  1. also HR red lines at 7.5K which means 40mpg in 1st, and don't ask what 3rd redlines at... little technical correction too, its 313 ps not bhp. this confused me when i was learning about the 350 as i some places i'd see 313 bhp and others i'd see 308 bhp. it's actually 313 ps which = 308 bhp. Haha I knew someone was going to say this, what's 5bhp between friends And it's mph not mpg! ahahaha, touche and well spotted it doesn't mean anything really, i just remember it confusing me when i was looking for a zed as different ads would quote different numbers and that sort of discrepancy always worries me when it comes to building up trust in a 3rd party you've never met before

  3. try the free sites instead. i've found more fake profiles on paid for sites than i have on free sites. wasn't impressed with the paid sites anyway. i like pof because the user base is huge, and if you pay for the upgrade it's still cheaper than a paid site and you get all features. paid sites tend to charge extra for the advanced features! i also like OKCupid for the questions section, you can learn a lot about a potential match from those and i find there tends to be more properly filled in profiles on OKC than pof. pof has a lot of "ask me" profiles, which are my pet peeve I've only been using the apps on my phone at thr moment tinder and badoo which as you say you have to pay extra for features. But I think I may try a proper site as you have suggested ahh, i thought you meant the likes of match.com or other pay for sites. no experience with tinder or baboo but both pof and okc have apps. they are free to use and message and charge for extras like seeing if a message was read. match.com on the other hand is pay to message then pay even more to get read indicators! That sounds expensive lol might be cheaper to get hookers haha there is a good site for that too but yeah, i was not impressed with the pay for sites, so after my first month i cancelled and subbed up with pof instead for the bonus features. not that you need them mind, but i do like to see if a message was read or deleted. if you're gonna start somewhere start on pof. not the best of sites but by far the strongest user base

  6. erm, you could PM DAN@ADRIAN FLUX with your quote reference, then he can see you're a forum member and tie your 1K+ posts on this forum to the quote his team was working on with you.
  7. dating sites are a good place to meet people, the tricky part is finding the right person! different sites are good for different styles of searching too. tinder is very focused on appearance, more pics less text, while a more traditional site like pof or OKCupid encourage users to write a bit more about themselves. so it depends what your interested in really. i'm searching for a fellow geek so i've been scouring pof and OKC. so i don't know what to recommend for tinder, but here are some tips i've picked up along the way for normal dating sites fill in your profile (this will filter the wheat from the chaff, don't be the chaff) write a unique first message (while hi or ctrl+v can get a response womens inboxes are flooded with them, so a message that shows you've read their profile can boost your chances) don't compliment a womans looks initially (soooo hard not to accidentally sound creepy, so skip that subject entirely, she's gonna assume you find her attractive cos you sent a message in the first place) check your spelling (she won't know if that was 1 typo in a million or if you never bothered to learn english at school) if you're looking for a certain type of woman, don't be afraid to put the rest off. (i've had well rounded profiles to attract any woman, my current one is very geeky cos i'm looking for a geek) no reply means no interest, don't message again (all it takes is 1 jerk to start spouting abuse after a polite rejection to put women off saying thanks but no thanks. so if you didn't get a reply don't send a follow up message, you've got your answer already) make sure you have a pic with a smile (pro tip, put on a comedy sketch you love and then take a selfie. monty python gave my my first real smile in a selfie, no fake grim as i try to force a smile for the camera!) 1 pic of your face, 1 of your body (clothed! also outside in daylight is good to aim for) don't send dick pics! or get sexual with the chat (my friend is constantly complaining about how she was enjoying a nice convo with a guy then he put her off by trying to talk about sex) well i hope that helps a few, but like i said some of it probably doesn't apply to tinder
  8. Motorway is 6th gear, but at slower speeds I like to stay close to 2K when cruising. Plenty of grunt to change speed in traffic, and always the option to drop a gear if I want her to pull hard.
  9. I've never really stuck with names for cars, but if I had to it would be Nessy, cos Nessy wanted treeee fiddy.
  10. Are you looking over the whole country? I did kent to wales for mine and have seen a few people since then go from scotland to south england too! She's well worth the travel
  11. Mine has 100 k and there are some bits to sort out. Nothing I haven't had on other old cars though. The engine was designed to do 200k so Nissan have done their best to make a solid car. The clutch will probably need replacing at that age if it hasn't already been done. Also check oil pressure is high on the guage. For some it idles at 30 psi but I think minimum is about 15. What area are you based in? Can be good to take the one you buy to an expert for a service and once over.
  12. Saw a black van with bright green bits on the m6 northbound during rush hour today. It stood out like a sore thumb. Can't be that many people with a van like that
  13. welcome I didn't expect to upload an Audi pic into Nissan forum, but there you go. I hope the mods don't delete this post The Audi was stolen and used in several thefts I believe. The 350z definitely feels more nimble, whether it would actually match the rs4 in a straight line I doubt it. But that hardly matters, what matters is the grin on your face when driving it we're all petrol heads here, and this is the hi, hello section not a specific zed section so it's all good
  14. Hola Have a look about for a stickied thread about Junction 17, it's worth going in with your eyes open as their sales pitch doesn't appear to match their follow through. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/95950-junction-17-cars-peterborough-a-review-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/ My personal take from that would be to treat them like a private seller, ie buy the car as seen with the risk that involves. Don't forget to do your own HPI check too. This one or the next though, the 350Z is a treat to drive
  15. I was riding the rush hour wave southbound on the M1 last week, so the road was nice and clear but I knew what was brewing up behind me. Just past a service station I see a backpacker walking down the hard shoulder, I think holy crap he's gonna get himself killed when they turn that into a live lane in a few minutes time! So I pull over, he's a young lad from europe and had no idea the hard shoulder turns into a live lane during rush hour. As luck would have it not only am I going his way on the M1 but he's also heading do the docks in Dover. I know there are some wrong uns out there, but you can meet them in any part of your daily life. So when the timing is right I do pull over to help.
  16. Hi All, I'm looking for a pair of front suspension top arms for my 350Z. Willing to collect from Kent or pay delivery for further out. That said I do drive all over the place for work so may be able to collect from further away, but that may take a while to arrange. Fingers crossed someone has them, once my wheels are at the right angle I can get some proper rubber on!
  17. that's the cops, they are trying to get you to stop
  18. another vote for zmanalex, he gave me the best quote by far on that!
  19. You've got it all back to front. You didn't chose him, he chose you! This is where we knew he was going to live with you: Now I have no idea how they know, but sometimes a cat does just know who his next pet human will be. There is something very special about being chosen like that As for who's house it is, I'll let you work that one out as the days go past
  20. My fuel gage has never gone up to full since getting her a month ago. This fix was on the list of bits and bobs that need to be sorted but I thought I'd give the fuel cleaner a go. I picked up the 4 pack box for a tenner at halfords and filled my tank before the car was due to sit idle for a few days. It didn't rise to the top over that time but where it would give the low fuel light when at 1/4 tank this time it got all the way to the red line before the light came on. Got 380 miles out of that tank When I filled up it shot right up to the top. I expect it still isn't quite there yet but that was only after one tank's worth of treatment. The 2nd treatment is already in and depending on how that goes I might do more or leave it as is. Will be interesting to see how long it lasts.
  21. not long enough to just hang it out the window? sorry, but someone had to crack that joke No where near, unfortunately í ½í¸„ time to pack some garden hose in the glove box then
  22. Worked a charm this morning, thanks! I've never these snazzy features on a car before glad to hear it worked
