I have had it since last June, and do that journey every day on my way back to Coventry from Leamington. I usually avoid the A45 though and go through leek wooton, kenilworth after going past the Saxon mill. So perhaps some days I am a bit heavier on the accelerator and get to leek wooton before you come down that road. And ha ha.. when I say digging I mean that I noticed your signature and worked it out (genius) By the way, where do you get yours serviced?

Ah just done a bit of digging. You are the chap in the azure coupe that I keep seeing!

Bit of an update... Watch out if you get this, it spreads very rapidly when you take the roof down a few times. My rip doubled in size until I put sail tape on it to hold it together.

Also sorry for the terrible typing! lol

I have not bothered fixing it yet. I have put sail tape on it instead which has stopped it ripping any further and stops the wind noise which I was getting when I went over 60 mph. I plan to get it repaired one day, but after properly looking at it I have no idea have to even get behind it.

That will be me! I usually drive down there every day from Montague Road > Spinney about that time. I was just coming round the round about I think when I spotted you. Although, I think I saw two Z's that day on that same stretch of road. Which were you?

Thanks for the reply, I have tried contacting a place for a quote near here. Will post up details when I have some options. Ignoring the rip though.. WHAT A CAR!

I just bought myself a lovely 2007 roadster and I have just noticed there is a slight tear in the roof near the drivers side window. See attached link: http://twitpic.com/5s09h4 Its not really a big issue for me as its only a couple of centimetres. But I have noticed whenever I take the roof down the strain on the rip seems to make it bigger slightly. I have been reading a few guides on about repairing this. I have seen some impressive videos of repairs using something called Storm Sure which involves taping the front and then getting behind the rip and glueing it basically. This looks like it could work, but the position of the rip is directly behind the main beam for the roof so I can't seem to get behind it. Does anyone have any advice about repairing these sorts of rips? or even know of repair places near the midlands. I think if I could figure out how to unclip it by the window I could repair it fairly easily myself. But I just can imagine myself ending up with bits left over if I attempt to dismantle anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have tried searching, and although these sort of things seem common enough. There doesn't seem to have been anyone who has a proper solution.

I had a CTR 2004 and went to an MR2 (MRS) and then onto a 350z roadster... the 350z kinda reminds me of a combination of both. Much more solid feeling than the MR2 (but similar driving position) and handles like the CTR but with more torque. I do miss the squealing VTEC that you will be used to with the CTR. But I got bored of that car quite quickly and seemed only to be able to entertain myself by driving in first gear through town so I could hear the VTEC squealing at me. The growl, driving position and general fun you can have with this car is ace. It also feels a lot more exclusive. I have only had my car for two weeks but I have not seen another 350z owner at all around here (Leamington, Warwick) area. Petrol is surprising me though. But that is because I have come from a 1.8 to this lol
