  1. Why oh, and welcome Can someone please explain this fetish with carbon to me; it's charcoal, it's coal, it's oil (part of), we're partly made of the stuff, it can be made to look shiny (and wow that looks really cheap ) and it can be woven (I cant even go there, why and to what possible purpose). Emperor's clothes to me or DFS I'd go so far as to say that carbon accoutrement is even more of a marketing over engineering triumph than the Ford Orion + 1, but I warn you that I got flamed the last time I expressed such opinions on here.
  2. Holly, from one of the s on this forum.
  3. Been looking at Halfords online - they seem to have mainly Ripspeeds @ £6.99 and Richbrook anti-theft ones @ £19.99). There's also one by Foliatec @ £14.99 (called the Aerial Futuro). Which one do you have?
  4. I have two lines on mine - J** on the top and BRU below.
  5. Congratulations - hope you enjoy it for many miles to come.
  6. Yes - Opie oils do a discount for members - good service and helpful advice too. Think you need to get a code from a moderator, though.
  7. Must check that out. Thanks.
  8. Someone not familiar with this site might worry about you after reading this, Nixy.
  9. But you're going to anyway - You can convert that figure by multiplying it by 4.5 (litres to gallons) then dividing by 5/8 (kilometres to miles). That means you are getting 23.9 miles per gallon! You bugger - does that mean I can't pretend I'm getting 30 anymore? Hope the wife doesn't see this post either!

    Alfa Romeo 8C

    Doesn't need to compete - already sold out IIRC. I'll get my coat, then. Still think it's too expensive, though.
  11. and enjoy the Z when you get it.
  12. Get a Lexus stubby. Its a better fit Is the Lexus stubby also black - or is it aluminium? - I'd quite like one of those. Any suggestions where to source one?
  13. , but not too keen on the grill.

    Alfa Romeo 8C

    Agree with Sarnie - looks but way over-priced if it's going to compete for sales.
  15. Hope you enjoy the search for an excellent car.
  16. Hope you enjoy whichever Z you decide on. Don't worry about going JDM - plenty of information on various threads here, as suggested above. Many of us are very happy with our JDMs and I am quite happy to have mine serviced at my local garage, whom I trust more than a Nissan dealership.
  17. I want to know what Air Traffic Control were playing at! They are paid to prevent this sort of carnage in the air!
  18. Season's greetings Don't drink too much.
