  1. https://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-features/ph-meets-lanzantes-f1-engined-porsche-930/39779 Trust it will be used as intended and not sat as a showpiece.
  2. Sorry, but from everything we have seen over the last 10 years+ on this debate, all it has done is to show there is no clear cut evidence that V-Power has anything more to offer than Momentum. In my book it is rather like saying clothes with "designer" labels will mean they will last better than clothes without, whereas the reality is they are chosen primarily for the name and that is more important for some than worrying about the extra cost that others will be thinking about. There are so many other factors that will affect engine longevity than petrol brands, but for those who like to explore the red-line when the opportunity arises what we do know is that regular use of anything less than 97/98ron can, maybe not always, lead to premature failures.
  3. Apologies Andy - had intended to pop along but haven't shifted a cold that I would hate to pass onto others, so will have to wait to the next time
  4. Nice roadster Just a word of caution noting you are planning on fitting 20mm spacers - they will not fit on the front due to the wheel design that means the OEM studs projecting through 20mm spacers do not allow the wheels to sit flush on the spacer. No issues on the rear. You need 23mm+ spacers - 25mm are what I used and do the job after finding the 3mm 'slip spacers' originally fitted with the 20mm distorted resulting in vibration. This thread might help you more:
  5. Not on his own.........the camo suit works well
  6. Recently I've noticed when using Google maps in Apple Car Play in both the Porsche and the Polo that fixed speed cameras are being warned orally, again not 100% and so far have not included average speed cameras (i.e. M23 which maybe to do with them only being there while the road work is going on). What Ekona says is true though, using your eyes is the most reliable source and your head when that right foot seems to feel the need for muscular movement.........
  7. 'Cos he knows in your case which side his toast is buttered, eh
  8. Loads of good info here: I believe the 370 roadster is no longer available new, so that could well mean s/h prices will hold up better. Personally, I loved every minute of the 370 I had for near-on 5 years.
  9. The only real difference you will notice is your bank balance going down quicker using V-power instead on Momentum.

    donut muppet

    This worked for me - link is same as Neos https://news.sky.com/video/driver-doing-donuts-shuts-down-motorway-11635475 This one is more eye-opening.... https://news.sky.com/story/the-fast-furious-and-deadly-craze-of-street-racing-leaves-dozens-dead-in-the-us-11463907
  12. No point in repeating what has recently been debated
  13. Why not try this as it was just before the accident? Or see if your Nissan garage would be preparec to put the prices they mentioned in writing?
  14. Hang on...... You drove the car to the garage? If so the steering lock IF IT HAS ONE has not failed then? From all the info we have seen, and I have just trawled through umpteen posts on other 370 forums as well as all the tech stuff issued in current Nissan blurb, and I can find no reference to 2012 and onwards 370s having steering locks, so if it were me I would be seriously questioning the dealer's findings. First and foremost, clarify if your car has a steering look - get the question raised at Nissan customer services using the fault code(s) the dealer has found.
  15. My reference NeeZ to your post was the idea of info being provided against by a previous owner being unlikely, hence my link. The following info in my post was nothing to do with your suggestion.
  16. If nothing was declared when the previous owner was selling to Stu, then it is unlikely they would divulge now - see here as a quick reference example: http://www.problemneighbours.co.uk/what-you-have-declare-about-neighbours-when-selling.html Single biggest reason when it comes down to it and having worked in the planning process all my working life as both gamekeeper and poacher involved in thousands of neighbour complaints was:- JEALOUSY, that comes in many forms. Relatively few were ever found to be otherwise (or admitted by either party) and those resolved amicably were when the parties were sat down together face to face and talking to each other, usually encouraged by others or advisors. Failing which it would end up in a legal process costing silly amounts of money when stubbornness kicked in. My advice if a face to face discussion is rejected or gets nowhere, is to talk to a solicitor to find the pros and cons or taking the matter further.
  17. That Mazda 3 does look good to my eyes, and having had a Mazda 2 not so long ago the build quality was excellent.
  18. And if you do move house but have a recorded issue with neighbours, then that has to be declared in the legal docs and of course that can easily put off potential purchasers. So this:

    Tyre Query

    I ran Falkens on the 350 and at the time thought they were great...... But then I found out on the 370 just how good a premium tyre - MPSS were in comparison - it was really night and day and that was also compared to the Bridgestones that were supplied new on the 370. The reason I bought the 350's and the 370 are because they were (and still are) one of the best drivers cars, but to enjoy their full potential the most important factor are the tyres, period. OK, if you are not someone who likes to get the most out of their car then why buy a performance car in the first place?
  20. From today's meet - and some great banter and a good breakfast Another pic from today, coldish (as Andy's face shows!), but sunny for a good scenic drive home:
