Still available all if anyone wants to make sensible offers Cheers!

Yes it does Stew. Wonder why! But on serious note, if we can try to keep this post spam/abuse free so that anyone interested doesn't actually have to trawl through any crap and I don't miss any questions it would be appreciated... By all means, start a new post abusing me

Not sure we can trust this character but somehow his name is in Gold. GLWS matey, I'd have been half tempted if I wasnt in the Alps riding that weekend or rather coming back from Alps! Thanks Chris....

Cheers fella, yeah they are great tickets! Unfortunately now just can't go.... Let me know if you know anyone that may want them etc? Thanks...

Hi all, Been a while since been on here so hello to all From my colourful past on here, I thought someone on here would love first opportunity on these before I end up having to stick them on Ebay or something.... I am (very reluctantly) selling 2 x 3 day tickets for the British Grand Prix 2012 6th - 8th July 2012 in the Club Silverstone section of Becketts Grandstand in Row B and included in the package are: So these are TWO fantastic tickets for the British GP as part of the Club Silverstone package, which is packaged by Silverstone as higher quality viewing than the Platinum grandstands, but not full hospitality....so basically between the two. The tickets are for all three days in the Club Silverstone part of the Becketts complex grandstand (with premier views) with reserved seating for ALL three days AND you have the option for roaming viewing in the other grandstands around the circuit on top for the Friday & Saturday. The seats are next to each other in the second row from the front ( and therefore you've got a fantastic view as you're right in the front right hand side of the grandstand as the cars come towards you. Therefore you get fantastic views as the cars come flat out down from Copse on your right, through Becketts, down Hanger Straight and also you get great views across to the new complex of Village, the Loop, around Aintree Corner and disappear down Wellington Straight. Additionally you have a big screen right in front of you! As these seats are part of the Club Silverstone package, so you also get private secured access to your own bars, food marquee and stalls right behind the grandstand, so no massive queues for anything including lovely clean toilets!!. The bar complex has it's own large screens too within a garden area with tables and chairs so you can watch all the support races from the bar if you wish. This also includes close proximity designated parking for all days and a complimentary pair of caps and programmes. These tickets are currently all sold out (as is nearly all the GP), so this is a good chance to grab a couple of fantastic seats.... I was there last year in the same area although these tickets are even better locations than the ones I had last due to me buying them as soon as they went on sale! The price is the cost prices of £425 PER ticket. THIS IS THE TICKET PRICE AS YOU CAN SEE FROM PHOTOS.... I'm not interested in making money on Ebay etc, just recovering what I've spent as I really wanted to go, but due to a change in personal circumstances I cannot. Please don't waste either of our time by making silly offers I will send out via recorded delivery for next day, on receipt of the money free of charge to the buyer. Please not I will not separate them as they will come as a pair.... Message me if you are interested. I also have camping booked at Whittlebury Park Golf Club (right behind Becketts so 5-10 mins walk) if you want to take advantage of that for an additional cost on top, anytime from Tues through to Monday as my original plan was to stay around for the after GP Party, so I booked to take account. But you can use the days you would want if we agree you want the camping... Let me know if you interested before I put them on for general sale via PM on here and then if people are interested enough, then happy to discuss. Happy to advise further if needed... I will have to put them on Ebay soon due to the shortage of days between the GP, but will happily give anyone here priority as long they are serious. They will be going on Ebay with same price starting point.... Happy to discuss further.... PS. For those that do not know me due to not being on the site for a while. I used to help moderate this site in the early days, along with Chris (Chesterfield) and Mike (M13KYF) so if I'm sure those two will vouch for my honesty.... Cheers for reading, and hoping someone wants to pickup two fantastic packaged tickets! Jacko Pictures of tickets:

or give me a shout as I've got these still for sale. Wasn't really pushing them as was deciding if I was going to get a 370z (and try to fit em on) but prob decided against that... So these Racing Harts are still for sale, with near enough new tyres on too (Falkens). See if you like and pm me if you want to see. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=15955

Yeah I thought similar lines to Mike when I drove it on sunday... Felt a lot more stronger and stiffer structurally than the 350z Loads of grip, even in the mini monsoon that hit the test drive. Didn't feel that much quicker, but that said it was very tight as brand new Has the same zed feel where you're actually going quicker than you think Much more civilised driving than the 350z, not as "raw" When you're driving it you feel very close to the front end, and it actually feels quite narrow to drive. When looking in review mirror, seemd like the the rear end was miles away! Thought the new seats and finish of them worked. Actually was pretty impressed overall to drive it....

