    I always found it interesting that the Merc SLR's wheels were designed to channel air into the brakes like propeller blades. Never seen anyone else do this and it appears from those pics that Nissan have chosen to increase the size of the gap between the spokes instead.
  2. It lets you play online for a year then you have to pay for it as far as I know. Only used an xbox once then my mate who'd just bought it took it back to the shop and got a PS3.
  3. Almost finished it now. Been taking my time but now with GTA4 out in a little over a week I have to get my act together and finish it off. A mate read online today that there are a number of different online multiplayer options in GTA4. Cant wait.

    That's probably it except that one at the time the photos were taken is unregistered. Was being driven by a bloke who appeared to be unable to find the gas peddle. I so want one but couldn't justify 125k.

    Just spotted a Black 08 GTR in Dublin. Felt sick with jealousy. Obviously an import and the tax had been paid which as you all know is about 33% of the open market selling price after customs duty and VAT is applied bringing the total on the road price to around €110k.
  6. This just about sums up the level of interest I saw at the Lotus stand in Geneva. The Eagle is either going to be one ugly mother or is incredibly well disguised.
  7. I'd agree with Nixy. Xenon's are great lights and on the 07 they're even better being bi-xenon. Some Jap car's do have fog lights. Depends on the car obviously. A lot of new cars that have similar lights to the Z have spots on the front instead of fogs because they look good and are used as DRL's. Over a car's life time fog lights move same as the head light alignment changes. The only difference is nobody ever checks and repositions them so they end up pointing too high. They should be angled at the ground.
  8. A lot of manufactures having been calling it keyless entry for years.
  9. thats my favorite saying! I prefer the term pikies.
  10. For me there’s no point in playing any driving game without a wheel. Any Logitech wheel will do. I only got the G25 ‘cos I take them game a bit too serious. Don’t want to drive a car with paddle shift that shouldn’t have it. I only play two games now. GT and GTA. GTA has to be played with the controller. I suppose they might implement the wheel and peddles feature in the new game but there isn’t much point. GTA is more first person (if it moves kill it,) if it doesn’t move shoot it any way) kind of game as opposed to driving simulator.
  11. Just saw this on Topgear.com GT creator Kazunori Yamauchi: "Prologue is the halfway point of what we want to do with the game," says Kazunori. "The other half is our homework from now on." That homework includes something that GT fans have demanded for, well, ages: damage. As in smashing, crumpling bits of car. In previous GT instalments, manufacturers have put the kibosh on in-game damage to their cars - bad publicity, apparently - but in the full GT5 you'll be able to dent and mangle the cars to your heart's content. I ask Kazunori if it's a sign of the increasing power that the GT franchise wields. "Manufacturers are now coming to us, asking us to add their cars to the game, so we're seeing less resistance to in-game damage from the manufacturers," he answers diplomatically. He hesitates. "I'm still not sure they'll be too keen on seeing their cars roll over, though."
  12. Interesting one indeed. Am I right in saying an import shouldn't have cruise control? Hard to see in the pics but I think it has sat nav which isn't listed in the spec.
  13. I was trying to remember yesterday what the TVR factory looked like. Don't think the Russian owns them now.
  14. We had a similar vid on a communications course we were all forced to go on. It was a bloke in an ape suit that walked across. I cracked up laughing when I saw the ape. Everyone else looked at me and miss counted the passes. I still got the correct answer.
  15. Yes it is generally possible to run games like this in an offline state. Depends on what the game does in the background, for example accessing a database, and the amount of effort you are willing to put in.
  16. If using a laptop like me you’ll find yourself using the keyboard more than the mouse to move about web pages. Hit the home key to go to the top of the current page. Hit backspace to go back a page or alt and left arrow. In IE6 (I don’t use 7) hit control and tab to highlight the address bar. There’s others but they are the ones I use the most.

    And it's cheap too
  18. I never give them back. I never remember. Isn't this a repost? Read it some where recently.

    TVR

    +1 Gorgeous car
  20. Na looks good. I assume you can see the "O" up close? Lip spoiler would be best in my opinion. Someone on here is bound to have a lip spoiler to sell.
  21. Perfect. Looks so good with out the nismo wing.

    That's what I've been hearing. Been looking closely at buying a 350 or a Sagaris but the vast majority seem to of been weekend cars. It seems the daily drivers are the ones that don't develop problems.

    not from what I heard at Middlehurst Its not what I heard from Middlehurst either but its what other sources are saying. perhaps depend who you buy it off will depend what they offer Maybe, but as usual Nissan refuse to give any concrete info out and let rumours circulate when a simple info bulletin would nip it in the bud. Marshalls say no free services. Marshalls said only black and silver black editions too, but that was incorrect. They said March 09 deliveries, which is now April 09. They said delivery dates would be confirmed after the 2nd April ordering went live but thats also moved to 30th May. The point is that the dealers know no more than the man on the street and what they do know is likely to be altered by Nissan at any given point. +1 The man on the street with a little web access has always, in my experience, been more informed then the dealer.
