  1. Me too, and maybe for road cars too as I'm not convinced the battery laden vehicles on our roads are not a 'green' way forward as manufacturers would like us to believe, particularly given the processes needed to produce those batteries.
  2. Some stunning cars and, er, 'accessories' on display but this one deserves the prize of "in the worst possible taste...."
  3. Excellent news, and given what Andy already does to help members enjoy their Zeds and the forum

    Help!!

    Here he is - a Member Trader on here who been with the forum since its earliest days and has helped to keep thousands of members cars running and is a major source of parts for the Zeds. https://www.350z-uk.com/profile/9648-zmanalex/ I can understand your query being a new member and it's a shame there is not a 'sticky' in the member traders area to help identify these members who do an invaluable job.
  5. Not with internal combustion engines (that we enjoy) for much longer I fear, as the article in the link sadly predicts. But then F1 in particular has lost a lot of interest by the casual followers anyway - the absence of interest on this forum being an example and quite understandable in the way the F1 has been run/regulated in recent times. Inevitable really given the climate change evidence as manufacturers increasingly move to non-fossil fueled, in part or in whole, transport. https://thejudge13.com/2019/12/03/honda-pull-out-of-f1-red-bull-quits-manufacturers-question-participation/ Enjoy your ZEDS while you can as generations to come will not be able to do so....
  6. Certainly missed - a sad loss for the forum who did so much. RIP Mart.
  7. Probably before they discovered tinternet and the competition!
  8. I'm going to give NFU a go at renewal time - heard good reports, but no idea what they may charge. https://www.nfumutual.co.uk/insurance/motor-insurance/car-insurance/
  9. Yes, this has often been the cure....sometimes needing the fluid to be up the top before overflowing. Alex, if the pads are well worn and hence the caliper pistons are being pushed further against the pads, is that enough to trigger the warning the OP has?
  10. Not an area I know well, you maybe best off starting a new thread asking members who they would recommend near to you.
  11. You have not added your location and given you are at your wits end after all your efforts, I would suggest you get yourself along to one of Zed specialists to help you out? In this link are the contact details of those who have signed up on the forum (that is how our free platform to members is mainly funded) You can also search for their appreciation threads for your own peace of mind. https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/93-professional-traders/
  12. Seems he is licensed to drive on the highway as you can see in this in this vid. Not sure what the boys in blue would make of that if ventured this side of the Channel Bit more about him if interested:

    Ferrari Roma....

    Seems so - hence the rather untypical Ferrari colour choice. Only very little people for the rear - just hope they can see enough of the cockpit that is the best bit about car IMHO.
  14. Does that allow you to sell excess energy back to the 'National Grid?
  15. Welcome to the club, but sorry to hear what happened to your wife and car. In addition to Zmanalex check out the 350z parts for sale section on the forum https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/213-350z-parts-for-sale/ and maybe post what you need here: https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/31-wanted/
  16. He has obviously done very well out of what he does, even if some petrolhead purists do not like him. Each to their own, as they say.
  17. Many congratulations - as for the karting just make sure she does not mix her tyres.......
  18. Given you never felt the same love for the 370 as you have done for the 350 - that's fine, but the fact that Nissan released the 370 at the end of 2009 when the financial melt-down was really biting and all car sales were taking a big hit, as many forget, was undoubtedly the primary reason for 370 sales getting nowhere near 350 sales. Indeed, many 350 owners at the time did not enthuse about the 370 anyway (personally I found it a significant improvement over the 350 in everyday use compared to the 350), but as the years have passed by I have seen many doubters 'upgrade' to a 370, maybe to get a newer ZED or because it ticked more boxes than anything else the competition have/had to offer. And having since owned a 4pot turbo auto/AWD (Merc A45) - yes the performance/grip off the shelf was mind-boggling, but it was simply too easy to drive hence why I have moved onto a Cayman that is far more driver involved.....albeit with a 4pot turbo. Yeah, not what a true Porsche enthusiast would opt for maybe, but a combination of the chrono/sports exhaust certainly gives me the grin factor and turns heads when the rev needle spins round the clock... Be interesting to see if Nissan finally decides to produce a Z35 and hopefully in a format that maybe excites my juices enough to raid the piggy (pension) bank....... again
