  1. It looked awesome in yellow and it has GT4 wheels
  2. Why, if he wants to post it? Bigphils number is on his sig
  3. Many Thanks Sinbad your the first to notice. Since when? Gonna have to be more diplomatic nowadays
  4. I agree mate Just to clarify, I don't see it a business opportunity in the sense of money making just helping the site reach the masses, and get the 350z (and this site) really out there thats all. Keep up the good work
  5. The consensus from the motoring press is not that its been "made worse". Well from V10 to V8, 520 bhp to 414 bhp, 0-60 4.3 to 3.8, lower torque of 376 down to 276 lb-ft, top speed down from 198 to 181 mph, weight up from 1430 to 1560 kg. All suggest to me that they've taken a great car and made it worse, but still a great car in its own right i'm sure. Again, just like the Cayman when Porsche took out the LSD to keep cost/ performance down I know its not mean't to be a direct competitor and that its supposed to be cheaper but a client of mine has just bought one for over £90k which is Gallardo money. Performance stats don't tell the whole story, of course. The fact that it is being touted as better than the 911 suggests to me that they've taken a great car and made another great car in a different class. There's still £40k plus between them on list price (for a base Gallardo not the SE) and I'm sure that there are plenty of ways to add to Gallardo's price with extras. I agree totally mate, and I do think its a fantastic car, I just find it strange that a manufacturer can produce two cars that are so similar.

  7. Ditto....where did you get the tires from and what are they??!! I got my 19 inch Pirelli's for less than £500 Are you suffering from insomnia, Sarnie? Still in Ibiza mode ie not getting to bed till 0730
  8. This is the first season that it actually slightly interesting!

  10. I think anything over £14500 will be a struggle
  11. Link doesn't work, i assume its this one: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/209219.htm
  12. Saw the film today and it is by far the best film i've ever seen!!!! (I'm a clost transformers fan)
  13. So why book time off when you have nothing to do?
  14. Is that weekend still available? I want to take Mrs Sarnie away at the end of aug/sept
  15. But when he said bad ass he was talking about the Gallardo Superleggara I may however go test drive one just to see what its like
  16. A forum is nothing without members. Whether those member post dross or factual nuggets its still nothing with out either of them. This site has dreamers who'll never own a zed, would-be purchasers, owners and past owners. In my opinion all groups make up the demographic of the forum. Also most importantly its how each group interacts with the other E.G if owners flame would be purchasers it will no doubt discourage them from buying a zed but also this site! For me this site started as an owners site but it could easily develop into a owners/social site. Does the fact that you no longer own a zed mean that you can't revisit this site? I understand this is a 350z orientated site but it could be sooooo much more as well. I can't think of many past owners that still frequent this site which is not a good thing. I understand that off topic stuff is not particularly wanted but there is massive potential for this site based on its current format. How about expanding the other car forums? How about encouraging other traders from other marques? How about charging membership fee's for owners of other cars plus theyre associated traders? They could offer discounts that were only available here maybe? Would you buy tyres from www.bmwlover.co.uk if it was cheaper than anywhere else? I would! What happens when they stop making the zed or the mods sell up? Looking at this site from a business view point the more people on it the more revenue and the enormous potential it has would be a shame to waste! I'm sure none of these will be implemented but they may give food for thought.
  17. Even the MY06 still got the tape even when MP3's were thriving
  18. This Facebook lark is very strange, really can't get used to it
  19. Sarnie
