    VXR8

    They look the part but they are built very cheaply, feel very plasticky inside and don't drive too great either. VXR8 is a much better bet, from the drivers seat.
  2. Ooh M5, now theres an idea !!! I missed one a few weeks ago, I was well stocked up and didn't have enough to buy it, never enough money in this job
  3. Man on the way right now to drive away my Z4 M Roadster. I'm gutted, I loved this car. So what next ? I currently have two 350z, a Roadster and a Coupe but they are polished up and minted in my showroom, so seems a shame to dig them out. I'm fancying a big comfy auto this time for a change, maybe a Jag or a 7 series... Of course it's all down to what comes my way, but would be interested to hear any suggestions.
  4. The current CO2 level in our atmosphere is 377 parts per million. This is a decidedly average figure, in the Earths past it has been as high as 700 parts per million and even this level had no descernible effect on the climate. Global warming is a natural phenomenon that is beyond our current influence or control, and to blame motor cars is just a sham. It's nothing more than an excuse to justify increased fuel duty and emmission taxation.
  5. Could not be happier, living my dream of owning a Car Dealership. Wanted to do nothing but this since I got my first matchbox cars as a child. If I won the lottery tommorow I would carry on doing this but with more cars
  6. Arrived yesterday, 06/56, Coupe, Gunmetal, GT Pack, Sat Nav, Rear Parking Sensors, 18 inch Rays etc. 12,000 miles. First service free to group members, whenever it falls due. Pictures here : www.TheGlenNissan.co.uk
  7. The secret to a happy life is to do something for a living that you actually enjoy doing. Since I started my own business about 7 years ago now I have never been happier. I now have 5 staff and have no good reason to go to work, and yet I am there six days a week because I want to be there. I love it. It's just not like work at all And if I won the lottery tommorow I would just buy more stock and carry on doing what I'm doing
  8. I think thats a little harsh, I didn't think Jay was that camp, until he started stroking my leg...
  9. Too true, I've got an 06 GT Pack Roadster in Grey with 9k for £23,995. And mine is all original with the correct front bumper
  10. Not good mate, very sorry to hear about your loss.
  11. Actually it's more like £2k for "stolen to order" cars. I have a double garage at the end of my driveway. One door is permanently left open and I have a metal fence across the opening. My two Rottweilers have a kennel inside the garage and can obviously see out all the time. My car is parked on the driveway, directly in front of the Rotties and my house is to the right overlooking the garage and the driveway. My property is at the head of a cul-de-sac and facing a lake, so very few people or vehicles approach my house. Anyone that does sets the Dogs off barking, which lets me know someone is about who probably shouldn't be. When the Dogs bark I usually go to a Window to have a look and I have seen several scroats making a run for it, obviously surprised at the Dogs being there. They come on foot around the lake, and beat a hasty retreat in the same direction. Most often it seems like they think the garage door has been left open by accident and they think they can get in and steal something, which is hilarious when the Dogs leap up at the fence barking and baring their teeth. One night I was in an upstairs room and saw a skinny lanky scroat - typical drug abusing petty thief looking to steal something he can sell for a tenner for his next fix - creeping across in front of the closed garage door, heading for the open one. I could see both Dogs were at the fence and seemed to know he was coming, so I watched and couldn't help laughing my ass off at what was about to happen. The guy almost leaped out of his skin and I swear to God Linford Christie wouldn't have kept up with him when he scarpered. I've lived here about 3 years now and for the past 18 months it's been very quiet. The scum seem to have learned they can't get near the house or the cars because the of the Dogs barking and letting everyone know scroats are about. So this is my tip if your worried about your car or your house getting burgled, get a Dog or two, preferably large and noisy, Rotties are ideal and have a kennel built close to the thing you want to protect As for this poor bloke getting a battering well being set about with baseball bats is one thing and pure cowardice on their parts. Lets face it creeping about in the dark is a very cowardly crime. But defending yourself against three "armed" men is self defence and no court in the land would convict you for sending them to A+E wearing their bats internally.
