Looks like you may need Chapter 8, page 5 - known as page 8-5. ...although it seems weird that your screen doesn't change to night-time automatically when your lights are switched on - I don't know anyone else with this issue. I may need to sit in the car and get to the bottom of it - just like you do!

Accidentally stumbled on this in Pistonheads... http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/skyline-r33/car-stolen----please-help-me-find-this-car/234739?isexperiment=true I know it was stolen in April, so it may be history by now, but you never know. Please delete thread if it's a duplicate.

I'll be the little white haired bloke with the slightly large belly lol.

I was thinking of getting there at 11am - I think that's the time they start - and staying for a bit. I just phoned The Goat and it does still happen - and it is this Sunday. Apparently the pub opens at 11am and the club members stay till about 2.30pm.

Why on earth is has thread become so complicated and convoluted? Press the ESP button and you will turn traction control off sufficiently to allow you to go sideways & do donuts. If your ESP is off, you will see an orange warning light on your dash. I used to drive with ESP off all the time in my 350's - great fun. If you have an import the button is VDC, not ESP, but it does the same thing.

Fair play to the seller. Maybe he just didn't realise how badly damaged it was when he bought it with those panels completely wrecked and smashed to bits and then effected that total bodge job on it. Maybe he just didn't even notice, poor fella. Give the poor guy a break. He might just be totally stupid and can't help it. I don't think that he's an evil, selfish rotten sod who would be quite happy to take money from a poor innocent buyer - surely nobody would stoop so low, would they? C'mon guys.

1st July? That's a Tuesday. You might be on your own mate

Well, I think I'm going up there on June 1st anyway - just to see what goes on. Anyone care to join me?

Take a look back at post 9 - you up for it?

I've plasti-dipped the front fangs on my 370. Really easy to use - and reversible. I'm going to spray the area of the rear bumper surrounding the tailpipes when I get round to it. Make sure you buy the real stuff, not a cheap poor imitation.

just googled it - http://www.thegoathe...assic-car-meet/ edit - and this... http://www.hertsclassiccarclub.co.uk/... and this - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=the+goat+hertford+heath+classic+car+meet&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=JgR&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvnsfd&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=_BMsUO-WK6qx0AWKj4HoDA&ved=0CEgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1843&bih=840 oh, and this...

Yes, I'm in Hertford. Although my current car's a 370, I've also owned 2 x 350's since 2004, so I'm not totally unfamiliar with them. I'd love to meet up some time. How about The Goat, Hertford Heath, on Sunday 1st June - apparently they have a lunchtime car thing on the 1st Sunday of every month, although I've never been to it. ps - the colour of my car is in my sig (that makes me even more observant than you )

Silver, with black front fangs, grey/silver Nismo wheels and a slightly nutty numberplate. Yours isn't black is it? I saw one once parked up near to Aldi's. - ooops I just saw your avatar. Clearly it's not black!

Yes - Not nice to be reminded that one is a nutter. Maybe you'll spot me one day - I use Aldi regularly - can't resist a bargain, that's why I buy Z's.

Let's hope it's him - I'm fed up with spotting people who don't exist

...Teso car park, Sunday 18th May, 3pm.

That's it - I've decided - I'm REBELLING. I REFUSE to remove my tax disc from my windscreen. I'm starting a campaign. This October I am KEEPING my tax disc in my windscreen - arrest me, I don't care - I might even make my own ones. Do I start a new thread?

I suppose you've removed the weight in the boot lid?

I like tax discs I shall miss the challenge of trying to tear the perforations perfectly, to make a perfect circle without cheating by using scissors. No lumps, no torn bits and no portions missing. Takes a while, but it is do-able. Yes - I'm OCD too. And what I don't understand is why you guys have got a demand for £500. Mine plopped through the letterbox today too - and it's for £485. Is it because I have a 370?

Yes - I too feel that someone may lock this thread, for reasons best known to themselves. I've witnessed that kind of action before on forums. So, before it's locked, let me just say how sad it is that there seem still to be racists and their defenders* all over the place in our fine country. I live in hope that one day they will see. *many of whom claim, "I am not a racist"!

Personally, I'm not debating currently - the polarised positions are already very well established - but I support anyone who wishes to debate. Sadly, as you can see, continued debate has lead to personal abuse and baiting from certain members of the 'Clarkson's not a racist' camp and I'm not stooping to that level. I'm just waiting for Ofcom's ruling. Ofcom don't have the vested interest that is clouding the BBC's judgement on the Burma comments. I hope you're not suggesting it's not a serious subject for debate, because it certainly is. Clarkson is the most influential character on the world's most popular car show. If he makes racist comments, it's serious - as he himself agrees in his apology. Surely until there is a resolution, the issue is still live. If you find it boring, why not read or do something else?

...Personalised number plate. No point in flashing - I was in my wife's Smart car

Well said! I'm sure you realise that I made this thread for a bit of a laugh. Inevitably, testosterone will rear its head from time to time on a sports car forum - I'm sure you know that already. It's clear to me (and many others) that your 'car credentials' are at least the equal of many users here. Finally, I enjoyed your phrase, "making yourself like a royal aresehole" - very succinct

.Yeah, go on then! Tell you what, let's make it interesting: £5 to a charity of your choice if he gets the boot over this in the next two weeks. The beeb wheels turn slowly. Make it 4 weeks, to let the outcry gain a head of steam and you're on. Edit - should we both have a veto over the other's charity, just in case you don't want me to tell you to give it to something totally radical and vice versa? Sounds like a plan *e-handshake* Only just caught up here. e-handshake it is then (although currently, if I were a neutral, I'd be backing you, because it seems like the beeb's currently suffering from another nasty outbreak of Savilitis, the main symptom of which is a weak will and lack of a backbone, caused by an overarching concern for profits. I may have given them more credit than they deserve - time will tell). Edit - I see he's safe now - he has Farrage and Gove in his corner.
