The clutch in the drift cars isn't a standard one, it's a racing-style paddle clutch.

My pictures here (uncaptioned as of now). For example:

Well that's a huge disappointment. Better colour than any of the normal ones but I don't like the graphics (blantant 911 GT3-RS rip off!), and why aren't we getting the NISMO one, that's what I want to know!

I went from a 53 coupé to a 56 roadster and back again to an 08 coupé, and what I noticed most during the last change was how solid the car felt compared to the roadster. I was expecting to miss the roadster noise but in actual fact the latest engine (with the dual intakes) sounds better yet.

Yes.

You can get adapters which turn pretty much any format you want into CF.

Pah, ruddy big money football, Rotherham have just overtaken the mighty Mariners. Guess I best start preparing myself for Conference football...

I stopped watching it after Spa, it's just a load of cobblers.

Probably the single most disappointing film I've seen this year.

My pictures from Brands are here - good job I went on the Saturday as the car retired after lap 3 on Sunday evening and I don't think it ran at all on Sunday.

Here are a few pictures from the event. Saturday was absolutely brilliant, not too hot, no traffic to contend with, good crowd and atmosphere without being crowded, and a great showing from Salvador Duran to win WSR race 1. The WSR cars were fantastic - very nearly on a par with A1GP or GP2 cars, and sounding glorious - hard to believe there's a VQ under the Renault badges! There was a black pre-hump coupé with Nismo kit leaving as I walked back into the car pack; it had been parked a few rows ahead of me but I didn't notice it when I walked in.

Wickford/Basildon.

Hoping to be there on the Saturday.

The brochure still clearly lists Bluetooth as standard - my car was delivered at the start of May without either cradle or adapter but my dealer assures me I will get them once whatever supply problems Nissan have are resolved.

I'd have thought that there's every possibility that when they say "goes on sale" they mean the order books open. If it's anything like the 350 it'll be 2010 before anyone actually gets one! Personally I'm waiting to see what happens with things like Nismo kits as they were another 6-12 months after the initial deliveries last time too...
