  1. All the more reason to visit the IOM
  2. I would hope not just yet on a 370
  3. Is it really worth saving £50-£60 by getting a friendly garage to do it. If you post up your location I'm sure locals will be able to recommend somewhere
  4. To be fair Colin, how much car tax gets spent on the roads anyway? Not enough judging by all the potholes! Agreed - that is why I did not specify what our car tax was spent on I should have added "with the bonus of dodging the increasing number of potholes on the remaining road that we can use"
  5. And who is paying for their cycle lanes, signs etc - yep, certainly not the cyclists whilst our car tax goes up with less of the road to use Oh forgot, round our way pavements are fair game for their use - perhaps that's why they don't have to pay
  6. And 3 grand cheaper than the Polo GTi and just as well specced..... and then I'm sure there ar those out there that might say the same about Nissan v Infiniti the other way round........like those who opt for a Cayman/TT/Z4 purely because of badge snobbery and pay a premium rather than have a 370 (I'm not talking about enthusiasts here but those who have the money but have no understanding of what the cars are really like to drive/own) Car manufacture has moved on while you been worrying too much about that odd looking item you must have in your crotch
  7. click on the 'ads and extras' button (and other options) http://www.skodafabia-vrs.co.uk/
  8. I agree - getting paid for crystall ball gazing - looks like another 'U'-turn for the Government now on climate change
  9. Its not a rule but once the bots get it anyone can and you can end up being plagued by spam calls. Your call though as you can re-insert the number in one of your posts if you wish. Once it has been deleted we don't have it to put it back.
  10. Happy birthday young-un and enjoy or
  11. Well now you have joined us and we are open what more do you want
  12. Seems some have had successful repairs: viewtopic.php?f=70&t=44020 Edit: and this is what I recall that was said in the US: "Hyper silver is a lead based metallic silver paint over a black base coat. The lead based paint is not legal for sale in the US because of its toxicity. If you get a duplicolor, it won't be exactly the same as hyper silver because you're not laying down the black base coat first. (I'm not sure if the 370z's wheels are hypersilver to begin with) The way silver wheels are made is either 1) silver powdercoat or 2) silver paint with clear powdercoat over the top. Paint without a protective coating is not very durable. If you youtube "rays forged wheels" there's a video that shows how they forge, heat cure and powder coat. Any type of touch up paint will just covering be up the marks that have went through the thick protective coating. The only way to feally "fix" it is through "wheel refinishing", where they strip the coating, sand blast the wheel, repaint it and apply new clear coat. Lot's of companies offer this and will run $200-250 a wheel." and another comment "Yep, my repair guy stated the same, metallic silver over a black base coat. I will say this, he was very good at duplicating the finish on the repairs he did for me on my 2006 350. If I didn't point it out to people, they didn't notice. Even pointing out the repair, you really couldn't see it. It is one of the harder colors to repair though"
  13. Think you will find a new wheel on its own will be a grand That looks easily repairable to me just a case of getting a specialist to do the work so that the final finish matches. I have seen something about the the paint used - will try to find it.
  14. Making a mental note: Do not visit Trafford centre - it smells
  15. 17" - drifters might like them, but otherwise......
  16. Button is second in the world championship..... why does he need to up his game? I think you are confused with Hamilton! Mr Beavis and I have had a certain ongoing debate over the years on here about the relative merits of him being a Lewis fan and me a Button fan and as usual he has lifted an old quote of mine (from the result of the Chinese GP on 17/4) into this latest post race discussion. And as I said in response, I think we can safely say Button has now done just that and upped his game. Lewis is a racer - more so than Jenson has ever been, but he lacks a wise head on his shoulders and so whilst he may be quick I'm afraid we seeing too much of the red mist hence why he is cocking-up in what of late is coming over as desperation for results. As we have now seen over recent seasons, it is invariably the car/team strengths that will decide the Championship driver and it is highly unlikely anyone other than Vettel will now succeed this year.....
  17. Why? I am 47 and Colin and ChrisS are older than the hills, yet we still like to have our bit of fun and still do Thought you had missed that decade out Ian - it was looking that way as your engine got pulled apart in Wales As for this old man I am really getting tempted by the R8's (before I can't bend that low to get in)
  18. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44799&hilit=BT+ADAPTOR&p=674012#p674012
  19. One claim that was successful viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12643&hilit=roadster+roof+repair see page 3: "I'm pleased to let you all know after a dozen or so letter's to people at Nissan including one that was translated into Japanese for us that was sent to japan . they have agreed to replace the roof free of charge. i have to say we had a lot of help from Wessex Newport they have been very helpful"
  20. He hs a 350 - you have a 370? and I assumed as he'd answered he had a 370z His sig is a bit of a give-away, so I would call that '15 all'
  21. He hs a 350 - you have a 370?
  22. Glad I was not the only one neo-ninja
