Ebized

Yup. VQ engines have always been noted as being harsh top end. Not helping the matter is the VQ37VHR revs even higher and is more harsh. Saying that, its not normally noticed as a vibration, more the engine sounds harsh hence my comments about a new exhaust. Maybe you should take it for a quick once over at the dealers? Unfortunately I cant rev mine that high just yet, still under 1k miles. Colin (Ebized) or Mat should be able to confirm as they have more miles on theirs. Can't say that I find the engine 'harsh' at high revs but then again, as Chris says, with the Stillen cat-back exhaust I had fitted with just 250 miles on the clock I have not heard it as standard. But going back to when I got to drove the fully run-in 370 examples at Silverstone with the standard exhaust systems, I can't say I was aware of undue harshness then - ah - just rembered had the crash helmet on Having given mine some beans around Wales recently it is truly a step up from the 350 And it is nice to have some great torque in the mid range which makes overtaking when cruising effortless - even more so than with the 276 or 296 350's and they, as everyone on here who has a 350 knows, are no slouches in that department

Yep, that is a downside of Wales too many sheep about - not sure how to resolve that one All adds to the fun but if any of you found some good roads whilst looking for the pack let us know

Looks stunning Chris - in the flesh that Quartz is truly supurb and love the red wheel calipers. Shame I didn't wait around 6 months as that would have been my choice too, but it would have to be a manual - I'm not old enough yet for hand controls Once you get the Stillen on it will transform the car and with the intakes you have opted for as well it is going to sound awesome Our two 370's sat ready for the off at the Sportsmans Arms in Wales for a rear-end comparison, with Markie trying to get his in on the act as well

Some 4K miles on and Stillen + syncro rev match when giving it some beans = but on the motorway its a dream - just a slightly deeper note than the he OEM exhaust and easy conversation at the usual cruising speeds

Some nice pics there John - shame about the reflection in the last one

Do a search - 'best tyres' in the 'tyre's section Falkens/Toyos/Vred Sesstanas are popular choices at reasonable prices - and you should really have the same of all 4 corners to be sure you can get the best from the car, in safety

Do you reckon the fuel warnings to Lewis and Jenson was just an excuse so they would cool it and not repeat Seb's balls-up

Cheers Chris - that's done it - I had not inserted the drawing canvas (right at the foot of the drop-down menu) which you did not have to do before Many thanks, the Forum has saved me again And to save others reading about my IT illiteracy the thread is locked

I'm looking for the hopefully easy answer........... If you paste a picture into Office Word 2007, insert (say) an arrow from the 'shapes' tab, how do you group that pic and the arrow together so they can be copied and pasted elsewhere - that worked perfectly OK with the earlier version of Word using XP Pro, but havn't found the trick with Windows 7

Its still an issue on the 370 when cold but when it is warm it mostly works OK with just the first push.

Having trouble 'grouping' objects/text on pictures/photos in Word documents. I can group all the objects together OK but can't seem to group with the base pic/photo so that when I want to copy and paste into a document (reports I have to do) they don't stay together. With XP Pro it worked fine but any mannner of right clicking/Ctrl/Shift etc just will not pick up the base pic/photo Its OK when I save as a pdf but then when I need to amend (in Word) its a right hassle now. Or is there a simple way to reconvert a pdf to Word as I have never conquered the Adobe drawing options, finding the Word drawing tools option previously sufficient for my purposes. Help

Thanks guys - keep comments coming - all (sensible ) suggestions/ideas welcomed. I am sure we could arrange a shopping trip (mini-bus) for the +1's on the Saturday who would prefer to go into Chester or wherever, (must remember to leave room in the boot for the journey home ). I gather that all the rooms will be refurbed before next year - just have to see what that does price-wise

+1 and some of us are even older

Many happy returns Mrs T (Hope Mr T survives the announcement on the forum )

See this thread for more detail - someone had a similar query: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=36314&start=0

I have on a personal level, but one thing I feel they could do with is an ATM so that will go on the 'list' if others agree.

Well, going by the comments on the Wales photos thread it seems most had a good time last weekend but like evrything there is always rom for improvement (but please don't ask for weather guarantees ) What Dave and I would like to know is what you would liked and did not like and suggestions to improve the next Wales drive outs/meets. So here's your chance. If those who could not attend because of say timing reasons, please also chip in. BUT, there is always a but , any spamming posts will be deleted as we want to focus on genuine issues so improve everyones experience as far as we can. Over to you guys EDIT:

Same display as they had at Japfest (Castle Coombe)

Ah! - the flock of sheep herded by an 8-year old (or thereabouts) across the road in front of me How many of you 'took air' across the two most challenging yumps on that road - if you didn't, you weren't trying I know a certain mod on here will be giving me the thumbs up to that question

Who is that daft p..t washing his car in the dark
