Just seen this monster . I thought my Merc was quite meaty.......think again boy! 6.8 litre, 420bhp, 440 footpounds!! http://www.pistonheads.com/inc/popup3.a ... orig-L.jpg http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=22327 Mine, after just having had sand kicked in its face...

My first 'big' relationship when i was 19 was with 32 yr old woman...lasted 12 yrs. My mum is 66 and step dad is 53 been together about 36 yrs. It's all good

maybe we should try Googling 'black 350Z Lesbos' i wonder what would pop up?

That says a lot about you two!!

In Molyvos, a gorgeous village in Lesbos, Greece. Doing a 3 point turn in an impossibly narrow cobbled street!!! Black with aftermarket LED tail lights and some kind of body kit I didnt recognise. I'll be surprised if anyone says 'yep, that was me!' Maybe a good topic would be......'wheres the most unlikly place youve seen a Z' ??? unless its been done before.

Love the Big cat . And that girl is a superb actress... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l_Bz_OH ... r_embedded

Wow really? Ragtops are starting to make scarey money now.... I think I love her too much to get rid of her........

LOL! my missus isn't too keen either...i was supposed to be replacing our knackered Ford maverick 4x4 7 seater!! She refuses to drive it and doesn't even want to be seen out in it my wife doesn't understand me

Yeah baby, tha's what i'm talkin' 'bout should feel great over british pot holed roads

Welcome buddy, glad theres a few more southerners coming into the fold, were catching up with those rich northerners at last

Wafting is the word! should have some go as well though, but at the moment i'm a bit nervous about any pedal to the metal business. Building up confidence slowly is the order of the day.

just used the last of a 5 year old tube on the grill! better stock up.

Thanks for the kind words guys......last of the truely hand built Mercs too, apart from McLaren Mercs off course

Just thought, we have 10.7 litres in our houshold now!!!

Picked up this hunny on Friday, been dreaming about one of these for a long time. '72 280SE 3.5 litre V8 . Body needs some tidying, but it's really good underneath and interior is vitually mint. The seller had just spent over a grand servicing and refreshing all the engine bay ancilleries. It passed its MOT yesterday (advisery on kingpins) and, of course, the tax is free . Insurance fully comp was £140 for the both of us. Just needs slammin' to the deck now for that proper effect........ Please dont tell the Z, i don't know if she would understand Kat certainly doesn't!!! she was not impressed at all

Maybe Zugara at Whitely? Roadster?

OK.....i cant help myself......whats pink and hard?...... A pig with a flick knife...

Don't worry, i'm a fan of cr*p jokes too

i wonder if my little tab was missing, 'cos i dont remember pressing it! it just slid off toward the front of the car. Anyway well done, you'll be working for Mclaren F1 anyday soon

If I don't succeed tomorrow maybe I'll come and see you then?! Yeah no problem mate

Did it the other day in about 10 secs flat. I didnt even really think about it, it just came straight off and the new one went straight on....sorry, hope that don't wind you up

Hmmmmmm feeling peckish now

Doncha' just love disposable cars?! Had 7 seater peugeot estate before, when things started to go wrong i sold it to a guy who took it banger racing! i was so pleased the old girl went out having some fun Come to think of it, my celica went to a mate who stripped it out and went drag racing!!! Just call me for all your race car needs

The R1 started making loud clacky sound coming into work, from the rear end, seemed the chain has a very baggy spot. Borrowed some tools and tightened it up. Going home it still made the same noise, so...bit the bullet and ordered up a new chain/sprocket kit. Used the Maverick for work the next night (Kat uses the Z when were working). Coming home from work in the Maverick at 07:00 on Sat morning it suddenly overheats when im sat waiting at the lights in the middle of a 4 lane roundabout! I manage to quickly roll to edge of the roundabout and bump up on the verge. I wait 20 mins, for it to cool, then open the rad cap....lots of cream coloured foam....hmmmmmm. Leg it about 1.5 miles to gas station, buy 4 litres of refreshing spring water, leg it back and fill the rad. It struggles but just starts, phew! It then seemed ok to drive. So, I set of for work the next night, got back to previous roundabout and Wham! clouds of steam again!! Bum. Didnt think it was worth getting stuck somewhere, so refilled with water and limped home, phoned work and took a holiday. Looked under bonnet, the bottom of the rad is utterly 'Donald Ducked' plus the creamy foam makes me think the head gasket has gone. The car also needs a new exhaust and the screen is cracked , and the car is probably only worth about £500 (190,000miles!). Maybe time we parted ways? Back to the bike, went to my Dads workshop to fit the new chain etc, had massive trouble getting the axle out, turns out the bearings have semi collapsed, overheated and distorted, gripping the axle tight. So i couldnt even get the bike on the road as nobody could get the bearings until today, double bum! Thankfully my kind Dad leant me his BMW 330d, so not all bad So i should be back on 2 wheels today. Im gonna start looking for a replacement for the Maverick...anyone got experience of Merc ML320s? Seen a few at a nice price. Sorry for the long rant

I completely empathise mate! i find i have to really really stop myself sometimes, when some pleb does what plebs do best. Even the most mild mannered of us can be pushed too far. Dont let anyone preach to you either, you know whats right and wrong, you dont need someone who wasn't there telling you. We love Windsor by the way
