IF.. and its a big IF... i were to forget the fact that the 350z is a toy and as a toy we (my wife and i) want a soft top the M5 V10 would already be on the drive.... looking at replacing the 350 in the next year or so and the lsit of replacement options is pretty small!!!! 5.0 XKR and 4.0 M3 are on the list... and thats about it!

love the look of the Jag Sportbrake

i have looked and cant find a 1 year old VXR8 within budget?

it even has a similar look to GUNS

a VERY quick search on Autotrader pulls up a white C63 AMG for £32,500

some of the best actual 'driving' roads i have been down have been the minor passes between the well known ones.... the sights on the well known ones are great but the actual driving is very hard work when its hairpin after hairpin.

you will love it! took this shot on highway 1 heading south from San Fran

San bernardino pass, Swiss alps

route 500 black forest germany

ok so i have driven...... 5. Highway 1, California, approx 10 miles North of Fort Bragg, right near Seaside Beach (Corvette) 9. Pacific Coast Highway, California, USA (Corvette and Porsche 911) 13. Stelvio Pass, Eastern Alps, Italy. (350z) 19. Millau Viaduct, France (ZX12r) 48. Col de Turini, France (350z) 53. Furka Pass, Switzerland (350z) 64. Passo dello Spluga, Switzerland (350z) 66. Silvretta High Alpine Road, Austria (350z) am in the process of sorting maps and routes that will at some point take in 47. Amalfi Coast, Italy via North eastern Italy, down the croatian coast road then over to italy by ferry accross to the Amalfi coast and back up through Italy... prob next years road trip there are a few more that you could add to that list.......................................

Isn't that the lesser known "NopeImNeverGoingNearThere Fish?" thats a Goliath Tigerfish.... one fish i will NEVER fish for and not because of the fish or its teeth but because of the very dodgy place you have to go fish for them.... the Congo River basin

not quite! someone jumps in with a net (or a cage in the case of the Arapaima) and nets the fish for you then they unhook it in the water and you jump in for the pictures then the fish gets treated for any sores or marks before they get rested and released to grow bigger!

if it can be fixed then fix it and sell as is.... the cost of the new boiler prob wont be reflected in the sale price

it was for the fishes well being. they dont want to lift the fish out of the water for anything other than a quick picture and as you can see with the Arapaima they dont even do that. they are all treated with an antiseptic on any injuries or sores or bite marks (yes they bite!) before they are released

check out the teeth on the Pacu (related to the Piranha)

feel free to take the proverbial mate... the shrimp were TINY! but they really packed a punch! lol

to be fair Will they tend to swim away from you when you get in the water.... some of those fish were caught caught not much further away from where we are standing to take the pictures but the worst bites we got were from the fresh water shrimp that are in the lake! like getting an electric shock when they latch on and nip at you

Cat (fish)

So.... my 40th Birthday was upon me and my wife decided that i should have a fishing trip to remember for my big 40 so with that in mind i booked a trip to Thailand and had a ball while we were out there! didnt just do the fishing but here are just a few pics of some of the fish caught... 25lb Black Pacu 55lb Amazon Redtail Catfish 80lb Amazon Redtail Catfish 90lb plus Siamese Carp another Redtail 30lb Asian Redtail Catfish 150lb Arapaima caught on my 40th birthday
