If there is any interest in starting up another friendly competition I will be on board, might not have as much time to dedicate as some of the early posts in this thread suggest previous competitors did but would happily have a reason to get back into GT6.

Dear me, I go away for a couple of hours and all hell is breaking loose.

Zunderstanding and Zompassion you say?? Now you are just being Zidiculous

Completely agree with this

Glad you got it sorted

When I was on the Celica forum I came across a guy who was convinced that changing the belt made his car quicker and started suggesting it to others as an essential mod. I personally don't know if there is anything behind this having not had this experience myself, but my HR drive belt is up for change this weekend so if I notice a marked difference I will rally behind you. My suspicion is however that not hearing a squeal any more provides a bit of a placebo. ( I will happily admit I am wrong if there is any science showing otherwise)

Bah, got email notification of this whilst out and about and thought I will jump on that when I get back, should have ignored guests at meal and posted from my phone. No point wishing you good luck any more either since it seems it has a new home. I will take 3rd reserve if all hell breaks loose and noone above takes it

Is it wrong that I got very offended when someone compared their Hyundai coupe 2.0 se (not even the V6 option for crying out loud) to the Zed saying things like "how similar they are", and "cars like ours". Edit: I would like to add I am not a snob, and don't look down on others for their own car choices etc but if you are going to start a conversation about cars then a 2.0 hyundai coupe and the 350Z must be appreciably different machines. In my eyes at least. Porsche Driver - " I look down on that Nissan owning wannabe" 350z Driver - " I look upto the Porker driver who earns more money than me" Hyundi Driver - "Dicks" I have to confess that I have never been a porker fan. The only one I have ever had a soft spot for was the 944. Whilst I can appreciate they are good cars, and porsche certainly do some awesome stuff (cayenne excluded from this) that I can look on with awe (919 WEC is staggering, 918 awesome thing that humans can drive) they just aren't for me.

I can see where that logic comes from but he was a self-professed petrol head.

I am assuming this is in reference to the greatness that is the GT-four. I really fancied one of these when I bought my t sport but at the time funds wouldn't allow me to run it. Whilst the t sport was a giggle I always knew in the back of my head that it wasn't a proper celica and the lack of torque ultimately ended her days in my hands. I considered one again before the 350 but the 350 had always been one of my dream cars so it had to be that. That and I definitely can't afford a R35.

This post intrigued me from an English language standpoint. Is it poor grammar to coin neologisms? With terms like Zeditis being bandied about the boards I would have thought Zedicated was a natural partner. read that twice and still dont understand it Sorry, I just meant why can't I make up the word Zedicated when we already have words like Zeditis on this forum

Changed the plugs on mine Saturday between f1 practice and qualy. Had intended to do drive belt and gear/diff oil too but had a few beers while qualy was on and decided better of continuing servicing after that. Will do it this weekend coming now. Sorry to hear about the bearing.

For me, road/tyre noise is the only blot on the 350's copybook. Absolutely love it otherwise. I will eventually get round to a tonneau and might try doubling up the boot carpet to see if that helps.

That's the sort of man logic I like to see. Although I suspect the harder sell would be the missus. Could always trade her in at the time I guess.

Ah I see, had no idea where you were based. I have to admit I was very impressed with the look of the 'stang. Prettier in the metal than photos and it is hardly un-photogenic anyway. Nice purchase, have to admit have always fancied a mustang but funds for me definitely don't allow. Maybe when prices come down a few years down the line. Do we think this could be a sensible family car option?

I got overtaken by one of these on the M1 around Leeds yesterday morning. Looked lush, wasn't you was it?

I suspect a reasonable amount of that country mile can be attributed to the Williams being in the way.

quite possibly very true, which is a shame really.

I know, I think if Vettel hadn't ended before he began, and if Raikkonen and Hamilton had had decent starts we would have had a right battle for the lead all the way through the race. All ifs and buts of course but oh well. I think the championship battle could be reasonably close this year. Surprised that Rosberg has done so well out of the first two races but will be interesting to see how the championship progresses.

Well I really enjoyed the race again. Thought Grosjean did really well again. Mega impressed with him and Haas so far. What the **** is wrong with Hamilton's attempts to get off the line. Not the result I was hoping for but good race.

Spotted on Kirkstall road bit of A65 by the Shell garage. I was in the Shell in my grey 350. Anyone on here?

Name: Rafiki Make: Cat Model: Moggy, who knows? Rescue cat adopted as a kitten August last year. Age: Nobody is entirely sure but the suspicion is he will be 1 at the end of May. Likes: Everything that he isn't supposed to touch. Pouncing anything that moves. Sleeping. Dislikes: Every child that has ever visited our house. He likes to think he is clever but my pic suggests otherwise:

Well Hamilton pulled that out the bag. Didn't think it was on initially. Think this reiterated that the structure of the qualifying means the ends of sessions are @*!#. Cracking effort by Grosjean, Vandoorne and Wehrlein too.
