  1. The VQ engine was used in the Navara pick up too so id imagine they'll tune it to be a little more exciting. Hopefully anyways!
  2. A used MY18 Zed will be worth more than other used zeds as the annual tax is significantly cheaper... We know how many people make it a deal breaker on DE's with the lower power, cheaper interior & lights so it may better to buy a brand new one than a two year old one when you come to sell on.
  3. It does say the normal version will be 2WD, I don't see why they would make the Nismo AWD as it'll just be like a mini GTR?
  4. I always used to take my 350 to Westway Aldershot as it's local to me... They seem to be pretty good, they always have several Nimso 370s and GTRs on the forecourt so assume they can service them adequately. Never had any problems with mine and the prices weren't too bad considering its a main dealer.
  5. This! Also the particulates in diesel exhausts are carcinogenic and can cause cancer so its good get rid from the main bulk of cars. I have no issues with buses and lorries as long as their filters are maintained. I'm glad the government are making diesel exhaust emissions more stringent on MOTS from May
  6. I don't understand what the benefit of trying to cover up the shape of the world would be?? Obviously its round, I can face time my Aunt & Uncle in Australia where its light and summer whilst its dark and winter here. Or have the Illuminati used mind control on them too? I'm sure that governments and companies lie and cover things up all the time but FE makes no sense to me one bit.
  7. That must suck, when i was younger i used to eat apples every day but now cannot eat them as they make my gums and lips hurt. The same with peaches and cherries. I also now suffer from hay fever in adulthood which i never had as a kid... No idea why it started, maybe i just never noticed it when i was younger?
  8. Mine never matched either, you'll just have to live it I'm afraid. Looks fine from some angles but totally different from others.
  9. Sounds like you have already made up your mind, i was in a similar boat as you but I had already bought my house... The running costs are affordable but there's so much else you can spend that money on. I sold my zed and now drive around in my wife's Fiat 500; its a POS but its essentially free in tax/insurance fuel terms. Now I'm saving up for another fast car but tempted to buy a bigger house first with a garage then get a Caterham or atom if the funds allow it. It sounds like you have already made up your mind, maybe you should sell your zed and see where you are next year. You can always buy another?

    That looks deliberate to me... There's no way you could dent a car that bad by casually opening your door, really winds me up that some people do that to other peoples stuff.
  11. I think it looks amazing personally! Would take it over anything else at that price point... Shame i don't have the money
  12. I get that it can fun to have maximum torque at 0 rpm and is very quick. However i thought the zed was quicker than you can enjoy legally 90% of the time. I think the main thing is that most of us are petrol heads and if we all had the money to buy a Tesla there are probably 100 petrol cars in the budget before we would consider an electric car.
  13. Great pic! Not many charging points nearby for a Tesla either by the looks of it too.
  14. Started playing GT Sport on the PS4, very solid game but the car choice is unusually thin for a GT game this time (No Z's either). I guess they will plan to charge everyone for DLC cars as most games do these days?
  15. Saw this yesterday, the teacher shouldn't have sat on the car but then hes only trying to stop the driver coming into the school gates which is probably for the best as they almost hit those two kids on bikes... Think 10 months inside is a little harsh but what do you expect if you use your car as a weapon while uninsured.
  16. You should not try and compare science to religion... Religion tells you what to think as it is written. Science tells you to question everything and find proof through observable evidence. No scientist will be able to say that God does not exist, its just the likely hood of it being as written in the bible or religious text of your choice is slim to nothing. But luckily we live in a free country and can choose to believe in what we want so just have fun and don't worry too much about the apocalypse.
  17. Alonso should buy one so he could be more competitive for the rest of the year
  18. I would get the Ultima because it'll be the most fun when it works Any of the others could be used as a daily driver which either appeals or doesn't to you as a second car. Second choice for me would be the BMW as i prefer RWD
  19. I still miss mine. My missus was laughing at me the other day because i wound the window down just to hear one come by on the opposite side of the road. Probably wont buy another one unless 370 Nismo's drop a lot of value but i cant see that happening anytime soon if at all.
  20. Just out of interest why didn't they pay you all the money agreed on the bike and you clear the finance yourself?
  21. It is a lovely car. The factory Nismo kit and tasteful desirable mods will add a bit of value but I'm not sure its worth 13800? Is it not worth selling the wheels and exhaust separately? Good luck with the sale though
  22. Not a drift school but i did the AMG experience at Mercedes Benz world. They have a dry straight, wet straight, skid pan, and two circuits. It was fairly expensive but good value for me, i drove an E63 AMG worth north of 50k for a full hour in the car and they really urge you to push on and get the most from the car. Not like a red letter day where you only get 3 laps and cant push. Good mix of circuit driving and drifting / handling on the skid pan. Cost me 200 quid on a special deal but not so bad when you consider the value of the car, fuel and tyre wear etc.
