It actually looks very nice in black, think it's due to the fact it hides some of the black plastic bits. I take it the 3.8 V6 will not be used in the new Zed?...

I have to be honest the clutch is heavy in comparison to a lot of cars, however I would agree with the rest of the comments that it not really an issue when driving it. The RX-8 as Lomoto says loves oil and the MPG is terrible for the size of engine, christ I've got a 6.0L and I'm not a million miles off what it gets. I nearly went for a 335 BMW but then I thought .... totally soleless The only issue you'll have is 2 seats, seriously think about that and if you can live with it. That is the reason I had to part with mine as I couldn't take our niece out anywhere. If you decide to get one I've got a lovely set of 19s for sale good luck

Poor bu66er, I thought insurance covered this sort of thing. Heard a good one today from a builder friend. Sorry if slightly OT. The house he was working on was getting patio doors fitted. Mr Thief decided to put one of the bricks through the new doors. He then proceeded to try and steal the car as he got the keys, but it wouldn't start. So he took the builders petrol canister to the petrol station in broad daylight and purchased petrol. Came back and it still wouldn't start. So he stole a few things and left. This happened in broad daylight and funnily enough the petrol station caught him on CCTV ....oh BTW the car had a flat battery What a fnck1n nugget!

Speculation on which team, (if any) Alonso will end up in
rmmackfc replied to Kev946's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I would expect Honda to be a lot better this year. With Ross Brawn in charge and the financial power of Honda who knows.... although they're MotoGP bikes sucked for the majority of last year too! -
