  1. Yep. Believe idea was mooted about before....hopefully this time it will come off.
  2. Not to sure.....think they must be given the chance to fix it. But they should give you another car to use in the meantime.
  3. gtr. but then i'd also be looking at Masser, Aston V8 and GT3s. (possibly a XK-R) don't think Evora would even be in the top ten if i had 50K.
  4. At least you got good money for your trade in. I traded my RS4 in a trade price (which was way lower than market value) but because the car I traded against was lower - the difference was actually less. BUT then the car I bought was defective, so car went back and additional finance was cancelled. I also only got back trade value on my RS4 as they had sold it on (probably at a profit - to offset the reduced price of their car). Long story short - I didn't get market value for my car. You on the other hand may actual score out of it....as you mentioned you got a great trade in price. Good luck.
  5. the general rule of thumb up across border is "dont pay them". They will send you various threads including court action etc etc.....but if you ignore them they will go away. Only "official" parking fines is from the goverment / plod.
  6. Mid Nov onwards ideal for me.....would even be worth draggin car out of storage.
  7. As I said before....also looking at getting one for my kid. Will be a smaller engine though. Nice colours. Good luck with new wheels.
  8. HDi engine??? And what about the bits n bobs you had laying around for the Z?
  9. You must live in a remote village in Scotland..!! Not remote - 15 miles from Edinburgh....but not too many thieving scum up our way I guess. Makes a change from 300 years ago...when the Scots were the thieving scum. :p Its a strange old world.
  10. just wait till you get over 40....you could nearly insure 4 Zeds for 670!!!
  11. just have a search on here.....245 on a 9.5 rim will be fine though.
  12. "going to try and leave it standard" :lol: Yep, we all said that. Welcome.
  13. Point to remember - haggle with salary. Most people working out that way do haggle, and therefore not all are on the same money. Did think about it myself....but if you have ever been around the Gulf area in the summer then you'll know why I chose not too.!!! You'll need good sunglasses and a lot of factor 50. And don't sell up in UK.....if you hate it you can always jack it in and move back. Good luck with interview.
  14. Yep life in Saudi would be pretty restricted. Depending on industry (oil) you might be in the middle of nowt!!! and possibly compound living. Money will be good and if your out the UK for more than 6 months / year - tax free.
  15. Depends how you drive. If you honestly trundle around less than 5k revs.....devo 350z. If not, buy a s2000. Oh and if your of bigger stature....forget the s2000.
  16. Look on the bright side (no pun intended)...no need for a reversing light.
  17. its what i have been thinking about for my kid...17 soon. i reckon they look very cool. let us know hoe you get on.
  18. There is 10 Zeds going to be there Mark, but I do think a weekend up in Scotland would be good for us and you of course I would 100% be interested! Wait till Nov guys....working overseas. Just me luck you'd organize something for late Oct. If Mark is cool with that then we could set up something for November ? Sounds like a plan. Maybe Mark can give us ball park figures....how many cars etc needed to make it worth his while. Obviously a shandy or two will be free. It's Scotland, Shandy is for the woman Ah but Mark is from South of the border....don't want to scare him off.....

  21. ah thats cheating mate...you never said it was a conversion?? Could have been anything.
  22. Working overseas...but back in Nov. Scotland is nice for hols early Dec !! There is a few dynos central Scotland, one thats pretty local to me that I've used when I had my Evo. Not sure how guy would feel letting Mark use it, but you never now ! After all, its just a dyno run or two. Mark would be doing the mapping. Logistically how many revup cars would you need to make it feasible? Seems a while okay same plan was muted around but at the time I was just looking for a 350z. Did that ever come off? To OP Sorry but for highjacking thread will edit/delete if u want?.
