  1. Did you go down to South Africa to view it in the flesh?
  2. Or you can try the art of "drafting" behind lorries. Ive seen a few people do it. Might not be deliberate or maybe it is. Only attempt if you have clear vinyl wrap to avoid stonechips . Im sure you can get better MPG with less wind hitting the front of the car.
  3. people would rather buy that smoking banger and make money somehow as most of them are living on less than a pound a day in many countries. Sounds like a 10 percent market for those who can afford it. Obviously over time they will become more accessible to the rest of the population. By then there will be different laws on where you can go with them and taxes applied. It will be easier to take public transport or hail an autonomus 4 seater pod anyway Also the rear mounted motors where fitted to a 2019 Civic in US also. Powering the rear wheels. Worked really well. Hydrogen is still in the process. A few manufacturers are already working on this like BMW, Toyota, Mercedes but its still a costly process and a lack of infrastructure. BMW want to get a concept car X5 to production one day..Apparently they did this in 2005 with the 7 series??!! Just showing the possibilities
  4. its only £140 from April 2017 and £570 prior. Not sure if thats increased or not yet.
  5. yep short tails do the job. I had AAMs on mine. Nice car to go with roads up there
  6. https://www.motor1.com/news/369872/bmw-i-hydrogen-next-revealed/ I think other alternatives to pure electric have been sort since the mid 90s. Only issue right now is expense to produce the cars I respect the tech behind electric vehicles. Im still a young petrol head, besides ive driven a hybrid for more than a year. Ive done my bit for ultra low emissions lol
  7. Could be as simple as a loose connection. Better to check it before making any moves!
  8. The FT-1 looked amazing! Not sure what this is
  9. http://www.370zcoupe.com/TSB/1TQ12.PDF You can either go searching from places where they have removed it from another car https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-NISSAN-370Z-SAT-NAV-DISPLAY-SCREEN-28091-1BP0B/153253150817?_trkparms=aid%3D1110001%26algo%3DSPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160323102634%26meid%3D8b9782a5d329411f9379842983365a6f%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D303221715566%26itm%3D153253150817%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1 or A screen that needs coding and software applied. I guess youd want one pulled out of another car. Fingers crossed the same issue wont happen on the new screen. Suppose its better than paying £1200 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153253150817 Just call them up and check that even if its pulled from another car it doesnt require coding or programming as Nissan will charge for that. Theres no gaurantee that its just the screen. I would get someone at a car audio place to look at it before making any moves as these run off software and are preprogrammed. Nissan probably want to replace AV control unit as well. That isnt necessary if audio, heater etc still work as normal as far as I can see?! Where are you based?
  10. my brother broke down on the motorway 20 minutes after leaving a used car dealer. The guy came and recovered the car and we picked up the car the next day with a new alternator. Couldnt fault the guy really. The retailer dealt with it!
  11. I think its just the screen itself. A new TFT screen can be purchased for £99.00. Unless you can find a car electrician, car audio place or youre DIY person. That screen should be replaced. There was a minor recall in US on some models 2009-2013 I think. The symptoms were similar. Blank screen and only working on reverse.
  12. House buy, needed the deposit back. fortunately i didnt lose any value on the car so got a bit more back. That was december 2018. Now the dust has settled can start looking soon as weekend or occasional car.
  13. Yeah looking to get another in a few months hopefully, its less GT but those recaros make up for it. Very comfortable!
  14. The newer Aygo was a blast, found it funny when we took it for a run. Auto paddle shifts very jerky though
  15. Shame they dont make these anymore "Ultrac Sessanta Vredestein"
  16. Get a second car that costs £30 pound to tax and £20 a week on fuel lol. The problem is you want a second performance car on a budget. The second car is suppose to be ECO if youre trying to save. If not happy days!
  17. Looks slick. You going to do fitting of some parts as well?
  18. loool wow. Is everything free in Scotland. Government seem to be holding a lot of hands. Whos paying for that
  19. problem with these cars is the unnerving electric steering wheel which is said to feel artificial at motorway speed. They say to avoid models with a certain feature that tries to make adjustments sending the car left and right. Why couldn't they stick to a basic electric steering system like in the older japanese cars like the CRZ . Sometimes too much tech is a bad thing.
  20. A 2.4 pushing 240 hp and no torque dip would be good. Just the emissions part. Keep the weight 1200kg and under then you got a winner
  21. Off the top of my head More powerful brakes with braided lines from GTR, slightly better acceleration than GT Manual, tuned suspension with less bodyroll, recaro seats, nismo bodykit, lighter weight, lighter RAYs Alloys, Ballasts in the rear of the car according to a Nissan Tech for better balance, Lighweight Alcantara steering wheel, Nismo exhaust not much sound but apparently better than standard.
  22. I think the Taycan will hold value a lot better similar to their other premium models and they wont be that common due to the original price. BMW however are too common. I think after 3 years the Tesla will depreciate to £100,000. If thats the case then the Porsche will be thereabouts or a bit lower as the premium brand. Im not sure it will lose £50,000 over 3 years.
  23. Taycan Turbo S is not much cheaper at £120,000 without many options added. Only live once. So you drive it for 3 years and sell it im sure the value will still be around £100,000. Basing that off the old Tesla Roadster which is still valued at £90,000. That old inlaws chestnut LOL. Happy wife happy life.
