I know, I know, just clinging onto small comforts that we can leave the at home this year

From the Met Office UK Outlook for Wednesday 1 May 2013 to Wednesday 15 May 2013: Current indications suggest fairly typical spring weather will continue into the start of May. In the absence of any strong signals for trends in precipitation through the start of the month, it is most likely that there there will be periods of rain or showers, particularly across northern and western parts, but also drier and brighter interludes, especially in the south and east. Temperatures will be generally near average, if not slightly below, particularly across coastal areas, but it may turn warmer, especially inland, in any sunnier spells. During the latter part of the period, there are suggestions that the weather turns more settled across the UK, with below average rainfall and more sunshine. As a result, temperatures are likely to recover somewhat, and it may turn warm in places. Looking promising

Letter arrived today from Nissan GB about the "Vehicle Campaign" and "process of continuous improvement" - code for a recall Obviously the message did not get through mine had been done a week ago as the forum were on the ball

Was thinking the same. I think it adds to the cars character, Having bought a new 2006 facelift 350 and a 370 there is no doubt the 350 standard exhaust was more sporty sounding. In comparison, the 370 is so quiet IMO it fails to convey you are in a "Sports" car and it also has the downside of allowing more engine noise in the cabin which, yes at the top end of the rev range can sound a bit harsh. Putting a Nismo exhaust on the 350 transformed the sound quality enormously (as well as looking ultra ). Putting the Stillen exhaust on the 370 didn't just transform the sound quality it makes you feel you are in a sports car (the fact it looks pretty good and added around 18bhp are nice bonuses )

Related to this, which has more info. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/70105-read-this/ In which case this thread is locked so as to not have 2 on the same subject.

Not a 350/370 engine bay, that is for sure!

Don't be tempted - DO IT. Its clowns like these on our streets that need a lesson

I doubt that is the tyre rubbing on anything as it would be the whole way round. Given how worn the tyres are and you can see the canvas below I wonder if this the tyre starting to split, shall we say been put under a lot of sideways loading As for adding pics, uses a photobucket/flicker or what-have-you host and copy the URL into the little green image box when you use "more reply options"

Trust the police were called an he/she gets done for obstruction

New thread here covering the funeral and donations and any further messages: http://www.350z-uk.c...-and-donations/ This thread now locked.

A big thanks to glrnet, octet, The Bounty Bar Kid and smudgeon for coming along to the funeral. The ZED theme was a direct request of Amy and Mark's family and we were very fortunate the officials at the crematorium put rules aside to allow us to park the cars as you see in the pics - and many thanks for those to Adrian. Oh, and it was nice to hear from many - both family and friends how they appreciated a visual reminder of Mark's passion in his last years. The firm Mark worked for - Smith & Byford, shut their operation for the day to allow their employees to attend, such was the high esteem Mark was held in. And as those on here who have been fortunate to know him, such a thoroughly likeable fella who never let the fact he knew for some time he had a terminal illness, get him down. I would estimate there were over 150 attendees at the funeral, including G1nger8readman (Geoff) on here - a great buddy of Marks, who one day hopes to be back in a 350. We now know Mark's passion for fast cars comes from - his mum. Quite a petrolhead it turns out. But my heart does go out to Amy who had been Mark's partner for over 8 years and the one thing Mark was determined to do for her in last 3 days of his life was to marry her. So typical of the man whose thoughts were more for others than his own mortality. All of the comments expressed on the previous thread were put together in a little presentation as a memento for Amy. We are going to keep the donation opportunity running until post the Wales weekend (and noting what Graham has said ^^^^^) Please, support that cause if you can - it would be great to see at least £350/£370 being raised from this forum http://www.justgiving.com/350zuk

Most of us are on here because we enthuse about ZED ownership and having coughed up lots of our hard-earned. And yet posts appear by owners that really only serve as ammo for those looking to get in on ownership on the cheap. Strange old world.

Post No.589 might be a clue
