I’ve read the 115 page transcript and Andrew Benson of the BBC has missed the point completely. McLaren were found guilty of breaching article 151c of the International Sporting Code back in July. The September 13 hearing was to present new evidence that could of altered the punishment (or lack of) issued in July. The evidence presented showed that other current information other than the dossier was filtering into the McLaren team. It showed that not just Coughlan and Stepney were involved. Coughlan was in possession of enough data to build, run and test a 2007 Ferrari. In the Toyota case the data was one year old. I wasn’t aware of anyone going to jail. My understanding was that Ferrari actually sold the data to Toyota. The drivers should have been banned as part of the punished because if you are going to suggest the data was likely to of been used then the drivers would of benefited. Obviously its understandable that they weren’t for financial interests and the fans would of taken it very badly. Offering immunity was a very sneaky way round it. To put it simply it was impossible to say Ferrari info was not used in the design/development of the McLaren car. I think Ron actually accepts that this is a real possibility that cannot be ignored. Therefore he is focusing on finishing the drivers championship, doing some house keeping (i.e. Alonso, possibly Pedro and maybe a few others) and getting the 2008 car 100% ready to be allowed into the 2008 championship and fight for it. One other thing Ron has to deal with is Jonathan Neale (Managing Director, Mclaren Racing). Neale meet with Coughlan in March and became aware that Coughlan had been receiving data from Stepney. To quote Ian Mill, QC for McLaren “we think that Mr Neale should not have turned a blind eye, being a manager, and thus should be penalisedâ€

Why?

I would of thought everyone knew about them by now. I know of one where not only was the head gasket an issue but the drive shaft failed.

I would guess it connects through an existing aux input. Does the Bose have one?

haha that looks like a random photo from some restaurant.

Because the bollox is unemployed. Gets community service instead.

You can see mine here. Alas no Nismo kit. Not an option here. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 Guy

The MY07 roars when started from cold. Incredible sound. Lasts between 30secs and a minute. The MY04 was never as loud. Guy

hmmm. If something were to happen to prevent Alonso from wining the championship I would expect it to be a fuel rig problem. And most likely at a crucial moment where Alonso would lose a number of places and therefore points. Btw, the transcript makes interesting reading even though its 115 pages. Guy

**** me that's got to be someone taking the ****.

Pah, UK road tax bill would pale in comparison to ours. Any car over 3ltr is €1348 a year. That collection is a bit of a waste imo. I wouldn't even enjoy looking at all those cars if I owned them. I would say he's a bit of a nut and collects them like others would collect stamps or something. Guy

Had another go and there's no way you were getting 1:40's on the GP track. Had to of been the sprint. Still trying to master the clutch for the start. Time to watch the new series of Prison Break before having another go.

Not as pretty as a koenigsegg but it does remind me a lot of the F1.

Now that's how I'd like to drive across the US if I got to do it again. (and could afford it)

My phone's not in their list and have been using it since Aug last year in my old Z. Guess that means they're either not too quick in testing or don't update the list or my phone has been discontinued.

Ok. Would someone mind lifting the small cover to see if they have one or two cables connected to their cradle? Cheers. I was under the impression that the car was pre-wired for the kit but Nissan held back on the cradle (in Ireland) as a option so they could charge you through the nose for it. This makes me wonder why you have two cables instead of one like I do.

This is the cable I have in the bottom of the arm rest. Is this the same as yours??? Guy

I'll got outside now and have a look under the small hole in the arm rest to see what cables are visible. Guy

He doesn't have the cradle. Same as me except I didn't notice any wires under the arm rest. hmm we never got a UY model here in Ireland. It could be that this car was destined for Cyprus before it arrived in the UK. When a car arrvies off the boat all the kit is added. i.e it's not done in the factory. Maybe they left out the phone kit at this point.

It's a strange one as I have a Samsung SGH-X820 and never had a problem setting it up with the Z.

I'm in the same boat. I have the antenna, the mic, the steering controls but no cradle. It's an option here in Ireland. I was discussed when I found out. Especially as they was €175 plus vat plus fitting to put it in.

Did you have a look at this on the parrot site? http://www.parrot.com/usa/support/installationdiagrams/parrotck3100/?idcables=1&idmanufacturer=27&etape=2 Normally the Parrot cable fits in between the stereo and the wire coming out from it to the speakers and power. At least that’s how I fitted it to my Celica and a Renault. The instructions listed above are specifically for the Z with a Bose install. Guy

1:40's!!!! I was in the 2's. I suck. You can also host a race online with up to 14 cars. Could be interesting.

BMW computer game which allows you to drive the Nürburgring grand prix track in the M3, complete with an accurate recording of the car’s V8 as it screams up to 8,400rpm. Sounds great. I haven't set a time yet as I have too much fun. Download here: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicles/mseries/m3coupe/2007/experience/game/content.html Guy

Clutch on the 07 is very light when compaired to an older Z. I like a heavy clutch so I would actually prefer to couple an 04 clutch to an 07 engine. Be sure and test an older Z just for the hell of it. The dealer I sold my 04 Z to hates it. Doesn't like the clutch. Doesn't help either that the throttle body needs replacing now. Was fine when I traded in.
