  1. +1 I am amazed you are still happy to do shows with them too. If it were me, I'd get the car and bugger off, they wouldnt see me anywhere near their stand.
  2. You miss the point, no one down South can appear to drive in the snow, even in their big 4x4. In which case, someone with some nonse can drive better than the muppets out here. You are comparing how you would do in a micra vs Zed, thats not the debate, its numpties in micra vs us in Zed - geddit?
  3. I would have been a normal member if they had made me a mod Now its my lifes work to right this heinous wrong and keep all mods sweating We like your commitment to the site, its just you we dont like You are the forum vigilante - putting right the wrong we can't without being politically incorrect
  4. Especially when it comes to keeping momentum, some people just dont know how to slowly crawl along so you dont stop. That was the number 1 factor with the nightmare drive just before xmas. People were trying to move 1m at a time when they could as fast as they could rather than just keep going slow and steady, which meant everyone was stopping and then getting stuck
  5. Glad someone else finds its not the worst car in the world, well not when its paired with a reasonable driver
  6. They seem to be a good idea, I might get some! Has he contacted them? They seem to go right up to 275/40 R20 now, and use the same model code for wider wheels right down to 15". They seem to be fairly generic, mostly based on how wide the wheel is. IIRC the 370z GT wheel is a 275/X R19? Might just be able to get some to fit. I certainly hope so if its going to snow again next year EDIT: Husky, try emailing them, they seem to do a "high performance size" but its out of stock, goes up to wide 20" wheels now
  7. Have a word with Adam@Z1, maybe he can point you in the right direction I think he mostly uses USPS, which would mean sending it via RM from this side of the pond.
  8. That was my logic too, as soon as I go out and get some, we will be in a heat wave
  9. Its pretty bad, but could be worse. I imagine the 370z and 350z are as bad as each other, if anything the 370z may be worse as I beleive it has a shorter wheel base which means its more likely to spin! I think the boing boing noise is something to do with ABS. I have heard it on airfield days when stopping quickly with TC off.
  10. My car would barely move so sent the missus out on a recon mission. She tried to get to work, got about 500yrs in an hour and came home. Now both working from home - again
  11. Depends if you want real carbon or the fake Nissan stuff and if Nissan, who is selling it! I sold my Nissan one for £25 when I got my Varis, but new they are something crazy like £300 (I got it for £50 and wasnt wanting to make a profit!). Real carbon ones are around the £100 mark IIRC. Used to be cheaper like everything
  12. Haha, yeah. Except unlike Julia Bradbury, we would'nt make every wee fell sound like it was like climbing Everest! Too right I can't stand her and she needs to seriously eat some pies!!! I keep forgetting lakes are only 1 hours drive for us , must try to get up there this year ? If only we knew someone that lived there so we could pop in for a cuppa? We're about 4hrs away and Amanda still wants to go. Have to arrange a club outing up there sometime with some serious walking too
  13. Nope, 350z paint definately doesnt do that, they are soft as shite and dont fix themelves!
  14. Start Button & L Thats the combo you need Nix if you have a password set. Locks the PC so the little scroat cant get in
  15. Another brilliant walk Andy and Fran They need to get you on BBC HD doing Wainwright's walks in the snow

  17. Think I'll go see this for comedy value. I love the Karate Kid series, although they did lose the plot after a couple!
  18. The clear coat on the paint is somewhat plyable. If you put a slight scratch in just the clearcoat (like swirls), then it will smooth itself over time. I've heard it works much better in warmer climates, which is backed up by Infiniti telling me they use heat guns to help along the process on customer cars. The only downside I have heard is that it can look quite orange peely.
  19. Yup, at least with white and self healing paint, he wont have swirls to contend with
  20. my alloy wheel begs to differ, a fwd car would have been able to pull is nose in line and i wouldnt have hit that kerb Make sure you dont ever get an Alfa Spyder then, it was worse than my Zed last year when we had snow and my car was in the garage for a bit and that way the hire car
  21. Sounds like the battery is completely gone, might be able to save it if you charge it immediately, but I would assume the worst
  22. He's still posting, so unless he has mobile internet in the BB house, they are seperate people
  23. I wondered how long it would take for someone to spot that
