Near Burnham, west end of town. Haven't been there long

Shame you have to sell it looks mint but sacrifices need to be made - good luck with the sale

Thx Stanski feels weird getting rid of her

Sorry , I'm an idiot and you are clearly both right (I blame a long day) - it isn't the 313 version it is the 296

A very, very sad moment has arrived.

After three joyful years of motoring my darling black 350Z needs to be re-homed due to the arrival of a large mortgage.

She's done 44k miles and been serviced by Nissan from new, and still has a warranty from them until Arpil 2010, she's got the GT pack so full leather interior, sat nav, bluetooth, and rear parking sensors and is the 296bhp version.

She has been well looked after but some idiot opened thier door into her in a car park about a month ago leaving a very slight ding in the dirvers side flank about the size of a 5p piece and, inevitably, there are some very light scratches on her paintwork which, when she's been polished, you can't see

I want about £16,500 but I'd be willing to discuss it with an enthusiast.

I'm in Slough these days

That was kinda my reason for posting this....

I don't doubt that Al Gore has smartened his act up, or that he sincerely beleives what he's saying, but I do have concerns in some respects for the information he's relying on. He's a great politician, and frankly a better man than Bush will ever be, but he re-invention as a darling of the green movement is a bit weird and a bit sudden

The ice core samples are odd, becasue they really don't match the projected levels of CO2 with tempreature (of course bearing in mind those tempreature readings are guesses so this is far from damning evidence that undermines the whole global warming argument).

The problem is that the weather systems that affect our planet are SO complex we simply don't understand the basics, which means that it is highly simplistic to say "Co2 is the root cause of climate change". For example, you can corrolate the last ice age with a period when earth moved through a galactic dust belt, whether or not that caused it is another matter.

It all seems incredibly certain for a very complex problem is all I'm saying

Yes and no....the IPCC report is OK but it still has a huge number of flaws in terms of it's data. I think the film is definetly scewed to promote an extreme position, but then so are all the films on the other side (Al Gore's film contains almost no scientifically supportable statement except the world is getting warmer)

Don't get me wrong here, I am genuinley trying to find a basis of fact, and I don't doubt that man has an impact, but I am also un-convinced by science that has to rely on probable models in something as complex as weather. We can't forecast the weather for tomorrow never mind for next year, just look at the "it'll be a freezing winter" claim made by the met last year. It was mild, pretty normal.

This is very intresting....

Not sure I'm convinced either way. Any thoughts chaps?

most women back seat drive anyway, so you'll be fine for now Nixy

 

Moi! Actually I'm quite a bad passenger - I never dare say anything but I get told off all the time for gripping the seat or covering my eyes while the other half's driving. I prefer to be in control myself.

Nixy, me too, I tend to take sharpe involuntary breaths at bad moments. Net net, I haven't "remembered" to get my wife insured on my car yet....

that SUCKs, I hope it's sorted soon

Wind him up and post all your findings on here,if you dont give me his email address and i will

Excellent!! Louis, tell him that to prove to you that his intentions are honourable, he must send you a photograph of himself playing air-guitar with a large fish.

 

You have no idea the lengths these desperados will go to!

Sir, I doff my cap to you....yes a large fish, or perhaps express your concern for his immortal soul and ask him to convert to the church of the flying spaghetti monster, all hail his noodle appendage, and thus need to see him in full Pirate regalia

EDIT - it occurs to me that no-one will have a clue wtf I'm on about...see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvnlANy5kzo

I honestly thought the 419er thing was a bit passe however for a bit of a chuckle follow the little blue links

419er baiting has got to be an Olympic Sport at the 2012 games....

The DSG box changes it into a different car altogether. Of course the DSG box is an option that costs thousands.

 

I have to say I have never been so bored as I was when Audi lent me the old shape 3.2 TT w/DSG. It was utterly rubbish. I was expecting quick up and down shifts, but when I put my foot down I had time to make a cup of tea, watch one of the LoTR films, make love to the wife and write an essay on existentialism before it changed gear. Worst piece of kit ever. Buy a manual or by an auto but don't buy anything with DSG fitted.

 

I note that tea and hobbits come before shagging in your book, Billy!

you've never met my wife

I'm with Sarnie on this one, those seats are ****ing horrible (unless you plan to go pimping.....)

That said I've got orange seats (which I try to tell everyone is 'tan')...somehow they reall go with the black paint job

Don't buy a TT I say but people just don't listen.

 

 

Guy

couldn't agree more. Just don't do it.

**** it, I'll put the wife (and Sarnie for those "buy-one-get-one-free" sort of deals) on the game. What do you reckon a reasonable rate for the evening...I'm thinking about £10

I'll also happily donate my in-laws house to the cause...£300k less expenses to hide the bodies

Here you go

 

See everytime I see one of those I can't help but think "should have bought an Aston".....

I'll be buggered if I can get the thing to put my pin where I actually live rather than somewhere in Holborn...anyway it'll have to do

Gutted for you Andy. I've had that happen so bloody often it's not true. Moral of this story, middle lane what ever the speed

There is a Superchaged Z here :-
