Stutopia

I want to be Bond, specifically Sean Connery Bond, offing baddies, driving fast cars, shooting guns, wielding gadgets, meeting dangerous beautiful dames, international travel, speaking multiple foreign languages, scuba diving, winning in casinos. Or I'd take being a hard-boiled noire Private Detective like Marlowe or Sam Spade. Wearing a cool suit and hat everyday, getting in to scrapes, fast talking dialogue with the baddies, irritating the bulls, shooting guns, being tough, solving crimes, meeting dangerous beautiful dames.

I had exactly the same fears before doing my first one late last year,via a mate in a Jaaaag Owner's Club, up north at Croft. I was bricking it about me cleaning up someone's E Type or some banana cleaning me up. Absolutely loved it in the end, I'm already thinking about more for this year and a track toy if I can find a lock up. Got to see a load of quality Jaaags, couple of Porkers and destroyed an Aston too Do it do it do it do it do it! Here's a link that was full of good advice when I was looking, also one from just after my first track day. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/76785-advicepreparation-for-first-track-day/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77044-my-first-track-day-croft/ PS - it might not be cool and hard, but I felt so much better knowing I'd taken out some insurance cover which would have paid out if the worst happened.

Nice mate, that's cool. You gonna hide your phone away so it just looks like an android headunit? In the vid I think the two screens looks er, interesting.

I'm sorry Kelly, Cheryl... I don't know what to say... It just wasn't working any more... It's me, it's not you... You're both just stuck in the past... Thanks to everyone who made it happen, not forgetting the Zed owners who take such good care of these beauties and snap the awesome shots.

Rubbish photo, but as I left the office and walked back through the car park, I got thinking, "That's why you get to drive a Zed, there's no one else left in the car park".

You wait until geofencing surveys come into play... Remind me to disable iBeacon.

Signed, democracy can't work if people don't take the opportunity to speak. Took less than a minute.

If you have enough microfibres and you flipped/folded after very stroke, then got a fresh one when it was flipped out, you'd minimise moving the dust about. You'd need a few MFs mind and plenty of lube, obviously you'd be crazy to do it if it was properly dirty, just lightly soiled. I'm going to add that Sonax to my trial list, looks great!

The bin is brilliant, I want one!

I used to have weird recurring one where I am being chased around some sort of underground cave system by the aliens from Aliens, all I have is a shotgun and Fox Mulder for company. I tried to look it up, but it wasn't listed.

Last time I saw it posted on here story was that it was abandoned in UAE - it was a story about the amount of folk just upping and leaving when they went bust... I've read that in the UAE, if you're unemployed for more than 6 months you have to leave the country, so supposedly there was hundreds of abandoned cars at the airports in 2008 where people just had to go back home after the financial crash. What if you're just a millionaire playboy? Do you have to just create your own business and make up a job? Crazy place. I'd be Supreme Allied Commander of Stutopia Enterprises.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Citroen BX on the transporter. Classic.

What are the spats in the first pic?

long, let's have a glimpse of the beast

Weird,I'm not seeing this across safari on phone, pad or mac. Worth trialling another browser if your on IE?

Cool man, sounds good

Welcome, white looks cool.

Tablet/phone access seems ok to me.

Not certain TBH, as a general rule I tend to replace bits that are shot or on the way out, ideally with something newer, better shinier and after market, but sometime just go OEM. I can only assume it's a rigidity thing from its construction, but not certain.

It's there to rattle on the exhaust mid section!

The podcasts are worth a listen too, but they can stray into geek territory, and are understandably USA centric. He must get lots of questions about going into detailing for yourself, so there's businessy stuff in there too. The little rants about keyboard warriors commenting on the youtube videos are funny.

Got mine off Zmanalex as it was rusted to s***, worse than the pic above. FYI, it goes into two end brackets (again these were rusted on mine) at each end, which are hidden by a plastic cover, you can just see one in the pic. Take those plastic covers off and have a look before you order anything, make sure you get everything ordered, before w brace arrives and you find you need extra bits to do the job. Alex told me to underseal it before it went on and it should out live the car. :lol. http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/310419032723?_lwgsi=y&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=64 Good luck repairing it though, you might get away with a clean up job and save a few.

We hit Dijon on the way down to Barca for the new year road trip, cool place. Didn't see many honeymoon hotels, the mercure looked ok from across the road, but not exactly romantic. However, there's a bar in the gringo central bit called Mac Callaghan, it's on Rue Bannelier I think, they give you free oysters when you have a few drinks (perfect for honeymoon) we also got a free pint for drinking more than the locals, we didn't even know there was a contest on Have fun on the trip, sounds ace.

Can't believe they squeezed it on! Can you please make a noise video?
