nixy

While I've been languishing around the house with my bad knee I have resorted to watching old re-runs of TG on sky. (Also I have to say that I will NEVER get a loan from Picture and if I ever find Josh's scooter I'll ram it down his throat!) Anyway, I saw the episode with the review of the Z when it first came out, they had a 2002 model from America. Clarkson basically called it a pig! He hated it. I have never ever heard him slate a car as much as he did that one. He said it was designed by americans in america with a french engine. He didn't even take it for a proper spin! Then yesterday they were looking at the soft top - he hated that too! Mind you the hamster liked it and we all know he knows best!

Being sat here with a dodgy knee on my clutch side makes me really wish I'd gone for one now! Depends on the type of driving you do. If you're in stop/start commuter traffic you can't beat it.

Very funny - from a bitch that hates ironing!

Im with you on that +1 I totally agree with the above. I would never take less money on the 'offchance' that it might lead to bigger things. If they are willing to give you something more in 6 months time after you have shown a good performance then you need to know exactly what criteria you need to have met in that 6 months and have a payrise/car allowance nailed on if you achieve it. Otherwise I would stay put until something else comes along.

Hi there, whereabouts are you from? I'm currently waiting for my import to arrive from Japan and so far can highly recommend Jurgen from JM-Imports who will tell you all you need to know about the process.

Of course my immediate next door neighbours beat you all hands down. I live on what used to be a farm which is now a complex of 4 barn conversions. Two of these are still owned by the guy that did them up originally and he owns a big granite factory. He used to rent these two houses out but now he's filled the one next to me with 9 latvian migrant workers/hoodies who have two old audi coupe's and an old porsche 944 - chaved up to the max which wake me up regularly being revved and boy raced up the shared drive. Not to mention the rave music in the garden while they stand around swigging cans of lager. Now THAT's class!

Been off work with the dodgy knee has mean I've actually visited less! Can't wait to get back to work so I can surf all day!

I have a really nice neighbour who's father is a self made mega loaded businessman - and I mean loaded! And good luck to him too. His is seriously into cars. I heard this come up our drive and thought what the hell is that?!! Looked out window and it was this I resisted the temptation to go out and look as I didn't want to look like a prat. That was just ONE of his collection. His daily drive is an M5, and he also has another Ferrari (don't know the difference myself) and an Aston. He came up a few weeks later in the AM while I was washing my car. I couldn't resist so I went over and asked if he minded if I had a look. I thought he'd be real down to earth and enjoy showing me it but no. He said something like "I was going to bring my other car but it needs washing" Just waiting for me to ask what his other car was (but I already knew). Then he left me stood there and I looked a right pillock! Never again!

Astonishing! Looked like it needed scrapping in the first picture! And what a good way to practice with the PC - I mean you couldn't have made it any worse could you! Great job!

Hi Jurgen - good to see you on here! Hope my car is nicely wrapped up on that ship! Oh and notice the estimation in my signature? Nicola

just personal choice and opinion which is how it should be.

I don't think there's anything wrong in wanting to hide the age of your car. I would do it for that reason alone. We've got a system that rips us off by displaying the age of our cars for all to see so that the industry can make more money out of people etc. I think it's good that people don't know how old your car is unless it's by it's shape - call me snobby - yes I probably am. But a 250 quid plate is cheaper than changing your car every 5 minutes if you're paranoid about it's age. Incidentally, does anyone know how to go about selling their plate?

Tesco told me they need a tracker. I got reasonable ish quote from the RAC surprisingly!

you'd be surprised how many men have raised their eyebrows at my husband in that 'you're letting a woman drive one of those?' ways. They're all jealous! I won't give it another thought!

you know, the more I think about it the more I think it is total bollocks - and more of a 'bragging' type of thing.

so sorry.

here's the link to the main page - sorry the rest was too long and I don't know how to make it a 'clicky' sorry! And how come a Z is cheaper than a civic type R? http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk you need to go to 'vehicle enquiry' So are we saying a newly imported 'older' Z will be hammered then like a new one? How can that be right?

you boys eh?

mines on the boat now - if all goes well with mine you can have a word with the man that made it happen!

there's not many cars I like in red but I do like a nice red Z!

wish I could delete my own stupid dodgy broadband - hit refresh - double posts! Sorry!

I hate to say it but that car looks like a mid life crisis - I hate it! (don't shoot me it's just my personal opinion). On the other hand if you've been offered more than you've shelled out on the Z i'd take it and start again............with a Z!

It is already decided. Its going to be a white import, non GT but with Brembo as i will be doing everything properly on it. WIll be getting the Nismo V2 kit with carbon blade and carbon canards, vents on the bonnet, Nismo exhaust and some Volks aha, now we have the truth! Only joking - you are doing the right thing - you might even save money by getting another one later.

Well done again Jimbo! Hope all goes well this time. Ignore the comments about female drivers - although some of us enjoy driving fast cars we are less likely to ABUSE them as we treat them like pets as only girls can!

sorry to hear all that! Remember, that's what your insurance is for - get a decent job done and move on. Best of luck.
