I love every bit of that car, except for the stupid doors.

I got an email through this morning telling me that BT had sold my debt of £66 onto a collection agency as I'd not paid it for ages. This was the first I'd heard of it, so I started digging a bit. First stop: The debt collectors. Spoke to a very nice Scottish lady and said that I was disputing the debt, so please check back with BT before proceeding. Now, this is where it gets interesting... I've got both a personal account with BT for the home, and I'm the nominated contact for the work phone as well so I thought it best to figure out which one this debt related to. I went through five addresses before we found which one, and it turns out that it's my personal one that relates to my old house. That's a bit odd, since I moved out of there a year ago! After more digging with them, they said the account relates to the period between 9-7-08 and 23-9-15. The earlier date could well be when I switched back to BT, but the latter date? I'd been out of the house for nine months by then! So I called BT. I gave them my details, they found my current account (which is up to date), but could they find the other one? Nope, no chance. The woman I spoke to was very helpful, and she was as puzzled as me as she said that although she wouldn't be able to do anything with my account now BT had sold it on, she should at least be able to see the details of it. But no, it simply didn't exist on the regular BT system. She could see it on a different system that the account number was correct, but nothing else at all. She gave me another number for BT Credit Control, but they couldn't see it either. Now, can you guess where this is heading? Yup, I think we can all see the future on this one. Debt collector goes back to massive corporation. "Our client disputes the bill", "We can't find that number. You need a different department.". "Hey new department, our client disputes the bill!", "Don't care, not our department, go bother someone else". "Hey newer department, our client..." etc and so forth, until the debt collector boss man says sod it, go chase him and take him to court anyway, he'll cough up as it's only £60. No. No I won't. It's only £66, but I refuse to quit. This should be fun!

I remember when I did a 911 the other year round a mate's house, I started in the morning first thing and the damn snow foam froze to the car! I had to get a warm water hose out to rinse it off. Lesson learnt there!

They won't like it full stop! How do you think it's going to look when you get pulled over after they've already spotted you running without a plate, only to discover it's magically back and you've got a remote button to hide it from the speed cameras? Best case they're going to make you remove it and report back, worst case they're going to hammer you for perverting the course of justice. Seriously, the best option if you don't like a front plate is just to not run one at all. At least then you can say it fell off and you didn't know about it, which is at least believable. It's also weight saving, so you'll go faster!

You wouldn't tell them: If they don't find the car then they'll never know, and if they find the car then they give it back to you and it's not an issue.

Whereabouts do you live?

Good post, nice one bud Looking at the values though, just look at the tolerances between the settings: At the ends of those, you'd have a car that handled completely differently. For the performance model, you'd have though Nissan would've tightened those up.

Light snow that doesn't settle, not really. Even if it's leaving a light dusting by the side of the road, it's really not much different to driving in rain. It's when it settles, or when it freezes and you get ice that you'll start to have real issues.

Oof

And what pads are you going to buy to go with them?

Budget?

Ooh there is that as well, good point. Some are absolutely fine (mine was), but some have been known to be dreadful. That's a pretty big risk.

So you don't think a V8V will be any quicker than a 350 on the roads, you think the new Mustang looks dull, and you'd rather have a DB9 over the V8V? Well, it's taken 2,598 posts, but finally I agree with every single word you say! :lol: Y'know, if they're in budget then a manual DB9 could be a good left-field choice.

I'm from Essex so I can relate too, but £35K?! Sheesh.

Cayman and an R8? That man has good taste.

Trouble is, you then have an engine of completely unknown quantity. This one is from a crashed car, could've been run on any old fuel, revved to high heaven from cold, run low on oil etc. A rebuilt 135K engine could actually be far superior to one with 53K on it, easily.

I think you need to join up and respond to this Dan: 'Stop using other forums, this one is the Holy Grail of all things GT-R and we all know they are unbeatable by any other car. Right now Bugatti are wondering whether to release the new Chiron at 1500bhp or up it to 1700 so it doesn't get trounced by a GT-R. Whoever these people are who insist a lowly Pork product can leave the mighty Nissan in its wake need their mouths washing out with soap. Bring them to me now! Only thing I would reply to that with is a thumbs up, for impeccable use or sarcasm on the internet. It's a hobby of mine, so I appreciate it when I see it

Says the man that owned chose a convertible 350 Hah, this is very true, I do always buy the ugly cars! :lol: MR2, VXR, 350Z ragtop, 645... Yeah, I think you have me on this one! Although maybe that just proves I know what I'm talking about with ugly cars...

Some pretty respectable responses on gtr.co.uk which is good to see. Very much like here, it seems like they just like their cars and don't always think that theirs is the best regardless.

See? That is a mess of a design. It's like giving a 7 year old a red crayon and asking them to draw a fast car. It's hideous.

Perhaps your old windscreen was so dirty, the reflection couldn't get through the dirt Either that, or because it's not OEM glass they've put in it could naturally reflect more light.

Of course! It just happens to be correct, that's all.

The old one, yes. The new one is a pile of scum scraped from a tramp's gonad.

I'd already have submitted the forms to MCOL by now. I'd have done it there and then in front of him, tbh!

Pretty much. I was very excited by this, and tbh I'm their target market as I've already got the PC to utilise it and I love gadgets and gaming. If you can't convince me, then you've got big problems. Sony's issue will be that they need the equivalent of another PS4 as a processor for it, so that's going to be a fair whack right there. I wouldn't expect the quality of the screens to be as good as OR, but that's not as important on a home console.
