I was sooooo happy when the smoking ban came in. Wouldn't want to go back to being in pubs and restaurants breathing in other people's smoke thank you very much.

Don't be dissing my Nismo. Nothing you say can dull the Nismo love I feel! And I have many impressive and powerful modifications (actually I have a GTR starter button and that's it)

Yeah I work hard too but I want whatever job he's got

Hey that sounds like me! I'm not on a Vauxhall forum though

Apart from wanting to throttle the occasional thick bonehead who brags about running over animals for fun (seriously), I think this is a great forum and I say that as someone who generally has very little time for social media. I've learnt a lot from the expertise and knowledge of people on here, and had plenty of laughs along the way

I have two questions please: 1) Are you a very successful international jewel thief? 2) Can I borrow a tenner?

Sell the infant to a rich childless couple in the US and buy a Ferrari?

Was it a "kitler" (cats that look like Hitler)?

I think she bought the wrong sized top

Definitely helps if your driving is done for fun rather than necessity. I'm on the train to work in the week and in the Z at the weekend

I think Zs are an all or nothing car. If you love em, you really love em and the joy of ownership outweighs all the downsides such as running costs, which is why I'm on my third 370 in about four years. It may be that you're just not a Z person but best of luck with whatever you end up with

Seems to me a lot of people don't understand how to properly use indicators e.g. they reach a junction where they want to turn off, start the turn and then indicate!!! Totally pointless. Another pet hate of mine is people who don't indicate at all on roundabouts when they should do, leaving you to guess which exit they're taking

Anyone know the right colour for the red callipers on the 370? They seem quite prone to chips and the best I've been able to do in the past is get a touch up kit with a similar colour and then mix it with the darker primer to get a suitable shade. It's not ideal though - be great if anyone knows the right colour for them.

I know the feeling. Been looking at moving somewhere a bit more rural recently such as Sussex - Petworth area is very nice, but what you save on the rent you lose on the commuting costs. Probably have to run a second car just to get to the station as well. Not moaning really though. I do like it round 'ere.

We're in Zone 5. £1500 PCM for a two bed terrace. Not to mention the bills and the £2k+ each per year to commute into Central London. You kinda get used to it though, as everyone in the area is in pretty much the same boat.

I believe the Italian police got some Lotus Evoras.

I even get a small amount on the inside of the sat nav screen occasionally! Disappears when the car warms up though,

If anybody could be bothered to read they would have seen my comments earlier, I HAD to sell my Zed For health reasons, needed an Auto and something more comfortable otherwise I would have driven my Zed till it fell apart, probably somewhere on the A14 just outside Chirk Trying to persuade Mary to get a 370z, she wants a Z4 and despite my complete feeling of 'meh' for the 370 I would rather have one of those than a Z4 in a heartbeat..... but only because she can't afford a Cayman Sent from the golf club... But don't boring old Cayman's come in a huge range of prices?

Worst thing about Them is they have two totally separate lists depending whether you enter 370z or 370 z!

Errr just to be clear 'shiny newness' wasn't a factor for me. Believe it or not some have bought Nismos because we like em. Take the GTR as an example. I like them too and there's no denying it's objectively a better car than the 370z Nismo in performance terms, but other factors were part of my buying decision: - I could have stretched to a GTR but I'd have been buying one of the older ones which are not (unless they've been significantly upgraded) as good as the 2011+ variants. That's not about it being older per se, it's about what you'd get for your money (and even older GTRs are generally significantly more expensive with the odd exception that I'd probably be quite wary of) - I prefer a manual transmission - Servicing costs - Personally I prefer the Zs looks - Size - decided I didn't want something quite so big! Bit risky thinking you know how all of us think and make decisions. You might be wrong!

Why would anyone pay £30K for a Nissan? Swings and roundabouts. All cars are created equal, but some are more equal than others. Because the One i wanted more than any other car I could afford (including the usual German alternatives) costs that much. I suspect the same is true of GTR owners.

Just adding a voice of reason in a rose tinted thread..... In many many ways an Astra VXR will be more fun to drive than a Zed and many would find it a better looking car too, mainly because it wasn't designed in the 90's..... none of that means a Zed is a bad car or everyone is stupid to own one.... if I could still drive one I would have another in a heartbeat Sent from the golf club... I think this thread has been anything but rose tinted, everyone has been more than fair with the speed of an Astra and if we cant admire 350z's for its kerb appeal on a 350z forum without "a voice of reason" i think thats very ironic. If you or Ekona seriously think an Astra has more kerb appeal than a Zed, well......... I honestly think it does have more appeal for a lot of people yes. It's undoubtably much better equiped, probably safer, just as quick, more practical, can take more than 1 passenger, cheaper to run etc etc None of those things really apply though as it's a completely different beast so can't really be compared. A GT86 would be a better comparison really... A few years back when I got my Zed I would say they were a cut above, real presence but nowadays there are for me too many chavved up examples around which are tainting the marque..... I would still have another if I could but it would be standard(ish) no stupid loud exhaust or slammed to the floor and huge bodykit.... Each to their own Sent from the golf club... Hey. Don't be down on body kits

I'm liking the PS4. Wasn't going to get one despite having owned a games machine of some sort since the days of the ZX Spectrum but bought one on a whim and really liking it. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about Resogun. It's easily the best game on the system right now and costs a fraction of the price of the big name games

I reckon we're all guilty of looking down on other people for one thing and another from time to time but setting up a site solely dedicated to slagging off other people seems a bit sad to me. And it's not like those guys are all driving round in cars to be proud of.

Looks great! I think it would look good if you painted the frame black maybe?
