  1. In all seriousness I can't really see the point of this feature. Making or taking a call of any kind in any way while driving is a dangerous distraction and if the car is stopped why not just use the phone normally?
  2. Hurts like hell when you lose a much loved pet. Sorry for you.
  3. The Z makes the Porsche look weedy!
  4. I have the newly developed Cobra HFCs - very happy with those so I'm sure the exhaust will be good
  5. Don't worry - it's a Nismo specific issue. They put spacers in the front springs to stop the front lip getting damaged on the boat. Apparently dealers often forget to have them removed (which explains some of the unfairly harsh reviews about the Nismo's ride quality).
  6. The 370z gt edition was a limited run in certain colours with a few tweeks, it's different to the 370z gt If you google it will show the spec, iirc better sound proofing, illuminated entry guards, improved suspension, maybe reverse cam not entirely sure tbh, they have a decal along the bottom of the door etc with gt edition But because it has the decal it doesn't mean it is a gt edition as these are available for £29.99 off eBay Not 100% on this but I don't think they have the connect premium, a mate has a gt edition and his hasn't And just to confuse matters, not all GT Editions have the decal on!
  7. The road noise issue is massively outweighed by the positives of owning a 370. I don't even notice it anymore cos I'm too busy enjoying the drive. Be aware that the steering lock recall issue only applies to certain cars in to 2010. I seem to remember that my previous 370 was registered in June 2010 and on checking the VIN it was just outside the range of numbers that fell within the scope of the recall. I'm not qualified to comment on the M3 as I've not driven one but if having a car that has good performance AND turns heads (In a good way) is a factor in your decision making, the 370 is a good choice.
  8. Looking at where the scratch is, I guess you could always try the touch up and if you're not satisfied with the result go with pro option. My experience of the white 370 paint on my first car, trying to treat stone chips, was that touch up paints didn't blend well at all, but it can't hurt to try. If It doesn't work out, you've only spent a few quid and you can still get it sorted professionally.
  9. Only use touch up if you don't mind being able to see the repair from close up. I'd go with the 'chips away' suggestion or a body shop that will do a spot repair. It's too nice a car to compromise IMHO.
  10. Here's a bigger pic of mine for comparing
  11. Had it in Twickenham for about 6 years now. Most reliable and trouble free internet I've ever had.
  12. Buy it Buy it!!
  13. Fairly sure there isn't a code. It's a two stage finish - dusting of silver over black base. One of the drawbacks of the nice dark Rays we have. A good refurb outfit should be able to match it but make sure they see the wheel before you book; my experience is that not every refurb place is up to this kind of job. One of the reasons I'm very cautious near kerbs is the hassle involved in getting the wheels refurbed
  14. Not for long Will Further mods and then an uprev in the pipeline (Although I think Mark told me the Nismo can't have different maps; to be fair I only ever used one of them on my previous car so not a big deal for me.)
  15. How did she not see you!! Hope you get it sorted.
  16. For your money, you might want look at the Black Editions (aka 40th Anniversary). Mechanically they're the same as the GT pack cars but have very nice dark alloys and red interior. I think the Quartz colour one is particularly nice (my previous car). There is currently a fairly low mileage example on Autotrader for 17k. Oh and if hasn't been said already, budget £900 - £1300 for a decent exhaust. The standard exhaust sounds pathetic.
  17. I want an uprev now!
  18. I noticed on my last Z they started to fall to bits!
  19. So much more......black Let's face it, they look good in all three colours. Shame they don't do the red over here. They are very tasty
  20. Glad you had a good trip. I was there recently to get my HFCs fitted - great bunch of guys.
  21. Good to meet you yesterday Marcus Will If you are seriously considering a Nismo make sure you take a look at the white In the flesh too. You're welcome to nip over and see mine
  22. Nice colour but prefer the older style wheels. Enjoy your new Z
  23. Driving through the town at about 6.30 pm on Thursday. Blue. Large rear wing and very loud exhaust.....
