Not a particularly hard job on the drive at home

Absolutely lovely car, but I'm not going to lie, that £200k (+/-) would make a lovely house upgrade instead of something which will depreciate like a stone

I have a Jag ... not impressed Mods: can you sticky this comment please Good luck on the hunt!! Just to be clear on why I not impressed 1. Expensive chromed alloys are corroding 2. Body work at bottom of doors is corroding 3. Back window has cracked during my ownership (lack of torsional rigidity ?) 4. Local Jaguar dealership tried to sell me a £500 service when only a £200 service was required to keep the service history up to date 5. Advisory after service suggested there was a leak on the power steering which could be fixed for £400+ ... my local garage fixed the 'leak' for £30 6. I asked for the car not to be cleaned but they said they would valet the inside as a complimentary part of the service ... when I arrived to pick the car up this had not been done and they asked if I could wait an hour for this to be done ... I didn't 7. Local Jaguar dealership did not deal with any of the above issues and suggested that I travel 40+ miles to get the car fixed by a fully competent Jaguar dealership which dealership? I've got a friend who is pretty senior down south, can get a rocket up their bottom for you if it's in the south(ish) area.

My mrs' mum owns the new golf r, it sounds pretty nice from the outside. The new jags don't have ipad dashes. The new XE drove like a dream, would highly recommend one, they start at 24k for a basic one! Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk this why your selling you going to join Team M&s in there jags/mercs and bmws Trust me, I'm not can't afford a new jag and the ones from the Ford era aren't worth it lol.

Slightly damaged 350z pre facelift lip going cheap

still available, ebay sale fell through. Send me a pm if you'd like it -
Not forgetting that grooved help clean the pads and offer better bite and can offer more friction than solid discs, if we are talking physics of course The reason most road car discs are solid is for quieter operation, absolutely nothing to do with stopping power or distance I thought the reason was the same as most things, solid discs are cheaper to make and provide acceptable stopping power. I'm now not that keen on drilled discs and have seen discs crack around the holes when they get hot. ideally any holes need to have been cast in the disc in the first place, rather than drilled out afterwards. Its not unknown, usually quality discs will not suffer with this I've seen it on mercedes carbon ceramic discs. grooved and drilled are a millionty times better though, that's agreed!

Name me one track that allows over/undertaking at the entrance to bends though? Its pretty obvious from his position the Atom was going for the racing line before being cut up. That didnt look like a braking zone, looked like accelerating and the atom was moving out to allow the pass. He spoke with the Atom driver and even shared contact details, so dont think the Atom driver found the pass dangerous. I dont know that track Yes, he has and has had some great cars..... 3x R35 GTRs (all sold), M spec R34 GTR, R32 GTR (running a fair amount of power), this "thing" and there is another project on briskoda Does he still have the citigo?

guessing the muppit didn't realise the 2jz was available in lots of other cars than his precision supra Don't get picky about Supras....or I have to remind you where the VQ engine came from. a nissan people carrier haha I don't think there is anyone here that nieave. and who is Clarkson The VQ engine made its debut as a humble 2lt in this, Few! You're forgiven, and I ask for forgiveness Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

this made me laugh people at trax walking past going shame they don't know there cars have Renault engines Interesting Fact Renaultsport Clio 172/182/197 shares its platform with the micra and cube There's a few car "facts" which irritate me, most of them are comments made on top gear which are plain wrong, however because 90% of the people who watch(ed?) it know basically nothing about cars they believe it. The other main one is "New Ford Mustangs still have leaf springs on the rear" no. no they don't.

:nono: VQ engine was developed by Nissan way before it was used in any renaults. Let me guess, Mr Clarkson taught you that the 350z engine was made by renault #TopGearTaughtMeEverythingIDontKnowAboutCars

BOC will rent you a large bottle of CO2 for around £8 a month I believe, refill charge isn't much either.

There's an inspection hole, which if you use an endoscope or something similar you could check the arm for a breakage. However, more likely to be as above...

did these people like Freestyler? They did indeed!!

I WAS personal friends of some people who owned a pretty successful all marques forum and they used to charge companies £500 a year to be traders. Membership was free although you could pay £10 a year to be a "premium" member which meant you got a membership card, a pretty poor t-shirt, a different avatar and you could post in the "premium" members section. Funnily enough only about 2 people out of 5000 odd members took the offer up. The forum went downhill when facebook groups started to take over as there wasn't the knowledge to help with problems like a specific owners forum. Went super downhill when it turned out they weren't working and were using forum money to have a great life and were claiming unemployment benefits too...

knew I recognised it! I won't spoil for other people though as your clue is good!

They're pretty common engines in the toyota world, they're in the supra, soarer, chaser, cressida and a few lexus' too, I'm sure there's other cars they were in as well
