350ash just told me they hung up on a conference call with germans to observe it...

I was hoping the call would have finished by then but it had dragged on a bit so I just said it was Remembrance day, we have a 2 minute silence, we'll ring them back. It's the least we can do to show some respect.

 

That's shocking! I didn't realise you even left your keys with them....

 

 

Not sure if this applies to every airport car park but we had to leave the keys at East Midlands, safety regs I suppose.

When I flew from East Midlands I didn't have to leave my keys. I didn't have a zed at the time but I still wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving my keys with anyone.

I couldn't resist the "free" part! I wasn't keen to give them my phone number though so I just went with 01234567890, I've done this before and I really hope that no-one actually has that number because they must get loads of junk calls.

I'm going to be in Milton Keynes for a couple of weeks over the xmas - new year period so if there's a meet during that time I might come along.

I won't add my name to the list as I'm only going to be a temporary MKer.

Quite interesting, but a job I think I'd hate to do myself.

Did anyone else watch The Gadget Show afterwards? They recreated the Italian Job with remote controlled cars and the two police cars were 350Zs, something I suspect not many non-zedders may have noticed!

Mods can you lock this now please? I collected some wheels today.

Thanks

I guess if you've got a really light flywheel and you take a while selecting the new higher gear then a blip might raise the revs back up to where you want them but I can't see it being needed in a standard 350Z.

I know I shouldn't like the X6 but I can't help but actually quite like it. I think everyone else hating it so much makes me like it a bit more for some strange reason.

I reckon this could well be one the ugliest cars ever, the Weber Faster One:

Looks ok but I think the 'Z' badge on the boot might be upside down (not that that should put you off from getting it!).

I don't know any details about this bike rack, I just stumbled across the photo recently. It appears to show that you can attach a rack to the car but I don't know how much damage they may have inflicted whilst doing so.

If you do decide to meet up tomorrow let me know, I should be able to make it.

I can't see him lasting very long, the novelty of having the stig will wear off quickly now people realise how dull he is.

I turned it on about 10 min in, just at the end of the drag strip part. I'm guessing he was the guy doing that? I also thought after seeing it "I know why the made the stig keep his helmet on and not say anything".

Thanks, I've sent some PMs to all of the above

I really like the third pic.

Only tip: if you don't park in a puddle you can save yourself from getting wet feet

(oh, and find a better football club next time too )

I'm after a set of the standard 18" alloys (not the rays) so if anyone has a set for sale please let me know. I'm not too fussed by some slight scuffs on them and they don't need to have tyres fitted either.

Thanks

I prefer the originals... the colours just don't look right in the 'shopped ones, sorry John!

Do it Stan...

If you say "Do it Stan" quick enough and with a funny accent it could almost sound like "Datsun". That seems like a sign to me - get one!

Evo is also the only one I read.

I saw that before, I like how a lot of the comments are along the lines of "the 370Z is nice but I still prefer the 350Z"

I think the best way to look after it would be to go for a 10-20 mile drive everyday, just to keep everything ticking over nicely

To be a bit more helpful I think you're supposed to put some more pressure into the tyres, I don't know how much though - maybe google would be able to tell you?

Hi and welcome to the forum. Feel free to post up any cars that you are considering. Its also possible to get locals to check a car out if they are a long distance away.

 

What about this one? Not too keen on it being an automatic but does seem cheap thinking about mileage/age

That one also looks like an import, even though there's no mention of it in the advert. There's nothing wrong with imports but they do tend to be cheaper.

I'm 6'3" and I find that I just fit in. With the seat all the way back, the base reclined as far as possible and the back reclined slightly I can get comfortable but I need to keep my hair short otherwise it catches on the headlining. Now that I've got my seat just right I'll kill anyone that moves it because I know I'll never find that sweet spot again!

As Leeroy mentions, I think the non-GT seats (ie cloth rather than leather and manual rather than automatic adjustment) sit slightly lower in the car, they might be worth a try - get along to a meet and sit in someone's non-GT spec car.

It's the first new Jag I've seen in a long time that I've liked straight away, it's a shame that it probably won't go into production.

Email sent, worth a try
