    Make sure you put the jump leads on the right way the wrong way do untold damage!
  2. About 2 years ago the parents of one of my mate's owned a house in Salcombe, Devon that was on the market, a guy turned up called Ben Collins to look at the house, fairly wealthy guy into racing they got talking and it came out he was the Stig on Top Gear. So I've known for a couple of years. But the thing is, does it really matter than he's been 'unmasked' as it were? No. It's the Stig, it could be Michael Jackson behind that helmet for all I care. It's just the novelty and the introductions by Clarkson that make the Stig.
  3. You ask a person who owns a manual and they'll say manual. Ask an auto person and you'll get auto. I own a manual one so I'll say manual I personally believe for a good drive of a sports car you need a manual. In the case of the 370 with a sychro rev box it's amazing. But in all honesty I can't speak for the auto owners amongst us, they say it's good but I can't comment I've never driven one, maybe when I get older and a bit more discerning I will go for an auto
  4. we dont believe you , we need video evidence ! Haha I'm sure she will have no problem with me filming her for you guys
  5. Does anyone else on here own a true Black 'Black Edition' or are they all Quartz, I feel like the odd one out Everytime someone says they're getting one they get a Quartz one.
  6. I appreciate the OPs comments, but rather than trawl through 5 pages of comments. The spare wheel has been replaced for a sub in the higher spec cars and in my opinion how can you buy an auto when the manual is so much fun, unless of course it is your preference, I know my old man would never really buy a new manual performance car only ever a classic.
  7. You might want to re-evaluate that statement after a short drive in the car. MPG is higher than the 350 for sure! Nice choice though, although I have to say I saw a yellow 370 today with 'go faster' stripes. Oh dear me. I hope you don't get them
  8. ...and he's got his fogs on, presumably no fog about, rolling offence that. What a tosser.
  9. I'm going to assume we're all familiar with the 350Z, have all owned/own one, driven one and of course seen one in the flesh. The problem with this argument is you're putting an 8 year old design up against a current 2 or so year old design. A lot of people seem to disagree with this in the past but the turning point for the 350Z in my mind was the facelift. I personally prefer the facelift to the original 350Z, the tweaks worked so well. The lights were far better and the bonnet for me was so nice, it finally gave the 350 the much needed muscle car presence. I have to say I loved my facelift 350Z. Now moving onto the 370Z it's completely different. I must admit, like others, when I first saw pictures of it I didn't like it all that much. Then I saw one in the flesh and I have to say I was blown away. The 370 never made me think any less of my 350 though and I love the 350 just as much as I always did. In short, you really can't say which one you prefer. They are different cars in their own rights. Of course the 350 owners will say the 350 is better looking at the 370 owners will say the 370 is better looking, one things for sure they're both future classics with regards to the cars and their shapes. I'd find it hard to say which is the better looking.
  10. My missus has a pole and is pretty good on it. After she had a go on it I thought "honestly how hard can it be". Threw myself at it, held myself out at a right angle, slipped, fractured a rib and pulled one my intercostal muscles. Never again. I was in so much pain.
  11. Missed his chin didn't he lol
  12. Saw this last night, not in my Zed though, had alloys but it was quite dark to see the rest, it might have been blue. Sorry to be so vague
  13. Might need some sun first isn't it 20/20 vision, I probably have 10/10 vision
  14. Best idea yet and it can look quite amazing if done right.
  15. You'd have to have a chuckle. By the sounds of it no one was hurt, that's the main thing.
  16. I don't think I've seen the video mate but is it this one?
  17. Slam it and stick some ridiculous offset banded steelies on it!
  18. Will you be wearing your weekend attire as well?
  19. Well said mate. It's terrible. I was going to get up early this morning to clean my car for Japfest tomorrow as I'm away all day today but no luck, not with this rain!
  20. Easily better than half the stuff on TV! Are you serious this is for kids?!
  21. I'm seriously starting to feel left behind without an iPhone, still I maintain the photo quality is better on my phone, 12.1 megapixels still doesn't mean I can take a photo haha.
  22. Best of luck mate, I know exactly how you feel after 3 months of hell with my gearbox. I wonder how my old car is now.
  23. They're using those damn cars on everything these days
  24. Mmmmm rapido! I know they are about 280 standard, whats the most cost effective method of inscreasing to say... 300ish? Air filter, cams etc? Exhaust!
