  1. Downward spiral...... Nightmare... This is what the Green Party want!
  2. Makes sense the sale of new vehicles. Which makes me think future performance and sports vehicles will be electric or at the very least hybrid/petrol performance. Since a lot of people will have no driveway access. Good luck charging on the street overnight, Just needs some twerp to light the cable on fire lol A fully electric 420Z, or GTR R37 with Active Sound Actuator for fake petrol engine sounds..... Errmmmm........ Other option is move to the third world or a remote island with decent infrastructure pay some Minister and drive what you want relatively brand new
  3. Article on Ban The report claims that the need to proceed with the transition to electric vehicles is the only way Britain’s automotive industry can remain competitive. It also suggests that other counties have already taken the lead with battery manufacturing, so seeking to catch up isn’t worthwhile. Instead, “aggressive targeting of high-value aspects of the EV and battery supply chains” are cited as a more lucrative investment for the UK. Rachel Reeves MP, Chair of the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee, said: “Our EV charging infrastructure is simply not fit for purpose. We cannot expect consumers to overcome ‘range anxiety’ and switch to electric vehicles if they cannot be confident of finding convenient, reliable points to regularly charge their cars.” Interesting. If you really want your Petrol/Diesel vehicles you would need to drive it on the track or illegally. But they will probably go with a staged phase out. Where you would be allowed to drive hybrid petrols for the time being This ban applies to new car sales and expansion of EV manufacturing as well as infrastructure I read somewhere that Paris are taking these ideas seriously. When and If a full ban comes into play, how would this be enforced or policed would be an interesting question. ANPR, Patrols, CCTV?
  4. if you cant offer warranty on an analogue car like 350z then theres no hope lol
  5. I might get an electric bike soon 1000w...pricey though
  6. Tough one! Cayman GTS/GT4? Good middle ground. But reliability?
  7. Im sure the prices will drop in the next year. I really want to get another Z possibly a Nismo. But my circumstances may change so it all depends. May have to go get something more reasonable on Petrol... I think id this car (Q60) when im a bit older and not so much sports car addicted. Theres a video of one Q50 with 500 HP leaving a 458 at the drag strip. Interesting
  8. Ive come across one guy whos had 4 zeds including the Mk2 Nismo hes never been on the forum. Hes been on pistonheads though. I saw him shortly after i sold mine. Made me regret selling it. Spoke to him fro 10 minutes. I had seen him a week earlier and another time before So fair enough not everyone has time for forums and i reckon quite a few z owners never attend meets
  9. Im not suprised lol, I had a company director who snubbed the 911 and other cars for a Cayman S. So depends what you want out of it. Sometimes you have an overly fast car and cant really hear it sing till you are in illegal territory..better to drive a slower car fast right? my brother did get a 911 non turbo NA 2016 350 bhp...still pricey at £70,000. Think its a 3.8 too...sounds amazing
  10. Jaguar F Type V8 542 BHP or Cayman 3.4/2.7?
  11. what you getting next? might be worth trading up save the hassle. Z are slow sellers
  12. oil leak probably rocker covers, £300 pound when i had mine done. Who did the mot. phone them up and find out what they did
  13. Zeditis for sure .....the body kit on 370 looks good
  14. welcome, best looking car sub 40k! best color for it.
  15. I listed mine on ebay a while back just got timewasters. one guy messaged me like 5 times wanting to pay £500... then i realised i might buy it again so just took it off
  16. saw a black one in California months ago....a red sport....very nice. They love their big v6 v8 v12 over there. I feel like it could do with some extra trimmings like some side skirts and front splitter. the wing on the 2020 doesn't suit it...a lip spoiler would be better Silver looks clean debadged. Might go well with black, alloy or chrome rims/chrome outline q60 s with kers hybrid tech would be nice. The extra torque and regen capabilities would transform the car. Just a shame its 1860kg dry
  17. yep, 3am just had a dream about my old one lol, Serious addiction .... thought it might be the 400Z...cuz of the exhaust making those fart sounds....double take yep looked exactly, 99% mk2, the human brain eh...wtf  yep got to get another!
  18. Yep the Nismo mk2 but i like mk1 as well maybe id change the mk1 rear bumper though. White or Black for me
  19. Lexus isnt ugly lol I prefer designs that take risks to plain straight boring German designs with no character. Always playing it safe. I thought they were getting rid of drive by wire for the 2020 version of the Q60? I had the NIsmo Mk2 and plan on getting another. I dont think ill be going for the TTS mk3. Just looks like electrical issues to me
  20. I read somewhere you dont necessarily need a remap after installing HFC on 370z....Not sure. But it may throw up an engine management light. Probably not but you never know whos willing to sell.
