The G Man

Looking to go back to around The Gorge du Verdun area or closer to the coast possibly, in the first fortnight in August. Mrs wants to go on a cruise, but I've nearly convinced her that, like uncle Albert from Only Fools, our ship is liable to sink I would move there in a minute, if funds allowed I usually get my way

Might see you there

Was up Stelvio last June, it was only just clear of snow!! There's a web cam on the net somewhere for Stelvio, might be worth checking it out first

show off No se puede todo el mundo hablan español? Google es tu amigo!

Beautiful conditions for a wash, claybar and wax today Did the same on my black beastie, no piccies though Also dressed the tyres, what a lot of sh1t came off her at the claybar stage Doing the inside tomorrow Then off to Skye on Saturday

Hola, buen coche que su compañero, en paradero en España es usted? Yo estaba en Lekeitio. Ainsa y Barcelona el año pasado. El amor las carreteras españolas, mi lugar favorito era Santiago de Compestella. Espero volver pronto

1. Jay 2. Irfan 3. Craig 4. Neilp 5. The G Man Irfan, you can keep company with us mate, forget the marmalade blob I'll be there, unless I'm very drunk or in jail or both

Gonna need two clear days to sort mine of winter grime (poet as well ), just a note on the two bucket thing, I read on here somewher and it's a good tip, just use your hose to rinse out the washmitt before re-dipping in the bucket I still use two buckets, but full of soapy stuff, give it a double wash

My bad, missed that, twice!! It simply won't be made then much prefer the Toyota FT86 http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=Toyota ... 63&bih=538 If it ever gets made

You tend to get fewer miles with mods, this is because you want to hear or feel the "better" performance more often and probably drive a bit harder. First opportunity I get, I'm having the Uprev done at Abbey, this should calm my consumption down a bit, but that Akrapovic is just too damned addictive

Ha! My Mrs will be pleased at this. I've got a Patterdale Terrier, nearly three, she is a great little dog in many ways but the problem I've got is her powers of recall are bordering on insulence. She can be fine off the lead, away from roads, most of the time, but as soon as she gets a scent, pesky wabbit or similar, she's off!!! Need some sort of Indian Rope trick type thing to quell this. She also likes to attack the letter box if our living room door is not closed, when the postman delivers mail, she doesn't rip the mail up, just grabs it and pulls it through the box, luckily the postie knows her and is fine with it. It's fun when it's some sort of leaflet dropper, and I erm encourage her , to deter future leafleteers!! No human or dog or human with a dog is allowed to pass our front window without a response, this can range from a subtle growl, to a full on "this window will not stop me" type assault. Apart from all that, she's a very loving animal, anyone can approach her and anyone can take anything off her. Any tips or help would be greatly received

Hundreds of these in Limassol, all used as taxis Had both a an Escort Mk1 1.1 pop plus or something like that (probably worth more than the 370now ) and a Manta GTE, now if we like retro, what about a Fiat SuperMirafiori?

As with all military men and women, past and present, we share your grief. Your friend was an inspiration to us all, just because he was where his country had told him to go, no questions asked just duty performed. I am greatly saddened by this and all deaths to befall our military, may his God comfort him and his family.

Not for me either, not aggresive enough and should be rear or 4WD. Styling as always is cool but soft IMO.

MX5, can do lots to them and they are light and manouverable. Then you can either drive them to the track and home or trailer them back and forth.

Agree with crumbMC to an extent, but our motorways are absolutety diabolic!! The surfaces are crap, there's not enough of them and there's too many urban on/off ramps, too many trucks (should be limited to inside lane only!) and too many "drones"/jam cars! Anyway, a year past in June drove from Montreaux to Koln, Autobhan all the way, it was sh1t, 9hrs of M25 type traffic, poor lane discipline (standards are slipping in Germany) and only two lanes for about 98% of the journey. The best and fastest motorways in Europe are now France's, with Spain a close second, there's a lot to be said for toll roads, although the South of France on the Cote d' Azure is pretty busy and the Costa's motorways are much the same. The EU subsidies that both these countries have theived over the past 20 years has been put to good use and puts this country firmly in the third world when it comes to any type of road.

Jay's the one to talk to on wraps, his was a bit cheaper due to his car being used for promo/advertising, but he reckons £1600 for the whole car

http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg20 ... 77e64d.mp4 Not a very good one as I had just started her up, so no full beans

Here's a not very good video of idle and a bit of a rev, only just fired her up so couldn't give it the full beans http://s249.photobucket.com/albums/gg20 ... 77e64d.mp4

Good spot, it does familiarise the Aston but saying that would you not prefer a 'cheap' Aston Matin? Going on looking at the 350z being one of the cheapest cars to buy at its level it is also similar in shape to a Porsche. All good things Yeah, not saying it's a bad thing, but it's pure motoring press conjecture

if only, a blatant photoshop, looks a little bit too much Aston/Jag

Rachael Can't comment on the 350, but if it's anywhere near a 370 then it's an awesome car. loads of grunt and torque, something I was sadly missing in my old RX8 I'm just starting to get to grips with my car and it is mindbogglingly fast and sounds the business

Beautiful car there Nicely done

I'm not after one jay, but it was a ball park figure. OPG were doing a R8 in matt black last I saw of them Wouldn't dream of a wrap on my RARE ebisu Prices are all relative, you may find one or two kicking about cheaply, who cares, that's still a bargain Can't put a price on exclusivity Only seen two other 370s up here and on my many travels to the Heathen South, and one of them was on a low loader on delivery day

You Well you did get a cheap one, ok how much then I'll call OPG tomoz and ask for a quote
