Pingu2

well it's not made for general polishing - it's made for use with removing scratches/marks..

I have averaged 21mpg this year - too much town driving maybe!

Pistonheads article on the same http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=17369 that's what I already linked

the tension!

I like 5th gear too although a lot of people here dont for some reason - I think Plato is about the best qualified car reviewer on tv

I remember seeing on top gear when they did a similar (secret) launch control in a ferrari - was it a 599?

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topi ... 475455&i=0 0-60 in 3.3 seconds - thats quite quick!

i extended my warranty by 4 years for 600 quid.. couldnt refuse that for the price of 150 a year.. havent needed it yet though!

and why am i the first to do...

I agree that stock engine I would go PE - it should be the earliest kit to come on boost and is both safe and inexpensive (well - kinda!).. should be able to run it up to nearer 400..?

2 new Night Blue owners - v nice

the controls are generally reckoned to be pretty heavy - but I think you would quickly adapt to it - I don't find driving the Z tiring.. (when it was in for a service last month and they gave me some crappy small peugot courtesy car, I was so worried I was going to snap something off and couldnt believe how little feedback the controls gave me)..

mmmm Night Blue - nice

tempting i must say! can't you paint it red?

voted! afraid I voted for my own pic - as I wanted to get at least 1 vote!

nice sequential gearbox too of course!

Was there too - boy was it cold (even for a Penguin!) inside track or outside starting didnt see it making any difference - they swap over after 1 lap after all.. so only the grip at the start could really affect it and that looked pretty even.. schuey did very well as a non rally driver really and was totally dominant in the single seater buggies (beat Button twice by good distances) - but ekstrom was very good in the evolution F cars (more rally style).. enjoyed it but thought it was expensive - guess thats why the stadium was half full.. would go again if it was 25 instead of 55 quid! mcrae tribute was nice to see - got a good reception for that.. and Priaux got a great crowd response, especially when the other guy (forget who it was) spun his aston coming out of the last corner and priaux won by a foot or two!

A man hasn't been feeling well, so he goes to his doctor for a complete checkup. Afterward, the doctor comes out with the results. "I'm afraid I have some very bad news," the doctor says. "You're dying, and you don't have much time left." "Oh, that's terrible !" says the man. "How long have I got ?" "Ten," the doctor says sadly. "Ten ?" the man asks. "Ten what ? Months ? Weeks ? What ?!" "Nine..."

palmersport used to have some 350z's they used on their track lesson days?

http://www.driftclub.com/DriftKing.htm Enter the Drift King. Drifting a car through a corner is not the fastest way around most turns any racecar driver will tell you strait out. This is where Keiichi Tsuchiya was crowned the Dori Kin or Drift King. In Option drift contests; style and technique are evaluated for exhibition values. Lately contests have been judged on racing lines and setup for multiple corner drifting, this is more difficult.

i am going to RoC on sunday but that is a bit different from normal road or circuit driving .. the course is very tight (meaning some degree of drift is useful for setting the correct line) and of course they want to entertain the crowd too!

generally speaking drifting/sliding will not be the quickest way round a corner (on tarmac at least - except in a real hairpin maybe)! but it does look good of course you dont see F1 drivers drifting (much)..
