    PLAYBOY 350Z ad!

    The shot where you see the car slowly pulling up to the girl with the roof moving was done by a girl in the passanger seat laying over the guys lap out of shot to reach the open/close button under the dash we were all in fits including the male model as it looked like she was giving him some pleasure

    PLAYBOY 350Z ad!

    Sorry Martin, I had to keep stum until the ad came out they did tell me it was only going to be shown in France as the guy and the lovely girl were French all the other extras were English. I can now see where the money is spent in the film industrie there was people for all sorts of jobs and everybosy seemed to have a 'runner' somebody that waits on you hand and foot. We were fed by a huge catering truck with loverly meals and on the last night as it was very late they asked me if I fancied some 'Nandos' the takeaway bill came to £750 the manager of Nandos was very pleased as it had been a quite evening No frangrance I'm afraid in fact the only time I saw the bottle was when the guy sprayed it on himself in the last shot and that took about 10 takes and 2 hours
  3. Hi, A while back in May Martin asked about anybody on here with a Silver 350 Roadster for some TV work I contacted Martin who put me in touch with a guy looking for a specific 350z who owns a company supplying cars to the TV and film industrie. The company contacted me and by coincidence they were about 1/2 mile from where I live so the director popped round to see my car, he took many pictures to send to the company concerned who specifically wanted a Nissan 350z Silver with tan trim. I had a good chat with the chap (Gary) asking who the company was that the car was for and it was PLAYBOY (wow I'm going to have girls all over the car) no it was for Playboy's new aftershave for men (blah) anyway they liked the car and wanted to use it. A week later I went with the car to various locations in London for shoots one of them we met at the London eye at night for some still shots then they wanted me (yes me) to drive across London Bridge with a shot of the car and the London eye in tha back ground this shot took all night till the early hours and I must have drove over that Bridge 20 times for a mili second shot on the ad! Next location was the rear of The Hackney Empire the road was closed for two days/nights for the set to be made the rear emergency entrance to the Empire was made to look like the entrance to a Playboy night club with extras queing to get into the club and a rain machine was used you will see why in the ad. If you look closely roadster owners will notice the macho guy presses the centre console button to open the roof while still driving this shot was done on a trailer as the car will not drive while the roof works. The shooting took 3 days and nights and I was with the car the whole time as no way was I going to let them crawl all over my car and scratch it but I had to let them fix some camers to the bodywork which was heart wrenching as they were using scaffold poles and rigging kits with large suckers fixed to the doors and bonnet for certain shots but they were very careful about it. Anyway here's the ad and for the time it took it's a quick flash of my now famous Z'ed.
  4. Hi, I have recently noticed I have bad condensation in my near side headlight I was hoping it would dry out but even the past couple of days with the heat it's still wet inside. So how can I get rid of it is the unit sealed it's a Bi-xenon unit or do you think if I remove the indicator or side light bulb for a day it will evaporate
  5. Mmm, good price are these supercharged?
  6. How do you value your car?
  7. Will be in the high 20's maybe 30's I'm back there in October myself will still get a nice tan but the evenings may be cooler so take a jumper.
  8. Yep, Fethiya is a stunning port town where you can book a Gulet (boat) to cruise the islands and yes they sell high end fake goods there's a bag shop there that sells top brand bags of very high quality. If you visit Fethiya which is a must go to the fish market it's an area that has seafood stalls selling fresh caught fish and huge prawns they clean them for you then the resturants surrounding the stalls cook the food for you for only 6 lira it's a fantastic site to see.
  9. Hi there, The Turkish Lira has never been so good it's extremely cheap out there but this year is even cheaper I can only recommend that if you want a cheap holiday to a fantastic destination go there.
  10. Oh man, your going to have a whale of a time that's where my Villa is I got back from there last week and the temperature was in the 40's take plenty of sun cream. I don't know where to start for you to visit first, for eating out and night life you can walk down into Hisaronu town it's a strip about a mile long full with resturants and bars I eat out every night as it's so cheap and I'm talking steaks and lamb shanks for £8 a full blown meal with wine will be about £18 ahead. If your wanting a beach you need to go to Oludenuz Beach it's another resort about 1/4 mile too far to walk but cabs are about £5 or a dolmus (bus ride) £2. It's the most photographed beach in the World if you don't want waves walk around the corner to Billys beach in the lagoon where I watched turtles surfacing while out with the kids on the pedoloes. If you have the nerve you must do a paragliding jump Oludenuz has the highest jumping site in Europe it's nealy 7000 feet high and takes nearly an hour to get to the landing strip which is on the beach as for day trips go on a jeep safari your'll love it but be prepaird to get wet! Let us know how you got on
  11. I have a villa in Turkey in the South where are you actually going?
  12. After all it's a V8 and very powerful so I cannot see how you could thrash a thing like this the people that bought these have the money to spend on them when things go wrong it's got a very comprehensive history, my mates lending me it for the day tomorrow I'll report back!

    Canon 40D

    Yep, most good cameras have this feature on them!
  14. I went round my mates last night who is a car trader he sells mainly top cars like Porsche,BMW,Mercedes and the like, I pulled up in my Zed and he took quite a shine to it as he has never sold one so not took much notice of them while he was looking over my car I had a look at his stock and he had 2 Mercedes SL's there. We had a good chat and I'm tempted to buy one of them it's a 2004 Mercedes SL AMG 55 in Black with cream interior fully loaded as you would expect with command and satnav etc. with merc history showing 84,000 miles the price of this beast new was £108,000 he's asking £20,000 for it it's so tempting I could not sleep last night I'm not bothered about running the thing as I only do about 3000 miles a year in my car I'm just thinking my Zed looks like it's loosing money buy what gets advertised on here and maybe the Mercedes has done it's money and should level out for a few years and it's an awsome car
  15. I have a mate selling one of these and it's been a great car it's well cheaper than what you have looked at in Autotrader if your interested I can get you his phone number he's not advertised it because he's not fussed about selling it but if somebody came along after it he would let it go PM me if you want more details
  16. I have had my car a year now and this week for some reason I have water on the inside in the n/s Bi-zenon head light I have used the head light washers a few times this week would it be possible that water from this to get inside as I thought the lights were sealed can I get inside the lens to wipe it then seal it somehow?
  17. you think your going to get reliability for under a grand
  18. it is a Ford Fiesta there is nothing on it that is Mazda or Japanese so don't think your getting jap reliability there built in Spain!

    Fiat 500

    My friend has always wanted one she bought it and cannot stand it any longer, she's had it 3 months and has not stopped complaining about it everytime I see her. The main problems there much too small inside the ride is hard and road noise is loud plus there over priced for what they are! On the other hand I have just bought my daughter a Suzuki Swift 1.3 GL when I went to get it it was a 146 mile drive home I could not believe what an outstanding car it is and cruised home at 85mph for the whole journey I would seriously consider one.
  23. that seems cheap for a P3 from Nissan I also thought a P3 was the big service
