  1. Why ........... although it's each to their own
  2. ^^^ People are just rude Growing up I was taught the importance of please & thank you and what I consider common courtesy but unfortunately we're not all the same
  3. Agreed, driver behaviour is appalling for a high percentage of those on the road, I struggle at times to understand how some people managed to even get a licence
  4. Hi & Budget of 9k should give you plenty of choice Good luck with the search
  5. Just googled this, Q: When was the 70 mph motorway speed limit introduced in Britain? A: The 70 mph National Speed Limit was introduced as a temporary measure in December 1965. It is often blamed on Barbara Castle, but at the time the Minister of Transport was Tom Fraser. The reason given was a spate of serious accidents in foggy conditions, but it is often claimed that the MoT had been alarmed by AC Cars testing their latest Cobra on the M1 at speeds up to 180 mph. It was confirmed as a permanent limit in 1967, by which time Barbara Castle (a non-driver) had become Minister of Transport.There was surprisingly little debate at the time: the fact that the average family car of the time could only just exceed 70 mph perhaps had something to do with this. It should be noted that this limit applied to all previously "derestricted" roads, not only motorways. All rural roads in the Isle of Man (including most of the famous TT course) remain genuinely derestricted, as a matter of interest. I still think it's out dated and we should follow suit with the autobahn
  6. A high percentage of drivers don't stick to 70 on the motorway, I was cruising at 70'ish today and was being overtaken almost constantly by motorists going in excess of 80+ so even if 60mph limit was introduced it wouldn't slow people down, perhaps it would generate more cash for the greedy government by way of more speeding fines IMO 70mph motorway limit is outdated anyway it was introduced back in the 1970s when most cars were probably only just capable of reaching that speed and had milk bottle top brakes..... The stopping distances of modern cars are much much less than when the motorway limit was introduced back in the 70's so with the more efficient cars of today plus the fact there are more motorways with more lanes we should follow suit of the German autobahn and up the limit, just my opinion
  7. Only had my zed about 9 months so still in honeymoon period but if I was to upgrade if I could afford it I'd have a jaguar f type .... 2 seats, wind in my hair (if I had any) and that noise mmmm
  8. Only mods so far have been cosmetic, when I've got her looking how I want then I'll start on tuning So far I've had lowering springs & spacers, custom exhaust, seibon cf bonnet, roof wrapped (soon to be painted as I'm not 100% happy with the wrap) tints, wheels powder coated and a couple of interior bits upgraded, lots to do to finish the look I'm after then it's on to tuning..... not sure what route yet but when the time comes I'll be doing plenty of research and asking lots of questions
  9. mmmmmm carbon Looks especially good against grey/silver cars IMO
  10. Looking very nice, I see you're keen on carbon from your list, keep us posted That to do list will keep on growing, once you start there's no turning back
  11. Looks mean ....and what a bargain
  12. Just read this thread, reminded me of this Scalextric 350z drift car, not as good as a full size one but still holds a good spot in my toy box
  13. Just about 9 months and still get that big daft grin on my face like I did on my test drive every time I drive her
