  1. Having really fancied a Scirocco for quite some time now I as hoping to have a little write up today with the other serious contenders. So I thought it might be worth going to see an R which popped up fairly locally, with a view to a test drive and seeing if I could make the leap from RWD Jap to FWD German. I've had real soft spot for these for ages and other than the drivetrain, they're exactly what I am after - newer, nicer interior, bit more refined and not that many about, I know looks are subjective, but I think they look spot on. Being 45 minutes drive each way I thought i'd ring ahead this morning and check it was in and I was ok to drive it. It was. Sorted. Arrived this afternoon. "Are you looking to part exchange that?" "Err... Not really, I'll be trying to selling it privately." "Good, we wouldn't part exchange that Nissan" "I haven't asked you to." "Are you looking at any other cars?" "Yes, it's quite a change from my current car, and obviously I'm not spending 15 grand without considering a few options." "You can only drive it if you don't have other cars to look at." "What?" "You can only drive it if you don't have other cars to look at." "What?" "You can only drive it if you don't have other cars to look at." "It would have been good if you'd told me this on the phone, before I drove 45 minutes to get here." "You can still have a look and I will get someone to start it for you in the car park" START IT UP! JUST FOR ME! IN THE CAR PARK! Great service at Global Automobiles Limited in Blackburn, they hadn't even bothered to mention the engine management light either. Judging by the battle the other customer was having to get some advisories from an MOT done before he purchased a Merc, I'm quite pleased to have established the level of customer care you get when spending 15 grand, up front, not when it's too late.
  2. Dropped by my tech's for a brew and a chat this morning, and saw this little gem in the car park. Not many of them in the UK, certainly not seen one in the flesh. Charming little thing IMO and I could easily imagine the fun of having one as a city car. So tiny and light it nearly blew away in the winter weather Sorry for the shortage of pics, but it was proper cold out. JDM as **** shame there's no V-TEC yo
  3. What's the world coming to? Saw this on Facebook, it's wrong on so many levels.
  4. Putting name and location (assuming photo submitter doesn't mind) are both great suggestions. i'll save them somewhere safe for next year. Thanks.
  5. Have you tried emailing KFC for their secret blend of herbs and spices too?
  6. Save some weight with these babies. https://www.pro-bolt.com/titanium-nissan-350z-02-06-strut-kit-hex-race-spec-1.html
  7. If you're going to look at it as well as drive it, get the coupe, it's lines are near perfect Though I must admit (as a coupe owner) when we pop out for a drive in the sunshine in Wales, I do kind of envy the ragtop gang and all that extra V6 noise. At least until they have to put the top up! Whatever anyone says, go with your heart not your head. PS - Just so you know, gunmetal is the fastest colour
  8. I think everyone has received their calendar, so for those of you who unwisely elected not to buy one - here's a look at what you're missing out on in 2017. Apologies for the less than perfect phone pics, but it's all I had handy. In case any one is wondering I don't have any more desk or wall calendars, sorry, they're all gone. For those that made it into the Wall calendar, congratulations, those that didn't make the Wall are in the Desktop alongside these twelve. Huge thank you to everyone who submitted photos for this year, we can't make the calendar without you.
  9. Was gonna say his all looks suspiciously professional (only done once, photos in focus) but then I saw the double post Cracking work
  10. The Last Man was beautifully shot, I wish there'd been a bit more to it, but still very interesting watch. I was googling to try and find the shoot location and came across this discussion with the Director http://www.tested.com/art/552821-making-gavin-rotherys-last-man/ I love that someone can make a short like this, with 99% genuine cinematic feel, using a DSLR!!!
  11. In for the fabrication goodness! This looks epic.
  12. Did you see them kicking these out for a cool grand at CES? That's about 800 clams profit per unit for you Doogy. https://www.cnet.com/uk/products/griffin-technology-connected-mirror/preview/
  13. Oh my, very nice! Apologies if I missed it, but where is it? How come you're selling up? GLWTS
  14. Pinned. Though usual disclaimers apply if you blow up your Zed. It's not our fault, it's just information.
  15. At least it's not that horror show Gripz crossover!
  16. I can't think of one bad performance he turned in. RIP
  17. Monaro?
  18. Isn't the quarter plastic?
  19. I'm not an expert but from detailed analysis on the forum, we've found. 1) Rip the Bose out and replace 2) Live happily ever after!
  20. Good luck getting back on track
