Because they put it on and *think* they are racing for olympic gold and PBs on public roads. Even more ridiculous are the ones that shave their legs. Its their choice, doesn't mean it isn't a daft one made for all the wrong reasons. Like I said previously, go live in Europe and see what they wear there and how they cycle....

My money is on the sex tape

Lycra is great for pro cyclists going against world best in a velodrome, it serves no purpose on the road. It does not 'absorb moisture' any better than a standard pair of shorts and sports t-shirt despite what all the marketing says to you. Utterly pointless on the road for 99% of users. FACT

Bought not brought - how can such a large proportion of the human race not know the difference

Only problem with this is that you WILL want to buy one, but living with it every day for months on end is a different experience.

I went from 350z to VX220 (effectively an S2 but a few extra bits and pieces) and for driving a couple of times a week it was great. Used it to drive to footy on weds evenings and then blasting around on weekends. In terms of sheer raw driving excitement clearly it blows away the Zed BUT it is clearly not as practical. You are sitting literally inches from the floor, you have to clear a wide sill to get in and out. The boot on my VX could hold 2 small suitcases so wasnt as bad as people say. Height wise I am around the 5'11'' mark and had no problems in terms of head room. On the VX the roof is of the type that rolls off, some of the older S2s I think still have the fishtail style roofs which makes the little cheat of rolling back the roof a bit to get your head in redundant. Stunning cars handling wise and very hard acceleration (0-60 5.5 secs ish) - like I said an awesome raw driving experience, like going out on a track day everytime you drive it down the road. But in terms of using every day, not really.

I had C5UPE on mine - most people thought it was a brand new car

Its not a Zed, looks like Alfa headlights or something... ...what are we doing, cross checking cartoons to see if we spotted a Zed!

The first video has been taken down the second one is inconclusive - cars were passing him by then he jumps out into the middle of the track and gets hit. Stewart may well have swerved and if he did he should be up in court, but they guy should not be stood in the middle of a dirt track waving fingers at cars passing by thats just crazy. Shame for all involved, worst thing is that it was completely avoidable.

And you don't live or work in the area.... Richmond is a car park now, they shut off the road right up the roundabout joining up with Kew - thing is there has been no notice to anyone who hasn't looked for it online, no signs up in advance, nothing. Cars are only finding the closed road when they arrive at the cones and two blokes shaking their heads and pointing back the way they came - it really is quite possibly the worst idea and worst organisation I have seen in some time - I think local business can completely write off any chance of making some money this weekend!

Holy lordy lord, thats some rain!!!!

Try living on the south coast, its chaos every weekend in the summer, has taken me 35 mins to drive 4 miles, everyone wants to go to the beach And if they closed half the roads for the weekend that most people use to get to the beach... Nice little snippet from a weather forecast for tomorrow "Given the unseasonable nature of the weather this could be sufficient to disrupt transport and make outdoor activities dangerous."

Unless you live here you won't really get it, and I don't expect people to. Mind you having walked around today looks like most people have taken it as a cue to clear off for the weekend its unusually quiet out. Notice or not it is still utterly ridiculous to close all the bridges they have. But yeah probably being a bit miserable but it is a bloody stupid idea still!

Just get em to do 20 laps of Richmond park, that will clock up their 100 miles no problem without ruining the day for everyone else trying to do something in west London tomorrow.

There is a thread on here about 'your dream car was a 350z?' might be worth you getting on it and lending some weight to the Yes argument Welcome and enjoy

Ironically it is a pain in the backside, we have to run some stuff over to my parents on sunday, usually a 45 min jaunt through quiet morning london, this time a 2 hour run aournd the M25, I wonder if the cyclists wouldn't mind paint for my extra fuel costs? Its such a stupid idea, but I am sure people can't really grasp how much chaos it will cause unless it goes through the roads they know so well (Sheen Lane takes about 10000 cars a day, I wonder where they will all go?)

But the difference is mate is that they are closing nearly 100 miles of roads for a whole weekend in the middle of school summer holidays, that is not sensible. At least something like Monaco is only a 3 mile road circuit - they do not close off half the artery routes of London and Surrey Like I said, organisers need shooting, its a ridiculous idea.

Yes I would! I need to drive my car out of my road!

This is literally passing by us about 250 yards away, we are quite lucky that A we can still park on our road (loads of other roads nearby if you leave your vehicle outside your house in a parking bay you pay for you will be towed) also there are loads of roads that are literally cut off because they are closing the main roads all day Sunday so cars are stuck in the roads with no exit. Whoever thought up this joke of an event needs taking outside and shooting. Utter muppets.

Go drive one...

She knew, she just got caught Same happened to my Skyline a month ago, neighbour hit it drove off when I confronted them they admitted it saying they didnt realise!

I was wondering if in a temp company car park it would be a job of simply checking it out until you find the culprit! Good luck! Got more of the details on the above as well from my neighbour. Turns out this guy hit no less than 5 cars on the way up the hill on our road and failed to stop at all until he got stuck at the bend at the top. Police arrived thanks to some builders who witnessed it and called it in. The police brought the driver down and was speaking with my neighbour and the drivers attitude was 'well your insurance can sort it no hassle to you' to which he got a torrent back along the lines of 'well who spends hours on the phone to the insurance companies sorting it out, who has to fill out the paperwork, who has to sort out all my kids stuff from the car into some probably inadequate car such as child seats/bags etc, who has to speak to the repair company and sort out delivery and pick up times and be probably out of my office whilst this happens...and so on and so forth' - the police said 'would you like to take this further Sir' and my neighbour said jokingly 'yeah I want the **** deported' and the police said thats a possibility! So he said it was a joke and of course he is not going to ruin this guys life over a car. Oh the drama!

Aye, get a quote for fitting and spraying, then add 50% for making them fit properly
