  1. Some of those pics are outside halfrauds near Erdington arent they? Nice ad
  2. Get an orange one.... Havent seen 5gear yet, but love the GT3 RS. Think I would have to stick to the standard GT3 though unless planning to do a lot of track days.
  3. Im referring to the link in the to rightish corner of the page, by 'view unread posts' etc. Used to be a really useful way of seeing new threads but hasnt been working for me for several months. Whwn I try it I always get the SQL error below: Is this the same for everyone, and is there any chance of it being fixed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ could not obtain main information. DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1054 Unknown column 't.topic_first_post_id' in 'on clause' SELECT t.*, p.poster_id, p.post_username AS last_poster_name, p.post_id, p.post_time, f.forum_name, f.forum_id, u.username AS last_poster, u.user_id AS last_poster_id, u2.username AS first_poster, u2.user_id AS first_poster_id, p2.post_username AS first_poster_name FROM phpbb_topics t, phpbb_posts p LEFT OUTER JOIN phpbb_posts p2 ON p2.post_id = t.topic_first_post_id LEFT OUTER JOIN phpbb_forums f ON p.forum_id = f.forum_id LEFT OUTER JOIN phpbb_users u ON p.poster_id = u.user_id LEFT OUTER JOIN phpbb_users u2 ON u2.user_id = t.topic_poster WHERE t.forum_id NOT IN (14,42,43,44,55) AND p.post_id = t.topic_last_post_id AND FROM_UNIXTIME(p.post_time,'%Y%m%d') - FROM_UNIXTIME(unix_timestamp(NOW()),'%Y%m%d') = 0 ORDER BY t.topic_last_post_id DESC LIMIT 0, 10 Line : 135 File : recent.php
  4. Anyone going? Never been before but been invited to corporate hostility of the Friday. Always wanted to go and it looks like a top day out from reading the website and what ive seen in the past on TV. Looking forward to it. Shame it looks like Lewis Hamilton and the McLaren are only there on Sunday tho
  5. Arent you taking a big hit just to get an extra 15bhp and an ugly bonnet?
  6. I look forward to Evo every month, and enjoy reading the views of Harry Metcalfe et al. However ive read quite a few comments that say certain magazines (inc Evo) are influenced by advertising revenue and reviews can be biased. I'd like to think thats not the case for evo, but who knows......they do seem to have an unnatural love for the Fiat Panda 100HP....and a good relationship with ferrari I do like the look of the R8 from most angles, but agree you cant compare with the Gallardo
  7. Nice motor. Seems to win most of the tests as digsy said. Whats it like to drive? Did you go for the yellow? and ditto with the decals! Hope you got a good deal to avoid the dreaded depreciation
  8. Well Funkystyling have told me that there is no warranty with these, so its tough and I'm stuck with them so I would just warn other members to not buy the Z badges like mine, as other types seem to be ok. Not exactly worth £35 each if they dont even last 12 months. So now ive either got to try and paint them, or put the Nissan burgers back on.... Spray it black leaving just the Z silver Not a bad idea...might try it

  10. This is what has happened to mine. As far as I know Im the only one who bought this style, as nobody else seems to have a problem with theirs......
  11. Blingtastic! How about a gold grille as well - never seen that
  12. Mines a Kuro GT4 and I bought these as I thought they went well with the car...
  13. is it nice? if not it would be nice to see how the sills turn out.....
  14. Cheers Digsy, been meaning to do something about it for a few weeks. To be fair to funkystling I havent contacted them yet to give them an opportunity to comment. Will keep you posted. Sorry to ms8qt for hijacking your thread.. and
  15. Who did you buy from? Part of a group buy on here last year - funkystyling I think. Wonder if they come with any sort of guarantee??
  16. My 'Z' badges have gone manky and have only had them less than 12 months - not very impressed. The silver is wearing off, exposing the plastic underneath. Been meaning to post a thread with some pics but not got round to it.....
  17. Sarnie's Lambo thread got me dreaming of supercars, and if I had £100k what would I buy. As much as I love lambos and ferraris, it would have to be the 911 GT3. This is purely based upon what I have read and seen, I havent been lucky enough to drive any of them, and certainly cant afford to buy any of them Porsches never used to do a lot for me, but recently I have started to appreciate them more (maybe cos ive turned 40 ), and the GT3 really does stand out from the run-of-the-mill Carreras, and can still be an every day car. ...and I'll have mine in white please.... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/174455.htm What does everyone else dream of?
  18. Dont you need to keep the Zed as a 'sensible' runabout? Youre not going to use the lambo every day are you?? I'd love to keep the zed but the money from it is going to make up a part of the money I will be putting down And no, I won't be using the lambo everyday Probably gonna buy a diesel 3 series, A4, merc or the like for the daily chore So you will be swapping your daily drive in the Zed for a soot-chucker!! Get a 911 GT3 instead and use it every day (Only joking mate - jealous really, I love lambos ) I'll keep my eyes open for you on Sat AM as I might be in the area
  19. Dont you need to keep the Zed as a 'sensible' runabout? Youre not going to use the lambo every day are you??
  20. Well you cant really hide a yellow 350z easily can you Good luck with the test drive oh, and how much do you want for your wheels
  21. Maybe not.......but there cant be many UY Nismo'd GT4s with black wheels in Birmingham Eyeing up a new Gallardo or possibly an old mans Bentley instead

    Used Prices

    Not much help to you guys, but good news to us GT4 owners .......it must be the tax advantage!
  23. Would say that was overpriced even at a dealer. I paid significantly less than that almost a year ago for my black GT4 with only 5k miles on the clock in a private sale. Was cleaning mine on the weekend and when you look closely, the front plastic bumper is peppered with stonechips....so I think its a case of '"they all do that sir" Have you checked out pistonheads, there's a lot on there at the moment including several GT4s.... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/list ... &nodays=60 oh, and welcome
