  1. to the club. Don't worry about restrictions it gives you more time to surf and look at what's out there.
  2. to the club. Night blue my favourite colour(unbiased) mine was the same year but ragtop. Enjoy it they are great fun.
  3. What about this one? Happy New Year btw.
  4. Me comedy no I am just too weedy, merely a small acorn.
  5. Sorry I was being a bit wooden here? I was just pining for some help? But it's a Fir point.
  6. Good luck whatever you choose to do Chris but (unbiased) keep the Stang in a cupboard somewhere.
  7. We looked at Wranglers a few years ago love the look but never got one. So expensive even older ones. Keep us posted about the Bronco. Looks fab @ATTAK Z number 1 son did a good job.
  8. A little random I know but, there are plenty more people on here with better eye sight and probably more patience than me, right now! Before Christmas we had a very large pine cut down. I love trees but this one was always very much hated. It made the whole side of the house dark, nothing grew underneath and you can't even open the windows upstairs before the local fly population would jump off its branches and pay you a visit, maybe that was my aftershave I don't know anyway I digress! How many rings can you see in this picture? I recon about 70 but after 3 attempts I gave up. My house is from 1916. I can't see any dark pollution on those rings yet on the oak and ash nearby it quite plain to see? Btw I live on the outskirts of an old Northern Mill town (cracking toast Gromit) so I would have expected some pollution?
  9. Sorry.... ........his is actually for sale. If there is one thing I will say about him, I found someone who is more anal about cars than me! It's the cleanest car on the planet and whatever it needs it gets sell sell sell.
  10. A friend of mine has a Mulsanne, Arnage and classic Mk6 Bentley. I have driven all of them. If you want something that can move the gravitational pull of nearby planets the Mulsanne is the car to go for, if on the other hand you want to go a little Gangster style and pull the pants down of most cars on the road even today the Arnage! Sheesh that car is a really a beast in a suit! A lot cheaper than the new stuff but don't look at the fuel gauge!
  11. Are you looking at getting a new Bronco? I have been keeping an eye on those from the start - love the look, hopefully they will build RHD eventually?
  12. No Chris noooooooooooo don't sell the Stang! I hope to hold onto mine as long as I can afford to (it's partly your fault I got one in the first place! On the other hand Lucy loves her M2 and would recommend that as a good all rounder.
  13. I do think they have similar side profile (ignoring the zeds chrome flash thing) similar rear arch, and front light treatment. I expect they will change the grill as people have mentioned for the American market?
  14. Is it just me or is there a bit of a similarly thing going on here? I even managed to find a Roma in yellow to match.
  15. Ok so it's the waiting game then. Pandemic first, post Brexit shakedown, wait until about 2029 for a grey import. I do find Nissan and Infiniti quite silly sometimes. Infiniti did sod all to advertise came in spent a fortune then left with nothing surprised they were not an instant hit? When Nissan decided to release the Cube in the UK, they went to the trouble of spending a fortune tarting it up as apparently we like our luxurious cars here? The Cube was hot Japanese stuff, we wanted it, again no adverts no nothing and they were surprised it never really sold, although it took off on the second hand market. We had one for a while and loved it. When they have something that is a well known model like the zed in their line up that is different to the usual run of the mill German suspects, they don't consider it? Shame.
  16. Now we are technically EU free, didn't we make a trade deal with Japan? Are we keeping EU emissions for the time being or am I being naive? If not worth writing off to Mr and Mrs Nissan, ask them to send a few Zed-pees this way?
  17. to the club. Can't help with the questions unfortunately but plenty of geeks on here that know the cars well. Merry Christmas
  18. I have to agree, stick with what you are good at. Leave the car building to companies that have done it. Although sometimes a clean sheet approach can work but physics is physics. With over a 100 years of car development these companies know what they are doing. Either way like Tesla I can't afford their prices.
  19. I was reading about an experiment the boffins at Oxford Uni did to convert CO2, Hydrogen and some iron into synthetic jet fuel, which sounds pretty impressive and promising. But Jet fuel is kind of refined diesel, soooo if they can do it for jets why not create clean diesel and we can continue to use oil burners without the enviro worry? Looking at it through my simple rose coloured glasses. https://www.wired.com/story/could-carbon-dioxide-be-turned-into-jet-fuel/ What do you think? An alternative to EV's especially as 99% of freight and passengers are still powered by diesel engines?
  20. An Apple car? Oh ffs the range on that will be about 5 miles and it will no doubt go back to a 1980s inspired slab sided look, just like the phones! Move over Bentley your cars will be on the cheap isle compared to Apple. Why do these electronics companies think they can diversify into totally the other end of the scale? You don't see Hotpoint washing machines making cars do you? Mind you if they did the cars would really be on fire!! (see what I did there?) Ok ignore the large Korean brands that do make white goods and cars.
  21. That chrome flashe on the roof are just the designers trying to be fancy emphasizing the shape I expect? On the Ford Mach e where they have the top roof section in black to make it look lower than it is, so clever optical illusion but the chrome flash on Zed-pee is a bit naff I have to agree. Like you I love the retro look/feel hence why I drive a 2018 Stang, but I am a genuine classic car man too. On my RX8 there were alloy rotary emblems all over, the only one I liked was the rear central fog light in that shape, which was cool the rest a bit pants. Let's wait until 2023 when we might see them appear as urine yellow imports.
