Had a great day, weather was brilliant for us, thanks everyone. Here's a couple of picks of the day...

Woohoo! Looks like its roof down all the way!

It was at JFE last week, on ramps on the front of the forecourt, didnt see it yesterday though.

Was at JFE today testing the 370z nismo, met a guy as I arrived back on the forecourt who had just got a 370 roadster, told him about the run and the forum, he said he was busy on Sunday but would join us in the future. Spoke to 3 other non members as well, they said they might turn up, we'll just have to see.

Oh yea, the nismo was pretty good by the way...

Z370Z has done it, I was following them a few months back and it sounded great on acceleration.

I've lived with my unresonated cobra (from cs) for a week now and don't know why I didn't put it on 7 years ago when I got the car. None of the sound clips online really give you what its really like. If you get the chance meet some local owners and listen to them in the flesh.

Thanks guys. I'll take it off the amazon wish list then.

Looks like that's a no then?

Anyone fitted one of these? It says its for the 350z post 2003 models?

Ok...

Car clean... Check...

New Cobra 'zorst' fitted... Check...

Now I need to pick what CDs go into the Bose for Sunday. So far its...

Ministry of sound, Decade 2000-2009

Police, greatest hits

Swedish house mafia, until now

And probably a bit of Pete Tong and Goldie...

Oh and I've got this to valet for the little one as well...

Roll on Sunday

Good thread!

I looked at these too (and the early R8s, M5, M3, RS4, VXR8, Carrera 4), like Sam, none of the German stuff has any thrill for me and I was lucky enough to get into the heats for the Nissan race academy a few years ago and raced the 370s and GTRs, again ok but no sense of occasion.

I was on a Europe trip a few years ago and a Masser was there, the guy said he had some horrendus bills to fix the stereo and elec windows but he loved driving it, yea it makes a great noise!

I needed a larger (more practical) car last year, so went for a supercharged full size V8 range rover.... F#ck.... ! I love it... Not the best round corners, but feels seriously fast on acceleration and I easilly kept up with a work colleagues 06 350z last week pulling onto the motorway... ha ha ha.. Im smiling now just thinking about it, the torque is crazy and its so quiet and refined inside. its getting 16mpg though!

Anyway, I digress, back to the original question.

I liked both or even the DB9, but I decided to continue to save and aim to get a F430 or a F599.

Everyone PMd with the route.

See you on Sunday...

15 booked for lunch, there will be cream teas and home made cakes available as well if anyone wants a snack, the bar will also be open if required.

Ok, so I'm going with 15 for lunch.

Heres a couple of teasers for next week...

I'll send the final google route (by PM) to everyone on the list during the week. See you next Sunday!

Nice one, bring it out to play... see you at the dartmoor run next weekend?

Please sign me up.

 

I understand Crediton might be on the route plan, any idea when you might be passing? I am not sure the A377 from Crediton to Exeter then straight back down it will be the most fun so might wimp out of the beginning

 

Rockingham was a success I am happy to report!

 

Yea, we might be going through crediton Ben (dont want to give away too much about the route yet), we can pick you up around 11:30 at the shell garage?

Cheers guys!

With the late(ish) start, by the time we get there lunch will be nearly over and we should have the restaurant and lounge to ourselves but I should think that they will have some left, I'll ask but it might not be as nice as when it was fresh?

We went with the ploughman's as it won't get cold and if anyone is running late it's less of an issue, but they don't usually offer it on a Sunday so I'm having to give a guarantee (£5 pp) to ensure the food they order for us isn't wasted if we don't turn up or don't order it. Rob and I spoke to the forum regarding collecting deposits but it all seemed overly complicated.

It would be great if someone was willing to split the guarantee with me and could give them an aditional cc number on Monday. Nothing would be charged unless we noshow and when we order at least we wouldn't need work out who had paid deposits everyone can cover their own.

Got to pay a deposit for the food this weekend so final figures by Sunday evening please, the order will go in on Monday. I'm counting 14 so far?

Thanks everyone for the offers, in the end I got a good deal on a new unresonated cobra system, its just arrived and I can't wait till Friday when its being fitted.

Just bought (&received) my unresonated cobra from the cougar store via the forum, its being fitted on Friday. Can't wait.

Oh and to top it all las year they put up the price of my protected (5) years ncb because I had claimed for 2 chips and a new windscreen, which apparently I could claim for without it effecting the ncb.

As I said, robbing bas#ards!

I'm not bitter....

One thing to remember when shopping around, ask your current insurer what the maximum ncb is that they record. I haven't had an accident in 15 years and was looking around last year. I've got 3 cars at the moment so tried the multi car quote and it worked out cheaper with the new companies maximum 8 yr ncb. When I went back to my insurers to get conformation of the ncb they said they only record a maximum of 5 yes, this took the new quote higher than my renewal and I'm now trapped with my current insurer unless I am prepared to initially see an increase of premiums. Robbing bas#ards!

Car entry no 31, looked nice with the dark gray rays, got my vote for best in show.
