There were boat loads of imported 350z's though so there definitely has been precedent for it... but i dont know if its still the done thing. Looking at the exchange rates, back in 2002 it was 180Y to £1, now its about 140Y to £1, so 22% worse now which would be a factor i guess.

I meant year not month... but you're relying on you writing a car off to break even - statistically it's unlikely, so you're backing the wrong horse. Google says 'one in every 83 drivers will have written off their car every year'. I wouldn't place a £250 bet at 83/1...

Ive only skim read this thread, but I wouldn't dream of paying an extra £250 on the off chance you might write the car off. There's no 'break even point' as you might never write another car off at which point you've thrown away £250 a month for the next 40 years of your life (£120k!) If you wrote the car off and were a few K out of pocket, just slum it in a cheap car for a few months until you've saved up enough to cover the difference... thats better than overpaying for insurance upfront for something that odds say will never actually happen. (statistically if you've written one off, does it make you more or less likely to write off another... i'm not sure )

How come you sold your Zed? I thought you were in for the long haul on that project?

These pictures are great.

1000% agree. Ive been driving an 05' E90 320d with 170k on the clock for the last 3 months (my wife's car). Its quick and fun to drive - more fun than my 5.0 Mustang tbh. Hydraulic steering is lovely. I enjoy driving it so much i've booked a track day at Donnington next week and i'm taking that and not my 'stang!

Wow, might as well be free at that price! I'd be there every week i think!

free as in, you dont pay for it?

Awesome videos, that looks like a great little circuit!!

Is this going to be released in the UK do we know yet? I've just read a brief article on Adrian Flux suggesting it will be, and will be priced around £23k which I cant believe. I'd have thought closer to £40k would be more realistic... But if they're that cheap then i'm having one! Will look good next to my Mustang on the drive way. https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/blog/2020/01/10-new-cars-to-get-excited-about-in-2020.html#:~:text=2020 Ford Bronco&text=The 2020 Bronco%2C however%2C is,bulkier version from the 1970s.

Searching for L55UST 350z in google images returns only this photo: Which is a link to this site! Found these for L66UST which it says is the 2006 promo car...

Nah, i sold it to a lad from Manchester (back in 2013) and he sold it about 3 years ago, but not sure where it went.

Sounds like it could be my old one... UK52?

I could read this all day... I've had my angle grinder out this week and chopped down a store-bought work bench to be narrower so it fits in a small space i had so i can close the door. Took me about 4 hours.

Thats cool, these look great. I was in Japan in 2018 and bought a few paper craft kits - they're everywhere in Japan! They're extremely intricate/detailed and the materials used are high quality (its card rather than paper).

No reliability issues at all on mine, touch wood, after 14k miles. There are a few reports of build quality issues on the forums, but mine has been perfect. There is one major fault that im aware of that can occur to do with oil cooler failure, at which point the engine is ruined and Ford replace under warranty, but this appears to be on the earlier 15-17 models i think.

Mine's a 5.0 grabber blue auto, which'll be on the market the month your deal runs out...

Your rocket looks lovely, I really like them. I'm just missing the noise of mine now... i keep looking at it longingly out of the window.

I know... i even hate myself for saying it, but i just dont get them. I think it's im just into the more modern movies... Goodfellas/Casino, and then Sopranos (which i've watched through at least 5 times!). Every scene of The Godfather has been parodied and re-done 10 times better in other media that the whole films have become cliche.

I've got a 2018 Mustang which i was planning to sell when my deal ends in March 21, if not before. I'll only owe £18k on it but hoping the bottom doesnt fall out of the market too much before then, as i should have been expecting in the region of £28k with < 20k miles and some good mods, but who knows, now.

Den of Thieves is probably my favourite film of the last 3-4 years.

Im as big a fan of gangster movies as you'd ever meet, but avoid The Godfather series, they're dreadful! I've forced myself to watch them twice through as i was sure i must be wrong after the first viewing, but no i was right - they're crap! I'd never seen The Shining until a couple of weeks ago... that was top of my list for things i cant believe i've never watched.

On my JDM it was a generic off the shelf foglight that was butchered into the right rear indicator cluster... don't know if they're all like that?

I used the clippers i use to shave my dog to give myself a #1 all over. I had this haircut for nearly 20 years anyway but decided as a last throw of the dice i'd grow hair again in 2016, but i always hated it and have been looking for an excuse to whip it off again.

Yes doing this, and leaving non-perishables in the garage for 3-4 days to save having to disinfect.
