  1. Im currently looking for a BMW 118d.. 50mpg average with 60+ on the motorway, BMW build quality, handles well, still pulls well and you can get them mapped to act more like the 120d. Post 2008 is £30 a year tax.. PLUS RWD!
  2. Have seen 40mpg at 50mph on the motorway when I was running my spare.
  3. Driving sensibly with a bit of heavy footing I'm getting a 28/29/30 mpg average
  4. Looks pretty awesome actually
  5. ^ Just looking at your facebook page and realised that I think I met you breifly at one of last years BDC rounds as I was working there, I remember thinking to myself 'I don't usually like R33s..but I like that one'.

    Work

    I'm not sure if you're allowed to do this but im sure the mods will remove if not. Basicly I spend my time teaching people to drift and race on experience days. This is great and I work for a few schools. But as the race season comes to a close; so do the experience days. This wasn't too bad as I was doing some doubling work in a new film and that kept some money come in. However now thats over, I have maximum of one to two driving days a week and i'm struggling, bored and worst of all; having to sell the Z. Since I graduated this year i'm applying for graduate schemes left right and centre but nothing has come through just yet. So my question to you all is does anyone have any work? or know of anyone who needs another employee. Temp, part time, full time it doesn't matter. Just so I can try to avoid selling the Z and actually buy some christmas presents for people. I'm not going to produce my whole CV on here but: Im based in Horley, Surrey. I have a degree in Motorsport Technology with Management 2:1 Work experience includes a lot of driving, promotions, filming, modeling, working in a small office and working at a magazine. Ive also reshelled an RX7 and done all my own work to previous vehicles, drift and road so I should know my way around a car. I know this is random and a strange approach but hopefully everyone on the forum will understand what it would feel like to have to sell your Z. Thank you. Joe
  7. Surely the money you save DIY outweighs any losses you may make on resale. As long as everything is recorded. TBH with some of the writeups on here people could write FFSH - Full forum service history.
  8. That was a ton of smoke you were making from that 33 done well
  9. What's really good fun but hard work is doing rides around the slalom course in the Caterhams. (burning rubber and been a hooligan.!!) I'm speaking to the manager at the caterham events at the moment. Just waiting for him to get back to me with a driving interveiw date. Excited to get behind the wheel of one of them. Ive always wanted to be the guys doing it at Autosport lol.
  10. Ive luckily only had one in a fence but the stuff we do is a little lower speed. And the higher speed stuff we do at airfields with lots of run off. I cant say its the most fun when someone looses it in the atom at 60mph, youre just along for the ride!
  11. I expected it to be a little longer than that, but good read. I'm still umming and ahhing about it. Ive applied to some graduate schemes in unrelated fields and ive got 3/4 schools that I may get into to do some more teaching. At a bit of a junction at the moment career wise, it could go either way.
  12. Maybe I miss remembered then..Half right I suppose
