Coming from 3.5 years of 997 ownership, but two things I would say straight away: 1. Along with an Elise, the 911 is one of the classic driving experiences that everyone should have a try of once in their lives. All the weight out back makes for an incredibly intense and unique drive. 2. Read up on IMS and bore scoring. If you're in the unlucky 5-10%, then you'll need a slush fund of around £8K-£10K to get it up and running again. Astounding cars, modern 911s.

Still might not have been you matey, my truck was covered in swirls when I picked it up! Dealers have no idea how to take care of a car before delivery, and tbh I can do a much better job at rectification than they ever could. Same thing happened with Jo's Mini when we went to pick it up, so we just got a load of freebies instead and I spent a day making it look perfect

You may not actually have made the swirls: More likely you simply removed all the crap that had built up over the years, and you could simply see them easier. But yeah, lots and lots and lots of lube, and keep folding the clay. Throw it if it gets too dirty or if you drop it, too.

Very kind offer Do you have much experience with Zeds then?

So what did you like/dislike about the other cars you tested, and why ultimately did you for for the 370ZN?

No, the cleanser just removes fine polish & wax residues. Claying removes much more than that. Even the instructions for the cleanser say to clay first, I believe.

Clay before any polishing Claying removes any final contaminants so you don't work them into the paint with the polishing phase.

It's not so much the scratches, it's the swirls. That said, by rinsing first you'll minimise it, but you can't get everything off just using a jet wash and you'll be rubbing the remainder into the paintwork. It just makes life harder when you next polish, as you'll have a load more to deal with.

I love you Lexx

NXT wash is garbage. Bought some to use to wash the vans at work, wish I'd never bothered. Everything else looks good though, I use a lot of those products myself

I'm back! I'm not dead! I'm slightly deaf Car was ace and vids to come soon!

REVERSING ARGH

Ah, but this is proper Belgian Stella, not the bleached crap they sell in the UK It's actually really drinkable and smooth, lovely drop

Scratchy scratchy. Go to the jet wash and take your cleaning stuff with you. You'll look a ****, but at least your car will look pretty.

I'm 2 litres of Stella down and my spelling OCD is still firing on all cylinders

What does the light reserve?

Off to Spa today ready for the trackday tomorrow, weather looks foul but I'll have a blast anyway GoPro is all charged up too, I'll be interested to hear the sound quality once it's in place, it's quite noisy in here now. I've picked up a set of noise cancelling headphones that I'm using to stop myself going deaf

I'm currently about 4 cars behind you in the previous carriage, in the blue MR2 Twin nostrils, aftermarket black wheels, lady driver, on your way to Spa too?

I have no idea what any of you are talking about Anyone care to elaborate?

Divorce. It's the only way to be sure. Aside from nuking from orbit, of course.

Change it all as a first point, can't hurt and is the quick and easy option.

Ah well, at least I know where they're from now, thanks chaps They're not powder coated, I sprayed and lacquered them myself. They came out really good in the end, just not for the right car

As per the title, is it? I've got a bunch of these and I sprayed them all up nicely to match the MR2 wheels, and then I discovered they're not MR2 nuts If they're not Zed ones, I've no idea what they're from!

Ironically if RB had complied and used the dodgy fuel sensor and been able to run more fuel and more power, they'd have been okay. That's what makes a mockery of the decision.

Pretty much, yes. Same as with the 911 Turbo/S, you get two power figures and you always need to go on the lower one as the higher one is only ever available briefly. Until they launch a special edition and you can have it all the time
