Wow - you must be one of the 0.001% that have ITV HD lol I'm finding AXE men more entertaining than England at the moment. Lost all interesting in the national team recently, specially when its these silly games with half a team. Almost may as well be a B team match

So how much did the new Evo cost and how many miles it got on the clock?

Is that the blue one with the chrome wheels? I've seen it in ASDA a couple times. Also seen a couple other Silver coupes. A Silver Nismo coupe used to live round the corner of my old house. Still think he has it as I see it around the area on the way to way every so often

There is a pic showing the boot open and some form of cover attached to it so maybe it is a cover. It looks like there are iPod connectors in the arm-rest in the middle. Not massivly impressed by the dash/console - the design of the middle console looks very bland and boring. A 5 year old could have designed that head unit part. Really don't like the way they have styled the digital gauge. Why have a garish silver surround on it. A nice shiny black surround and it would blend in much better.

Just seen the pics of the 370z I have been waiting for. Been wondering about the rear strut and what they are going to be going with it. Looks like they have moved it back a bit BUT it looks like there are two versions - one with a single strut and one with two! One Strut Two Struts Lots of other new pics from a open day at a US dealer http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-nissan-370z-early-reveal/1160856/

Pretty sure its legal - thats the problem with auctions - you can get away with murder. IF they sold it on their forecourt then they legally would have to inform the user that its a cat C/D. Auctions are much like personal sales - they don't have to tell you anything about it being written off unless you ask for the information

This is made from fibreglass like many of the Nismo products. It appears to be fairly well made with no visible air pockets (which AFAIK) is the only thing that could cause it to crack when being painted if its done in an oven

AFAIK yes - Although there has been a tweak in the design of the bottom middle section the fixings have not changed

But those cars don't below to the BBC do they? They are part of that company that does the track days and remember - you loan a car to the BBC at your peril, if it gets smashed up they just hand it back so its not just a case of borrowing any car locally. I am guessing it will depend on what cars they have in the studio that day. It will be more than likely done in a car they do a review on. During the morning the Stig will do 'his' time in it and then probably take someone out in it.

The black version looks fairly nice - there is one infront of those two red ones. Can't remember where I saw the pic

Can I ask why you got the loom from the US?

Looks like its been confirmed that it will have 332HP - not sure what that is exactly in bhp but its similar Also heres a yellow pic

I can 100% guarantee that its not been used. I fitted it to make sure it was Ok as Ii did not want to paint it to find it would not fit. The corners were damaged slightly but i repaired them thus the slightly varying colours. The blemishes are purely visual - its as smooth as a baby bum lol

Doh - location would be good - Near Southampton - just off J13 of M3

worn?

I have a brand new Nismo Replica fibreglass front bumper. I bought it from the forum. I repaired the small bits that were not 100%, sanded it all down with 400/600 grit and its now ready to be primed and painted. As can be seen from the pics it fits fine. Genuine reason for sale - I just never got round to spraying it myself and due to other priorities at the moment realise I would not get round to it for many months and as its taking up space in the house I would rather shift it. Selling for £125. Located Nr Southampton - just off M3 j13 Comes complete with the mesh and optional smoked reflectors Ideally want the item to be picked up. YES it will fit in a 350z as I got it in mine to bring it back from a friends. I can arrange a courier but its fairly expensive due to its size

Mine will go up to 440 next year and mine is the first month of the new rate...solution. Buy tax a month early. Means I have wasted 1 months worth of tax BUT it means I save on the next 11 months

Whats the value of the tickets?

Doesn't look good. As you say it doesn't even seem like they opened the rear hatch otherwise they would have cleaned where it overlaps. Under the front of the front bumper I can see could be missed but the rest not for that sort of money. Your car should be sparkling. Might be worth popping over to Detailing World and see if anyone there know of the dealer / has had similar problems

Its slowly growing on me. I wonder how long before we see a sample in the UK to have a good look around. One thing I did notice was the shocking paint matching across the plastic rear bumper and rear arch and fuel cap.

Excactly what I now garage my car every night. After mine was vandalised and had "HELLO" keyed into the bonnet - it only cost me £260 to repair but at the time it was money I really could have used else where. It will takea long time to get that sorted due to all the damage. Real shame as it will hit his insurance too even with the protected no claims. I bet thats a good 4-5K worth of 'insurance job' damage there.

only by .2? was it. So thats around £40,000 per 0.1 seconds lol. That said the lambo is still the make you look car out there IMO

They are incorrect with that statement. Only NEW plates made after that law was introduced are required to fulfill that requirement. If the plate was made before the law was introduced (~2 years ago) and met the spacing requirements etc then its 100% legal. Otherwise you would fine that probably 25% of plates on the road are illegal.

Looks interesting. How did they go about sealing the inside of the sub boxes? Also are those boxes permanently fixed or can they be removed and returned to standard?

There just offering that as they know they can turn that round, sell it really quickly at 8K and make 2K with no work.
