No, he said he wanted a GM

Ah, just the man You have PM

Hi mate, You should have no probs with your stuff. I carry a briefcase around in my boot all the time. I've had suitcases and all sorts in there

Easier and less stressful to sell a car than a house

Not quite as simple as that though. We have a massive mortgage with massive payments. Also my salary is not £55k. Thats roughly what I earnt last year but bonus' can vary wildly. Just trying to gauge third party opinions as me and the missus keep having divided opinions. Strangely she wants me to do it and I'm the one who is slightly hesitant. I think she has visions of becoming a socialite who 'does lunch'

NO not the orange The new yellow Mark posted up a pic on the OC of a Nismo'd yellow zed

Right, sorry That bonnet is really growing on me though Have you seen the new yellow thats available in the US?

Well done that man

Stunning

Sorry, what are there impressions? Did I miss that bit?

Unfortunately not. The FSA state that you can only be registered to one company at a time to prevent a conflict of interests. Ah that changes things. Well there are some things to consider: if the business doesn't go as planned is it easy for you to find a job again? If it is no issue then I would also say to go for it. Otherwise you might regret never having tried in the first place Maybe do something completely different (and less rewarding) on the side to generate a bit of an income (some no-brainer job, part-time (or less) just to get you some cash for that time, heck, working at McDonalds or god-knows-what just to get some money) So if i understand correctly you dont need the Z money to invest in your company but to survive those months. In that case the risk is different imho. Altogether I would give it a shot, and just try to find a way to bridge the period without too much financial hassle (I know its none of my business, but maybe Mrs Sarnie can help out a bit? Surely she'll benefit of it too in the long run if all goes well) Yes you are correct. I don't need to money to invest I need it to cover my lack of salary for potentialy around 6 months Mrs Sarnie has a good job but there is just no way we could survive on her income. I was just wondering whether people would get a loan to cover the period or sell the zed and use that money?

Having driven the MY03 zed and the gt4 (extra 20 bhp) the difference is very very minimal. Has the torque curve been tweaked?

The ones that you are looking at are all ready out of date technically speaking. The original zeds had 280 bhp, then the gt4 came with a new HR engine but the same interior and had 300 bhp and then early last year they released the facelift model with the GT4 engine and some tweaks to the interior and exterior. This new model will be the 4th incarnation of the 350z

To be honest this would not disrupt my life at all really apart from financially. I would be working from home and my hours would be a lot less if anything. The point is that potentially I could earn a lot more for what I'm doing than I am at the moment. The biggest decision for me is parting with my zed I'm considering borrowing the money over the longest possible period with the view of (hopefully) being able to clear it by the end of the year and if it doesn't work then sell my zed and pay the loan off at that point. Hmmmmm

Unfortunately not. The FSA state that you can only be registered to one company at a time to prevent a conflict of interests.

Ok cheers guys. I think I'm a bit too fond of my zed Basically I work for a company in an employed capacity. As a salaried consultant i get a healthy salary and bonus scheme and all the benefits that go with it blah blah blah. To shed a bit more light on the matter I wrote £345k's worth of biz last year and I earnt about 16% of that figure. An opportunity has come up to start up my own brokerage. Even scaling down the figures it entirely feasible to write about £170k's worth of biz with minimal overheads meaning a net split of about 90% All sounds good but.......upon leaving my job I would be without an income for about 6-9 months maybe slightly longer. And there is the problem. I could get a loan but don't really want to take on further borrowing the the added expenditure leaving the zed as the only disposeable asset. The money in the zed could cover my salary for that period

Ok here goes..... WOULD YOU SELL YOU ZED TO PURSUE A CAREER OPPORTUNITY TO EARN 4 TIME WHAT YOU WERE EARNING NOW IN 9 MONTHS TIME? Discuss

Might as well be. One rule for one, one for another

Good effort mate but the colour combo, as i thought, looks disgusting Come on, be original i think it works, would look a lot better in the flesh and they do a navy blue aswell Be original!?!?!? MY CAR IS BLOODY YELLOW I'm up for anything but they look turd if you ask me Check the black. Plus yellow is not original these days, look at all the SEATs, MG ZRs, fiats, the list goes on I mean't within the zed community If yellow is no longer original then grey must be prehistoric

Not really, they have been looking for an excuse for a while You been burning up too much of their hard disk space? Seriously though seems a bad state of affairs Your right mate. All i wanted was evidence of what they were saying i was guilty of, but no they declined. I could of defended my corner upon presentation of what they were accusing me of

Good effort mate but the colour combo, as i thought, looks disgusting

Me too mate but a bit of effort buys me hours unhindered time on here/ under the bonnet/ driving my zed

The words hunt and witch spring to mind

Whats wrong with this one?
