  1. Lovely car, and the most important thing is the owner loves it.
  2. Overtaken today by a very nice 370Z on the M25. 60 plate in gun metal (not sure colour name) Got a wave and waved back, though they may not have seen me diasappearing fast in their rear view mirror. First 370 I have seen when driving mine. Also saw a 52 plate orange 350Z parking up at Cuddington Golf Club. I was parked in the visitors car park so they probably didn't see me.
  3. Personally I would get a loan agreement drawn up by a Solicitor. They have standard ones so shouldn't cost much. I made a loan to a mate a few months ago, and the loan agreement went into pages. Belt and braces I imagine. You need to prove it is a loan, otherwise when the beneficiary dies the Revenue could deem it a gift, and it could be part of their estate for Inheritance Tax, as well as being not repayable to you. I suppose it would also depend on amounts. if you are talking tens of thousands definitely get a solicitor. If you are talking the odd thousand you need to take into account the solicitors fees more. When I made my loan, the beneficiary paid my solicitors fees.
  4. Looked good, but you were stationary so didn't get to hear in full glory.
  5. I have just bought one on your recommendation, and so far so good. Can't wait for my new garage to be built though.
  6. I always used Carlton rackets. Probably cost a bit more than Yonex though.
  7. Spotted, 12 plate I think, as I was driving to the football at Reading yesterday. Unfortunately I was in my wife's Honda Jazz as I was taxi driver to four season ticket holders. Looked good even in the pouring rain.
  8. I went this year on the Friday. Get there early to avoud the queues, oh and book the Super Car carpark. Plenty to see, but one day was enough for me. Absolutely knackered walking most of the day.
  9. Seem to remember Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond both say they were shifting into 5th instead of 3rd when driving a 350Z on Top Gear. Obviously have much better drivers on here.
  10. Looking at the picture of the official one, I notice that it actually says 370z on it. Part of the reason for the cover is also to avoid unwanted attention (we've had a car stolen from the address the car will be sitting at previously). Hmmmm decisions! Cheers for the help guys! I think the official one is an indoor cover. I will be looking for a cover shortly when my garage is pulled down and rebuilt. Halfords one looks good for what I need.
  11. Law of averages you must have had a couple of decent posts in that lot.
  12. Looks like your spirit level was a bit off when you did the roof.
  13. I have R1 VSH, which are my, my wifes and my daughters initials. Personal to me, but couldn't care less what anyone else thinks of it.
  14. Well that has made you popular with a lot 0f 370 owners. Mine is midnight blue for reference.
  15. Could you not find a faster Midnight Blue one ? Lovely car. Only gripe I have is the bloody awful hill start assistance. It is driving me bonkers.
  16. Two blondes walk into a building. You would have thought one of them would have seen it. The late great Tommy Cooper.
  17. Saw my first 370, apart from mine, coming down Castle Hill into Fanham on Saturday. It looked lovely in dark grey (not good with official colour names !) We were off to the football at Reading, but as there were four of us not in the Z. Match tomorrow night so might see a few more Z's going to the Jap Fest. Often see a 350 parked in Arborfield on the way to a game, and another one around Fleet.
  18. How do you know she was 40 ? My drive is a public footpath, so tend to get a lot of walkers stopping to chat. Trouble is I am a miserable old git, and wish they would jog on.
  19. I notice a lot of your pictures have a drink in them, and now this. Just an observation, and no conclusions drawn.
  20. I have just changed a UFO cd for an April Wine one. Does that count ?
  21. Have you ever tried to get a 20 year old daughter to do something for you. She did take some pics at F of S but I have still not seen them.
