about detailing. I usually some local polish chaps to polish the car - Honda Civic, gone now- and had a spot of luncheon with darling wife. But all that must change to get the Z supery dupery :-) BLimey that supernatural has a super price too.... I might go for the meguires list as detailed above......unless there are further votes ?

is Black hole polish the stuff by poorboys ? Having trouble finding supernatural was(h) though....

thanks guys. I'm off to find some now. Any other hints ? The detailing posts are startling in thier detail and am not quite sure where to start. The Queens English ? I believe her to be a bounteous progenitor of the house of Hanover

Should black be treated any differently ? It may be a stupid question but standing in H*lf*rds staring like a eeedjut at the stuff on the shelves there was a super duper black paint cleaning kit for about 4 million quid. Any thoughts ?? I bought bugger all and ran for it.......

prices for the oem ? Also, the covers for the window switches, Got em for an 06 ?

The gear diagram on the gear knob is scuffed. Any suggestions on replacement ? Thread wise etc

so hard to say which was best...... swimming with dolphins, getting the perfect shot of a sperm whale fluking, standing on the top of mount cook, jet boating, the endless endless out of this world scenery.......... it was a very cool holiday. Hired a camper and turned left out of the hire centre and kept going until it was on the left again a coupla thousand miles later...... didnt make it north though. Shame as I wanted to see more maori stuff. Cool dudes :-)

hOT DAMN IT'S FUN ! Twitchy on new tyres so settled for 145 on the way home....... Giggled more on the test drive, chucking the arse out on Marsh Barton trading estate roundabouts than a whole year of owning a Civic Type R. Shouldda stuck with the origional plan......... Right who's up fer a bla st tomorrow ?

IT'S ALIVE !!!

NZ ?? Are you safe from recent tectonic disco's ? Love the place, did a lap of the south island last year which bit is yours ?

We should meet for a Pimms then.... When I am suitably Zeded of course

Not a hard rogering then...... cool

Bridgwater. But only for the last 20 years...... You?
