  1. Possibly leant on the window whilst fixing the screen, so it's thrown the mechanism out of sync? A quick reset should sort that out, and possibly the wind noise too I suspect.
  2. As per the title, really. I'm going to be removing my K1 shortly and going back to stock so I can do more trackdays and happened to mention this to my brother, who said he'd be interested in buying the exhaust off me. Am I right in saying that the Y-pipe is not interchangeable between the DE and HR engined cars, but that from the mid-pipe back any exhaust (including the K1) will fit?
  3. They normally have a chase car in situations like that, so even at 80mph on the speedo I think you'd have been okay. If it worried you that much that you'd been caught though then maybe it's worth just doing the speed limit from now on? It's really not worth it on a dual carriageway, as you'll be so angry at yourself for getting points when you weren't actually getting that much out of it. Now if you were playing tag with an Exige/GTR/LP640 down some fantastic country roads on a summer's evening then it might be worth it...
  4. Utterly, utterly stunning. Current Masers have the best looking and most imposing front end of any car on sale today IMHO. Saw a GT in the flesh up close for the first time at Goodwood last year and was gobsmacked by how awesome it looked.
  5. Must be on the Sky website surely? If not, they're really missing a trick.
  6. Used Cayman S 3.4 would be my choice every time for that sort of money in a coupe. If you didn't find the 370Z to be that good after two test drives then it's not the car for you: I knew the 350 was right for me after 30 secs of driving it, and that was after a few other test drives in other cars too.
  7. Gentle bump as these are still for sale
  8. This. Anything else is hideously selfish parking IMHO, and you're really asking for it. If it was a Zonda or a Veyron then you might be excused, but it's only a bloody Nissan at the end of the day. I usually just park normally as far away from the entrance to the shop as possible, as that way you're less likely to get people parking next to you anyway as they're all lazy bastards. That said, if it happens then it happens, it's not the end of the world and it's only a car. Mine's got a lovely scrape mark up the door but I really can't see it when I'm inside and blatting down the B-roads
  9. Definitely under warranty as the OEM one stays with the car, not the person, no need to register or anything. I've already claimed twice for mine and I'm the second owner.
  10. We thought she was a boy until we discovered her 'sister' was the one that had testicles Damn RSPCA had mixed their names up when sexing them!
  11. On the same theme, call him Dee? *gets coat* I called one of my cats Geldof. I can't stand Sir Bob, but his surname just fits a cat perfectly, even if said cat is female
  12. Always a good reason to use and abuse a set of wheels! I'll pop you a PM and we can get the details sorted.

    05 or 06?

    Having sat back to back in mine and Rich's, I'd say it was almost night and day. The layout seems a lot better in the '06 (placing of the hazard switch and the mini-cubbys in the armrest), and certainly the plastics are a lot nicer to look at than all the elephant-hide stylee in the early cars. The silver HVAC controls are a nice little touch but not that critical, but I do prefer the extra cupholder on the pax side in the early cars compared to the useless drawer thing in the '06+.

    05 or 06?

    Personally speaking the interior on the '06 is so much improved that it's worth saving a bit more and getting an '06 GT car, after all that's where you spend most of the time
  15. While it's not a true test, and you could still technically get a s59 for it if you were being a tit, I passed my MOT last week with it on.

    17's?

    its good to know, but in order to do that i'd need to borrow a set while the work was done. Buy mine for £200, sell them on when you're done to the next person who wants to get their wheels done;)

    Clicky clicky In the arse end of nowhere, but really decent guys. Owner used to run a Zed, too

    17's?

    The place where I had my Rays done charged a mere £35 per wheel, or £45 if you wanted them done in a particular finish. I was really happy with the finished article too.
  19. I got my bill through today funnily enough. 2-bed house, occasional occupancy during the day, combined gas & electric for the last quarter was £240. I refuse to pay DD as I'd rather have the money sitting in my account getting me interest than in theirs.
