  1. Did you read the advert? Plus its the worst 370 colour IMO..... And it's a repost, there are two threads on this car already
  2. Neither of those are good looking cars imo. To be fair theres not much point debating aesthetics as it's entirely subjective.
  3. That suprises me, when I drove my mates one I thought it felt quite a lot quicker than the Zed, nothing like as good round the bends though. Power and weight are broadly similar, but peak torque at 1400rpm, 1/4 mile at 0.2 seconds faster and turbo tuneability says to me yer man wasnt wringing its neck by any means. You WHAT??!! As 4 door coupes go, its pretty bloody good ........... the coupes are achingly beautiful with a nice set of wheels too The black one looks decent for a BMW the other two look like chav chariots to me. Don't get me wrong I like BMW's but I can't think of one that grabs you purely on it's looks. I also don't get why people modify a 3 series? Most people buy one as it has four seats, four doors, a big boot and is great car to cart the family around in. But why they spend thousands of pounds trying to make it a car it's not? Gangzoom has already spent £22k which could have bought: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3688883.htm

    £45k is proper poverty spec. The config link was posted up a few weeks ago and once you add half of the decent stuff it's easy to breach £60k....... I love it though and I've hated everyother Boxster before it.

  6. I know a great place not to far from you, you can come try it out in about 8 weeks None of this £100+/head crap either, good food and venue at a reasonable price. Helps having an event organiser as a fiancee (and shes only 10% over budget, and within contigency!) You didn't seriously think that the contingency wouldn't get used did you????
  7. Great write up, I was feeling your enthusiasm and finding myself potentially talking myself into one........................and then came the pictures and felt that someone had burst my balloon. It's not an ugly car, but it just leaves me cold I'm afraid.
  8. This is what we did. We originally had planned the whole white wedding thing and had booked a stately home/hotel that had a church on site. It would have been amazing. However, once the invoices started to roll in the total price was getting stupid. I got an invoice from the venue for £31k, that covered hire of the venue (church & marquee), wedding breakfast and evening buffet, evening disco, champagne reception and rooms at the hotel. We had 200+ guests and once you start looking at food it's easy to get to £100 a head and at almost every wedding there are people moaning about the food, and if I'd have heard this I would have chopped their heads off That was also without anything such as rings, her dress, flowers for the venue, car hire, suit hire, photographer or honeymoon! It would have easily spiralled over £50k!!! Then I had a falling out with some close family members who threatened to boycott my wedding. It suddenly dawned on me that I was going to spend over £50k to feed and room other people. It also concerned me that if anyone ruined my day (like not turning up, getting drunk, causing a scene etc) that I would have spent £50k to have it ruined by someone! So we binned off all those plans, and instead of having 200+ guests, me and Laura, booked flights to Vegas for just me & her and spent about £6k on getting married there, staying in a suite at the MGM, helicopter rides over the strip and generally had an amazing time as we focused on what it was actually all about, me & Laura, and not feeding a load of people that we probably hadn't seen for years. We then booked a marquee at a nice hotel in the UK the week after and spent about £10k on that and had a great time as there was no pressure etc. Looking back I would be really annoyed with myself if I had spent £50k+ on a single day. I know we could have done it cheaper but it was either all or nothing for us and I'm glad we did it the way we did it now as we have only positive memories
  9. Anything new to report mate ? People just keep throwing cheap Zeds at me - its not my fault is it???? Let me know when you run out of money
  10. I got married in Vegas, is 115 degrees hot enough for you
  11. It does say thats its a CAT C in the listing..........................
  12. Looks like someone was hoping to slip under the forum radar
  13. I did read it all in one sitting, but I must admit that I was jumping three pages at a time Great work though mate
  14. You can always count on Sarnie Its true though. Tax, tyres and petrol haven't really changed in price recently. Nor has the size of the 370's petrol tank or engine.
  15. Sounds like someone didn't do enough research really............
  16. Have you converted your house into a MacDonal's drive thru?
  17. You've answered your own question there. Well not really, because there are a lot of rims out there that look better imo. That's why it makes the fact that so many people have gone for ROTAs so strange. Yes really. You said 'it's strange that so many people buy Rota's' and followed it up with 'they do suit the car though'. Which is why so many people have bought them.
  18. You've answered your own question there.
