Its Feb 1st, not April 1st!

They don't have a leg to stand on - the fact that they are withholding money that is rightly yours, well that is now moving into 'breaking the law' territory as you have a written contract to the value of your 350z.

Oh my god, Silver Linings Playbook - so predictable I really hated it haha - I had erased that experience from my memory I am actually liking the new Star Trek films, I know they upset long time trekkies but they are great value entertainment!

Rush was brilliant. Watched Elysium, average at best. Was so excited to watch Worlds End, and so disappointed.

Good work, although, not a fan of the white engine cover

Excellent, such a lovely looking car, glad it didn't go cheap to a stealer...

Were following you in the 'also in Silver' Ford Focus

I have to say, laughed out loud at that! Genius.

Megs is fine, I used it, Wasso really rated Autoglym. But yes its the quick detailer spray that you use with the clay bar in general and comes in most kits. With Megs and Autoglym you can buy off the shelf, the others you will need to order, as long as you dont mind waiting.

As above, but would recommend you use a detox shampoo to wash, as this will remove any of the temporary wax and stuff hanging around on the car.

Do you still have the stock exhaust on? Normally people replace that (or at least the Y Pipe) as its restrictive and will reduce the amount of BHP the map frees up.

With lots of mods you should get 15bhp peak, but you should see alot more than that 'under the graph line' which will make the drive so much better.

Not really: Remind me when the Golden Globes are again? Model years are increasingly turning to the US way of doing things, so a MY14 car would actually have been released in 2013. No surprises to see things going that way as a rule. Also, there's a certain amount of journalistic publicity to be had from getting their first with their COTY award, so don't forget that. Although perhaps I'm giving What Car? too much credit with regards to 'journalism' and 'knowing what the f*** they're talking about'. I get the whole MY14 thing, but the title 'Car of 2014' cannot be given out before December - what happens if it suddenly has a huge recall due to engine failures and the like halfway through.

It is unfortunate that cyclists in general are getting a bad name, the guy in the video kind of sums up most peoples stereotypes of a modern cyclist.... I get the taxation bit I think most are talking about some kind of insurance not just for other road users but for pedestrians who are using crossings and get hit... I did see a good one the other day, a cyclist ean a red light, unlucky for him a copper on a bike was the other side of the junction, doubt he got anything more than a telling off but still... Sent from the golf club... This is the problem, and why cyclists continue to flout the laws, because there is no repercussions. Usually they get 'told off' upon which they cycle off laughing and cycle through the next red light they come to. Stick some coppers at problem areas for jumping lights etc (and they know where they are), stop them the other side, confiscate the bikes, give them a free travel pass for the day to carry on the journey and charge them £60 to get their bike back.

I agree though its daft to have car of the year 2014 awarded in January - it would be like naming footballer of the 2013/2014 season in September 2013!

What they don't seem to realise is that banging on people windows or car bodywork and throwing insults is generally going to generate a reaction - sometimes a violent one. Imagine being cut up by a cyclist so at the next set of lights the driver grabs his bike and gives it a decent shoeing whilst calling the guy a load of names...what would happen? That video infuriates me, as the cyclist went looking for a fight and got one and clearly was a gutless mouthy hothead who bottled it when someone retaliated. If anything it shows the cyclist as being in just as bad a light as the driver who committed assault and is hardly supporting the cycling cause!

Do it yourself - all they will do is give the wheels a quick clean and spray it on, it doesn't require much in the way of creative talent to apply. As the others said, on You Tube and from a distance it looks ok but up close you can tell its just rubberised paint with plenty of imperfections. It will no doubt also start to fail with the impact of stones, dust, heat etc. A full refurb and spray will cost you approx £200 and give a much better quality finish.

I am bemused by the whole lycra thing, 99% of cyclists can barely get over 15mph, so why all this aerodynamic lycra nonsense. Ok if its more comfortable fair enough, but put something over the top, its not a pretty sight.

Apparently its back up online - that'll be a £38 charge I will be sending in a letter to Lloyds for 'admin' costs to me this afternoon.

Maybe chance my arm with an IOU with them!

Sure it will be fine soon enough!

Card wouldnt work from about 3pm onwards, starting to appear in the news, thats my trip to the pub ruined!

The Audi driver was a tit for pulling into the cycle area, and the cyclists to be fair was very calm with him. He tore off and the cyclist went after him looking for a confrontation, and he got it. Audi driver should be done for assault but the cyclist did go looking for it thinking he was some sort of tough guy and got found out in a big way. Mind you those cycle areas are a bloody ridiculous idea in any case, all that happens is when the lights go green you have a dozen slow moving bikes clogging up the road, why they cant queue on the left like everyone else I don't know.

Just get him to send you the dyno print out...I know I would be sending it to all and sundry if it made 350bhp

It shouldnt be double. You might get lucky with some of these price comparison sites where the stars align and you get a decent quote, but do the right thing and ring around the insurance traders on here along with A-Plan who are brilliant for quote beating on jap sports cars. The algorithms that insurance companies use are a complete joke anyway, written by a GCSE maths student from what I can see, so ring around and save yourself a lot of money.
