  1. It served it's purpose but didn't really evolve despite the face lift in 2018. Imagine they had made it into a model 3 type 4 door with a more appealing design. It could have stayed as a hatchback but with a slightly longer wheelbase. They allowed Tesla to steal their market share when they had a 4 year headstart in the mainstream. They will struggle compete with the likes of MG who will probably refresh the line up every 3 to 4 years! Selling more appealing designed cars from mid 20s. Prices of Leaf have reduced but the likes of the Ariya at 48k was quite high. I see they reduced them by 5 to 6k since release. So now MG are closing in on Nissan in EV sales. Others have joined the party but BYD and Co are able to offer sub 40k cars easily with new Chinese companies to enter EU market shortly. I'm assuming going forward Nissan will make 3 to 4 new crossover SUVs of varying sizes under a new platform. 1 or 2 of them being built in Sunderland. They should include a 4 door saloon they can sell to public sector and govt agencies. Tesla already sold a few to the police. A refresh is needed with new players in the UK.
  2. Well the latter but also in general. Project Zeds definitely keep the Z scene going.
  3. Nissan ending Leaf production about time tbh. https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/nissan-confirms-phasing-one-most-053000072.html
  4. Nah no mention. He probably got a return to work cake though
  5. They paid out £9,000,000 million to Flintoff who is known for fanning about and taking risks. Apparently rumour has it he wasn't wearing a helmet and was standing up in an open top kit car when he crashed at low speed.
  6. Still for sale. £100 pounds will get you out of a tight spot to remove the fuse. Forum price.
  7. Can stream on crunchy roll for 4.99 a month and download their app ad free or watch here. This sites a bit dodgy with pop ups https://aniwatch.to/watch/mf-ghost-18596?ep=107272 Or can download from usual incoming torrential rain sources. It's gonna pour summers done.
  8. Well about to watch episode 2 after a slow start. If you've seen Wangan Midnight and Initial D it's similar. Looks Interesting. It's the sequel to Initial D manga published in 2017 set in late 2020s. Over 4 million copies have been sold of the manga. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28299608/?ref_=ext_shr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MF_Ghost
  9. You could probably fit the trims on a sunny afternoon. even if the previous owner removed them. He should have kept them unless they were damaged
  10. Usually at least 20 cars irrespective of weather. Rain is good. Less people on the road 😎
  11. Right decision. Died after the 3 left. The revival had way too many presenters. Obviously in early days sabine schmidt was a great guest host...... someone somewhere will make a replacement I'm sure. BBC 'axes Top Gear after 46 years as bosses concede there is "no way it can continue" after Freddie… https://mol.im/a/12603715 via https://dailym.ai/android
  12. Saw the MG in the flesh last week. Good looking car indeed and lower than the 370z also heard the MG GBT v8 cold start. Now that's a proper car. My brother picked up a white Taycan with the white rims new a few days ago. Not sure what spec yet. His kids let the cat out the bag in advance. Unlike when I got the 350Z lol congrats!
  13. Nothing like altitude deadlifts with less oxygen to test your manhood. I rather sprint up TFL Escalators on my commute.
  14. Congrats. I fulfilled mine with a 350Z too in 2015. Then the 370Z Nismo stamped it summer 2017.... "Wow" after dropping a gear on the way out of Birmingham....Enjoy (No regrets!).
  15. 400Z was just a nickname by US enthusiasts.....I think Z will be end of life by 2030. I doubt theyll bother with a face lift. But the front bumper can be changed in the Japanese market....Also faces steep depreciation as Americans have clocked on they can get better for the money like a Corvette or M2 Many Z enthusiasts are keeping their current Z or buying competition. Some have already sold this new Z. Nissan will replace it with a faster electric roadster most likely under a different name possibly made here in UK by 2030. Theres no point using the Z name under EV.....a hybrid maybe...Depends on sales of upcoming 982 Boxster and MGC. If they're successful then theyll bring it forward. Apparently the weight is still an issue for Nissan. Theres a new market for EV roadsters just not at what they want to sell them for unfortunately.
  16. No Car :-(, Just a smart car lol.....be back stronger though. LOL...Reconsider Cotswolds for next season!
  17. Mount Haruna with the new Z. That would be good
