  1. nice, love the documentary about the Z line on youtube. the 240, 260 were a great alternative to the usual eu stuff
  2. Better off waiting for the new model in 2020
  3. 2018 update, beginning and end of video for sound without the music
  4. Really like the C63 16 onwards.....but the Japanese design style is just different. A more risk approach with curves, sharp corners and unconventional styling. Also designed by Alfonso Albaisa. Whos working on new Z and GTR whereas the Germans prefer a rounded, straight and smooth lines approach. Playing it safer. An updated infotainment system with improved interior would be good...drive by wire is being removed due to complaints. Add to that a 500bhp Twin turbo V6 hybrid you got something that could be a hit. Similar tech to the proposed LC500 hybrid price probably looking at £60,000 for this edition. All speculation and rumours ofcourse. Infiniti Sold 10,000 q60 last year in North America. Their highest so far
  5. Project Black S (2020) Infiniti Q60 Project Black S Project Black S is a concept Q60 developed with Renault Sport Formula One Team. It was unveiled at the 2017 Geneva International Motor Show.It features a Formula One inspired energy regeneration system with a dual motor/generator unit and battery pack. Engine power specifications were not disclosed, however, it is expected to come with the Red Sport 400 engine. The first motor traction motor/generator mounts is attached end of transmission, providing direct power to the rear wheels. The second motor/generator is attached to the turbocharger, to help spool it up instantly to eliminate turbo lag at lower engine speeds. Once at higher revs, when the exhaust is flowing through the turbine and no longer has lag, it acts as a generator by siphoning off a bit of electricity and sending it to the battery. It is estimated to have an output of 500hp with the V6 engine and two electric motors. It will also feature braking-by-wire, but will ditch the Red Sport’s controversial steering-by-wire system in favour of a motor-driven unit. however, it isn't expected to go on sale until at least 2020. Possibly the base for the Z35 Nismo. Apologies for my copy paste joby
  6. Countryside cars tend to be cheaper than London cars...Generally less abused and taken care off. Ive known people who have gone as far as Scotland and Ireland to buy certain cars. My mate got his car from Cheltenham 2+ hours from London. An A3 which was going a grand cheaper than anywhere local. Was a good roadtrip...arrived at a mansion to our suprise
  7. I got £300 pound knocked off for "stonechips" had 4 stonechips! minor ones
  8. just saw a 370Z for £7500 on autotrader with 125,000 miles.......deal of the century or issues galore
  9. the bmw 335 is, my brother has it. Very torquey comes 320 bhp and m performance exhaust. Only available in u.s problem is hes out of warranty and currently spending $9000 on repairs not sure what happened but older siblings tell you stuff on a need to know basis. he says he,ll run it to the ground. Liked his car though. A bit of lag, but nice and tuneable Funny story, he once put it in sport mode sounded amazing...going through the intersection in LA, steps on it as crossing, turbo doesn't kick in till we reach other side of intersection. "I asked ages ago god dammit "

  13. mine were good to 10000 miles but i did hop in and spring out
  14. Cool, each to their own though. I wouldnt do it without checking for a traffic cop on the overtaking or middle lane. He might be having a bad day! Live and learn.
  15. did that before and ended up being told off because everyone backed off and i didnt. Also threatened to stick something on me for answering back...Good old days lol....when i used to get followed for ages...intimidation tactics dont work anymore though... I remember my old man being waved on.. But that was in a different country!
  16. pays off when you try something different. maybe they all wanted to drive the usual
  17. I had £1245 with exhaust and commuting on the 370 nismo with 8 years NCB living in zone 5 London...Admiral
  18. I always took the mini humps on two wheels at an angle.
  19. According to PC Perkins it is. If someone is in lane 3 the overtaking lane, you cannot go past him. He needs to move over if traffic is starting to creep up on him. By then someones already up his behind flashing him or tailgaiting. Put it this way if a cop was in lane 3 you wouldnt undertake him would you
