  1. What are you after in particular? Nothing a U.K. Supplier can't get you?
  2. Thirsty Gallagher Still, being three times over the limit the next day means she had a really decent sesh the night before. Idiot.
  3. That's a very exact amount, most people would say either £4500 or £5000. My concern for you would be budget to actually run & maintain it, rather than whether you'll find a car in the first place. Can you afford 23 mpg at £1.30 a litre? Then there's clutches, suspension parts, tyres etc all of which the 350 likes to eat a lot of. Apologies for any general assumptions here, it's just how your post comes across.
  4. I only get to make Lego jokes as I used to have one
  5. Not at all, I'm jealous of folks from that part of the world. I'd be a much better swimmer if I had the webbed feet they do.
  6. I remember when I went from VXR220 to the 350Z, my insurer at the time was happy to cover a significantly modified limited edition plastic bathtub from Norfolk but wouldn't cover a standard mass-produced Japanese lump!
  7. I'd agree with that actually, I don't see any need for a reduction in the limit either. I'm not against someone having a single pint before driving, as long as it's not the real strong stuff.
  8. Unless the land owner is involved, then any invoices are speculative. This is how many people are still able to evade parking charges, as the agreement must be set up in a very specific way.
  9. For me, I'd get an Elise or VX220 too. Nothing comes close, and although the straight line figures will tell you one story I can promise you that even a basic Elise will be easy as quick as a 350Z, if not quicker. It'll be a damn sight more involving too. Other than that I'd be looking at an S2K, or a decent Impreza STi. The latter is far more fun than you think, and if you get one in the right spec it feels special enough to be a weekend car. Put it this way, we've got a hoon planned for October and I'm taking our Scoob instead of the BMW. I'd also give serious consideration to a Boxster, get one at £7K and pocket the rest in case you need to sort the engine. More usable than the Elise, more special than a 350Z, and a flat six engine howling is a thing of great joy.
  10. Personally no, I wouldn't get a 370 when you've got a HR. So what are the must haves/have nots of a new car? Give us some more detail and we can make some suggestions, before I reel of a list of cars you have no interest in.
  11. Not unless he's the land owner, and can set up the legal framework required.
  12. Not a police issue, so they won't even bother to attend I'm afraid. They will if there's criminal damage caused to a bike though...
  13. Is it the same bike? I'd be tempted to take a note of the reg, then add that to the sign. If someone sees that, they may just think twice before parking there.
  14. Good vid, but jeez man that music was so unnecessary! The lights sell themselves dude
  15. Pics plz Welcome along, glad you're enjoying the car! Out of interest, what was it about the Boxster S (986 or 987?) you didn't like? Also you say you didn;t drive any E46 M3 coupes, I assume you prefer cabs then?
  16. Large panel gaps look sh*t regardless. Race cars I'll forgive on the basis they get knocked, but street cars have no excuse.
  17. They will, they really will. The correct way to do a big conversion like that is to buy high-quality pieces (i.e. not replicas) and get a decent bodyshop to fit. Cheapy parts will fit like crap and look like crap, and will need a ton of bodywork to fit. Even the proper stuff will need a bit of jiggery pokery, which is why it's so important to find a decent bodyshop not just a cheap one. Else you end up with a sack of sh*t like in the video.
  18. Are they the new A048s Alex?
  19. I really hope you're being sarcastic about the panel gaps.
