Congrats! same date as me, nearly a week in!!! we also had horses of the Jaleo type

Unfortunately Tabbs is no longer with us. after 23 years of companionship and having been around for most of my life (being 27) it's pretty rough that shes now gone. She got far too ill and her organs were failing and it just wasn't fair on her to keep her in that way. She got a mention in my wedding speech last week and will always miss her! Going to miss her licking my hair! (in a non weird way)! A pic from when she was healthier and in my old 350 tabbs

Amazing pics! Poor cars stood there not moving, I'll drive them all, right now! Wow

agree - not sure how much it would impact a z though if just one wheel hits it?

you lot think you regret selling it, I regret selling it since i sold it, that much I wish I could buy it back and have two!

+1 for Narcos If anyone has ever seen the Sopranos, I advise you watch Lilyhammer - great dark comedy.

yep but i'd be biased

Tried watching Peaky Blinders but got pretty bored halfway through episode 1 and turned it off Actually only just finished watching all 5 series of Breaking Bad (yeah I know, I was busy) If you like gangster type shows, Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos, The Wire etc, I would certainly recommend you stick with Peaky Blinders... If you're a fan of BBC type dramas like Luther, i'd recommend line of duty which is an awesome show, very similar to Luther. Breaking bad is an inresting one, I liked it but didn't think it lives up to the hype ...

just finished Stranger things too - absolutely loved it! +1 to watch it ... really struggling with TV shows now, any other good recommendations on netflix?

Mike - good to see it was resolved, I live down the road in Dorchester on Thames - let me know if there is anything I can ever do to help out... bought my MK1 Nismo from Oxford Nissan...

Never going to bother with a repair again, i'll just swap the screen out - on the basis I can find a company that is capable! at least they didn't put my window through! could of been worse I guess... but the attitude and attention to detail seems a very similar experience. Cheers Alex, A pillar it is then! if we're talking about the plastic thing in between the front and rear (all be it tiny) window. I have had the EXACT same experience with customer service, even if its getting a time and date booked in. Luckily I have been speaking with an adviser on Twitter who is leagues above the people you get on the phone. Let's see how I get on with the replacement parts... i'm tempted to get them to give me the parts and I'll fit them! I'll keep you all posted on progress.. or lack of it most likely Ah! I've never had a chip repair so I wasn't sure on the finish. Thanks for the advice in the 2nd para, I'll give them a couple more weeks to resolve the problems and see if they offer any compensation. If they fail to resolve and keep messing me around I'll look in to my options.

I felt the same way with my 350z - happy to say that I got the buzz back when I upgraded to the 370zN. My next car will be something different from the Z family, however doubt i'll be going German.

Hi All, I thought i'd share the recent drastic events of having my windscreen replaced by a very well known company, that no doubt many of you use... It all started with a small chip in my windscreen, as I like to keep the car as close to 100% I wanted to get it repaired or replaced. Went through the usual motions, arranging for a worker to come out, which after multiple weeks of trying to get this sorted, they finally showed up. As they took the resin machine to my windscreen to repair the tiny chip, a 10" crack appeared. The chap knocked on my door to tell me that he had cracked the windscreen and that I will now need to pay £75 for a new windscreen as opposed to the £15 excess for the repair... you can imagine my response.. As he called the head office, he openly admitted and didn't attempt to lie that he failed to warn me that trying to repair the windscreen can cause it to crack. After 15 minutes of going back and forth they agreed to waiver the fee and arrange for a replacement windscreen. 3 weeks later and the screen is due to be fitted, however it has been damaged in transport and therefore will be another 3 week wait for the replacement of the replacement. An additional 3 weeks passes an the two guys turn up to replace my windscreen. I'm pretty sure this isn't right, but I was getting alarmed when they removed my strut brace under the bonnet and put it on the block paved floor and I didn't see a torque wrench in site when they came to re-fit it... Anyway, 1 hour passed after seeing the guys be extremely careless throughout the whole process, they seemed to have got the windscreen in without any noticeable damage. . . too good to be true? YEP. I came to wash the car a week or so after and noticed they have snapped one of the clips behind the B pillar so it's loose. Back on the phone to company to complain and get a replacement. . . The worker arrives to replace the B pillar that has been snapped, only to have the wrong part - I didn't expect any less. Not only that, he advised me that I could just glue the current one onto the car? ... you can again, imagine my response. As he was there, I decided to look properly all over the car where they had been. Not only has my B pillar been broken, they have also snapped a clip holding the a frame under the bonnet, so that is loose, also they have scratched the paint (all be it in the gap between the front right fender and the bonnet, but you can see it through the gap in between the panels. My question to you guys is: 1. will the b pillars come from Nissan already painted in black or do they need to be sprayed 2. should I be raising this with the small claims court? I'm passed angry with them but just get let this one go... advice is welcome.

Been getting tattooed since I was 18, originally in downtown New York @ Invisible NYC - then as the tattooist moved to Portugal, and then now opened up his own shop in Amsterdam (Blue Blood Studios) which is far closer than NY to get too!. I have 2 3/4 sleeves, wouldn't go down to wrist as I like to have the options to cover up my tattoo's. Also have both of my sides/ribs tattooed and my right chest - All Japanese.

Guys - thanks for all your advice. i'm happy to say that the squeeling has finally gone! re-greasing and cleaning seems to have done the trick. thanks again

can you replace the rear pads without removing the caliper in the same way as the front?

Do you store a lot of stuff under those spacious seats?

Yup agreed! motorways still scare me a bit and i nearly got hit by a golf on a roundabout yesterday nearly pulled out into me i guess his knowledge is bikes hoon it off roundabouts so when i was casually riding past he went to pull out and almost clipped my rear wheel when I am riding, I find motorways the safest environment to ride in .. not sure if people share that view. Its roads where there is any opportunity to get t-boned that scare me more.

Please get a scooby doo for it that nods its head

luverly!!! ... really like the latest models too - don't see many around. Maybe there is a reason for that?

agreed. . was there last weekend on my stag do. manage to catch a few before the lads noticed what i was doing and confiscate my phone!

really nice - always fancied the topless 370z's

have a start by increasing the size of your font! - good luck with the hunt

is it likely to be a company the majority of us use?

I need details! looks very interesting!
