I'm sure the same was said of many of the 'massed produced' ones on here when they were relatively young http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.s ... oodpreview Colin, you can't compare Ferrari F40's and classic Aston Martins, to mass produced Nissans, of which there are ten's of thousands of teenagers in America alone, driving them around as their first cars!!! It's a good car, yes, but let's not get short sighted here. No issue with your F40/AM selection but when you look at the numbers of 911e's; mustangs and 280sl's made then the 350 when compared to its present day rivals and will be seen as a great value for money driver's car. And if thousands of teenagers are using them as first cars that will help to ensure numbers are decimated. Anyway, someone on here has to bang the drum for our little number

Not having the Premium Connect in my 370 the sat nav is similar (if not the same) as the last generation 350's. No Post Codes but it quickly recognizes the town then street you are after and you pin point place in the road easily. But obviously not as quick as if it had the post code functionality. But I use it largely for the 350z-uk drives we do, where post codes are in the main not known. Has got me round the routes (leading and with no passenger) so far without fail although the 5 way-point limitation means the longer all day drives have to be split in two. I also find the split screen/ birds eye views when you approach junctions/roundabouts very accurate. Yep, the paper map is now rarely used so my +1 is redundant

No question that 350's will become one of the all-time classics and yours is one of the best GT4's around. Unless you have to sell it I would say keep it as an 'investment' because in a few years time I have no doubt that prices will start going back up - seeing that Bonhams thread recently just shows you what a really good classic and some not that 'old', like the Lancia Integrale in the right spec will fetch, even in difficult financial times.

Nice to see a 350 being used in rallies - I think the video is a repost but nice to watch

Thread locked, but pm me if you didn't mean for that (and heading edited )

Yep - the garden looks great

If it is TGM Sport - yes they come highly recommended (and having used them myself) - I'm sure Tom there can sort you out And Zmanalex can suply the parts - see his sub-forum

as my ban button is getting a bit rusty

good luck with your bid

A good and important point Pete as to why we are in the mess - i.e. the endowment mortgage I took out 25 years ago (before the FSA was set up) with 'promises' at the time I should get at least double the £30k supposedly covered at the end, but instead I am getting about 2/3rds of the £30k to cover the mortgage pay-off, all because those who invest "our" money fecked up and got greedy. That failing has affected us all, including public authorities who had sought and had planned to make up the known shortfalls which Chesterfiled mentions (which has been done for many decades) by entrusting money to the 'private' sector but who got it so badly wrong big-time, aided and abetted by useless politicians world wide not contolling the money markets and that is why we are all affected now. Remember the Icelandic banks crash and the worry of the knock-on effects to many Local Authorities who have to pay the teachers wages etc. Having worked in the public sector most of life in the last 10 years I have worked for myself. I know I can earn a lot more now, if I want to, in my professional vocation than when I was in the public sector. (Chesterfield - you are right about average salaries in the public sector being higher, but that relates to the relatively high proportion of adminstrative staff whereas there is no question that those with professional qualifications are far better off in the private sector and when seen to do well as employees will be rewarded accordingly - something that does not happen in the public sector) But as those who work in the public sector will know, the bureauracy and systems brought about by many of the 'high flyers' enticed in from the private sector with ridiculous salaries, to supposedly improve management and save money in the last 20 years mainly failed to work. In reality, it led to far worse working conditions for the front line and experienced staff tearing their hair out over new incentives that were either time-wasters or just demonstrated that the new powers in charge had no basic understanding of what the public they are in place to serve wanted/needed. That simply demotivated staff and was the main reason why I and many others I know have jumped ship in the last decade to the private sector and never looked back. With this country now seen as a virtual charity, with easy pickings for the worlds waifes and strays who can get in, or we seem to find billions to prop up other countries (invariably a higher proportion than most other conributing countries), it is not surprising that those of us born and bred here paying our high taxes do feel we are being taken for mugs. I do understand the frustration of those who dedicated their lives to public service and will never aspire to expensive houses, cars or safe investments - the fall-back private pension pots for the fortunate few. So for teachers and the like who had thought they might see their retirement years out without having to call on public handouts, which this country still seems all to ready to provide with far too many not prepared to do an honest days work in their lives if they can get away with it, it is a bitter pill to swallow. Unfortunately though and whilst I understand the current public service frustration, as others have said it affects the vast majority of us that are not fortunate enough to join the increasing number of million/billionaires - many from the financial world who will see out their years in luxury. It is that end of the gulf where the real money is that needs to be addressed IMO, rather than the debate about the pros and cons of the average public/private sector workers lot which has been argued over many decades. Like Husky said a while back, most in their early years do not think about their pensions its only when family responsibiities and middle age appears that those in public service started to wonder how much they would get. And even more these days I sense a greater "live for today and worry about tomorrow attitude". The very fact more people are renting than buying property, primarily because of the financial institutions greed, serves to suggest that what we all having to prepare for more support for those who do not have property to downsize to release extra funds because the state pension/other income support will become even more important, irrespective or public/private employment, given many will have no savings to speak of to draw on.

They are included in the sale (given the 19" quoted and pics): Full Nismo factory fitted body kit 19" Rays Alloy Wheels (Original factory alloys also available brand new with tyres) So Steve has his present LMGT4s that can be sold

An example of what can be done - compare the before and after pics on the first page viewtopic.php?f=53&t=44749&hilit=leather

Aside from the 335bhp nonsense given the ad says nothing about how such an output has been achieved and tells me the owner does not know the finer points of his car very well, with all the Nismo extras and low mileage that does seem like a good buy. Providing of course Temper Orange is your thing as in the flesh it is brighter and has a nice pearlescent finish that tose pics taken in a shady area don't reveal

Not sure the hazzard warning light switch is accessed by taking the dash apart. Isn't it next to the handbrake? It is in front of the gearlever on a facelift (see pic in this thread) viewtopic.php?f=53&t=18700&hilit=facelift

Rotten luck Dave - hope the van driver has put his hand up to being in the wrong. Afrer your tintenet problems you now have a holiday spoiled too Thought I was going to see a page of these - so guess you are resigned to the grief life throws at you at times. Hope you get it sorted OK

But many of us have used guys/garages who we know do a super job and are far removed from those cowboys out there

I tend to agree but if bling is your thing..........

Didn't work Mart - you are now
