I still check in from time to time.. Car never recovered, police never got anywhere, insurance paid out (mostly). Spent the last 15 months with an MX-5 then splurged ... and.. Not a great photo .. Cayman S PDK.. Still miss my Z though. And can't seem to find decent porker forum...

Sorry to harp on about the seats, but are them manual or electric? I just spent ages on the nissan site trying to find out... Quite taken by the black ex-demo nismo on auto trader right now... although I cant buy for another month and a half...

or maybe the map adjusts for the petrol over time .. then with a different one doesnt respond as well..

How do the seats compare? I keep seeing they are cloth seats with no heated elements. Now I don't care about the heated seats (I use them once a year for novelty), but going from my nice leathers/alcantra to cloth seems a bit of downgrade? Other than that I'm lovin the nismo... and probably gonna sort one out this xmas...

Now that's an interesting idea, but I did consider this before - looking at my company car scheme for the barge and the 370 as the fun. The problem is - I quite enjoy driving. So saving the fun car for the weekend doesnt really work for me. Using it every day isnt a chore for me, it's great! Yes, running costs are more important than fuel - thats one reason why the Camero made it onto my original list - it would be brand new under warranty (as would a 370). It's also the worry about getting something out of warranty... Missus did give a "go for it" when looking at a '09 R35 just now.. so it may be game over ...

Yes, reading that thread. XK: Possibility Vantage: scary reliability/running costs R35: running costs again VXR8: Had been thinking about this..

Well I was trying to stay sensible as I need it as a daily driver - doing 24k a year. But I guess I failed ..

hmm.. just seen a 2006 Aston Martin Vantage for 38k.... anyone know the practicalities of it as a daily driver? I imagine: costly...

4+ cyl, RWD/AWD ideally, might consider FWD. Engine anywhere, MPG > 30 on motorway Running costs approximate same as 370 or less Something that looks good... Really just scouting for ideas - for a daily driver is there anything a bit older that is worth getting? Any crazy ideas I hadnt considered? etc Doing the normal searches through ebay/autotrader/car homepages etc.. thanks joe

Dont mind if 4 or 2 doors. However not keen on BMWs .. Yes, new boxster might be pushing it a little. TT's are also out for me... Have considered the whole ST/VXR line... but feels like a step down... I'm fussy, i know...

So my 370z was stolen, I'm looking at around 25k back from that, and could stretch another 10k to 35k. I need a daily driver, doing 100 miles a day, so something reliable. I have no kids, and have another 4 door car so dont need space. Keen on pre reg deals (my 370z was an ex demo) to get price down. Been looking at: New Porsche Boxster Camero (might cost too much in fuel there...) Evo X WRX STi Don't like: GT86/BRZ Any suggestions? The 35k is a hard limit. I'd prefer something that is under warranty and wont break down. I'm just trying to get some ideas... of course the option of another 370z is there and there isnt much (if anything) that looks as good for the price..

Also: http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Rare-car-stolen-Stapleton-Bristol/story-17340023-detail/story.html Anyone know if the "only 23 in the country" is accurate or how to check? If did occur to me that the whole of Bristol now knows there is a rare car on my road - if I get it back how long until it is nicked again

I feel strangely proud: http://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/LocalPages/NewsDetails.aspx?nsid=26471&t=1&lid=1 Thanks for the continued support...

More info - just got back and seen all the damage. The car has chrome gecko/lizard badge on the back - so if you see a White GT Edition with that or silver wheels then that is the one. Also found out that they went through the house until they found both sets of keys. They stole lots of things they found while searching for the keys, but left without doing a "proper job" if you know what I mean.. Looks like it was stolen to sell on somewhere...
