chrome, perforated metal, lined with thick rubber underbodies, well oiled ball bearings. The use of quality materials like alcantara, premium scratchless plastic and soft matte finishes. So 2019. All replaced by extended custom designed AMOLED screens that curve and bend to you the driver. Now password protected with valet mode perhaps. Innovative

I think petrol cars will retain their value and still be an option for the public, car enthusiasts and anti ev brigade. If by then synthetic or alternative fuel is an option the may offer that as hybrid alternative with companies offering conversion to alternative fuel and alcohol could be a possibility. It depends on what BP, Shell, Esso and co want to offer. They have tried with LPG Also new cars sold between 2028 - 2030 if they could be made cheaper than EV in general there could be a jump in sales flooding the market with the last ICE vehicles. The government would probably want to ban importation of pure ICE cars.

Aside from the crossover sitting position and 137 mile range looks good. £32,000? well when i looked 4 months ago they were £29000 with a few miles. Holy depreciation with a few miles you can bag one for £24,999. I hope this happens to the 400Z in Japan lol wow

Its still irritating to hear a young inexperienced sales guy ripping it. When youre a german guy you probably cant understand the essence of NA lightweight cars. He also said out of 12 test drives for the GR Yaris only 1 order was made. I dont know if its the low sales ability, the Yaris seating position or just joyriders checking out the hype lol Ofcourse im a big fan of NA so I understand what @ekona means I will book a test drive for both 86 and Yaris for the fun of it and let you guys know

Or sell the Stang get a 66 plate onwards R8 for a year lol....Best shape imo....As long as you can stomach service costs
-
Looks like an import the tax should be lower
-
optional hopefully as unless someones going for more power £2000 brake service is a bit steep compared to the £1000 on the 370

Dashcam R8 theft joyride Newcastle, Australia
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
Yep, the way he was ranting. Really like that shape R8 and the 2017 that came after. Such clean lines. £70,000....Just need to find the right lotto numbers -
yeah its average but decent twists...somebody just wanted to fill the gap and pay homage to other movies, its a time consumer. Lost Bullet but subtitles are in French. Only other thing i could think of was the 2 season Drag racing docu series. Fastest Car I found Paul Hollywood continental trip but haven't seen it yet might be good.

Dashcam R8 theft joyride Newcastle, Australia
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
the snap oversteer would have killed him. Hes not that skilled -
No issues running a custom square plate as many 350 and 370 use it now. Silver not sure about that. Would change the look completely.
-
They look good, especially in the summer. The standard 124 are nice too. In this pandemic it makes sense to get something fun and cheaper. A pokey remap might be great to keep the diesels at bay

Dashcam R8 theft joyride Newcastle, Australia
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
shocking...Makes a great case for blackvue dashcams though. Worth the money I think. -
Happy new year Stan! Makes want to finish season 1 and 2 of Spy Racers on Netflix. I remember having lego houses and lego men. No so much lego cars.
-
I hope everyone is having a good break and staying distracted from the lockdown worthy weather. I found this, a stolen R8 being driven recklessly at high speed in Newcastle, Australia. Fortunately the thief couldn't work out the gearbox or how to get it in race mode
-
Id say keep it and look at a Boxster 981/718 maybe. My neighbour had an older 6 cylinder yellow boxster 2005. Head turner....Everytime I see him I ask whens the replacement coming? They are around £6k+ now and cant speak for maintenance. Or could get something small and fun like an MX5, Abarth 124
-
no probs was ok i guess. Ill be on the lookout for more.
-
More like this please! Ill try remember the last similar movie I saw on Netflix. Great stunts and action, French, Indie, Heist movie. (Lost Bullet). This just came out on Netflix although its 9 months old. Its gone in 60 seconds meets fast and furious Cheap action dont expect film festival material here. #350z and #s2000 are in there along with the obvious Supercars

You dont need to worry about vision when all other senses are 'heightened'.. I cant see it being released in 2021. Also Covid isnt going anywhere anytime soon. The drop in infections around may june this year is unlikely to happen again without a full national lockdown with people respecting the rules. If it does come it will probably only sell 2000 in North America and very price dependent. Japan maybe 500 if that. UK probably 90-100 at best for MY 2022. UK is wishful thinking even with open imports. Times are tough. The Supra sales jumped this year in America and the projection back in Summer was around 4000 worldwide. Think theyve met that. Then again there are around 98 for sale in UK now many people have sold up 2019 models due to the situation. This car should be priced the same as the current nismo 370 new. £39,000 or $51,000 or it might struggle
-
hmm the Renault techie reckons it can happen but unlikely. Some main dealers have imported cars unofficially in the past I just wonder if its depending on things like interest locally. UK are still part of the paris agreement. If anything sales of leafs and micras may stay the same. Nissan need to probably sell as much as Tesla for that to be possible. Possible if only they had a saloon design like Sony or Tesla for the leaf and call it a Leaf XL or something. Oh yeah and Nissan UK boss and someone in Government can make it happen maybe but business case isnt really there

saving money and money saving. Even F1 Goodyears are better lol

The Nismo 370 is just a neckbreaker. I had a few calls when it was up for sale. The public love it and kids constantly yell at their parents and point. The new Z will only have a fraction of that attention due to simpler more plain design featuring the rarity factor and being new. Thats why Im keeping the 370 nismo for now as opposed to trying to go faster. Im content. When I was on Instagram the general consensus was modding the front grill and adding suttle bodykits....Any Nismo version will probably have a different front grill and rear bumper I just wish the rear lights were wider giving it a more prominent neon bulb look. Also wish the front grill was more angular. maybe someone will paint the bottom half of the grill to match the primary colour to give it the 240 look

Got to love Aleems arrogance (rich kid)
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
hmm, sometimes let people live a little. Even the approach can make a huge difference. With some friendly banter and polite request the guy would probably have left quietly. It could have escalated quickly with the crowd. Despite that he didnt need to be so rude lol...Its an old video apparently hes a different guy now
