They arent comparible in the slightest IMO, completely different price brackets. I couldnt justify the money for a new Cayman S, so decided on the 370z as a much better comprimise, especially at the price. What price bracket are you actually looking at? For me, it'd be a new Cayman S out of that lot if money wasnt an issue but I'd rather have a nearly new 911 I think.

Such a shame. I can see that costing a good deal to repair, making it so close to the price of a second hand one, that I just wouldnt touch it. Getting all the bits will probably be hard enough.

Have you tried deleting you cookies and other temp internet files? Sometimes things just get corrupt and go wrong, clearing them down can solve it

How random, I did an out and back across Snake Pass yesterday morning while up there visiting some friends. Was a bit of an early run, was ruddy foggy too! Nice bit of road though

That was me We're up here for a friends wedding and the missus wanted to do some shopping. Was good to have at least one side in safe hands in the car park. As we got there after you and left before you were back thought we'd leave a spotted card and see if it was anyone on here You now have a collectors edition spotted card from my collection of old first run cards

I had mini meet earlier, parked next to an Azure 350z at Meadowhall Roll on the new season though

Doubt snow chains will do much on ice tbh. Best bet is to get out there with a shovel and grit and break it up enough to get where you need to. Let your tyres down quite a bit so that you have a larger contact patch (obviously keep enough in that the rims wont hit the floor!)

Trackday and/or driver training (a lot of trackdays have instructor sessions available). Andy Walsh at CarLimits is one of the best around, hes a really good laugh and knows a thing or two about driving.

Agreed, GTR driver was driving like a c*ck. Fezza driver was obviously inexperienced as he was braking mid corner and not taking the right lines. Not a fair fight really. I'd still take the Fezza too if I had the money

Had a feeling that one was coming

Yup, we're at Moreton again

I'll make it short and simple. Engine wise there is near to sod all in it. IMO the best engine if you want to keep it all OEM is the 309HP (aka the 313). This is the best engine to date, and best interior. The next best is the 276HP which has a better torque curve than the 296HP which is basically a 276HP with more agressive cams (theres more to it than that but imagine that is the case). The 276HP has more torque low down than the 296HP so its a bit of a nicer drive, but again not a lot in it. If you want a car to keep OEM, get a 309HP, if you want a car to mod, get the 276HP, build the engine and TT it

So really they didnt reveal anything

I only have 123 friends, boo hoo! Most of them are from Uni so I can keep in contact as a lot of them travel and havent settled down yet. About 20 are those kind of cool kids from school/college that turn out to be loosers which makes me feel better when I see their profile

We have our biggest meet/drive of the year in North Wales - look out for the details and get your name down

Or you can think of HDMI as the same as USB. Would you buy a different USB cable to get better transfers? How the hell do you get beter transfers from USB you ask? Well you dont, it either works or it doesnt. You may find a cheap one doesnt perform as it should over say 5m which a slightly more expensive one will, but you cant get one transfer "better" than the other, it either works or it doesnt. Over short distances these things make little difference, its only when the signal has change to attenuate that you need better quality wires and connectors

If you get a picture that is not breaking up, there is no way from what I know of the HDMI standard, that it could give 2 different pictures. Its all encoded in digital, 1's and 0's. Theres no way that it can get a 0.5 Better cables will allow the signal to travel further before it breaks up and will support higher resolutions for longer distance, but it wont improve the actual picture itself if 2 given cables are managing to get a good signal from one place to another. I've tried £3 cables and £30 cables, no difference what so ever.

Sod that, get out and drive it - snows gone now! WEEEEEEE

Better get over there and drive it now before it closes

As HDMI is digital, you will either get a perfect picture or it will break up. Its not like old analogue where you can get fuzzy pictures. So with HDMI, dont read into all this guff about buying expensive cables. Get ones that are good enough to cover the distance you need and be done with it. Only when running like 10m do you need something better than adequate.

I'm (un)fortunate that I dont see with stereo vision, so its completely wasted on me. I do hope its a fad otherwise I cant go to the cinema any more depending on the system they use How does that work mate? Does it affect depth perception and things like that? It does in the sense that my brain cant use convergence to percieve depth, but there are other ways to percieve it - such as what is in focus when looking at something, and also perspective (how big/small something is compared to its surroundings). So the brain does compensate for it, but I'm not as accurate with depth as someone with stereo vision - fast moving objects coming straight at me can be kinda hard to catch. But it does mean that I dont merge the 2 images from my eyes into one, and as such cant do magic eye pictures or watch 3D films "properly" Depending on the tech used, I can watch it, just they look a bit like I'm watching a film with sunglasses on. Its better than the old green/red filter glasses as they meant all I could see was green and red with lines all over the shop New ones mean I can watch just its not 3D, but can give me a headache due to the picture switching as I only see half of the images at a time so can be flickery if their refresh rate isnt high enough.

You currently have the lowest number black, so you could well be right. Normally the first few of a run are Press and demo cars which they usually scrap, but I would hope that someone actually keeps all of these limited run ones (I think they will, that usually only applies to the first of a new car made - ie 370z - and not limited models). I would imagine the lower ones have gone to a few select special people. Dealerships will also have the lowest numbers after that as their demo cars, which I assume is where yours has come from?

Bah, you win

No they had a proper Nismo one - not your wannabe Nismo kitted Zed j/k of course I saw it too hiding in the background

+1 - they will have all you need for sure
