  1. put me and Anita down for this too, subject to the following.. 1. She hasn't had the baby three weeks early, and 2. My new Maserati hasn't turned up. This will be my farewell drive out in the Zed.

    Maserati 3200

    visited the dealer today and he echoed the thoughts about upping to a 4200 if I could. Didn't realise it has the same engine as the Ferrari 430, more or less. (430 obviously .1 of a litre bigger and enhanced con rods and pistons.) Sounded awsome when started up and in sports mode!!!
  3. Due to the impending increase in family size..... I am considering one of these.. any one with previous, advice would be helpful!
  4. Back in 91 I was driving late at night in Dorset when a big salloon car just kept there in my blind spot sat in the fast lane, no other cars around, so in the end I said sod it, floored it to get away from the prat. Bit surprised when suddenly he put on blue lights. He was in an unmarked 7 series BMW, so I explained that I thought someone was trying to either follow me or just s**t me up. Bearing in mind I was on my way to an Army camp, and the first Gulf war was ramping up, he let me off. So they may be good drivers, but they are very aggressive!!
  5. She just wanted to talk about Kylie and how much she wanted to meet Jacques, which eventually she did... the lure of a potential F1 driver was more than that of a Caterham K series driver...
  6. That would be the planned release of the limited "Evo" edition in 2009/2010. Possible limited to only 250 cars....
  7. do a search for "pentagon" tinting. Regarded as the best in the business, but like many companies will almost refuse to do front windows.
  8. It has been said amongst the corridors of power at Nissan that they want to get the GTR released in Europe as quick as possible, hence the day out at Goodwood! So it shouldn't be the standard get it months after the North American and Japanese markets line that they normally follow. As they say...911 watch out!!!
  9. How about just ordering a smaller narrower filter. much like the ones with the twin turbo
  10. Ring them up and order one online. Should be retailing at 55k and there will be a limited deition "Evo" available too....in very limited numbers, although not until about 2009...First GTR's will be around maybe October this year
  11. Last time I was at Oulton, I buzzed it at 250 feet and then realised there was a track day on.... ooops
  12. I see Middlehurst are taking £1000 returnable deposits for orders on the new GTR..... Already 47 on order at aprox £55k per car!! http://middlehurst.co.uk/index.html
  13. snogged danni Minogue when I was racing back in late 90's..
  14. Get the car on a big open space, deselect the ESP and give it some!! Preferably when the tyres are on theoir last 500 miles worth of tread so you don't mind cutting them in!!!! Failing that....get some track time at any of the venues around the sountry.
  15. If you are ona about the plastic duct I think you are on about....lever off the popper with a flat head screwdriver and the retainer comes off and the duct just slides off.
  16. Its' and Ultima. Those two cars were the fastest on the day although the lambo got the highest terminal speed at 176 mph
  17. what happened? Well I hadn't planned to run, just help out. However my friend who was running the event and had his TVR Cerbera there asked me to give it a go...so I did. Now I am about half a mile down the runway at 120 and I am red lining thinking what the hell is up... then it dawned on me..... how about changing up from fourth to fifth!!!! Doh! anyway, some more shots...
  18. Well it turned out to be an awsome day with some very powerful (and light) machines on disply, including the Auto car press car. A very nice yellow Lambo Murcielago!!! A couple of tasters for you. The only other jap cars were a GTR and an RX7.
  19. I have found out to my expense that with the 06 model it is impossible to get the filter down inside the bumper on the CAI as the washer reservoir for the headlamps is in the way, so I have gone for the short ram version at the moment, but may revert back to stock as I reckon the filter will pick up more hot air when exposed. The sound is noticable when revving at stand still but not really once you are going. Asthetically it looks lovely but is the HP compromise realy worth it?
  20. In april, as sure as eggs are eggs, the tax will go up to £400. Answer? Hand in your car tax in March, for a one moneth refund. The next day, go in and get 12 months tax at the 2006-07 rate before it goes up. Save £100 straight off..... That would work right???
  21. got my new Z!!!! Before and after shots...ooops! http://forzamotorsport.net/forzamotorsportnet/handlers/forza2handler.ashx?ID=1711221&mode=7 http://forzamotorsport.net/forzamotorsportnet/handlers/forza2handler.ashx?ID=1711277&mode=7
