  1. Where about's in Scotland?
  2. I was surprised how much it actually hurt. If my mum wasn't there holding my hand I don't think I could have handled it
  3. Yes this is the 5.7L Hemi with 340BPH. As far as I can tell it's only the engine that is up upgraded (on the hardware side) from the standard. The SRT has Bremmo brakes and upgraded suspension, as well as 6.1L engine with 425BHP.
  4. Cheers for the input guys. I'm going to check how much more this will be on insurance tomorrow. I understand people don't like the styling, it was more stuff like the radiators mentioned above that I wanted input on. I watched Clarkson rip it, and an M5 rip it apart, but this is a 11K car with less than 50K on the clock, not many chances of getting an M5 like that! Anyone near Preston fancy meeting up on Saturday morning/afternoon?
  5. Yeah I agree the Startech grill looks loads better. When I searched on YouTube all I got was people wheel spinning to "Westside" tunes I actually said "apart from the styling" as I know a lot of people dislike the looks, but I'm actually a big fan. It's funny you say that, a group of VXR8's drove past me on the M6 a few months ago and I got a "nod" from one of them who was actually wearing a VXR baseball cap
  6. Hi guys, I am thinking of going down to Preston on Saturday to see this beast - http://goo.gl/Obhhy Apart from the styling and terrible MPG does anyone have any opinions on these? I have been on the hunt for a bigger car and if all goes well I will be trading in/selling my Yellow GT4 to fund this. Cheers, Ewan
  7. I'm a bit of Hi-Fi buff myself and have had plenty of equipment over the years. What I would recommend if money is tight initially is buying a set of stereo speakers and a sub-woofer, but with a amp that is capable of "surround sound". That means you can add a centre speaker and rear speakers at a later date if you want to. If you are mainly using it to play the sound from the TV, then most broadcasts are only recorded in stereo anyway. Most amps with try to turn the stereo recording into surround sound (e.g. playing voices out of the centre speaker) but I wouldn't recommend this. Music listening is always better in stereo for the same reason. If you are wanting it for playing blu-rays and//or gaming then a surround sound is the way to go from the outset, but if not then a good quality stereo setup is recommended. And as I said, if you get a surround sound amp then you have the option to add surround speakers at a later date.
  8. Can I ask how you got your door handles black Peter?
  9. I'm with the majority, if it's trying to spell something that you can't clearly make it it looks a bit stupid. However, if it's actually personal to you, i.e. you or a loved ones initials then I think it's a good addition. I got EC05 ZZZ for £250 and I'm quite happy, it's my initials and the obvious Z connection.
  10. When I got my GT4 it had a full Nismo body kit on it, with loads of Nismo stickers plastered all over it. I got them to remove them all, apart from a small 1 on the rear. I agree with others that unless you have a Nismo kit or performance (I don't think my gear knob counts) I'd avoid Nismo branding, especially on the front.
  11. Yes it is! http://www.fiterature.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/a-team-corvette02.jpg I know, itd have bought this instead of the Z! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  12. With you on that one Rich Awesome cars, no denying that, but they don't tickle my pickle if it were a woman i'd have to thumb it in x 2
  13. Thinking about getting this as a second car for the following reasons: - Cheap run around - Good economy - Reliable - Practical - Spacious - Subtle http://www.autotrade...201244490735050
  14. Hi, am I not the 5th? 1. 350Ad 2. ewan221 3. Vini69 4.Ninjaz 5.Ewan27
  15. I started a thread in the meets section and gave rough details. When will you have a definite date?
  16. Yeah I have no problem with anyone using my garage, I must warm you though, Annan's not a particularly exciting place! Happy to accommodate any other Scottish Z's for the afternoon though.
  17. If I'm only paying for materials, you can take as long as you like I make the best coffee in town or there's a shopping outlet at Gretna you could leave her at
  18. as i already spoke to you before i posted this, ill do same for you when im in scotland mate I'm also in Scotland (just over the border, near Carlisle) and would like my roof done, but I understand that you doing Ewan221's as a special favour so it's cool if you can't. Do you have a garage or somewhere indoors for your car? And how far are you off the m6? Driving up with the girlfriend so cant do too much of a detour and dependant on the time we are leaving, but if its possible i will. Even if its on the way back down south and. Had spare time. Dates for scotland are looking like 24th dec til 3rd jan atm Yeah my car is kept in the garage (which has power), it's quite tight for space, enough to comfortably get the car in length ways and wide enough to squeeze my fat ass out without banging the door. I'm about 15 minutes off the M6 (place called Annan), see map link here - http://goo.gl/maps/MxNam Any of those dates are fine with me
  19. as i already spoke to you before i posted this, ill do same for you when im in scotland mate I'm also in Scotland (just over the border, near Carlisle) and would like my roof done, but I understand that you doing Ewan221's as a special favour so it's cool if you can't.
  20. Yeah I think these guys might be right by heading to Manchester, then Wales. If you wanted to go from London to Newcastle, Abderdeen, John O'Groats, Manchester and back you would be spending roughly 24 hours driving!
  21. Actually sounds like you might struggle to fit all your destinations in a 2 day round trip, get google maps for a rough estimate!
  22. Come off the motorway at Moffat (not far over the border) and take the scenic route to Edinburgh. This is known as "the beef tub" road and is a good road for the Z (maybe not in the ice though!). You can then head over the fourth road bridge to Dundee and up to Aberdeen. John O Grots is a fair way from Aberdeen. The further up you go, the better the roads get to be honest!
  23. I'm going to be near this tomorrow, I can phone the guy and go have a look for you if you want? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201241488049781
  24. Has she seen the super sexy Ultra Yellow? http://www.350z-tech.com/forums/attachments/nissan-350z-media/41217d1188191352-ultra-yellow-z-s-dscf0016.jpg Only other important thing is Roadster or not, i.e. do you want a softtop?
