WoREoD

Yeah. At the beginning, close to the new-ish traffic island. One can only surmise that someone had come stonking down the dual carriageway only to have someone from the left turn slip out in front of them......

p.s. Went back 10.30-11ish. No problem going (but I saw some of the fireworks) - coming back met quite a lot of trafic leaving Henley - Restricted my game a little!

Aprroaching from Nettlebed and going out the Marlow Road. 7-7.30pm. I was worried I might have to go via Fawley but straight(!) through both directions. Cut and Shut? I wondered that too...

p.s. Having said all that, I'm glad the lease for the Z fell through - I just *love* this car!

I leased my last car (a Saab) and was going to lease the Z but the leasing company let me down the day before delivery (another story). I'm self-employed with variable monthly income and the big advantage is the predictable monthly outgoing with no worries about extra-ordinary expenditure (as well as marginal tax benefits). If you decide to lease, get quotes from several companies and understand what is and isn't included. You can still buy it at the end of the lease - or you can just walk away. JK

Early yesterday evening I was on my way in to Henley-on-Thames when slowed by the emergency services for an accident situation. On the nearside was a mini-bus with rear damage, but on the offside, well off the road, were the remains of a red car. It was in two halves, a good 40m apart. Horrendous! I didn’t really notice the rear part thinking it was a large piece of debris from the incident, but when I saw the front it was completely severed immediately behind the front seats. I got to view the accident again half an hour later after I’d collected the friend I was on my way to, and from the opposite view I could see the airbags had gone off in the front half, but that the rear section was totally unrecognisable as the rear of a car. I guess it had gone off the road and then hit one of the trees that line this section of road (albeit they are 10m back from the carriageway). No idea of the casualties but no doubt it will be reported in the local news in due course. Also no idea of the make or model of the red car. Small, probably hatchback is my best guess (the front of car was quite damaged and no badges obvious) Really made me think about vehicle strength, and the implications of a big one. Years ago I was second man in a rally car that tackled a tree head-on at about 80mph. The only things that saved us were helmets, and full harness seat belts. I just hope the occupants were helped by the airbags, etc.

Not on the list now - have I been banned?

Still Yes (all things being equal!) JohnK

Right - its dark now - you should all be in bed.

Here's one I dont have a solution for ..... I'm told one in five households dont pay their water rates and that the water companies are powerless to do anything about it because cutting off the water supply would breech their human rights and they dont have enough possesions to make sending the bailiffs in worthwhile..... Hmmmm

All speed limits made advisory and police would need to prove circumstances to prosecute for careless, dangerous or other driving offences (camera evidence still admissable).

All convicted criminals will be locked up and given basic facilities and subsistence. They will then need to work to earn "monies" to either pay for their crime (and any victim compensation) or to improve their lifestyle (but only as a proportion of paying for their crime). They would be let out when their debt to society was paid off.

Ohhhhhh - go on - tell me the thread - never seem to find anything when I search ...........

Or is it.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2007-Nissan-350Z- ... dZViewItem What d'ya reckon Sarnie?

A provisional yes! Perhaps a rendezvous at Winchester then I can come A34? Cheers!

As far as i know yeah This place is trying to sell an 05 35th anniversay edition JDM for £25k They have even changed the rear bumper so it appears to be a uk zed: http://dealerservices.autotrader.co.uk/16286/stock.htm Hi Sarnie - How do you know its a JDM model? - Just interested... JK

If you've got an on-line backup destination, only want to do data backups (I keep my Outlook .pst files in My Documents folder) then I use a program called SecondCopy. I've set it to run every two hours and it only copies files that have changed since previous run. As GC350z implied, for a home PC, if the system gets corrupted (for whatever reason) I'd rather do a rebuild and then reload my data. Cheers! JK

The GT4s were a limited engine production run prior to the MY06 model. Haven't heard of a GT4 with oil consumption probs which leads me to think whatever the problem is it only became such when they were doing "normal" production.

Voted No. Dealer gives me a litre bottle to top up between services which I tend to put in at about 5000 miles when its "gorn dawn a bit". And it does get revved to 7k - regularly!! JK

My lady friend doesnt like hers too tight so I bought a clip that stops it retracting all the way. Its called a CarPoint Seat Belt Stopper (www.carpointeurope.com). They do two models, its the small one without the hook on it that works in the Z. JohnK

That looks fun! Is it real or a v. good Photoshop?

(I need another fix!) I'm thinking of a mini-trip to the 'Ring on a midweek in July for a few more laps. Haven't finally made my mind up or got a detailed plan but the only weekday that month with afternoon opening is the 25th. Anyone else inclined? JohnK

NNNNNNNjoy!

I read it elsewhere! And I dont think it will be the concept car - I heard a whisper it would be the testing prototype as seen at the 'ring.

So .. the GTR eh? Interestingly its not in Nissan's press release for the event so it must be touch and go ....
