  1. Nice....welcome to the MY07 club
  2. Great clips You gotta love the "flat right....maybe???" in the Vatenen clip. Yeah, don't worry p*ssing with rain, foggy, 400 foot drop off - keep your foot in
  3. Nice watch, but this is getting on for Breitling / Panerai territory price wise and I know where my money would go, err, went Good luck with the price hunt though!
  4. I found that flattening a 2" long by 3/4" diameter piece of soft rubber tube and sticking it between the centre of the dash and the windscreen has worked wonders. Only problem now is that it makes the rattle from the circular door vents more noticeable
  5. No problems with oil consumption here on MY07 after 5000 miles. A couple of 1/2 litre top-ups in the first couple of thousand miles and then nothing. I wouldn't worry about the red line (7500 on the MY07 btw) as you are past max power and torque well before then anyway. Don't forget this isn't a low torque S2000 or other 2 litre fizz bomb but a real V6
  6. It'll go to a loser (Hamilton or Robinson) 'cos we Brits like a plucky loser. Toseland should win this if there's any justice after fighting tooth and nail on a bike that wasn't the best out there this year and winning by the narrowest of margins.
  7. That guy had massive b*lls just to jump anything on a bike I wouldn't ride to the shops
  8. Done! Agree with the above posting. M4 and Lyneham hardly make the area quiet and tranquil. Must be all those Dr Doolittle fans complaining (obscure 60's (?) film reference number 3845)
  9. Wot - even worse than Nissan's ???? Never
  10. Phew! no hits for either of my Zeds! Like others, I cannot believe that people actually take the time and effort to use these sites. I mean, it's not like a 350Z forum, err, is it? oh dear
  11. Unless of course a trailer is waiting 1/3rd mile down the road
  12. all you need to do now is start saving for the GT-R
  13. ...there but for the grace of God, etc, etc... Wish I'd kept my Fiat 127 derived Lada now. That 1300cc ohc engine would have made me king of the hill
  14. Bracknell is lovely Suggest you wander around the High St or Princes Square after dark and see what you think. Why do you imagine that Oracle, SeeBeyond, Met Office, etc, etc choose to move out??? Come back in 10 years if the refurb gets off the ground. Now you could look at Ascot, Sunninghill, Virginia Water, but then your 350k won't go far There is a never fail check for the quality of medium size English towns and it goes like this - check out the restaurants in the middle of town... * Premier League - several high quality chains like Est Est Est or maybe even a Conran-a-like gastro pub * 1st Division - Ask, Cafe Rouge, etc * 2nd Division - Pizza Express, Cafe Nero, etc * Ryman's Premier - Pizza Hut * Sunday Pub League - McDonalds ...guess what you'll find in Bracknell
  15. Used one of these for the first time this morning on the Z and the wife's Focus. Pretty good results considering the v.hard water around here. Need to wait for the weather to be less for a better test. Does anybody know if the Flash instructions are b***s*** about having to use their shampoo? I used 200ml on two cars and even then I used 2 buckets and NXT in the middle of the wash. Cars were minging though BTW a seller on eBay now has 4 x 10 wash filters for £10 delivered
  16. No, no, no!! The rules are, put it on shuffle and you must listen to what comes up. Can be pretty painful/embarassing/hilarious depending on the situation
  17. Without a doubt - Z is at least 150 KGs to heavy and you ain't gonna lose that with a manual seat and no carpets
  18. True, but the rattling from the poor fit and finish will drive you mad in the end! It's been said many times before and I know we don't want to pay Audi R8 prices, but the Nissan must the worst built car on the road. I've resorted to sticking bits of rubber between the windscreen and dash on my 2-1/2 month old Z33 in an attempt to cure it
  19. Small world - I used to work over the bridge in Hayward and stayed not far from there. You must hire something with a soft top, drive over to Half Moon Bay and then all the way down Route 1 to Monterey. Hang on, I'm getting all emotional
  20. Yeah, bet it would still be 10 microns thick though Not quite colour changing, but the hotel I stayed in recently in Singapore had electro-chromatic (?) coated glass that goes from clear to tinted to frosted at the touch of a switch. Now how about that on a car? Limo tint to clear at the touch of a switch. Just don't hit the frosted button on the windscreen
  21. Which part of this near 1000 mile road? From my experience this road goes from bling-central to rough as a badger's wossnames. With the dollar at 2.10 to the pound you need to get yourself to the local Nise-Saaan dealer for some cheap goodies.
  22. Set-up That is a dummy and why would anybody video a boring stretch of road anyway. Is that Jeremy Beadle in the background
  23. I hope he's got a garage or is friends with the local bodyshop
