are pins necessary for a carbon bonnet? I've got one but never even thought about pins...

oh an actual touch that I love... the design nods to the original 240, from overall shape to the beautiful dash cluster all directed at the driver.

the fact it makes me giggle like a little girl when I put my foot down, not exactly a 'touch' but it's still epic

I'd suggest these are fairly exceptional figs unless the price of them has moved since 2014? I spent a very long time looking for a Z and found nothing even close to what you're saying, anything around the 4/4.5k mark had sky high mileage, lack of history, shocking bodywork, cat D/C or something equally unattractive

Yup Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk where do you get replacement covers from?

Then get done for possession when they find it. even if he doesn't get one for possession it's unlikely they'd let him keep it...

is it possible to replace the plastic covers? i.e. get rid of the ones with holes for controls and replace with blank ones?

felt like it should be an ad for a volvo... not even close to this one

[/quote] For all sorts of liability reasons related to work (may constitute giving advice, breaching fca regs for my approval blah blah - regardless of what the media sometimes suggests it is an incredibly regulated industry, partly why I don't deal for myself) I can't specifically say stocks or areas to look into However - if you decide that equity investing/buying shares is what you want to do I'd say try and look at businesses long term, the trends in those industries, competitors and why the one you're buying is better and make sure you keep up to date with what's going on. There are sites where you can build a 'portfolio' (basically a list of stocks you're interested in - some sites do proper model portfolios too) and they will provide you with related news/company announcements etc when they are released which helps keep on top of what has been going on and whether things have changed. also never be afraid to lock in losses or gains, sometimes you have to accept that you made a bad choice or things didn't play out as expected and take the hit, much better than chasing to the bottom - example: http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/CHK:US you buy in April last year at around 15 after it's fallen, it drops further to 10 as oil price continues to collapse, you can take a 33% hit, not very nice, or see if you can recover some of that...it's now less than 4 having had a fairly consistent drop. also...diversify! don't pile all your stuff into one stock or industry.

[/quote] christ don't tell my boss otherwise I'll be out of a job some basic bits of advice: don't make the assumption that because something has fallen it is going to bounce don't expect to be doubling/tripling your money in a short time period assuming you're investing in proper markets, look long term Be very careful if you decide to invest in things where you can be liable for more than the initial investment, this also sort of applies to short positions and as already mentioned above, don't play with money you can't afford to lose a decent chunk of

I'm going to jump on the cynical bandwagon... Always wary of 'mot deals' - would rather pay full price and know that they'll go round it truthfully rather than charge £20 for an mot and then find things wrong to fail it on. my gf was once charged £20 to set the headlight aim?! used to work in a garage when I was a student and if aim was out it was just adjusted there and then FOC.

"No, it'll become a source of engines for kit cars with the rest scrapped, like the 350" I don't think I've ever come across a 350z engined kit car?

£7k for a 109k roadster with a shafted roof from a sh!t dealer.... it's a no brainer to me. I paid less than that for less than half that mileage. Be patient, get something better, don't rush into buying you'll just end up kicking yourself

they do ramp hire too right? You don't happen to know if it's a hire ramp & tools place or just the ramp do you? Prefer to do consumables myself but limited with space and tools down South!

look I was pressed for time, it was a glance at the first photo and copy/paste, I accept that a real 911 has a nice firm roof, a manual box and arguably an air cooled engine...

noooo! that'll be c£35k right? tell him to get his head straight and get a second hand, lower mileage, far superior car! http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/audi/rs4/a-truly-exceptional-rs4-saloon-with-only-13000-miles/4014945?v=b http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/bmw/e90-m3-07-13/bmw-m3-4-0-v8/4821628?v=b http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/porsche/911-carrera-997/porsche-911-997-carrera-4s-tiptronic-s-convertible-serviced-only-200-miles-ago-by-porsche-2006/4370862?v=b (i know - it's a convertible, not a proper 911 but still...) http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/aston-martin/v8-vantage-coupe/aston-martin-vantage-2dr-4-3-huge-spec--stunning-looks/5133271?v=b

depends if your weekends involve dragging mx bikes or mountain bikes around! or other such sports where lots of space for kit is needed, then an rs6 would be the perfect weekend car! Would love one as a not so sensible sensible car..

maybe mention to the dealer you're going down that route to so he doesn't just think you're accepting him withholding £1k...the cheeky sh!t

2 words: leaf springs never been a huge fan of the american muscle stuff. I can appreciate it but it's just too...American. and who wants that?! Some people wouldnt give you tuppence for "jap crap" it takes all sorts to make a world , I class myself as a petrolhead and can find something to like in pretty much any car absolutely. If I had a bottomless money pit and a very big garage there would definitely be one in there. just wouldn't be top of the list...or middle... do quite like the old Corvette stingrays though

not a bad shout at all! I love the shape of the T350's and the interiors are just mental. I know bits will fall off it randomly and parts are probably not going to be the easiest to get but the shape! used to be able to pick these up for £17-20k but they've started edging up... Love the big brother too, side exit exhaust? perfection

noooo! everyday you didn't drive it you'd look at it and think 'oh god I bought a Vauxhall'

996 turbo, can be used everyday, don't pay the ridiculous service/running fees of the exotics (plus far cheaper to buy), so much more interesting than a GTR and the price of the 996's is only going one way so it'd be an investment as well. alternatively a 993 carrera for similar reasons but I suspect I'd struggle to find a decent example for £35k
