So, were the locals right in your case Great pics and story and enjoy your life together

Many congratulations to you and mum

For both the 350 & 370 (UK models)?

Main thing is that neither you nor anyone else was hurt - just a huge dent in your pride and very understandable given your car history and dedication to learning to drive fast and well on track. And there is no doubt IMO, and in my experience, that skills you learn driving on the limit in controlled conditions does help you understand how a car behaves and know your own ability, something that should not be under-estimated but also serves to ensure you are a more informed driver on the road. But also I would expect 99% of our members are on this forum because driving is more than an A to B exercise - sadly something for the vast majority of drivers out there is their only focus and who take no interest in learning more after passing their test. Back to your situation Dan, I have to ask the question. Unless I missed it you do not say what the tyre situation was on the car - something very dear to your heart. My guess is that they were the right tyre for the car and in A1 condition...............? Were all 4 fully inflated after the accident and did you check the pressures to see if they were as they should be afterwards? As Mr Lizard mentioned, just maybe, if the tyres were all OK, one of the driving wheels may have caught something on the surface enough for it to spin up but then only you know whether that car was bereft of driver aids (TVR style), or otherwise to help those circumstances. Had you been pushing on or it was chucking it down you would have been 100% focused on the slide potential so whilst you are kicking yourself for letting the car get away from you it sounds like it was a more relaxed outing that on any other day would not have produced dramas. Take heart from a friend of mine who during an interview for the post as a journalist on a leading performance car magazine was asked whether he had ever had a bad accident in a car and having come clean and said he had written one off then found he was offered the job with the advice that he will then know what it is like to experience an accident, which they had found made their road testers less likely to repeat. In time as your confidence returns - and it will, I expect you will actually look back on this as another lesson learnt to make you an even better driver.

It's now £4 in Asda

Your for sale thread heading has been edited and the thread locked...........before you change your mind again

Thread locked as the OP has had a change of heart - sensible man!

Just to confirm, pre-Connect Premium equipped 370's do not have the speed camera option

out of retirement?

Brings back memories of a visit to a track day there last March when a DB9 went off into the gravel -see pics in my post (No.6) here: http://www.350z-uk.c...ne#entry1015114 and his mirror was shattered by trying to reverse out of the kitty litter....as well as doing a lot of other damage

Sad to see

Some light reading here that might help http://www.nicoclub....pe/2007/brc.pdf

I was going to say the replaced parts look somewhat upside down??

H & S, rules common sense these days aided and abetted by weather forecasters who would often do better holding a wet finger in the air

As they say, the olduns are the best

Stand by Traders! Oh BTW

Better to ask "what haven't you done to it now Ady?" - it won't take him so long to reply

My, only one scare - last nights sedatives must still be working

Yet again Lady Luck not on Mark's side - potentially the only realistic challenger to Seb as clearly RB are in a different league, just like Ferrari were in the Schumacher era. Just frustrating no other team could give their drivers a car to really test how good Seb is on a level playing field. So the best team one and while it is frustrating the driver champion was all too predictable let's hope 2014 and the new Regs bring forward much better competition at the sharp end........ That said, I have warmed to Seb who seems to be trying hard to be liked and his dedication to the sport is 100%. So, congratulations must go the team and Seb for wrapping up both the constructors and drivers championships today.

If anyone knows, he will

I use to use that but then supply went dead so changed to RainX which works fine for me - nicely beads off the rain off the windscreen at 50+ and no squeaking/smearing when I do use with the wipers. So @ £3 a punt and needing some more, thanks for the heads up

I've locked this thread now you have pmed

pm me with what what you want done - providing its something we Mods can do hope to help or I'll get Admin to sort it for you

Did you not look in the FAQ/Guides section then http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63099-z-badge-installation/

+1 before you potentially waste £85 as we have seen endless posts about this issue and it is often the cause. Remember as your pads get worn fluid goes down in the reservoir and ZEDs do like a full glass .......
