I think we need a bot on the forum for automatic answers. "Which car is best?" - go drive them all and make your own mind up

Cats didnt have to be present until recently, but you did have to pass the emissions test, which technically I'm sure is impossible with a 350z unless it has cats fitted. Unless you have a friendly MOT tester, I'd bit the bullet and get HFCs to save faffing around for no gain. The extra cost will soon repay itself when you dont have to swap out the cats each year.

You calling us chavs? Goldies arent exempt from bans you know I'd go drive an S2K and BMW and see which you prefer. The Zed has very linear torque which feels very odd and can be very deceptive of how fast you are really going. It only really gets exciting in the twisties. If you want that straight line excitement, you need something with a turbo, not a whopping great NA engine. I'd say the S2K is likely to be more exciting, but not as good as a day to day car, from my experience of them anyway. BMW will handle like cack if its on runflats so make sure you try one without them. At the end of the day all 3 are good at different things so it depends what you want really.

The best we can do without getting massively involved (which we arent going to) is try to prove that the seller is a real person and has the real item. Thats why we have the post limit and photo rules. If you want total security, stick it on ebay for them to buy, or do a Paypal invoice as Chris suggests above. Both will incurr fees though. Better to just have a bit of trust Also moved to forum help so we dont have to approve the posts

Aye, nicer wheels than say Rotas, but not as uber expensive as Volks. Nice and respectable. Before anyone starts, I used to have Rotas

Good job I'm skint Think you'd do well selling Enkei wheels if people have the dosh for them, their nice stuff. I think a lot of Evos have them as standard.

My radio preferences depend on what I'm doing usually. If its a cruise to some shopping outlet or other with the +1 then R1 is on as a bit of background noise. If I'm out on my own, its generally Stillen 5.1 surround sound with no music

My Dad and I painted the floor of their current house when we moved in in August 99. It still hasn't peeled and looks perfect. It has the snow blower on it, BBQ and loads of other stuff on one side which put crap all over it. The other side has always had the toys (Stag and SL) stored and as the toy is used it's been run over loads. When it comes to painting anything, if the perpetration work is done properly it should last. Yup, he probably had it done properly. Nowt wrong with painting it, you just need to do it when its reasonable warm and be prepared to prep properly and leave it to cure properly. Not always an option if you need to use the garage all the time.

Based on what I've done with our garage, a few pointers (lessons learnt mainly) Painting wall - seal the walls with some cheap white masonary paint thinned down, this stops it seaping in and taking multiple coats. Also you can get a good 15/20litre pots from Wickes usually discounted. I got through about 50l doing my walls as they are breeze blocks Makes a massive difference for detailing in that it brightens the place no end but also custs dust down. Dont try and use a cheap spray gun to paint it as you have to thin it so much to get it to work you then get no coverage. Flooring - I went for race deck type stuff. I've seen loads of painted floors and they all peel eventually unless you can acid etch the floor first and leave it for about a week afterwards. Epoxy is the best but again needs to be acid etched and left for about a week to cure. Its indestructable when done and pretty cheap. Race deck is awesome as its so quick to fit, but it is a bit pricey. I'd fit about 3 stip lights per car bay (3 for a single, 6 for a double). Nothing worse than fitting a single light in the middle then deciding you dont have enough light at each end. Thats why I ended up fitting 2 extras in my garage and its great for a spot of polishing when the nights are dark. Make sure you have a good seal around the bottom of the garage door. Wickes do weather seals which work well. Once you have a proper floor and painted walls you'll be amazed at the crap that blows under the garage door without some better sealing.