Can I just say, that although I've not been around so much.... .that the person in question isn't me ha ha ! (just in case anyone thinks I've been a bad boy in the past!)

Even though I wasn't officially on the drive out, was great to see a lot of the old gang from previous runs again and meet some new faces! Had a cracking day being advanced recon driver for you all and getting on some of those roads again. Was slightly jealous to see all those Zeds again, especially when me and Digsy were coming into Bala in advance of you all, and I saw my old car (Jotuns) coming around the corner! Was slightly surreal Anyway great day and good to see you all again (in person!) Steve, sorry to hear about the accident but glad you and your son are ok. Hope everything goes smoothly around the insurance mate

You beat me to it! I was just about to say.... I know Nixy's driving is bad, but sending someone to hospital is just plain outrageous!! Hope you feel better soon mate

Ha hah .... fair point! What like, I dont like Mike! Anyway gave you a present, what's up with ya

Yeah made me chuckle a lot when I came back and saw that I'd been "carded".....

You tried here: http://www.wiperblades.co.uk/ They do the flat ones for the 350z!

Yeah I've always gone there..... You must have been unlucky with the wash. If you speak to Dave the service manager then normally they no the score as had me bending their ears and telling "them" stuff about the cars every time I was there! Best of the dealerships I always found. You can get them down to their lowest price with playing them off with Chorley Nissan's prices too! They've only just decided not to renew the franchise a few months back as I got a letter about it.....

Yeah that was only cos so dirty ginge git went in lunging on my ankle.... Didn't drink like a cripple though thanks!

I hope you mean watching at your age Cheeky git! Still playing strong and showing these whippersnappers a clean pair of heels ha ha ..... it's mental strength that they all don't have! Hmmmm bloody kids!! Have fun....

Would love to meet up for a chat, but I can't do the saturday so will have to be another time chaps.... Sorry, got footie on a saturday afternoon!

He didn't..... he's in the last picture Mike posted trying to get out of the way One last thing to say, is that some of the things that Digsy picked up on (such as the cubbies behind the seats) may well change as this was a P1... but I had similar concerns about from the seats backwards. There certainly wasn't a massive change in plastics etc... and the boot is definitely shallower than a 350z

Lovely car dave.... I nearly thought about buying an S5 when I was looking at changing... but just couldn't jusitfy the fuel costs with the miles I was doing.... But I do love the looks for such a big car...... really nice mate. But there's a lot of black paint to keep on top of Hope your detailing skills are up to scratch still!

Good vid about it here..... http://www.drivers-republic.com/dr_tv/index.cfm?videoid=745adbffd4754e6cacb5b091ee36f7d9&area=videos Also, worth listening from just after 7.30 mins in where the European Marketing manager puts the warranty queries into black and white! I know there was a lot of talk about it, so here's the clarity....

I was quizzing Middlehursts on this, but to be fair they've asked the question a 1000 times and not had a commited response..... but they have an inklin. Best guesses at this time.....are: Red that's the same as the 350z (and GTR) so flat not metallic. Silver similar to blade on 350z (like this and I don't think it suited the car, as some have said made it look a bit large in places) Pearlescent White Black The new blue (which looks different everytime you see a new photo) A similar colour (can't remember what it's called) to Gunmetal but has a bit of a goldey tint to it. And a very similar colour which is like Gunmetal but lighter... Agree it looks good in darker colours though..... although the pics I have seen of the white look nice. They had a colour card of the white there and that's nice....

Guys, Not sure if this is a repost (and haven't got time to check at the mo).... but its a good article. From Drivers-republic. Any of you Evo subscribers may recognise the author (Jethro Bov...). This is his and Meaden's new venture.... Anyway, link to the 370z article: http://magazines.drivers-republic.com/driversrepublic/purezed037/?fm=2

Cheers Sarnie....
