  1. Anyone interested in snow socks might be advised to check out the following thread of members using them: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=43502&hilit=snow+socks Some useful advice there as to the pros and cons. Best snow sock for the ZED is a garage IMO (if you are lucky enough to have one) prviding of course your ZED is not your only transport
  2. What about torque to weight? The R8 GT is higher in both power to weight and torque to weight. I wonder if it has anything to do with the launch control systems on these cars? That could make a big difference. The GTR with 4wd should clear the line quicker than the 458, but the R8? That should be clearing the line quicker than the GTR with its higher torque/weight and higher power to weight (only slightly higher on the former, but a good 20% higher on the latter). Alex's GTR just ate the R8 at Knockhill like it was standing still and that was on the pits straight, as I found out during my hot laps. On the corners the R8 was was way out of its depth - but put that down to the driving as opposed to the car
  3. Its just the way you wee Scots say it Hmmmmm........ perhaps I won't be so selective with the pics after all........ BTW - I have steered well clear of FB - there's enough on here of the social networking to read and especially now we have the forum groupie speed slut to look out for
  4. Finally got the HD clips together of Alex chasing down a fairly rapid Leon, with glrnet doing the timing. Spot the Caterham? outbraking itself for the hairpin and going into the gravel on the 3rd lap. ZMANALEX on track 7-9-2011 Had a great time there and thanks for the hot laps Alex - a real treat although I thought you could have got another half inch closer to that orange Caterham That was a truly memorable evening even if it cost me another handbag so I could excercise GUNS on the track. Just a few other pics that the handbag collector took. Helmet going on for one of 3 runs On my way to Duffas Dip (edit: opps...... its Duffus I'm told ......must be just the way they say it up there ) Andrew with whom I had some fun chasing And the master - not too blurred as he was on a slowing down lap on that side of the track for those wondering Waiting for the tranny fluid to cool for the next session Oh and thanks to Vik for helping to sort out our Hoon 'afters' and I haven't forgotten to post your pics - just deciding on which ones Hope I don't get a bill for the cone I flattened on the blind brow
  5. The side wall of the tyre has failed to cause the bump - (but usually egg shaped/sized), and is severely weakened. DO NOT DRIVE OTHER ON IT OTHER THAN VERY SLOWLY TO NEAREST TYRE FITER AS IT COULD SUDDENLY BURST WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES. I would recommend you consider taking it off the car and using your spacesaver, for yours and other road users sakes, but again only to get you to the tyre fitter. As said by others above, if the other tyre on that axle is in good shape with lots of tread then the replacement should be exactly the same type of tyre. If not and noting your budget is stretched then a pair of Falken 452's is not a bad choice (IMHO Ekona ) for normal road use. Run-flats are not normally used on 350's, but I expect someone will say they have them.
  6. There's quite a lot serving the Chelsea area too
  7. pm sent - if the pics do not come out on that something wrong with your computer/virus settings I would guess
  8. Had no issues with o2 (following Pipex that went rubbish) and a decent discount if your moby is with them
  9. +1 ...... me being young at heart And having just done some hot laps at Knockhill with ZMANALEX in his R35GTR (paddle-shift) I am sure his speed has increased with age A little sample (c/o Will350Z) :
  10. OK - I asked Toby what his understanding was and it seems the auto 370's are Band L but the manuals cross the 255 threshold and are in Band M. Both coupe models are in Band L though See this link about the roadsters: http://www.nissan.co.uk/GB/en/environme ... andLM.html
  11. Can't see any white line between the bays (if marked out).........so who was 'transgressing'.
  12. Welcome to the forum - nice ZED there and edited your post so the pics appear
  13. Now owned by rabster on here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=51167&p=752965#p752965
  14. Thread locked as seats sold
  15. Welcome to the forum and 370 ownership. Not too far then from Chris`I (admin) on here who is Basingstoke way and has a (quartz) Black Edition
  16. Guess for you getting older is worse than pulling teeth But we know how you can party : so enjoy
  17. I'm banned from driving June round there again
  18. Can understand you might not be arsed with the hassle over an extra £15, but you are not alone due to the incompetence of the DVLA call centres: http://www.parkers.co.uk/News/Road-tax/ ... tax-rules/ All 370's are in Class L - that is what mine is, and Class L is the tax I pay: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/sum ... 770&page=3 Enough ammo with the links supplied if you don't like being ripped off So up to you
  19. I would challenge that: http://www.nissan.co.uk/GB/en/environme ... andLM.html Tax Bands.pdf
  20. I should have read page 3-15 of the owner's handbook first There is a switch provided behind the passenger seat to turn the ultrasonic and tilt sensors off.
  21. What made it it so special is that everyone who attended help contribute in all sorts of ways to make it a truly memorable event and for me hearing comments from others at places we attended saying how much they could see us enjoying ourselves was special too. Just wish we had a few more members along to enjoy it - but next time huh?
  22. Its band L for the 370 Chris As regards the seating, at 5' 9" that should be ideall with the range of seat adjustment available and the height adjustment of the wheel, given the fact that the designers are more likely to be that height than gits like me at 6' 2". But I can appreciate the wing mirror size can be an 'obstacle' and whereas I do not have that problem with my height the obscured rear view is my biggest issue with the black surround to the rear window cutting off the tops of following cars. Maybe I'll have to lok at a rear view mirror that sits just a little lower than standard
