The G Man

^^ , will be later with a nice little red, then I can rant at the telly when Question Time is on, oh mid life bliss

I also reverted back to PAYG, Tesco do a nice little deal, they treble any credit you put on it, so every couple of months, bung £20 on it then this lasts for donkeys. Not one to make a call for the sake of it, or txt for that matter, but it is a cheap way to have a phone.

In saying all that, I was considering going back to a contract to get a new phone as my old N96 has just about had it, my three daughhters all have i phone 4's (?) and I fear that I'll have to wait too long to get one of their cast offs

Had an 8 until September, thought it time for some muscle, toyed with the R3 but Mazda missed a trick there by not updating enough and not adding a turbo or super charger

Oh well RX9 in 3 years then

Well done mbs, I've just went through the warranty/Euro Assistance booklet and, I am talking through MY erse Thanks for getting the clarification on this, good piece of info that I'll be discussing with the dealer where I bought.

Does anyone know then, whether the service info is collated centrally so's that if you require assistance, you don't have to argue that your car has been serviced recently.

Oh, one thing the assist booklet does state, if you are on a promotional offer N928, then you get three years cover

£12.6billion profit posted this week, so they must be doing alright

It's endemic of phone companies in particular and all service companies in general, but it's not all the staff's fault, at grassroots level anyway.

Lovely example there Welcome to this club, by your user name, I take it you have or have had a bad boy Rotary

First off, this site has been a revelation in as much as there isn't a lot of locking/banning/mis matched merging of posts, much less than other clubs/forums I've been a member of, so well done.

What I find hard to accept is a moderator/admin/committee member locking a topic and then a moderator/admin/committee memberS continuing to post on it. The said topic, viewtopic.php?f=70&t=42912&start=15, was locked, as far as I can make out, because a similar thread was already started on the topic content.

My personal opinion is that once a topic is locked, it stays locked, unless it is reopened to all members after, say, a clarification on a technical/legal/over abusive poster is resolved, not for further chit chat by those that have a moderator/admin/committee panel.

Bad form, my opinion and posted here as feedback.

Think you find it is only one year unless things have changed since the 2009 models and Nissan have not updated their website:

Sorry

 

But I got a free year extra with my first service

I'll re-read the warranty book tomorrow, but you may find that things have changed since 2009, even early 2010 (premium connect springs to mind, although that was a spec change, it was a pretty mahoosive one, also the 0% deal etc etc), they change the deal every three months.

When I initially read the booklet I wasn't too surprised that I may have found this, mazda did the Assist for the three years of warranty and continued it for free if extended warranty was taken, or £10 per year if not.

Erm...., the dealer may be talking out his erse, or I've read the warranty wrong, therefore I'm talking out mine , but as I read it, it's for the duration of the 3 year warranty. That's not to say that there'll not be some kind of "extended" warranty or, that this particular dealer may be offering a "lifetime" warranty as some sort of incentive.

But Nissans is 3yrs cover

Pretty similar to how my young cousins looks

Looks like the same sort of set up too

As Vicky says, ours almost ended up looking like that

Tht's two mighty fine looking cars there sir

I test drove the auto box coupe, it is ultra smooth and idiot proof, believe me I would need it to be, but in the end plumped for the manual Coupe GT. I wasn't sure of the white but the more I see of them (photo's only, as they're as rare as hens teeth at the mo ), the more I like them

haha couldnt shake me thru the twisties eh gman

You showed some exceptional skill there Wrighty but nothing to proud of, scaring an old man like that

Next time young sir, you'll be in front

And BTW, I was first in the queue to see your ASS , just that Paulie and Juels barged their way to the front

Great pics, Linda reminded me when I got in that I'd forgotten my camera

Good end of the "season" meet, now where's my lambswool mitts

Great day and a great photo there Vicky I've always found a "back door" way when needed

Thanks to Wrighty, Pauline, Vicky, Dougie and their respective codrivers/navigators, just me n Vicky on our own

The toilet invasion in Aberfeldy was hilarious

That was a perfect day today for driving, although the early stages when we came across some shaded glens were, to say the least a bit "skittish" but as the day wore on it got a lot better

Hope you all got home safe, Linda and Dougie got back to Seil at 6:15, I got in, via Asda (3 for a tenner deal) around 6:20.

Thanks again all for turning up, as with all these events it's the members that make it

Exclusivity guaranteed

No probs Vicky, you've got my number It's gonna be greeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaattttttttt, so man flu or not, man up and get along

See you all at Stirling services, see you at Aberfeldy Vicky

G

Yes, I wouldn't think that this was the point, just don't agree that it's "attractive" not a fan though of CF as I said but it may look better than the photo's depict.

White fangs? Confused now, not hard as I am old and wine addled

Can't agree with that^^, not a fan of CF, where's the weight saving there? Does that fit over the top of what's there already? If so, weight adding

Am I missing the point? Each to their own though

TT is miles ahead of the 370 in terms of NVH, sorry.

subjective, but what's not is it's a bore of a car.

AK350Z, you're not totally alone

"So you really aren't qualified to comment on the noise. Well, neither am I as I've never driven a 370!"

So, well dug. Not being one to moan, but your own comment suggests that you really can't comment on whether the OP in this thread is whingeing or not.

I too came from a relatively fastish car, a RX8, and my good lady has a Leon FR, now the 8 really did lack "low down" grunt (Stelvio Pass convinced me to get more "muscle"), the FR has loads of "low down" "grunt", and the 8, well the set up I had could probably out corner the 370, but couldn't put the power down on exit, whereas the 370 can and it's probably down to my "lacking" in knowing the 370 that makes me say that, for the moment.

The noise issue isn't there! Trust me, as I HAVE driven a 370, on various long motorway jaunts of 250+miles or so, not too dissimilar to anything I have driven, not high end saloon quiet, granted, but would you want that?, I for one don't, not in a sports car.

If you compare the "competition" and, I have, the TT and Z4 are just as noisy. The engine "growl" is, I admit, a tad disappointing, but nothing that an exhaust/intake mod won't sort for a better sound.

Good car, good price and well spec'd. Not biased, just honest

If that's the correct term for a Blue 350 I was in Mrs Leon FR, how gridlocked was Hamilton today

Updated Route

This is the route for Sunday, just a wee difference from the one ^^^up there Biggest difference is that it's slightly in reverse, hopefully this doesn't cause too much concern

Lunch stop will be The House Of Bruar and, hopefully the gates to here will be open for a photo shoot/happy snaps, if the gates are closed, then just in front of them is quite photogenic as well , although I know how to get in by the erm, backdoor

Got one of my friends in his RX-8 tipping up as well, I've said that we'll wait for him to catch up at various points on the route

Apparantly the public loos at Kenmore are worth a look , so I'm told

Look forward to seeing you all, Mange Tout, Rodney, Mange Tout

Yup, it's a beuaty, you won't however, be dissapointed in the 370 Now get along to the mini hoon on Sunday for one last blast

The weather is to be GORGEOUS, so git yur name doon, perfect tonic to the last few days of pishin' rain

Nice looking car,
