  1. I wonder what the price is going to be
  2. Crazy, neighbours must have been giving evils! Problem with smaller engined cars you need to adjust your driving and pre plan steep climbs and downshifts. Just different experience. Then getting up to speed on a flat you realise what your missing. Power!
  3. Its crazy. Alpine at 51k....cant see it, especially on a reworked Megane Engine Not a lot for many people. Ill stick with getting a 370Z instead. This car has a terrible range. A couple of accelerations from the lights and youl need a recharge. The LEAF has a better range. This just looks better. Although the design is nice 718 at £60,000 well what can I say.
  4. if youre in Scotland there are some zeds doing the nc500. The thread can be found in the meets section
  5. Well the LEAF is around £21,000 -£36,000 for highest spec. Thats after £4500 government grant! Well yes it is expensive but thats the way things are going. I dont think this will be made in UK
  6. Welcome to the forums. Nice Z. Love a white Z. Best colour for it imo. 2018/19?
  7. Close to final version. Honda want to release this year! Like the design! Rear wheel drive, 4 seater and battery under the rear of the car. up to 120 mile range. Lets see how it performs and final price under £40k I think the leaf is around £33k Now translate that to the next gen Civic and youre onto something! I also think the model 3 will be a hit when it comes. Good time to give electric a go?!
  8. Band D - you will be fined between 200% and 300% of your weekly income. Band E - you will be fined between 300% and 500% of your weekly income. Band F - you will be fined between 500% and 700% of your weekly income. "youre screwed mate"
  9. They seem to suffer the same problem as Nigeria. Advisory speed limits written the highway code. No sign posted or enforced via camera. But to be honest south africa are more organised on that front. Its at police discretion to decide if you were speeding or not. Maybe you can pay them off depending on who it is lol. The cameras will be hard to enforce if people who have new cars are driving around without plates which can happen in Nigeria. I dont know about South Africa. The whole ANPR network and system isnt quite there in some countries like the UK. Theyll get there eventually lol
  10. Hes effed. Hes looking at a 1-2 year ban to set make an example out of him. Never heard of anyone "driver" their car. Why is the person posting putting an angry emoji? Hes never sped before right? The "clear" conditions and "no traffic or pedestrians" wont make a difference in this scenario. Sports car? Assumed arrogance to speed and do what he wants. The books going to be thrown at him. Remorse wont matter. Its not 101 in a 70 on a clear day with no traffic. The categories A B C are for within reasonable but realistic speeds. Their are also hidden categories D E F and beyond and is at judges discretion. The law expert that sits in front of the judge will probably advise the 3 stooges that this is beyond anything they have dealt with. They will need extended time to discuss. It wont be a category F. Its beyond that lol. Categories/Bands. Band F being 120 -130 MPH. Good luck to the person. Not even God can save him from a steep sentence. He'll probably be hit with £2500 fine the full wack. if his wages are over 1400 per week! 175% of weekly wage.
  11. Saw that it went viral on youtube. Didnt the guy lose both legs? Also he was switching lanes from 1st to 3rd lane at one and spun out. Video was captured by midnight club crew on a bridge
  12. Very Nice. Waiting for my numbers to come up! Then I can do what someone in the UK did. Pay silly money for a non production car from Nissan
  13. LOL no way. I know what you mean as Ive lived there for 2 years. They definitely cant use that material. Similar to the concrete on certain sections of the M25. But I doubt they would ever use soft british style tarmac. At the moment those two routes are rated 65 MPH I think. It took my brother a whole day morning till night to return to San Francisco from LA. 8+ hours driving. With an unlimited motorway could probably do it in 4 hours
  14. https://jalopnik.com/a-california-bill-aims-to-create-the-unlimited-speed-am-1832754745 Proposed Route 5 and Route 99 LA to Sacremento to San francisco with 4 lane Autobahn Freeway. As a rail link will take too long and cost too much to build. It would add two unrestricted lanes to both highways. Also proposed a 100 MPH speed limit on certain sections. Some debate over the maintenance of a very flat motorway similar to the autobahn. This is basically a 382 mile Route!
  15. Hopefully will be there with my brothers 350z. White Nismo gone! Last year was a decent turn out. The weather was perfect. Wish a few more showed up. A few did drive by but didnt come in
  16. Good result. maybe those numbers will come through and you wont be terraced or neighbouring anyone too closely!
  17. Im wanting to do the road trip to scotland next year. They say April is best time to avoid huge amount of tourists. But would be a nice addition for the UK initially! The write ups on the site for the south of england/scotland road trips are quite good. Just reading it now
  18. Itll be a nice addition to add Guided Tour or Road Trips similar to www.petrolhead.tours. This is a nice start. Looking for an alternative to them as they are pricey
  19. We left it. Car was not in great condition. The guy did nothing to help. AC not working, brake pads not fitted properly, window fault, leaking front shocks from 2017, heated seats faulty, leaking rocker, noisy clutch plus front crash repair although hpi clear. Someone did a botch job with repair Didnt want to know, got defensive tried talking at me. For some crazy reason we were still willing to see if he could sort one or two issues at least. Although he promised to call us on Monday he already emailed us claiming he sold it the very same day. Now my brother has been put off by the experience and says he,ll stick with what hes got. Cant blame him. Rest is history.
  20. I had misfiring on my civic back in the day. The car misfired a lot less filling up at bp than it did at Tesco (Esso). Unleaded 95 I did go there for 99 momentum on both zeds. No problems at all.
  21. To repair the rust properly as in cut and put new metal and seal. Do you know roughly how much? I might be interested myself. Also do you have receipts for the service parts since its not in the book?
  22. okay, ill check with him today. See if hes still looking. I would ask more questions but best to find out what he wants to do Thanks
  23. nope not far, lets see if my brother hasnt been put off by the other one. Yeah we got into an argument with the guy. He didnt know the car had a frontal crash. Kept going on about hpi. And a guy coming from leighton buzzard.....i was like a million people can come. I already spotted somethings before the mechanic turned up. Mechanic highlighted more things. Also claimed a judge owned it and moving to some island. But spent sweet fa on the car..... Let you know later on. The underneath ok?
