Have you seen whats going on in Italy, Spain and France in terms of lockdown and restrictions as well as deaths. Is that an exaggeration?
-
Carry on as normal and hope "Herd Immunity" Solves the problem. Its just that people don't want to give up their social lives for 2 weeks to a month to reduce the spread. I mean people in Italy are still trying to have a private night life when they have been warned, ignoring all the warnings. Some people have claimed it is not as bad as flu while others have died. Which is it.... UK is still behind the peak of the curve. So any drastic action needs to see more deaths in the 100s to a thousand. . Needs must, I have no issue with Army being deployed to drive emergency vehicles and blockades to stop people leaving catchment areas. They have to do what they have to do to control the spread. UKs lackadaisical attitude has been interesting. Maybe the plan is to have the masses infected hoping for herd immunity and they know they will lose some along the way. Crazy tactic but wouldn't put it past Government. That way when push comes to shove you don't have to treat people with pre existing conditions or prioritize less likely to survive patients. Or they can say not enough beds sorry, stay home and try and recover. Elderly are being told to stay at home. My mom hasnt been anywhere public in a week or two. Best thing really. Why risk it. The flight ban by trump came a little too late,. My brother came from Lanzarote last week unchecked. Some are claiming they filled in forms which went to nobody

All good. Was originally going to come with a mask and gloves then leave by midday anyway. means more time in bed and maybe going for a country lane blast with the windows up in the morning. Can imagine someone sneezing while crossing the road then catching a whiff of those germs with the windows down

MPS4S premium 285/19/35 103 Y -
Looking to replace the current MPSS with MPS4s. I couldnt see any deals on Black Circle. Ill keep looking. I was just wondering if they are run flats or are there different ranges that offer Runflats. Id prefer non runflats as I heard runflats give a stiffer ride. Price wise not much difference. Id consider both runflats and non runflats. What price should I be looking for a pair. Last I checked in December they were around £360 a pair. Right now I can see £480

My old mate had one with a Meisterschaft GTC and Decat. Sounded crazy. Very loud cold start

Whats the survival rate for age ranges over 50....I wouldn't be in a rush to catch it
-
If you really want to catch Coronavirus and get it out of the way early as opposed to later when services are overstretched. They are paying people £3500 as human guinea pigs. If you die there must be a get out clause of them not having to pay a penny. Small print

Its just a scenario no ones told anyone anything . Its like when the Jehovahs witnesses say you should have a small waterproof safe and keep vital documents and emergency fruit bars incase of sudden mass flooding or natural disaster. Because who knows what will happen. Whether you want to believe it or not is another story Because Dry or Brown Dry Pasta/Rice only needs heat and water to cook. Or you could eat rations, bread, fruit anything that doesnt require prep. You could survive on that . That would be priority over stockpiling toilet roll, which people will blow their nose or wipe their backside with. Soap and water will minimize infection and its spread. Surely that's more critical than stockpiling loo roll. Yes specialist foods and specialist diets will be off limits. Only the basic foods would be widely available. I have a colleague whos wife works in Government and shes been told that the death rate needs to reach 500 before they consider a lockdown similar to Italy for a minimum 2 weeks to contain further spread. People say well thats unlikely because like 5 people died over a week period. If you see other countries the increase of infected and dead can increase or decrease suddenly. Just depends.

people should be stockpiling dry pasta, soap and water instead. This is just the tip of the iceberg

Supercharged Amuse 370z for sale - only 29k miles - SOLD
GranTurismoEra replied to Beb's topic in Zeds For Sale
Its a good price considering the amount of work. No need to lower just yet. Id say give it a month or so. Very tempting indeed. Summers coming . -
Very slow sellers. So had to drop the price. I remember dropping mine to 4k 4 years ago still had timewasters.
-
Yes from the games back then it was the 350z. Now with Need for Speed Heat, The Crew, Forza Horizon the 370 is in those games. I remember playing the Crew few years ago and I had a 800 HP 370Z lol....so some kids know already more than adults what car it is. As they hardly see them in real life, Its a nice suprise when one pulls up more so than the GTR
-
Check Engine Light from Doing Donuts. But hey cross America trip very good content!
-
Recently sold a 350Z 2004 DE with 37,000 miles for £6500...Thats a rare price. But you should get a 50-60k miler at that price tbh. More or less youd get a 60-80k miler for that price in summer
-
Theres a video circulating of people infected with the virus spitting in lifts in China and rubbing it in on the buttons and doors. Better purchase 100x black latex gloves for public use and take some sanitizer with you. Hopefully it doesn't catch on here. Crazy
-
They hold value while under 40 years. After that the depreciation begins. She looks very young though...borderline illegal
-
Yes a middle mileage DE, prices have started creeping up as summers approaching
-
Just use water.....That is all

This is not news, Not sure if any of you have seen this 18 year old girl on youtube. Now on 264,000 Subs. I know they are ten a penny on Youtube. . We know in US they have a large following when it comes to Zed. Good business tactic if you ask me. Get the guy to follow you with the camera everywhere, strip half naked do some drifts and bobs your uncle . I havent watched her in depth so cant testify to her knowing about cars or not.......Just pops up everytime you search 350Z or 370Z as thats whats trending. My colleague sent me the link and I saw the name and realized Id seen that channel before. Each to their own I guess. Whatever puts food on your family....I mean table!

8-10 Cars usually. Usually other car clubs come along, ragging it around the car park and that attracts security to push people into the mall. Might come along next month. A bit far for me tbh

350 HR is more refined but a higher Road Tax similar to the 370Z. I liked the DE because it had lots of Torque although nowadays it may struggle against the typical 300HP hatchback. I got eaten alive by a remapped GTi. The DE has a nice acceleration. The HR is revvier and revs higher, delivers power smoother and is slightly quicker. REV up is known for consuming oil, which apparently is fixable and came with slightly more power Personally Id go for the HR. But if budget was tight Id settle for DE as they are cheaper to buy but also come with their own issues being older. Some are starting to rust now. Although my brothers one he sold was in good condition as spent most of its life in a garage. Another advantage over the 370Z is that the 350Z doesn't attract as much attention and the dimensions of the car are perfect. Not oversized and bulky like the 370Z. Retains a muscular sports car look. The 370Z someone said reminds them of a poor mans Ferrari 599 . Ill take that as I'm a big fan of the Ferrari 250 GTO, 599 and 612 Sessanta.

Greta Thurnberg (A Game of Climate)
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Easier said than done .... I agree with everything on the list bar 10 , and also agricultural emissions will be harder to reduce especially in developing countries due to cost of equipment. 5 is a grey area. Maybe after 10-15 years they can start clamping down on sale of new ICE vehicles and Hybrids
