About getting old, is, it's cheaper to insure the Z than tax it, that's one years NCB on a 05 model Also,I have 4 motorbikes insured that cost the same as the tax on the Z Rob

Nice looking car Rob

Interesting reading this thread

Black looks brilliant new, my wife's black juke looks @*!# now and it's only 3 years old, never had a black car/bike that looks god in direct sunlight, that's why I got a silver one

That looks great, I've had my roadster a year now and it's now got a stubby aerial , still looks and sounds good though

Looking to get rid of the standard Nissan cd and cassette, lol set up on my 05 none gt roadster Any recommendation's on a reasonably priced entertainment system replacement that aint going to break the bank and a easy swap over Cheers Rob

@ nowhereboy More a statement fact mate Rob

Never had a type R, don't know or care about performance Compared to my zed it's a ****ing ugly hatch, Rob

Tagging on to this topic, I noticed tonight that I have a slight judder through the steering wheel and through the brake pedal now. I have newish dics and pads (less than 1000 miles) tyres are virtually new, all balanced and 4 wheel alignment, I recently had the front wheels off to clean areas around the brake pipes, I torqued them back up properly and re torqued again after about 50 miles. Also, it feels as if the car moves very slight to the left or right when braking hard, what could this be, cheers Rob

Hi mileage doesn't mean it's a no go area, as said overall condition/history is a good indicator. Be careful though, what may appear to be a cheap car to start with will can become a "project" and we all now that projects never come in on budget

I presume he means where the roof folds into when it's down I have not used it, I have a qashqai for carrying things Rob

Am I number 1 mod bloke I have a stubby aerial on the roadster and that's your lot Rob

38k on a 05 plate Rob

Out in mine yesterday, pulled over for a fag, young lad and his dad came over to ask about it, told them it was a proper mans car, not a TT, let the young lad sit in it and told his dad he could have it for 10k They loved the sound when I fired her up Pity it wasn't a young lass, could have been talked into 9k Rob

Right My stepson is getting a little corsa, at the moment he hasn't passed his test, taking it in a couple of months, whats the best route to go with on the insurance Cheers Rob

Never had a dream car, fancied a soft top, the Z ticked the boxes, simples Rob

Good banter folks All about choices though, what ticks the right boxes at the right time I must be getting old, hot hatches just don't do it for me, ugly boxes most of them (imo) As for performance, I would suggest those who have trackday/racing experience would be best to listen to, thinking you are the dogs danglies on the local A or B road is totally different to BEING quick on a track Rob

Oh dear, I'll try and remember them all Austin allegro Austin Avenger 1.6 escort 1.6 capri 2.0 cortina 2.8 capri SRI Cavalier 1.6 cavalier 4 door 1.6 cavalier again Rover 820 Ford probe Ford cougar 2.0 vectra 1.6 primara 1.6 primara 1.6 focus qashqai qashqai qashqai 350z Got to be some I forgot Rob

They are @*!# cars The badge on the front tells you that Rob

Popped to Tesco last night with the good lady in the 350, nice evening top down, parked up, no car anywhere close to mine,return to the car 15 mins later and it's surrounded by other cars Now why is this always the case, especially as there was loads of spaces everywhere They must have wanted to be close to the gorgeous roadster Rob

Was there input the dipstick design

I have not had any issues with mine at all Don't normally use it for work, got the trusty Qashqai for that, just came to work in it today and the rain was fecking biblical, if it was gonna leak it would have today Rob

That after an almighty downpour this morning, the roadster don't leak Rob

Oh @*!#, I sold them to cheap. Seriously, yeh, I could have asked more for them, but, I put them on to sell at a price I knew they would go quickly, I'm happy with £200 notes and someone will get a nice set of wheels Too many folk advertise stuff in dreamword with their prices, what's the point Rob

Thanks to the folk who have messaged me and shown interest Sold, awaiting collection and payment Cheers Rob
