  1. Made the mistake the first time it came to changing tyres of having FK452's on one axle and the new FK453's on the other...even that felt like one took its time to catch grip to the other axle... Ekonas advice noted...ordered another set of 453's lol All 4, all same...all round

    I give you....

    If I had to pick an angle its best is directly from the back of it, looks ok there. I have to say its got a bit of the new Ford GT syndrome (and I don't mean some of its placed air vents) in terms of fussy unattractive design, but hey probably more wind tunnel designed. I think they should go back a bit to... just design to make cars truly pretty again... as someone said...where'd you go then.... were gonna run out of power at some point. I wouldn't fancy kicking about in 2000bhp on a day to day basis lol

    The Ferrari 458 replacement that they couldn't decide how to improve its look so just made a mess of the bumpers and added extra air holeyness... I wasn't a fan of the 458 but even so this ones just a bit of a design muck up I think. Its like they just didn't know how to improve the styling (yes I know a good bit will be designed for speed but still...). Opinions? http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2015/2/3/This-Is-The-New-Ferrari-488-GTB-660-HP-Of-Turbocharged-V8-Madness-7725225/
  4. I wonder who the Mk2 one was I saw at the M8 Shotts junction not so long ago. The new Nismos looking fantastic in the 'flesh'
  5. Not sure. Mines is a bit louder when its colder due to the higher revs for a min or so before it dies down...and it being cold lol... but ive never heard a Z's engine making that 'drumming' noise.
  6. Unless its your phone or whatever exhaust you have the engine shouldn't have that drumming sound, mines certainly doesn't do that and I haven't heard any other either. Does it go away after a while and is this something that has appeared. Could be just another cars characteristics but that drumming doesn't sound right to me...
  7. If its a temper its likely Tranquilbass, was it modded?
  8. Random thought and it could be rubbish. So nothing connects to the car just now, not my S4 mini, not my mates new Z3 Xperia. Only phones that seem to connect were my old Galaxy Ace and an iphone 5 of my gf's. Question -Is the black Bluetooth thing in the centre cubby replacable with another one that fits in and might work?? The thing that can be removed with the flashing triangle....which won't stay red!! ARRGH lol
  9. Spark plugs are 105K? That right?? I was gonna get mine done the next service at around 57K
  10. Cat D is just an MOT I think, a neighbours just got himself a big Jag for buttons and he repaired it himself...good as new. C would be a specific check for the cars condition. But I'd be asking for pic of the damage and any documents relating to the repair and costs ...eg. who did the repair!
  11. Although I had a glance at the same sort of year and mileage on autotrader and theres not that many to compare to that at the moment, it does seem a bit high? I'd be given them about 7K offer for it tbh. My HR in reality with its 55K miles 2008, 58' would only fetch about 9500 off a trade in that before they notice any stone chips etc lol
  12. Glad you've got it sorted you'll love the scorpion if that's what you got, close to standard but a bit fruitier without being boy racerish loud
  13. Yeah the Z's haven't heard of the phrase "gentle snow mode"... When all you want is a less aggressive throttle, you just touch it a cm or two and BOOM POWER POWER POWER lol. Meh, another month and we'll all be back in better weather action!.. hopefully lol
  14. AMT

    Ohhhh Yes...

    I'm not fussed over the 458, never have been. Mind you the Huracan isn't my cup of tea either (just like top gear said lol) and I can't work out why. Something in the looks isn't quite right? I've been next to one and theres just something weird about it, and I don't mean the usual Lambo styling awesomeness...its lacking something. Prob just me lol But yeah.... SV seems a bit early..surely the Aventadors got some years in it yet?
  15. Roads are clear here now and supposed to snow later but just light, hopefully won't settle. Tip for anyone buyin the autosocks, get some decent plastic bag or something to put them in while they sit in your car or it'll soak through your carpet. I had a heavy duty bag under it in the passenger footwell, had to empty...carefully...the dirty water puddle of melted snow/slush out the car at the end of work today lol. Yep there bad mate, I kept sliding towards the garage next to me where I park, you gotta watch that rear end even just manoeuvring lol Steady throttles, I seen plenty of people planting it today and getting in trouble lol
  16. AMT

    Ohhhh Yes...

    http://www.autoblog.com/2015/01/29/lamborghini-aventador-sv-super-veloce-undisguised-spy-shots/ Very nice! I thought this would come later though as were only into its 3rd year so what they gonna top there 'top' model with? lol I also hear the 458 is due to be replaced... It feels like it just came out not that long ago lol
  17. After much messing about ...gettin stuck...strugglin to get my Autosocks on....slowly drivin up the hill...stopping to take them off...then stuck in traffic....I MADE IT lol
  18. My town is just hills out and in ... why can't the world be flat and free from snow and ice, it does no good. I made snowmen when I was little, I'm done with it now ...go away snow lol
  19. lol!! Are you even in Scotland?? as this seems to be just us getting it! Or am I wrong and down south are getting a bit?
  20. :lol: I've got the trusty autosocks in the 'glove box' but putting them on and then taking them off before the motorway is a bit of a hassle(no place to park near the junction besides a bit of random pavement and its a 60 road.. HILL to get out my town lol)... I need to move!
