Exactly my experience too, maybe it had something to do with the later model HRs in comparison It's been a while since I've been on here. The reason being I changed my 2006 manual 350z for a 2010 auto 370z and hated it in the end, to be honest one of my worst car decisions. I kept the 350z for over 3 years, the 370z lasted less than a year. In that time drove the 370 half the amount I did the 350, purely because I didn't enjoy it. As others have said the manual 350z is more of a drivers car and more fun. That's my view at least....and we all have our own opinions. My recommendation is go and drive a manual and auto 370z before making the move, make sure you really enjoy it. The good news is I only lost £500 on the 370 for a years driving

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we used stormsure Pete Another + 1 for stormsure

+1 for the Black & Decker lithium battery vacuum cleaner. I have a slightly different version but like the idea of the flexible hose.

Lol, there's your answer, just like a central heating system

You swim in the lakes!!! Bit cold isn't it?! Only May to October and in a wetsuit, it actually gets too warm mid summer so that you have to cool down after one lap. Though there are quite a few braver that only wear swimsuits....not for me as I like the comfort of knowing I can't sink in a wetsuit !

Aha, I go swimming in one of those lakes, where the wakeboard and ski club is located.

Beaconsfield services isn't a million miles from me, let me know if you arrange anything. There are a potentially a few in the Oxon area that could be up for a meet.

I have seen the car parked up as I've cycled past

Yes, there are some T**** on the road. It a shame as so many are careful. I'm getting out on the bike quite frequently at the moment, while there is no rain so I am probably seeing a few more idiots than normal. My worst experiences from this week were an Audi and BMW going past on a 50 limit road, doing at least 70, no cars on the other side of the road, but they appeared to enjoy flying past only inches to my right. Both incidents were at about 7pm so I assume they were in a rush to get home. Also, a couple of occasions I have been overtaken for the car only for it to turn left some metres ahead so that I have to slam on the brakes. There was absolutely no point in overtaking me... On the flip side I have seen a cycling club out that were at least 2 side by side and about 15 members in the bunch. It does make overtaking for cars very difficult. I think they should split the group to make it easier.

This is shown in the video i did it said you should go in the other lane well the distant from the outside rider would be the same is you only cut half the lane to pass a single how is it ok in one instant and not the other? I think 1:41 onwards in the video Here is the HC extract, I haven't looked at the mentioned rules, probably worth taking a look give motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders at least as much room as you would when overtaking a car (see Rules 211 to 213) and 214 to 215).

This is shown in the video

From what I could see he was going the same speed as the lorry and set himself up to also pass the cyclists ahead ?

Yes, just adding a blue line doesn't help, education is required too, for cyclists and drivers. Last year I cycled from Marble Arch to Arc de Triomphe and to be honest i hated driving through London and Paris, not much fun at all. Give me the countryside any day, I'm fortunate to have the Cotswolds on my doorstep.. One thing that really gets me is cyclists with no helmets on...mad !

I guess it depends on where you live, there are no cycle lanes out here and very few traffic lights, but lot's of drivers that get too close when passing. And cyclists in big groups not allowing drivers to pass easily, especially at the weekend

same thing happened in cambridge but they cant track the cyclist http://www.cambridge...tail/story.html Terrible, adults shouldn't be cycling on the footpath, unless allowed (and then with care), and should be fined. We have to remember there are many car drivers that jump red lights, take no notice of zebra crossings etc. Unfortunately there will always be bad bike riders and car drivers.
