i'm really enjoying the new series, the nascar stuff was interesting as well

yes; ones driven by more younguns and therefore the crash ratio is higher on the zed than the M3 maybe, but we're not asking about young'uns................ we're asking about me n my Mrs - same people, same risk! an older car and worth a 1/4 of the M3.................. but its £130 more.........!!! thats my point! thats not the point, if i am right i think both the vehicle and the driver are weighted. so there is a cost for the vehicle and then discounts applied depending on driver, age, experience etc. as its all stats based, if more 350z's have been crashed than 2008 M3's the zed is a higher risk car. they take that value and then start discounting for what you bring to the deal. so if you have 5 years NCB and are over 30 you'll get a set discount. same as you would on the M3 but the Zed obviously starts higher before your discounts are applied. you'll have to blame all the 20 something drivers who think they're senna and then spank the zed into a tree or ditch. been here 4 years now and every winter you can almost watch the tally of people post up saying that they just hit oil on the road and now the car is written off. etc etc etc. if you think the zed is bad try insuring an S2000 its even higher risk, yet has a bit less power still.

i'd give anything to have my zed or S2k back in the snow. not becuas ehtey were awesome in the snow but becuase i think they be a damn sight better than my jag. as its an auto and there is no snow mode button, plus with the huge 20" rims summer tyres and the 370 bhp, i think mondays drive to work is going to be a bum clencher.

thats quiet cool but in this weather does this worry you at all

i usually clear the majority off the roof etc but leave about 1cm so i don't touch the paint. and then clean all the glass parts and lights. anything left on top can then blow off when i drive. just remember your captain brave pants and take 2 brave pills before you go to sleep if the snows not too bad its do able, but if its proper thick you might want to think twice

coldel it looks like you're parked in the middle of the street? as for suffolk it has started but its really fine powder stuff. blowing around lots.

i think the route of the problem is not "proper" english but a dialect problem. there are dialects i like and ones i don't in the UK both above and below the borders as well as in wales and ireland. I love the southern irish accent, but not a fan of the derry dialect. I like the yorkshire accent, but mancs, scousers and jordies sound odd to me. I don't mind the edinburgh sound, but find the glaswegian lilt quiet harsh. i'm from the west country and some people think that sounds a bit simple same as the suffolk accent. i'm not a fan of the essex accent i think its lazy, but not all people in essex speak with it. i like the north welsh accent and i can take it seriously, i love the south welsh, but it always makes me smile. i think that what ever the likes or dislikes are just becareful how you tell other people especially if they're from there

half the UK can't speak proper english, christ 70% of the kids i teach don't use the language properly innit thou they drop the 'H' at beginning of words, they replace 'er' with 'A' amoungst other things.

dragonball you're on your own on this one, i'm all for a bit of banter between the teams etc and i think you'll find the other 5 nations don't mind who wins; as long as its not england and that we're at the bottom

He is going to jagfest.... i'd love a D-type like that as for the side stickers col was on about, i don't mind them, my mate had something similiar on his porsche and it looked fine. it suits some cars better than others. perosnal choice and personal taste, your car your choice.

ah thats a shame why? did you want to buy me a drink? spot on i probably owe you a pint by now, first ones on me

ah thats a shame why? did you want to buy me a drink?

still not turned up yet

i don't have a jap car? i do go to the odd big event with a mate who is scoobied up, was at modified live at snetterton, not done japfest though

spank you, spank you very much

says the guy with even bigger stickers on his car mines look cool though

School boy error by Scotland! A shame but we will still be victorious! i missed the first half, but scotland seem to be making lots of errors,

cracking little try for england 30 sec in to the 2nd half

if buyer is willing to shop around to get the rears then the pirelli pzero assymetricos are good as are the conti sport contact 3, you can get them in the front sizes for less than the GSD3's but you'd need to hunt around to find them for the rears. if you can get the eagle F1 assymetrics 2 then they are very very good http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Goody ... tric-2.htm http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Conti ... tact-3.htm i like the websaite, not becuase of the human reviews, but because it pulls all the magaziine reviews together for each tyre, so you can see where they tend to come.

we had a dusting last night, and very fine poweder this morning, it then warmed up, and now temp has dropped again, snow due tonight and a good amount hopefully as well. thats suffolk

For the Calcutta cup my money is on England

Your front size is quiet common lots to choose from you selection is greatly reduced though by your rears 235/50/17. so finding a matching set not so easy. looking at the list on camskill the eagle F1 GSD3 is still your best option on there. http://www.camskill.co.uk/m54b0s556p0/C ... 35_50_R_17

small batch numbers and finding the time to do it sounds about right.

if the GSD3 is in your budget then get them avon kuhmo and toyo are all fine and on par with the falke n452's but not as good as the GSD3 fairly quiet, good grip in dry and wet, loved them on the S2000 and on the GTi6, if i could have got them for the zed i would have.
