    Soft Top issue

    what he says..... the only way you will get the roof down on a nice cold sunny winters day is to either park in the sun to warm the roof or drive with the heaters on full to warm the roof up before you try and put it down. the roof material is quite a heavy one and becomes quite stiff when cold. if it does it again just put the roof back up and dont keep trying as you can cause problems trying to force it!
  2. no.. you have the architects to thank for that. i am structural so do the drawings for what actually makes it stand up and work rather than make it look pretty.. lol
  3. Just dropped the peg on google maps WOW! .... its an awesome shape... bet it sounds great! i did a lot of the drawings for the construction of the hindhead tunnel.... currently working on a 7.5 mile long 7m dia. tunnel! wont be able to drive through it though :-( mind you when its in use you wouldnt want to either!!!!! lol (super sewer!!)
  4. "accept bad luck take the £300 and move on" this..... i would never have spent the 1k on a £300 runner in the first place... there is little point in buying the car back and dropping another 1k on it... i guess he could TRY sending all the reciepts for the recent work to the insurance company to see if they will pay him out on it but i doubt it will happen
  5. for pictures google is your friend... just search '370z 20s' and you get loads of pictures
  6. thats a CHEAP set of 19s... couple of hundred on a full refurb to any colour of your choice and they are still super cheap... good luck with the sale
  7. you have it all wrong.... there is no better way to spend your money and get fulfilment..... i quote the late great George Best "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered"

    ticks a lot of boxes (ok its not 'sporty' but it isnt exactly slow!) http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201311169955664/sort/pricedesc/usedcars/price-to/6500/postcode/rh12hz/page/1/engine-size-cars/5lplus/fuel-type/petrol/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/radius/1500/make/mercedes-benz/keywords/amg?logcode=p
  10. hey if you like it then go for it but i think it makes an already heavy rear end look even heavier.... i agree it needs a spoiler but a much more subtle one suits the lines of the roadster in my opinion....
  11. Happy birthday! we all put our hands in our pockets and bought you a set of tyres for the Porsche....
