Try Saffron in Cowes. Really good curry house.

I park as far away from anywhere as possible. Have picked up a couple dings but im sure a lot less than it would have if I parked where the missus wanted me too. Im sure we would all park as far away from the entrance to our local supermarket if we didnt have the missus nagging and asking why we do it every time lol

Spotted another Gunmetal 350z chasing a Yellow Seat Leon Fri about 5pm on the A36 heading East.

Spotted a GM 350z on Park Road in Cowes drive past me Thursday night.

I want the new car feeling again, any1 want to swap colours for the weekend? haha. Actually I dont think I could trust any1 else in my Zed. Have a good weekend buddy, and make sure you stop off and take lots of photos of the car on the way home.

I got quite a few flashes from speed cameras and never heard a thing. Think its down to the amount of paper work they have to do so they dont bother. Dont quote me on that though if you get a speeding ticket in the post, so dont go breaking the law,lol.

I used to do this trip quite often when I lived in Italy and Slovenia. My only advice is keep to the speed and distance limits in the Mont Blanc tunnel as they are very strick in there after the fire. Otherwise have fun and stretch the zeds legs a bit P.S. Try and spend more time in Italy than Germany, if you can.

Thanks for the advise guys.

I have noticed when I open the door and the engine is running there is a lot of heat coming from under the car, although engine is running at normal temps. The cabin also gets hot very quickly and air-con is needed most trips. Is this normal?? Thanks

Mine does the same thing, but when I turn it on I have to turn the sound down and hold the tape or the music comes on really loud. I also have to move the tape around to adjust the quality> Any1 else have this problem?

Brilliant post, I have the same questions. Will be keeping a close eye on any suggestions.

Ahh thats bad luck mate, I have heard romours that the 350 exhausts have a tendancy of rotting. Might have to have a look under mine at some point. Can any1 give me an idea of prices for nismo exhausts and if there are any cheap places in the states to get them? I work for a shipping company so could get it thrown on a ship coming over, although i might have to wait a bit longer incase they go to West Africa first,lol. Rich

I have a 2007 350z with built in sat nav and wondered if you can update the software to include speed camera positions. Rich

Dammit. Wish the UK models would of included some of these options. The dipping of the mirrors when reversing is a great idea.
