You have great taste Jay In which case, why not ask for all 4 to be done in say the Anniversary/GT Edition colour when you have signed on the line - I certainly have that in mind myself a little later on.....

Good points there Rich. We all know there are wasters in public service and that includes some of the highly overpaid managers that have come in from the private sector in recent years who have no idea about the service they enter and frankly end up making stupid cuts that most can see is simply about justifying their inflated salaries. And that Chesterfield is what is distorting the average pay in the public service nowadays. We also know the ridiculous sums of money that can be made in the private sector. I never use the word "earn" because how you can ever say someone, like a trader, paid £1m a year is worth 40 times more than say someone, like a nurse, on £25k a year? How would a banker face life and death situations each working day - are we really saying his share dealing is 40 times more important in the pay scales -so he can buy the most expensive champagne and luxury/preformance cars? Let's not forget, the root cause of the financial problems we have was caused by the private sector - the 'money houses', aided and abetted by weak politicians - the buggers you and I elect, not appoint. That said, it has been a real eye opener since I changed from the public sector to the private sector - being your own boss and using the expertise gained working in the public sector was the best thing I ever did. But then when I have to deal with the public sector it can be like stone and blood as I have been seen as jumping ship - the us and them divide which I see coming through in this thread, because we have all been hit one way or another. I'm still smarting over an endowment that didn't get near to covering the mortgage sum insured, messed up by guess who... Frankly I think the *ankers have got away with daylight robbery on massive scales and yet they are still awarding themselves lottery money bonus - they are the ones that have caused the financial crises that should be slammed, not your average private/public sector worker who end up being the victims in all of this. The fact that 77% of the public sector did not vote for the strike action confirms to me a least that the vast majority are resigned to taking a hit on their pensions in just the same way the average private sector worker has seen their pension (savings) being taken away - no guesses by who

Rim damage makes you wonder if he hit a kerb that caused the tyre to partly come off a flay around until it departed company altogether. He was very lucky not to have ended up totalling the car altogether, whatever the speed

I wondered why you kept getting up close and personal on the Hoon

leave the lad alone - he clearly has great taste

Any H & S thinking of watching this - just turn away now

+1

Anyone know which one(s) is known to work

They must think if you need a tracker it is more nickable, but why anyone would want to nick one of those

the cat is, and I like it

Maybe both are connected to the repair following this that you posted back in March? viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46635&p=685569#p685569 If so, then I would take it back for them to sort out.

Good wishes - you will be missed and thanks for the great work you have done as a meet organizer. As the others have said, stick around and once your business is booming - maybe a 370, eh

By popular request -made by Daryl on here (one of Red Bull's FI carbon team) and kindly arranged by glrnet Just because he felt all left out at the last Wales drive not having a collaspable bucket to keep his 'pride and his joy' clean (sorry couldn't resist that one Graham ). So I got him one to put the smurf smile back, and in return he goes gets this made for me as a one-off. How cool is that. All set now for next drives, and a lucky few can have personal viewing tomorrow

What are you running at the moment?

I'm not so sure - we are seeing a lot more focused drift/trackday/track members now aside from those of us who follow other motorsport (yes, for me from the armchair mainly nowadays ). Can include the FI thread interest that has a lot of regular followers on here. So I think, like the build projects sub-forum recently created that has taken off, it is a good idea

Iain10101?? You don't know your south coast geography too well

Here you go Stan A ZED for 3, its cheap and you will get 550 miles on a tankfull @ 90mph OK its black rather than Midnight Blue, but at 50 paces that's hard to tell. viewtopic.php?f=41&t=56055

Quality pics and like the 'starburst' look of those LEDs. What also caught my eye is just how the bumper colour significantly changes on that 'grey' 370 in the photos. Its not just the white that suffers

i thought it was more like the freemasons, where you had to wait to be invited, and then you were taught the secret handshake. We're more like the Round Table. We invite you to come along, explain the craic, then decide if you are gonna be able to do the job or not. No funny handshakes, but you do have to be able to complete the ECU pedal dance 5 times in a row without blinking. round table? i heard it was more like dante's 7th circle of hell? Nope. No violence at all shown to others here. As the most mature team member (well on the age count at least ) I can vouch that statement is totally and utterly untrue. No mercy for the old

Just off for a hearing test

No use trying to go off topic 'cos we don't like your sticker

I fear one of the local graffiti artists will go and complete that unfinished 8 before 5 December.

Bonnet: Sticker: you are undermining the the quality of the rest of your car

Teach him for trying to get his leg over on the back seat

Having tried the auto recently for a few days, it reminded me why I didn't consider it when I was looking for a 370 in 2009, having previously driven both manual and auto on track and on the road. The fact the paddles are fixed to the column rather than the wheel shows that Nissan decided they would have more wheel shuffler customers than otherwise. Auto might be fine if you do a lot of commuting but fortunately I don't so that a greater percentage of my time in the car involves 'spirited driving' and crossed arms. In that style, trying to hit the left or right paddles through tightening/easing bends is not so easy, whereas it is only your left hand that needs to leave the wheel for the manual changes. Now if the paddles moved round with the wheel............... Besides which I also found the engine braking less effective and 2nd gear in auto is just two low in the 7 ratios so that on the tighter corners of some of my faourite roads it was 3rd gear, without hitting too many revs so that the drive out of the corners meant the engine's ideal torque range was missing. I also found myself too often using the brakes for deceleration on corner approaches rather than feeling I was in the right gear for a particular corner and the drive out. Just my personal findings of course. OK practice might improve my impression of the auto, but it isn't for me