  12. Pictures now live, very pretty car, no nasty marks inside or out and drives like a new one.
  13. I'm not keen on heights and that would scare the crap out of me.
  14. I'm collecting this car on Thursday. It's direct from Nissan and finished in grey/silver metallic with Black Leather and all the usual toys. Pictures should be live on my website by Friday PM. The car will be fully PDI'd at point of sale and for group members the first service is on me when it's due Part exchange considered, finance arranged at sensible rates etc. www.TheGlenNissan.co.uk
  15. I come right past your house I go to Dalry and come right through kilwinning.
  16. I'm not going to London cos I don't want to get stabbed or shot. I might do Manchester but I want to bring a minder. Will somebody hold my hand
  17. I go to Ayrshire every second Wednesday, anywhere near you ? I had great fun in the snow this morning, crossing the west Pennine moors on fresh snow in the Z4M. Some people have no idea how to drive in snow. I caught up to a P plate Vectra who was obviously not very confident so I hung back and watched as he entered a right hand bend, slammed the brakes on and went straight up the kerb with his wheels locked, muppet. Then I caught up to a VW Sharan going down a big steep hill, constantly on the brakes and sliding into the kerb at about 15mph. He must have hit the kerb at least 5 times within a mile or so. I didn't touch the brakes once. At the bottom of that hill was another steep hill, this time going up and I knew at 15mph he wasn't going to make it, and my Z4 would definitely have got stuck. Luckily the Sharan stopped in the dip between the two hills and put his hazards on, so I went round him and gave it as much as I could without spinning the wheels. Got up to about 30 and sailed up the hill no problem. I have no idea why he stopped in that dip but I would imagine he is still there. From a dead stop he can't possibly of continued up the hill or gone back the way he came. Everything went well from there until I came to the outskirts of town and this total muppet of a Taxi driver in an Avensis came to a junction, looked straight at me and then decided to pull out anyway. It's annoying enough in good weather when they drive like they won their license in a raffle but on snow I couldn't have braked hard enough anyway so just went around him and gave him the finger.
  18. I just know I'm going to be gutted when I watch it drive away. And the chances of another turning up are slim...
  19. The Z4M Roadster is superb, I've got one and love it to bits. Even contemplating withdrawing it from sale and keeping it for the summer because I like it that much.
  20. LOL Decemeber is rubbish in this job, I only sold 4 cars compared to 25-30 in a "normal" month. I'm seriously thinking about taking it off sale and keeping it for the Summer. The chances of another turning up are quite slim and I just know I'm going to be gutted when it sells.
  21. I've never tried it, but it doesn't seem like a particularly a good idea. Me standing on anything remotely slippery is an accident waiting to happen and should be avoided at all costs. Never mind careering down a big pile of ice perched on two little sticks thinking I am amazingly skilled and very cool whilst completely oblivious to the fact that I am mere moments from certain death. Someone would get hurt and it might even be me. And anyway, I would look silly.
  22. Happy birthday you senile old fecker
  23. Just had to resurrect this one. I've now done about 3000 miles in the car and this is way past the point where I'm normally bored and want something else. I love it. Without shadow of doubt this is the best car I've ever had. For me, it's got everything I want. It's quick, it's feels good on the road, its well screwed together and looks quality and it's got an excellent stereo. I also love a soft top, but haven't had it off much - except with my 17 year old receptionist Most of all, and this is why we really buy our cars, it makes me feel good driving it. I love every minute of it and I think it looks the dogs gonads. New Years Eve I went to visit the now ex-girlfriend in Loughborough, which is 124 miles from me. I did it in just over 90 minutes. I went down the M6 and across the A50 and by the time I crossed the M1 at Loughborough my average speed, thats AVERAGE speed was 78.9 mph. Serious tool this car, roll on Summer !
  24. I live in beautiful picturesque Blackburn In the heart of Lancashire, the birthplace of the British Cotton Industry. The cotton industry sprang up in this area because it's so damp round here, the constant rain makes the cotton less likely to fray and easier to handle. Of course it would have been great if I'd realised this BEFORE I moved here
  25. I feel I have been a little harsh, I must admit Clarkson can be pretty funny sometimes and he probably makes me laugh more than the other two. Still wouldn't shag him though. Sorry Jeremy
