Hmmm... maybe the "PM R35LEE/ZMANALEX" smilies should have a hyperlink actually taking you to a new PM. Welcome to the forum btw.

I knew the manual had auto-blip, didn't even consider if the auto would as well, makes sense I suppose. Still, manual for me always (maybe paddles)... I'm not that lazy yet!

What's the wrong price??

I never could see the point in buying a sports car in an auto myself - it's like buying a car to drive for fun but not actually driving it.

You mean they're lying on e-bay when they say "OEM Quality and Fitment"?? Never! Not on e-bay surely!

Any 2007+ Roadster covers yet Alex? I'm still waiting.

I'd join in if A) I was on XBox instaed of PS3 and I wasn't addicted to GT5!

I also haven't! been stupidly busy with work... will try and get it in soon.

Moveable rear wings and Kers could make for some interesting overtaking - not sure I'd want to be in the lead with someone < 1 second behind me going in to the home straight though - seems a little unfair if someone wins a race because they were in second place on the last corner... hopefully that won't happen though.

Me too, only difference being that I'd break a cable the first time I plugged it in and I'd have to hack saw the tubing to repair the cable.

I'm pretty good at driving, I just wish the AI cars would stop driving in to me on the licenses and special events... fed up of getting disqualified for someone else driving in to the side or back of me!

Personally I'd try and keep the FNSH unless I was planning on keeping the car until it's dead. I reckon you'd have a tough time explaining who Abbey MS are to 80% of people who would be looking to buy a 350Z so you'd limit your target audience more... but that's just me.

Didn't your trip computer tell you it was icy?? Mine was telling me my garage was icy the other day when I turned the car on for a little while to charge up the battery!

Kudos? Just like I should get for using the search function! viewtopic.php?f=129&t=33735

I phoned Admiral about two months ago to ask how much decats, y-pipe with racing cat and uprev would cost, the quotes me £50 for the exhaust insurance but wouldn't even touch the the uprev... so not that good for mods for me, although I have 0 years NCB as I haven't owned my own car in a while. I had an accident somewhere around 1999 while insured with Admiral and the car was a write off (note to self: never try and avoid foxes!), after being offered an initial fairly low value for the car (as expected) I compared my car to the current value of cars on autotrader and they were happy to pay the like for like price.

Most fun I've had so far is in the Buick Special '62, 560bhp of typical American "what the hell's a corner?" attitude in a 60's pimp mobile! Sounds like it has straight cut gears as well... I haven't even tried to tune it but dread to think what it's like if you do.

If I could get something like that which folded up so I could put it in a cupboard I'd buy 1 tomorrow!

BTW, has anyone found the 350Z Roadster? I could have sworn it was in the car list that was announced but it's not in the Nissan dealership.

I'm very impressed with the 350Z on GT5, once fully tuned you can unlock the Veyron with it!! I reckon that mean it pays for itself! Here's some photo's from the game, me winning a race in the "Veyron" championship (avoiding spoilers): I don't think those proper race cars liked being beaten by a 350Z, zoomed in the Z looks like someone's melted the front bumper and the rears just as bad - I wish the AI would try and overtake instead of driving straight in to your car: And a photo from my test drive before buying:

The only problems I've had with my '07 Roadster are Bose skipping (once when it was very cold and went away within seconds) and a 1/2 flat battery due to not driving enough... only had it since July and done 700 miles though...

Only 1 marcos and no TVR Sag... how crap is that list?? Just joking, 1031 cars is enough I reckon, although there's probably 900 crap cars I really couldn't be bothered with. I just hope there isn't a trophy to own every car!

I believe it's the 07+ HR engines that make no difference, well, it's a 1 piece plenum on the HRs so you can't even fit 1.

Ahhh but have you been given the all clear to jump start and wash your own car? Just joshing! That's great news!

"As you lie there naked Like a body in a tomb Suspended animation As I slip into your room, I'm your Night Prowler" Not exactly my favourite lyrics but it could lead to some creative photos...

So you take a Lexus LS400, a car designed for it's finesse and advertised as the ultimate quiet car from the inside... and you do that to it... is this some kind of modern art irony thing??
