  1. he did say he had been looking at them for a while, then exposed himself asking details that would come up if you were looking for them. Fair dos ive never known what a ford galaxy has, id rather google it than stop someone in traffic though, I had someone tell me yesterday to get a better car, , not my fault its not to everyones tastes eh, if its not something you would buy then go about your business . how about the old guy walking aggressively onto the pedestrian crossing as im making a turn looking the other way, good thing i saw him eh. And his wife has her hands wide out looking at him asking what are you thinking.......the ones that pull up beside you then speed off,
  2. so the point of your post was ... ? Its edited, my mate has one and i like the M3 and Potatoes
  3. I was coming home from work yesterday, when a guy in a diesel A class the previous shape skipped about 6 cars to pull up beside me and ask "is that a fairlady Z", what Litre is that? Ive been looking for a while how much do they go for? I just said they arent expensive.....And this my friends is why I need tints, I can pretend I didnt see him next time. Everyone circumstances are different plus theres a reason he was driving a diesel A class, possibly for a long commute to work. I work 6 miles away down the motorway. So its £30 pound a week to go to work and run an errand or two. I get a new job tomorrow far away Id have to get rid. So before he skipped another 2 cars ahead and got onto the main road, he said he'd have a look when he got home and sped off lool. Last time this happened I was in my mates E class that just came out, Thats why we have Google, his was debadged, my mate just answered one question "E Class" and wound back up lool. When they get home and they see that the car in question has a higher list price than they assumed or the Z are now back up on the price as summer approaches he'l be in for a shock. I bought this car because I was curious and I have always liked it since it first came out whilst I was in high school in 2002/2003. I used to ask my older bros to draw cars and planes for me when i was 7,8. So its not me jumping on a hype, Its me wanting to try something different, and scratching an itch Ive had since the glory days of Gran Turismo and Max Power magazines. Unlike these people that just see materials, expensive things and oh bob neighbor just got a new land rover v6, we are getting a v8 type jeep next week! Apart from the race me invisible emblem have you guys had similar clowning experiences, lets face it if he was genuine he would know the price and the size of the engine, after googling not ogling
  4. reverse logos/emblems, lol, wonder what the next gen 370z will look like, probably wont be called that but hey
  5. Nice my mate has had one for the last year and hes had these done lol, only changed brake pads so far and serviced. All I can say is beast beast beast, Thing is insane. More than 5k on mods but transformed the car Sorry to hijack the thread Car is 5 star, you will enjoy
  6. you will have people stopping you asking what car is that? you can reply with its another one of those audis ;-)
  7. my mate has similar spacing and hasnt been pulled, hes had it on a 65 plate for the last 3 months, and a lot of people have similar in my area, We are near a traffic cop base too. Depends!
  8. Because a good replacement is well over a grand, some even advertised at £2k and then there's no guarantee what your buying is going to be any good, and you just end up in the same boat. CD009's are rarer than chicken teeth and if you can find one then again it's stupid money. At least with a rebuild with new parts I'll know it'll be good to go and currently coming in at under £700 Ive been to a factory where they rebuild the VW/Audi ones, its like a work of art, dont nissan aftermarket have something similar in UK? I.e bring yours in and take away theirs? Makes sense rebuilding it yourself!
  9. Are you looking for a lamborghini? 7k should find plenty of these cars, GT versions included.....something got to give, either mileage or number of owners or colour, service history, unless youre willing to spend more...7k would have got you a nice 50k miles black/white 2005 GT on ebay when i was looking, I even saw a couple of closely priced 2006 and 2007 HR ones for sale non GT. As if pre 2005 were more in demand that they were costing as much as some 2006 2007 HR models.
  10. yeah mine had fresh tyres new alloys full history but many owners lol, 3 from same family, i purchased of 40 year old guy who got it off a 50 year old guy, lipped disc and pads need changing in front, grooved disc were 119 quid and pads were 29 quid, gona get them fitted with a guy ive been going to for 7 years only for £30 quid prolly tip him another 15 on top, part of my tab! Well you cant have everything eh, something has to give. This one has 83k miles, all fun so far speaking of gearbox, its not a supple one like the civic 56 plate, but its fine for now Exhaust is nice, burbles and crackles, then pops at the limiter.. lol I come into my area in neutral, lol
  11. Lol, waiting game and keeping eyes peeled, if you are looking for a stock one im sure youll find one with a good mileage, good history, finding one with less than 3 4 owners for the price you are looking for is tough. The usual places this forum, autotrader, ebay, gumtree....piston heads..... I didndt want to pay 6k for an 04 tbh What year are you looking for? 2005 GT 70k? They go for 7k dont they? Saying that I did want a Type R, possibly next car, ill see, I like the Ep3 and FN2
  12. is the exige affordable lol, looks tempting out of that list
  13. lool could have still stopped, but i dont know the laws regarding reversing on hard shoulders , poor guy/girl hope they got rescued
  14. this is a popular car in the states with young guys and girls lol not suprised, will search it up lol, theres an episode where one of the animal characters backchats about the boy and he rolls by in a ferrari, classic
  15. yep had similar in a previous Ford, You rev but the car isnt moving to those revs, Another test is the third gear test, apparently if it judders then stalls, youre done, if its moves slightly and you can get momentum to get the car moving then you still have life left, as said above, Im assuming mine is very worn but I can get it moving in third and its not slipping yet, 83k miles, i do get a smell under heavy load, if I floor it and hit high revs lol, mine is half way, no slipping yet, It can probably go for a while yet unless I constantly boot it everywhere,
  16. make sure you put everything back firmly ;-), thats something you gotta be awake when doing lol
  17. in 2016 im not sure this car is considered quick lol, when there are 500-1000 hp cars on the road, it does fly though coming from a civic
  18. Are you sure reverse was fully engaged? I only get the smell when pushing the car a bit. mine is half way. How high is yours?
  19. Some one tailgates you and then tries to go around and your response is to floor it? In 4th so presumably to well above the legal limit, and then you have to slow down to the legal limit because there are other road users about who are obviously being put in danger! You describe him as a ****, and driving like an idiot. I wonder how would you describe your driving on this occasion then?....... id describe it as minding my own business driving in a straight line
  20. the matt blue one has been for sale for a long long time. I wonder why thats still there lol, that knock might just be the bushes, roll bar or drop links, could be wheel bearing who knows. Either way a couple of hundreds to fix, he had a black 2004 going for 5900 but i felt was slightly above my budget and mileage is high
  21. All nonsense to me, was out this saturday, and had 4 guys in a BMW coupe on my case from the turn, driving like idiots tailgating, It was a long straight, they tailgated me then tried to go round me i was already in 4th gear, I floored it. I was approaching a traffic light and some guy was pulling out and saw the bmw on the wrong side of the road and stopped. I was already back on legal limit, so i wasnt coming in fast, It was a red light going green, I scooted out the way so they could get lost. At first they hesitated, but I waited and didnt move and they went their own way putting on his hazard light, not sure what for as I already thought he was a ****, The only reason I pulled over is it was getting out of hand, and police wont see him they will only see me, plus someone steps in the road its over. The fact that someone pulling out a side road had to halt to see what the idiots would do next. I get it all the time. But how much petrol are you going to burn leaving idiots behind.....it gets tiresome.
  22. its got a good set up the 182 cup, i have to admit
  23. whats classed as old? lol there are many older people on here...im 30 so im okay ;-)
  24. Garaged, throw on some wheels, i like that BBS style on the other blue one, and an invidia ;-), summer time was never this good.
