I got 3pts and £60 for 107mph on the A12 (and that was an average over 1/4 mile!). Really decent coppers that pulled me over though, they were stern enough with me that I've learnt my lesson but not patronising and with the common sense to realise that I was doing that in perfect conditions on a straight bit of road. No excuses though, it was bloody stupid and I was an idiot back then.

I save it all for the track now.

Just told him the truth... i bought 2 family cars...i actually bought a 350z & rx-8.

Not quite then

let us know what you said in case we need to copy!

"I've got copies of those photos of you and Max Mosley together"

?

33mpg? Where can I get one of those diesel Zeds?

It is not yet known if the increases will affect the UK market.

You can bet your ass it will. Tbh I'm not surprised as it makes sense to do it on your premium models that people will buy regardless than on the lower price ones where's there's plenty of competition.

That's very old news (check the date in the article!), and I'm never going to try it. Besides which, they've now brought (or are in the process of bringing out) a newer SPECS which catches you regardless.

The trouble I have with Setanta is that the whole reason they ended up with the England and Premiership games is that the European Commission decided that Sky having all the games was too close to a monopoly, and they don't like those so ordered them to split the packages up. Now, instead of just paying for Sky and getting all the England games included, I have to pay more monies instead.

Nice one EU busybodies, that worked out really well

Right, gotcha.

Why didn't Nissan just make one type and leave the bloody thing alone!

Must've changed it for the '07s then, as my brother's car has sat nav but no lid at all.

Thinking about it, even if that part from JDM doesn't let me rob the lid from it, I wonder if it's possible to change the whole thing? Go from flip to retractable?

Good find, think I'll shoot them a message now to find out.

I'll try and get a shot of the slot I cut sometime this week, weather permitting. As for the c/f idea, again it's something which sits over the entire console rather than replacing it. Well, all the ones I've seen do anyway.

Try Partfinder mate, you may be suprised, I know these are rare but it might be worth a go

Not a bad idea, might try that now. Cheers!

Chris at JDM Performance used to supply a set of self adhesive aluminium effect decals for the air vents, sunglasses holder and the cubby. Maybe worth a try before you commit to paint.

The trouble is I've scratched both the main part AND the lever bit as well, and the sticky bits only cover the main face of the flap.

If you have a cubby with a flip or without a flip you may be able to remove the cubby part so you can put a screen in... Just have to take your dash apart

Having just spent a weekend taking it to bits and dremmeling it to make the TomTom XL fit in it perfectly, I'm loathe to change plans at this point again. Besides, how do you think I scratched it in the first place?!

Nope, both completely different.

Imagine the difference between a mobile signal and a home telephone line. The home line will be better quality and guaranteed to work but you need to be right by it to use it. The mobile should cover more area but quality is variable, and in some places it won't work at all.

They're different technologies and don't interchange with each other.

3G is broadband speeds over the airwaves (like a normal phone signal), and wireless is Wi-Fi that connects via a router to the interweb.

Wi-Fi will usually be quicker, but you need to be near a Hotspot to use it. In theory 3G is available in a far wider area, but most coverage is patchy at best.

Popped into the dealership today to see how much a new flap actually is. Now I knew it wouldn't be cheap, but I do think that £123 is taking the p*ss somewhat.

I think I'll have a go at spraying mine first to see if I can make it look semi-decent. I'm not sure I can ruin it any more, put it that way! Just need to decide on the colour now...

She was one of the more-clothed ladies there this weekend, I can tell you

I'm going tomorrow and leaving mine in the public car park, nowt wrong with that I reckon.

Eeepc?

Why is your car dancing, that's what I want to know?

What is 'turbo shuffle' anyway? Never heard of it, and Google wasn't particularly helpful.

****, thought that might be the case. Cheers for that matey, is much appreciated.

Am I right in saying that the cubby hole flab in the centre console was changed for the revup cars and onwards? On earlier cars I think it slots back into the console when open, but on the later cars it stays sticking out, yes?

I only ask as I've scratched mine to buggery and need a new one, and don't want to order the wrong part if I can help it.

Thanks!

Certainly does, explains why I'm having such difficulty locating PS2s!

I've seen Pilot Sports advertised on most places when I've been searching for PS2s in the last week, so are they one and the same? It's been quite hard to track the PS2s down really, as most places only seem to stock the Pilot Sport.

Nice one matey!
