  1. Can't speak for the Focus RS but the 370 has good power, it is NA so it's always going to be different power delivery as you say, peak power is at something like 7k rpm. Plus, and this isn't mean to put down the Focus in a nasty way, the 370 is a vastly better looking car and isn't derived from a family hatch. With that I'll look forward to seeing another 370 owner on the site
  2. I stand corrected then in that case yes that is somewhat of a concern in purchasing that car.
  3. The bonnet has raised on one edge, doesn't look too bad. I think the damage on the GTR you're making reference to is a lot different, that's the pedestrian safety device. As far as I know our cars don't have that, do they?
  4. I'm only 22 and my insurance was close to 2k without a claim last time I'm pretty sure claiming will cost me more in one renewal than the £400-£600 repairs. Best route to go I think mate and I feel for you having to clean that. I used to work with a guy who did insurance repairs and some of the stories were pretty horrific of what he had to clean up.
  5. I was on the fence about this one, might give a view after you recommended it. Is it funny?
  6. Probably gippos, completely sickening. I'm no dog lover by any stretch of the imagination but to do something like this is horrible. I hope the car can be sorted okay mate.
  7. Very nice I do need an exhaust. Get some spacers on that bad boy too!
  8. My old man used to hate taking the DB9 for a service, think it must be something to do with why he gave it the boot and 'replaced' it with a DB2/4, very different cars though.
  9. Welcome, good luck with the search. Not too sure how many black editions come up for sale. Don't think I'd sell mine any time soon.
  10. Lot of typical big man talk here that would do nothing but get you in trouble with the law and make you as bad as the person committing the act in the first place go the sensible route, gather evidence that's good enough to nail the bastard, hand it over to the police and get them to serve you for once.
  11. It was no sleeper! Didn't have a zorst too handle the power hike! More like a hamster in a wheel than a big block! Why would a sleeper have a huge exhaust? The engine has to be able to breathe out! But ok......... ..........Maybe it was a sleeper! I was just and still am loving the wheels! Exhaust doesn't need to be that big I mean if it had 160bhp that would be a sleeper of sorts as most have sub 100bhp. I hate to say it but 160bhp would be great fun in something like that
  12. Only seen one sub 20k 370Z so far.
  13. Whats the difference? Can't you just alter the beam direction?

    She's Gone

    Got an R34 GTR blocking the bloody drive so I can't wash my 370. You can come get it for free if it means I can wash my car
  15. Bet it's got a red top with the way the front is leaning towards the floor. How cute, reminds me of my first car I suppose on the plus side it's clean.
  16. Obama decided not to release the pics. I suppose claiming his administration killed the FBI's 'most wanted' has done enough for his popularity polls and secured him that second term.
  17. A quality a lot of sportsmen no longer possess, very sad RIP.
  18. It's a load of rubbish and makes Obama look like every other President the US had, bunch of jokers. I could go on but I'm not going to get into this, just glad I'm not American, we just look bad by association now.
  19. Really?! That seized after 6 years? Mechanic needs to man up and get some torque on them okay maybe they were tight but still nice exhaust, exactly what I wanted for my 350!
