dont bother keeping it looking oem - everyone who knows the cars will consider the fact that it still has the oem stereo in as a negative, because it wont work! You'll get far better quality sound out of an aftermarket unit, and do away with the 1980s cassette deck and join the 21st century with an aux in!

Route des Grandes Alpes seems like a good starting point, not sure if its quite the area you were going for? http://www.losapos.com/great_alpine_road

i very rarely wash my car myself... a detailing friend recommended a place down the road that washes while you wait - but unlike most polish immigrant washing outfits, they snowfoam first, then use wash mitts and two bucket method, and then hand wax, so very reasonable for £10! Plus neither my current flat or my last flat had a hose outside, so i had to rinse with a watering can, which just doesnt work!

it'll be terrible, but in a really really good way...

Hot of the press - this went on youtube this afternoon! Matt Farah reviews Corey Hosford's 800bhp LS3 350Z drift machine on Tuned

aye sounds like we'll be at a few of the same tracks! would love to track a zed, but costs and risks is too prohibitive... keep us updated with the build thread though

Aston for me! the head honcho DR at Prodrive owns one, and its parked outside my office most days. Clarkson is right, its a stunning looking car, thes best aston have ever made, Willow Springs laser tag looked great fun, would love to try that!

Mmmm i actually really like that... The Do Luck bumper, skirts and diffuser all look really good, and i actually like the spoiler... makes the car look low and sleek. actually reminds me very strongly of the 9ff GT9, which is an absolute cruise missile of a car. i dunno about the price... yes its an elderly import, but its only done 25k and assuming its got the bodykit, wheels and suspension you're looking for i'd pay about £9k for it.

Its on Pistonheads today, but i thought it was a great vid, so thought i'd share... this is how the advertising for the GT86/BRZ should have looked... rather spoils the story that the driver also found time to put on a crash helmet, and needed to detour through a quarry, but whatever. They also missed a trick by having the girl in baggy short things and not french knickers

yep, any super is fine - even sainsburys 97. BP ultimate is a bit on the pricey side, but actually seemed to give an extra 1mpg over sainsburys stuff, so actually worked out about the same in terms of cost per mile.
