A lot. The Ring itself isn't that great, but the surrounding roads are excellent.

453s wee all over 452s from a great height.

I'm now in the process of building my retro collection PS1 turned up today, ordered a few games from ebay to go with (GT1, Tekken, Destruction Derby, RR1 & Tenchu), and hopefully picking up a 32" CRT next week too. Still got the SNES, GC, Saturn and DCs as well, will probably grab a NES too. I may get a MS and a MD too, hopefully with M-CD and 32X just for giggles if I can get them cheap enough.

RIght, bit more work on this today. Finally. Swapped out the ABS unit for the spare, however that was not without issues. All the mounting bolts came undone easy enough, however the lower three brake pipes were a bit more awkward, which meant that as you're struggling with them all your brake fluid is p*ssing out all over the floor And of course, being super-sensible I didn't bother emptying the reservoir beforehand (thinking it wouldn't take that long) so all my nice new blue brake fluid ended up over the floor. Then came the really fun job of trying to get a large box with larger brackets out from a tiny gap full of cables. Yeah, that went as well as you can imagine... Anyways, all I needed to do was to top the fluid back up and test, so I just grabbed the spare bottle of fluid I had handy. OH NO WAIT I DIDN'T BECAUSE I DON'T CHUFFING HAVE ANY :rant: So I can't even test it, as I've had to order some from Driftworks. Arse. Oh, and whoever said a little while ago that ATE Super Blue was now impossible to get as it was illegal, Driftworks have loads in stock if you need some

That's what we're saying: You've got this detail hidden in the text though, when it's the price that most people will look at first. Just take the £250 off the price, and it instantly becomes more attractive.

"350Z, the car for attention whores!" ;)

So not pure at all then! Car really is a very good read, some very talented guys working there and they have scoops well before others do. Well worth subscribing if you don't already

I was wondering that. Paying for VED helps no-one, just reduce the price instead.

I had no idea Guess that explains the reaction, then. Sorry Ken, no offence meant, but surely you can see where I'm coming from?

Perhaps, but it's based in truth. You cannot get an OEM yellow 350 unless it's a GT4. You can get a 296 bhp 350 in factory black for peanuts, and it'll have the better interior. You could add the wheels as well (not as rare as they once were) and have a better car for less. As such, I'd say the yellows are worth a premium but the black ones should never be, not any more.

4kg?! Wow, they're very light! Carbon?

Yellow ones might be worth a premium, black ones definitely aren't.

Bit of both, there's a few of us who do them (some more regularly than others), but usually if someone sticks a post up saying they're going then someone else will join them

Track days are ace

Might want to read a review or three of The Order: It's been panned to high heaven. TLOU is great though, but I didn't enjoy it very much. My loss though, the quality of it is clear.

If you're not planning on going to the redline, you might as well get a diesel! Seriously though, petrol engines can suffer if not given a full workout regularly, so please don't be afraid of using the full rev range.

You can do it online using your passport photos, if they're under 5 years old. Takes 2 mins. We used the same system to update our licences with our new address. It really is a great system.

Definitely a trader. Also even if you bought it via eBay, if it's not as described you'll get your money back no hassle.

Depends. If it takes you 12 hours of arseache on the phone and letters and stress getting it sorted just after you've lost your P&J, is that worth £300 to you? It is to me, but I have a very low arseache tolerance

Shortfall is usually bigger initially, and then will decline the further on you go. That's why most GAP only covers you up to three years, and if you have a finance term over that it'll only cover the first three years.

"Ere, my cars got some of them anthrax wheels!" "Yeah, well, that's nuffink: Mine's got AIDS in the boot! Apparently it's the original ones too, got first on and everything..."

Finance fwends!

"Most deadliest car on the road!"

With Mini themselves? Yeah, us too.
