Hmmm, after buzzing round europe in the zed I've picked up a 'shopping trolley' for a mix of work commutes (Zed comes out to play on a Friday though) and for the mtn bike.... Got 130mph out of her on the Autobahn, plenty fast enuff for me. Somehow my average speed ended up being 29mph.... and I got 28.5 mpg (aircon on constantly) during the run the 3 week tour that took in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Liechenstein, Italy and France.

mine is a darn sight quicker than my old car (1.6sxi Astra) and to be honest like the rest of the guys I often find my self cruising just a bit too fast. Gonna take mine to Europe for the summer and totally looking forward to a trip taking in Bruge, Germany (I wonder why?) lake Como and Eastern France. Wonder how the beast will cope with my travel bag, the girlies trunk and the camping gear...........

Just got the Zed back from the dealer after sorting a few warranty issues. Talking of which.... the old window wind noise issue at highish speeds they claimed was non warranty (an adjsutment not a replacement part worth badgering nissan uk?) Anyhow back to the main track..... I'm about to replace my rear tyres the fronts have got 5mm left of the (I'm assuming orginal, milage approx 12k) Potenza Bridegstone rubber but the rears are barely legal.... have found a like for like cost of £156.28 each fitted but was wondering if there was a better tyre being recommended for an 05 350z? Cheers in advance

But twice now I've not got a beep out of the engine after unlocking and trying to start her. On both occaions buggering off to collect something and returning say 2mins later and she started first time...... (after feverish locking unlocking had no effect) now my car can't be psychic and know I've forgotton something...... oh and i've got those extra air vent trims but one ain't sticking own too well... any product anyone can recommend? also just to keep the stubby guys happy.... my shopping list currently is: tonneau luggage mat stubby cheers K

Er no. I haven't bothered have entered into an arrangement with a pal. We just swap cars when I'm desperate to use the bike. I'm away up north 2 weekends a month visiting the lady. So time free to mtn bike is limited, so swapping cars once a month is an easy solution....

hope this worked......

Q very quick photo...., from the forecourt prior to my drive home.... or I would If I could get in to the right size..... hmmmm didn't realise I was technophobe

Will post a piccie or two later today. Awesome drive home...... might have to leave the computer on speed setting as I often felt I was being legal only to find that maybe speed feels very different in a 350z compared to my old Astra....... Only noticed 2 slight flaws..... all on drive home rather than test drive: one of the interior lights (passenger side) ain't working (prob just a bulb) quite a bit of wind noise from drivers window at higher speeds, think the window slips slighty But these minor glitches don't lessen the pleasure......... my pal after 10 seconds of being in stated 'I want one' ..... we all know how that feels.....

I'm off to the airport......... less than 3 hrs to go........

under 20 hours, and well I'll sleep for 8 and fly down for 1hr so allowing for the airport malarky I only have 10hrs of free time to use up.......

i guess you'll be going back over the top of the M25 but if you go on the south side, let me know as i'll be in the area Yeah I'll be going over the top but I'm sure I'll be looking to join a meet in the future..... I'm so going thru a v slightly early mid life crisis but do I care? Mid life is 40 right?

well less than 24 hrs now....... I'm so excited I just can't hide it.........

Just over the 30hr mark........... Ona more serious note does anyone have a tonneau cover and luggage net in tandem..... just wondering if its sensible or over kill?

2 Days and 13 ish hrs my by reckoning..... wonder if I'll get spotted driving her back from Exeter on Saturday?

JUst the 3 days now...............till
