  1. Spoke to one Cayman GTS owner who said the MX5 is the best sports car at the moment. I think it can only accommodate people who are 5'11 or less
  2. Still not seen any on the road. Ive seen it in the flesh. Its quite wide. Its growing on me. The back definitely looks better than the front. The 4 pot sounds decent. Apparently the base 2 liter isnt powerful enough for some. I dont think the 40i justifies the extra 10-20k. But its much quicker. Not as quick as the Supra which some say has 370hp stock. Im not a fan of electric steering I prefer hydraulic. What you guy think? prices are from £30k upwards, but some ex demo Z40i with few miles are around £40,000. At that price with all the tech hmm. Then again how many 2 seaters are selling right now lol. I see further price drops.
  3. yea had lots of negativity with the 350Z. Boyracers which ive had to tell off sternly for driving like tits around me. Had old ladies playacting and being dramatic, people driving on the opposite side of the road to prove a point and overtake. Try to ignore them. Dont give them the attention they are seeking. With the Nismo the kids appreciated it more. So no issues there. Give them a thumbs up or a rev. So not all bad. Also found people are more likely to try and start something by tailgaiting or behaving erratically. I had a guy tailgating in a Golf GTi obviously remapped. I gave him the dirtiest look when he pulled up beside me. Just do you, dont get out the car. It may be that you need to pull over and let them **** off and you can get back to driving in peace. Ive had to do this a few times. For some reason they just sit there till I wave then past.
  4. resonated short tails sound better than some full systems
  5. Winter is the best time and prices are usually lower. Some dealers are forced to lower their prices with cars sitting on their lot for weeks to months. There was a mk1 Nismo with 72,000 miles for 17k sat for 6 months through winter as well as a 370z convertible that was 7 months. I dont think dealers make quick money of these. Most are taken in part exchange probably. Some do get lucky like my old car sold the same weekend it was put up for the same price i bought it 14k miles earlier lol If you can wait its only 3-4 months. Or just keep looking, summers practically over in 4-8 weeks!
  6. white calipers give it a premium look. Black wheels are nice and go well with the calipers. Roof spoiler is a good addition
  7. The roadtax on post 17 370Z are £140 lol. There have been low mileage 370Z Convertibles sat on Autotrader for few weeks in the past worth waiting for one to come up. Right now they are probably going very quickly.
  8. my brother managed to get a lifetime garaged 37,000 mile 2004 350z from Glasgow from a elder guy who owned a few cars including 911. For around £5600. You may have to travel and be patient to find a clean example. Right now a similar car and similar year will set you £7000-£8000 pounds. But its more about who owns it and whats been done to it. Condition over mileage. Fewer owners the better Average price being £6000. But which version are you looking for DE, DE Revup or HR?
  9. nice although I had this in white. Ive seen black in the flesh with short tails. The complete package for me. Very nice
  10. Why not vs the Zupra, 718, Alpine, Cayman and M2. Surely worth looking at if it was realistic
  11. 313 hp vs 276 im sure theres a bit more poke at the top end. The HR gives a GT 370 a good run. Depends how content you are really. Some DE are coming of age now and rust might be an issue. But there are some well taken care of and sealed underneath. 350 is somewhat forgiving on fuel. The 370s are thirstier but can be decent on the motorway on a long run
  12. I met some people from Essex at ace cafe London two months back. Be good to meet up in future at bluewater or somewhere local.
  13. holy thread revival Batman! I heard the newer ones are smoother. As in the HR. Only thing to look out for is oil gallery gasket/ oil pressure etc The 370 is more spacious although more thirsty. Z4 a bit cramped. Look for a fresh 2007-2008 HR id say
  14. The soundtrack was awesome. I hope they will dive back to the 80s for this
  15. lol...importing is an option. But some guy listing his at £35,000 had me laughing my head off
  16. i have a feeling it will be around £60,000-£70,000 Looks wise it looks good. I rather this than a 4 pot.
  17. What do you guys think? Ive seen them listed at £15,000. My brother saw one at £12995 and I saw one at £35,000. Obviously right now there is a lot of hype due to the new one. Do you think a non modified stock Twin Turbo Supra will go up by a lot once the new one has been out for a few years ? Nostalgia effect maybe. I know some people think they are vastly overrated and can never be compared to cars like the R34 which is now as you know worth around £55,000+
  18. Boys be boys and girls be girls. Be careful now.... If it doesn't matter which orientation he ends up being. Then you might as well forget about it and stick the kettle on. ps just being funny no offence!
  19. Unfortunately no matter the data presented or evidence for its need for inclusion into the education system. Certain people especially religious people will never accept it. So ignorance if thats what its called will remain. Alternatively they can always take their kids out of school or move countries. They'll either have to allow their kids to learn the hard way or provide home tutoring or move. Looks like kids and parents dont have a choice in this matter. It was nice being in school and not having to learn this as part of the curriculum. We know it exists as an adult now I mind my own business. So studying it may or may not change peoples opinions on the topic.
  20. I was about to watch the BBC Panorama Documentary on this topic and the protests yesterday and got distracted. Might watch it tonight In Turkey there was a guy who was with a group of girls in our huge entourage. He came up to me and a mate and said you guys never came to say hi, I know why. Its because im Gay I know. I said its nothing to do with that. But made us feel @*!# for it. like we were discriminatory. Ah well. I guess we should start accepting and liking everything and everybody so we dont offend.
  21. owning a car in Singapore is very expensive. The cars cost 2-3 times as much due to high taxation. You have to be well off to own a zed there. By then you probably arent looking at zeds anymore. Lots of GTRs there though
  22. if the genitals are female they would go to a female prison. I cant see a man turned woman going to male prison post op lol
  23. maybe gender studies is an attempt by the government to raise awareness and acceptance or reduce bullying and violence against a group that has long been on the outside of society. Only time will tell if it has made a difference or caused more anger and an increase in right winged views. It can have a reverse effect as well unfortunately.
