  1. That is sooo kool. Think any cat would be a bit pi**ed at being called "burger and fries". I want that cat.
  2. I thought GTA was now exclusive to the 360? No chance. http://crunchgear.com/2007/05/03/xbox-360-making-for-slow-going-of-gta-iv/ Personally I think the 360 is a waste of cash. Played the GTHD demo on the PS3 the other day and loved it. The only games I buy are GT and GTA. No other games interest me. Also watched Casino Royal which came with the PS3 and wow. I'll be buying my PS3 as soon as the next GT or GTA is out.
  3. You saw two in Dub!! I see about one a month here at most.
  4. brillo pad it seems! Are you serious they said that? I have not heard anything so stupid in my life! Well apart from "im pregnant" Yep- the person who I spoke to even put me on hold to confirm the 'grease' excuse with a colleague as she had heard about this last week on another call! This is priceless. I'd call Nissan GB for a quote on the grease story. What I cant believe is that some one has actually admitted fault on this.
  5. That's the top of the window sticking out. Not sure what the story is in the footwell.
  6. I have no doubt it will be back but the format may be that of the last series. Short series with made for tv feature episode type of thing. http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2007/04/stories/17/1.html
  7. Yep, they did it again. This time it was the very new Koenigsegg CCXR. In summary it was a Koenigsegg engineer driving it between photographic locations for the TG team. Hit a traffic cone and wrecked it. The CCXR is bioethanol fuelled and has 1004bhp. Pics and info here. http://www.topgear.com/crash For those who don't know, another car they crashed was a Ferrari Enzo that was hit by a bus.
  8. You must have line-of-sight of the vehicle to call shotgun. www.shotgunrules.com
  9. Obviously a touchy subject eh? When I posted a comment stating “most importsâ€
  10. Dan is spot on. Most imports have been repaired in some way. When checking lift the carpet in the boot and also lift the rubber seal on the doors. Look for trapped dirt, as Dan said, under the paint. Also check for sort of wavy lines running from the roof down to the boot. Check of weld repairs in the boot, around the door sills and the engine bay. Particularly look for welds in the engine bay. They may look like they should be there so take pics if in doubt and compare them to cars here. Also look for uneven gaps in the panels between the bumpers and the fenders (front and rear). Low mileage imports are the ones to be most cautious around. The clocks may of been tampered (happens a lot) with to entice someone to part with their cash even though they know about the repairs. Best advice is to take your time. I'm an impulse shopper myself but when you're about to part with 20k you've got to be sure it's worth it. There's a lot of Z's for sale out there so there are plenty of good ones. Guy
  11. Wow looks so good. Have to be honest I didn't think it would but wow. Guy
  12. A car designed for the stereotypical super rich muppet that thinks SLR's are too common. I'm not a Cabriolet fan. Most look like broken sports cars (mainly cos of the rear seats), have impractical rear seats and only a beautiful women can look good behind the wheel. Guarantied you'll see one or more at the next Gumball if there is one again. Guy
  13. Hate kids so all I'll say on the subject of next car is most likely a new Z then a GTR next year. I figure it'd be better on depreciation as mine is an 04. Just get a second hand M3, 5 or 6 and a toy for the weekends for youself. Guy

    Gumball 3000

    Notice in the crash pic all the sponsors logos have been removed. Just to pre-empt any comments that the paint scheme is different in the crash pic to that of the next page in the report (http://jalopnik.com/cars/a-sticky-mess/russian-bmw-reportedly-picked-up-morley-and-mcconville-after-deadly-gumball-3000-hit+and+run-257495.php) there are two nearly identical Porsche’s in the rally but with opposite colour schemes. Red for blue, blue for red. You get the idea. If at fault lock them up I say. Isn't Morley that block from Lock Stock? Guy

    CBT

    Best of luck. Always wanted to get a bike licence but cant be assed working my way through the different grades. Maybe some day in the future. Guy
  16. How many times a day do you see people changing into reverse, not engaging the clutch fully and giving it a good grinding. And not just once. They go at it over and over. Or engaging reverse before the car has come to a complete stop. Or holding the car stationary in gear on a hill rather than using the handbrake. I couldn't care a less when a car is advertised as "One careful owner" or "One lady driver". The clutch could be on its way out from any gobshite and really needs to be tested before purchasing. You don't need to blast off the line at the lights to bust the clutch. In fact I would expect more damage do of been done by “one careful ownerâ€
  17. I must be the only person on the planet that was bored watching 300 and I like violent movies. Guy
  18. True that. The workshop manual provides exact times as to how long a job should take. Any longer and they have to justify it to Nissan to get paid. I walked out of the last dealer and made a complaint to both the owner and Nissan Ireland because they wanted the car for the day to do a 30 sec job and said they call sometime during the day when done. Guy
  19. Don't buy a TT I say but people just don't listen. Guy
  20. Didn't TG vote it car of the year at one point? That 02 car would of been a crap test car. JC of course tries to find fault with all cars except the ones he wants himself. Judging the Z on practicality and storage is like judging a micra on performance. The convertible they tested was again a pointless test. JC drove the TT, which he always does, with the DSG box which again he always has. Again this is a pointless comparison. A stock TT (old shape) is both ugly and performance wise crap. The DSG box changes it into a different car altogether. Of course the DSG box is an option that costs thousands. The Z IMO is like a muscle car of old and not much else. Great fun. Guy
