  1. I never used to consider the high bite point on the zed clutch until I purchased a Vectra as my daily driver (which is much lower and lighter) Now whenever getting back into the Zed after an extended time, I spend the first 5 mins looking really inept at junctions and traffic lights readjusting my driving style haha! As mentioned above, it can be adjusted, infact here's the 'how to': http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/50287-how-to-adjust-clutch-pedal/page__hl__%2Bclutch+%2Badjust
  2. How about an Audi S8 - they're a V10 aren't they? Although you'd still be having the same issues as the M5
  3. PS3 for me At least that way everyone you're encountering is running the equivalent hardware (although I don't think that's so much of an issue with PC's these days - but it is annoying when you have to tone down settings as your pc can't handle it fully etc)
  4. If you have a second car, or a misus - maybe try Admiral multicar It shaved a couple of hundred quid off my quote vs just a single car policy (which was also with the admiral group)
  5. You'll probably be hit with an early repayment penalty by pushing that much money back into the mortgage... It's pure bonus money - put a little aside as emergency 'rainy day' fund - go on an amazing holiday no expense spared and install a turbo!!!
  6. If really worried, could you maybe get the last one engraved to match the other three?? Decent engineering place could do this for you...
  7. I agree with you on this... While it would be an amazing car to own - the restrictive way in that any maintenance would have to be carried out with fancy software and by BMW would be a bit of put off. Essentially I couldn't afford it - and I guess that's the trap with supercars that depreciate to affordable levels. It would be worth it though...
  8. Wheel alignment was the best money I ever spent on the Zed. Can thoroughly recommend Orbit Tyres in Rushden for Hunter Hawk Eye alignment
  9. Could it be something like faulty crank case sensor? Used to be the culprit on my Peugeot...
  10. This looked incredible, what was the fuel cost if you don't mind me asking...
  11. Looks brilliant - the orange and grey really look well together. Dave
  12. Many thanks! (got there in the end with Flickr ha!)
  13. Without giving away your trade secrets, but what sort of post prod. stuff are you doing to make the pictures 'pop' like that??
  14. The photography here is great (car looks stunning) The shots of the car in motion - were they done with a steady hand or using some type of rig?
  15. Ah just noticed it is one of the later ones
  16. Bloody lovely. I think my favourite colour combination - and seemingly rare/exclusive too... Dave
  17. What is the source of the new advice mate? Sorry mate, missed this... See here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=4816822 Dave
  18. Nothing wrong with that, mine still going strong at 100k mileage. Although Clutch and flywheel replaced at 72k lol
  19. Let the missus drive it for a bit - she'll eventually get bored at which point cash it in and get your money back. Everyone wins but your cashflow for a few months maybe...
  20. I've always been careful in the Zed, however, on the first day of ownership of a manky Vectra diesel estate and Boom! - speeding fine. Bloody typical lol
  21. I remember once seeing this on a Peugeot 205 and still have no idea how it's meant to work...
  22. To be fair, Halfords should soak this up - crap bunch
