  1. Eldest told this at work last year, her boss started phoning his local butcher to find out
  2. Quite sensitive It was all done in jest, with a small point about stereotypes Popularity? Is it The X Factor on here, do you have to be popular to have a view? Anyway my dog loves me Good discussion I couldn't care less what people who don't know me think of me, or what other cars people drive, as long as you enjoy the car, no matter what, that's all that matters Oh and I've been called a fat girl before
  3. Datsuns are fat girls cars Beemers are fat boys cars Golfs are fat Hemaphrodite cars Subaru's are fat throbbers cars S2K's are slim, but I'd prefer the fatty in the corner RX8's are slim, good looking people's car of choice, fact! Pass it on If a car is anything to do with the sex of an owner, that's my tuppence worth What are you all like, my daughters Cooper S (Turbo version) could wipe the lot of you out, with her driving Maybe it's the snow factor, but my fat Datsun is @*!# in the snow, which pisses me off a bit, after paying 32k for a drive ornament, sorry, random rant
  4. Congrats Very romantic, nice place to be snowed in Sorry for the thread hijack Vicky
  5. I was thinking of taking Mrs to Torridon House in January, don't know if that's a good idea, not in ma Z anyways
  6. So how is it i have been stopped a million times at petrol stations and been asked about the car? Or had people shout at me "nice car"? My experience, having owned BOTH cars, apart from a few guys at work, mostly asking how it compares to the 8, not one single comment from strangers. Since the OP has disregarded the R3, then nothing more needs to be said
  7. 3) I disagree with that, since I've had the Z it's had gord knows how many admiring looks, RX8's i've been in have never got so much as a glimmer. 4) The paint just doesn't look as nice as on the zed imo. One things for sure, the paint is just as thin as the 8 It's certainly not everyones cup of char, but the Z isn't a conversation starter, the 8 is, but mostly because of the rear doors. A R3 is reasonably inexpensive and half the cost to service. The 8 is a bit dated, but then the Merc and the older M3's are too. What about a Masarati Quatraporte Now that is a very cool car
  8. 1) Same as 370 2) 1L per 3K, average diesel uses more 3) Get more admiring looks in the 8 than the Z, if that's what coolness you're after, rear suicide doors, how cool are they?? 4) What?, red, grey, yellow, black, blue, white, green, copper? Not many colours left really. 5) Outperformed the M3 and 350 on Top Gears track! 6) You need to be informed when applying an opinion. But if you don't like it then, hey ho.
  9. A R3? Similar performance to the S2K, but 4 doors, 4 usable seats and a decent boot. The oil metering probs have been solved as well from the Mark 1. Also just as fast as the 350 on a track
  10. My old Rex came with 040's as standard, not very hard wearing and a ballache when cold or in the wet, when I changed to 050A's it was like driving on smooth double cream, with performance thrown in The 370 comes with 050A's as standard, and it's all I know at the minute. Suffice to say the 370 is a much noisier drive than the 8 on the same tyres, albeit 19" as opposed to 18". It may just be a "feature" of the Z.
  11. Awe, Roger and Jessica look like our Gizmo, who also sadly passed away 2 weeks ago Are they a Russian type rabbit? I think our Gizmo was
  12. so he's not allowed a life out side the races Tend to agree that he was a knob! This was, realistically, his last chance to win a F1 championship, supported him all season then, if this is right, he lets everyone down
  13. This is Ellie She can kick every pet on here;s butt, she's small but fearless, well up to a point, she doesn't like parachuting
  14. The later versions with Premium Connect have a hard drive, single CD, USB etc, the early ones had 6 CD changers.
  15. My Mrs work are putting them up in Hotels tonight So she tells me Seriously, I'm old, but today was the worst driving conditions I've ever seen, I couldn't even get in and that was using my daughters Cooper S Mrs in her FR, no probs this morning, just the traffic snarl ups this evening that beat it
  16. Last Wednesday, while there was more snow than you could shake a stick at, I was making my way to work, onto the M74, well actually drifted onto it, dicksplash in a white van was tooting at me, he had been up my hoop for around a mile before motorway, as I apparantly wasn't skidding into the arctics fast enough Wot a throbber Some maniacs out there, the offer of reciprical violence sometimes does the trick but can backfire unless you can back it up
