LIST AS AT 1/9/2010

Having driven both (an auto at Silverstone both on track and on the road) there is honestly little to choose in terms of fast road driving. The auto certainly has the edge if you do a lot of commute/town driving though. Why I did opt for the manual? Because it has the edge on the twisty bits IMO and if you need to jump a gear or two its quicker. I do drive/brake very much using the engine braking (I have been accused of removing my brake lights) and for me the pleasure of being in the right gear through sweeping corners without the need to brake and using the torque of the engine is what makes it such a great driver's car - just like the 350 was, although I found the torque of the 296 engine just that little less responsive and not so good to balance with the brakes than the 276 on the Welsh roads. Just me I expect I had a Brabus Smart at one time for work - great fun with the flappy paddles (as no manual option) so I am certainly not against them and the fact so many supercars are so equipped these days shows how far they have come but I'm afraid this old git still likes to exercise his left leg at the end of the day although perhaps I ought to start left foot braking Oh, and yes the 'sport' mode is always on - one of the best features about the 370 - no more double de-clutching on the downshiifts and hope you get it right - every time spot on whether it is one or more gears you are dropping at once.

But that was when you had lost weight

Interesting Springy........so what do you know that gives the Force India its straight line speed, and given it is no slouch in the twisty bits?

You hoping to fill the vacany Chris, now with your supercar experience I think you would overfill the Stig's suit though

Just waiting for all the mods to cast their votes - when they get back from their and recovered from being

Not knowing Dave or his 'sock' too well I'll leave that to your diplomatic skills

Cos I'm a good commission I wish Seriously, to really enjoy the 370 an exhaust change from the OEM system transforms the car even more than with the 350's - sorry

Good news

Don't forget, in rothers profession they are so used to filling everthing in duplicate - it just comes natural but good pics, and you have been spotted Mike prowling around - no wonder Nixy was looking worried

obligatory in your case although knowing you I expect the car will be sporting a few little extras by then so best you put some clothes on too A few more details, like you got anyone brave enough to passenger with you, do you eat etc would be handy

opps - I got it right on the main list though

That's enough blood for one thread

Ouch! although I bet you said something a little more than that when the realization of not driving dawned And remember, you've only got a month to get it fixed or you'll have to change your sig

I never found it particularly exciting putting plastic over my pride and joy, but didn't ever have to revert to a splint

Welcome to the world of :Ds Memories of my first ZED which was a UK04 Blade (silver) one Good shout Will - just thundered around the M54 last Sunday and Wednesday to sort the routes for that weekend so I know you are not far Matt from our base at Moreton - click on the link in my sig for more details. Be good to see you there

I understand your reason for looking at dealers cars to get the p/x but at the money you are looking to spend it is unlikely they will ever have a good example as you will normally find advertised on specialist forums like this one. All very obvious, but when you then take into account the trade-in price on your p/x, the dealers profit (aside from any work he has to do on the car before sale), unless he is really desperate to make a sale at those s/h price levels you are looking at for a ZED, then I can only wish you luck. But you really ought to think about privately selling yours, at say the money you have been offered by the trade. Some reports back about "we buy any car.com" are less than encouraging but then others have found they got more than the trade would give But it will then leave you with a budget to buy a really cherished example on here or another specialist private sales area. If you need wheels 24/7 and don't have others you can use in between selling and buying then I fully accept that makes life difficult, but thats when a reality check has to step in. When buying new/nearly new the margins are usually more flexible for the trade, in my experience, and of course you don't get the wear & tear issues the beneft of drive in the old and drive out the new. That time will come for you.

Looks the business - and you can come and take my photos any day
