Well done Wales - great try and well deserved win. *tears up French passport* They really need to pull their socks up for next year - pathetic playing, poor team work. Wales deserved a better game and win than that.

Apart from the booster seat I don't see anything wrong. We can't see the traffic or the conditions, and he wasn't going full bore in every gear. It was just a couple of bits of fast acceleration. I used to ask my father to do the same when I was a kid. I think it's a little unfair to castigate the dad for this.

They're new team is just so disjointed.

Yup. Let's see which French team turns up in the second half.

Being a Taff - I wasn't! Yes but you're lovely and looked after me really well when I visited you! (Good think I didn't say I was a Frog then else you might have put oil in my coffee! )

ALLEZ LES BLEUS!! :rant:

Fear my DIY.

haha! I wish I could drive like him!

I've done a bit of BJJ. I used to play a lot of rugby, to a reasonable standard, and obviously train functional strength at the gym, but doing something like Judo or BJJ it's amazing how even though I'm way above average strength it doesn't always equate to dominating your opponent. That's what I enjoyed about BJJ it's about grappling and using skill rather than all out strength. Don't get me wrong having strength helps ultimately, but it is how you apply the strength that's more important. I loved watching the Judo and TKD at the Olympics - so much stamina and control - great stuff. Learning for the sport and the discipline is the way to do it, doing it for anything else is plain stupid. I did some door work for a while and the amount of people that did "moves" to try and put you off or scare you is quite pathetic - it's a shame the wrong people learn it for the wrong reasons. Anyway, great to see people doing Martial Arts and exercise/sport - it's good! And if you can help defend yourself in a situation where you can't run away so much the better.

Me in Dublin

I can't recommend Sly enough if you're in that part of the world. Friendly, knows his stuff, good rates, nothing is ever too much trouble.

Yeah it was just a bit of fun tweaking the colours - I prefer the Azure "au naturelle" Thanks +1, and I like the cracked mirror Cracked mirror?! Oh you mean the door edge... I hope! All done by hand, but the original paintwork was in very good nick anyway.

She polishes up nicely for an old girl: Side: A bit of enhancement:

You waved at me I flashed my lights - I had just left seeing Sly - pretty sure you must have been going there, if not then, if you're on here, hi!

That's why I like motorbikes, ridiculous power to weight ratio. I've had bikes easily capable of doing 0-100 I'm under 8s. It's a huge rush.

I know it's an Irish thing but I'd be absolutely shocked if I heard my father speak like that!

Being a frog - I was rather happy with result

I can certainly advise that stock brakes are crap after a few hot laps, and I push the car hard (as Will370z and Brillo will testify). Definitely worth the upgrade, and certainly getting braided lines as well as better brake fluid too.

As long as it is rear wheel drive, has a good chassis (as good as the 350Z), a good gear box, is comfortable and has decent amount of torque and power then I'm all for it! If it can do the GT thing and be sporty at the same time, as they've done with the 350 - then it's all good.

I'm going for silenced decats - I had a listen they rasp a little but actually sounds awesome.

I'm a project manager in the engineering & construction industry currently working on rail - since I get free travel in London, I don't need a car, so a Zed is perfect as a weekend toy. My other half has a bashed but reliable Corolla which we use if we need 4-5 seats or more space.

Don't know if this works, but this is the video that my friend in the M3 recorded. I had Will370Z in with me at this time and on the straight towards the end let him pass - but some good footage of the Zed. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152114937050091

Brillo - it literally is just me sitting in the car - for some reason it didn't record the laps - which is annoying as it was one of the most entertaining trackday laps I've had in years. Truly gutted - sorry chaps.

Well the last track day I did I didn't sit so high and you could actually see out! I'll see what I have.

Here's my my moment of talent loss:
