First guess - as its a roadster and you guys like to show off the inside so much and don't have so many buttons to play with - a change of steering wheel?

sums it up well

Went down well with the wife

They are not dangerous - there is no way Nissan would allow their use if that were the case. How many times have we read about owners losing their cars exiting roundabouts etc. Its mostly down to what you do with your right foot, particuarly when its a rwd car with high bhp. TVR's are notorious for tank slappers as they have no TC/ESP (or whatever you want to call it) and no tyre in the world is going to save you if you don't drive according to the conditions. As far as wear goes previous experience had suggested that the Miches should be the best but then Trev the Rev has found otherwise Again, I'm sure much of the wear issue is more around driving styles although personally I would stick to well known brands. As I have said before, Toyos would probably be my tyre of choice noting some of the informed opinion that has been expressed on this forum, and they look good but that is purely a cosmetic thing. At the end of the day we have these cars because they are great fun to drive and if that means burning some rubber that's what its all about

that is good

I was just reminding Lauben of the fun factor as Chesterfield had introduced the diesel/banger options that would save on costs but at the expense of enjoyment. And yes the ZED is a far more rounded car that the S2k

You know the answer then

What this thread is revealing is that there are some huge differences in driving styles with drifter Ian only getting 2k miles from his whereas plodding Dicky is getting a highly commendable 32k and both are on Bridgestones. From reading many previous threads on the subject the average (using stones) seems to be around 12-15k for the rears and 20-25k for the fronts........ unless someone reckons otherwise I share Sarnie's view that its not that Bridgestones are particuarly poor. Its more to do with the fact that putting on new boots, whatever the make, is bound make the car feel so much better. What would be interesting to hear is someone who had tyres other than stones fitted from new and then how they found the car behaved with a change to new stones

How many lorries you taking with you

I was thinking the same Have you felt my hands? Yep, very girly on my bunch

Lot of money compared to the GTi version which gets a better overall rating from a driver's viewpoint and is only marginally slower, if that's the way you have to go. The latest R32 does look a bit clumsy IMO compared to the previous model. Also have to say that the fact the 4w drive is not permanent, unlike the scoobs for example, always leaves a sense of 'will it, won't it' when when pushing on in the damp - thats what I found with an Audi A3 4w I had a while back before having 2 scoobys. You would save more money with the Seat 'GTi' version - both my sons have Seats and I have to say they do represent good value for money and are good drives.

What is a rear name? opps - corrected (and in original post)

Beavis: Previously we have been given sticky labels with our user and their names on to wear - which is rally helpful. Would it also be possible, or what do others think, to have one to stick on the inside of the windscreen with the username on? With so many cars this time that would help us to identify a particular car that we wanted to check out without going round peering at peoples chests so as to find the right car

Don't forget to include a (pointless ) woman over 30 as a second driver when seeking your quote, even if like mine shes at the thought - seems to help lower the premiums

Welcome and hope you decide to get a ZED What the others have said above is all good stuff but when you factor in the consideration the ZED wins hands down and if you start and end your day with those 's s that is likely to make the daily grind go a whole lot better than chugging along in a diesel or a banger. If the running costs are an issue for you then unfortunately the ZED certainly is not going to be your most econmical choice, and lets face it the way this country is going the politicans are clearly trying to price us off the roads. But remmber you only live once and if you enjoy your driving I can promise you (after 40+ years of it) that you will be hard put to find better drive, as I say in my sig.

Beavis - looks like you will be starting a reserve list very soon

+1

Shouldnt we have 'Qualifying' to determine the starting order No, that would be fair on Beavis, after do all the organizing and then having to run as tail-end charlie

You might like to contact cjd1979 see: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... highlight= who seems to have a similar gearbox issue that the dealer is sorting

Sounds like a great result for both parties and lets hope you and the car's new owner keep in touch on here

Just done the confused search - got £258 from AA with £600 excess - last year I paid £412 with Privilege and £425 excess so it might be time for a change. I'm just outside London with no garage and the udder 'alf, who's on the policy has speeding penalty points, bless. And before anyone comments about the age thing, we know how young drivers get weighted, well as I'm more towards the other end of the scale I reckon they start applying the age factor again. Won't be long before the two meet in the middle so that all you will get is a years benefit around 40 by not being too young and not being too old

Careful you'll be outdoing Jay and if he finds he can't get all his goodies from Phil when he gets there, cos you've had em all, oh deary, deary.....

err.... I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to injuries so not gory pics please

+1 All zeds need lowering a tad, especially the rear Ok then pushover

Another quality post Tim - a mine of information and very useful guides
