Well chuffed for Leicester!! Well deserved title win

Owning a 370z and a 987 Cayman S, feel I can chip in here!! For driving performance, handling and enjoyment, the Cayman wins hands down everytime!! We live in fear of the dreaded IMS bearing failure and the potential bore scoring, but if it was to happen we'll just have to deal with the cost and accept the 'Porsche Tax'!! Then we will have a car that will be good for a loooong time

However, the zed stands out more on the road! Plenty of scope for mods/upgrades, and fun to drive! The costs to run both are very similar, and although the Porsche is a better 'drivers car', the zed still cannot be written off

But please stay away from an RCZ... awful

Just noticed this hotel is another Holiday Inn, lets hope it has better/faster service than the one we all stayed at for Japfest

I hope so too!! It has speed bumps, but they are a lot smaller though haha! Tried and tested

Spotted by my hubby who followed it up to the QMC turn off, he was in a Porsche Caymen and was chuffed that he got a thumbs up from the girl driving

He said it was a real nice looking car, modded well

I know!

With Humpy as a potential, and also Mr Tarmac Sportz enquiring, we might have to start a reserve list soon!

I have now got a reservation for 45 people for Sunday dinner, and will be starting a new thread for that shortly once they send me the pre-order info

Yeah, more than likely we will stay in the hotel bar on the Friday as people will be arriving at different times, saves any issue trying to track folk down

Thankyou!

I'm offshore at the moment, but i'll sort the tickets when I get home and PM ticket colour/numbers to those who want in

Mods - Could this thread please be pinned to bring attention to it before the 4th June?

Thankyou

Hahahahaha! Yep 'one' drink only is easy already proved that!! As for the hobnobs, I fear I may lose my other half

Good stuff, hope you can make it!

I haven't got anything organised as yet for the Friday night, so I'm open to suggestions, as long as it doesn't involve travelling too far ;-)

Saturday will be at the holiday Inn and I'm still looking for Sunday's place for lunch!

I will be setting up a private group message shortly to firm up numbers to help for meal reservations etc.

Can vouch for RSV Graphics for work done previously on my car, and for this price I'm definitely going for it

Will be getting in touch with the lads at RSV shortly

As I'm a definite, just need 3 others to go for it to bring the cost down to £200

Cheers for organising this James

Maybe good to get the dates in the title as an aide-mémoire

Good call! Done

On a side note, just spent 2 days driving a good couple of hundred miles around the Peak District and i think the route is decided! Some amazing roads and fab scenery!! I think we've found a Sunday Lunch spot, just need to get in touch with the venue for availability and cost.

Hopefully this week i'll have some more information for you all about the weekend... It will be slightly different to a Wales one, but i hope that you will all enjoy it

Having a ball planning all of this

Don't forget about the raffle, its in the Major Yearly Events sub forum too... any forum member is welcome to buy tickets. We have some fab prizes on offer so far!!

I see you're having a rest from modifying for now. I'm sure it won't last.... About those headlights...

Yes about those headlights... Want want want!!!

Hey!! We've all been waiting to see what happened here!!

http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/88185-any-legal-advice-on-road-offence/

Welcome back though!!

Anybody know of any specific 370z roadster spoilers that aren't just a small lip style?

Any ideas on how difficult it would be to adapt one designed for the coupe?

Ideally I'd like something similar style to the V1 Nismo spoiler....

Suggestions welcome!

Bianca was born on 1st March 2010, when Jason Derulo was number 1 in the charts, and I was 4 months into dating MrNiki!!

I was running around in a Rav4 at that point in time, living on a very rough estate, and in a job I hated with a passion!

Amazing how life can change so much in a short few years!! Having the best time ever nowadays...

I saw this had been sold on Facebook, did not know it was to a forum member!! Happy days!!

Dan, boy babies do not grow out of most of the above

Me and MrNiki are just coming up to our 1st wedding anniversary, so you can imagine how many times we get asked 'when are we going to hear the patter of tiny feet'... erm, never!! Neither of us have any interest in children, we both want to have nice things in life, travel the world in a few years and live for ourselves. Nothing wrong with that at all. We both knew from day 1 that was what we wanted.

What really bothers me is when folk keep asking us about children as if its the norm, and then say 'you'll change your mind one day'... I don't ask people why they had kids and tell them they'll wish they had never bothered one day, so why is it acceptable the other way around??

Never feel guilted into it, it's your life to do with as you please. I believe that people who have time to judge/pressure others are lacking in some aspect of their own life.

Just to keep you all in the loop, things are coming along nicely with the planning of this event! I am sorting show n shine trophies at present, and trying to arrange Saturday evening dinner plans...

I will be sorting out T-shirt designs with the help of Squee, watch this space

We have a great selection of zed's so far, and a few very nice non-zeds in the mix too!!

This promises to be a great weekend!!

Hey guys

I have started getting some prizes together ready for the Peak District weekend raffle, so I thought now is as good a time as any to start the ball rolling on selling tickets to both those who are attending and those who aren’t attending.

The aim is to raise as much money as possible for our charity of the year, and this one will be close to the hearts of many, if not all of us…

The forum admin/mods kindly reached out to Martin MacDonald’s wife and family on behalf of the forum to select the charity this year in memory of Martin. Liz and family have chosen the St Mary’s hospice in Ulverston (http://www.stmaryshospice.org.uk/).

Raffle tickets £5 a strip (5 tickets)

I have set up a just giving page for payment of the raffle tickets:

https://www.justgiving.com/MrsNiki

Please make sure to include your forum name when donating, or PM me to let me know once done.

Tickets will be available up until Saturday 4^th June, the draw will be made that evening.

This raffle is open to ALL forum members, so dig deep for a great cause!!

Oh dear... another one of those M badge w****rs!!

Snoozebox undergoing refurbishment I believe and it ran over schedule.... there's been a few choice words used over this

Its not the end of the world though, just means a small drive in the morning to get there!

Jus incase this affected anybody from this group: If any of you guys had booked the Snoozebox Silverstone for the Saturday night, I believe there are a few folk taking the alternative hotel (Holiday Inn Northampton) after all booking were cancelled last night...
