The G Man

Shocking disgrace Go get them Vicky

The one in the petrol station looks good

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

Sorry Saffy

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

Congrats Very romantic, nice place to be snowed in

Sorry for the thread hijack Vicky

eeeek not good missy...... I am heading up to Torridon later this month....... dreading the drive

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

3) Get more admiring looks in the 8 than the Z

 

 

but the Z isn't a conversation starter, the 8 is, but mostly because of the rear doors.

 

 

 

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

1) Same as 370

2) 1L per 3K, average diesal 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.

 

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

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.

no offence but no thanks

Why?

Yup Mazda.

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

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.

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

He is a P**ck,he had a great chance of being F1 champ (prob only chance) but he plays about on a bike twice!!

 

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

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

The later versions with Premium Connect have a hard drive, single CD, USB etc, the early ones had 6 CD changers.

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

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
