  1. Sorry, that wasn’t meant as a dig, I totally get the reasoning I was merely speaking in broad terms. Most manufacturers kill off the base model at the end of the life cycle, and it’s not like the 370 has been a massive seller for Nissan anyway.
  2. It makes sense really, I can imagine no one really wants the basic model anymore esp when the car itself is so old now, so everyone is buying the newer one which is what they’re maximising production of. I’m actually half amazed that they’re producing the standard 370 at all.
  3. Does it bobbins assuming a £30k car is going to have payments of at least £300pcm, another £24 is nothing.
  4. Why was it cancelled then? I missed that.
  5. Anyone who runs a performance car or who spends over £30k on a new car and even gives VED a second thought needs shooting. It’s totally and utterly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
  6. Not sure a potential 400Z would be remotely eating into Alpine sales at all. One's a mid engined four pot with a DCT, one's (likely) a front engined turbo V6 with a slushbox. Sports car vs GT, 250bhp vs at least 350bhp. My biggest worry for future Zed is that it has no idea what it wants to be. Not luxury enough to worry the Infiniti, not sporty enough to worry the Cayman, too pricey to worry the GT86. If (and it's a big if) the rumours are true, it sounds like it's destined for Flopsville. Or at least, not remotely interesting for those of us that y'know, like to actually drive a car.
  7. See, I'm okay with this one Truth is, flat earth opens up far more questions than it ever answers. Davey has his beliefs that are very much rooted in what humans used to believe in hundreds of years ago back when we thought we could treat all illnesses with leeches, and most of those thoughts based in just that: Belief. There's zero evidence to support a lot of what he believes to be true, yet he still chooses to do so. I can't have a serious and genuine intellectual conversation with someone who thinks like that, and whilst I admire a lot of you (especially Col and Stevo) for carrying this thread on with reasoned debate, ultimately you're on a hiding to nothing. Davey, as I've said before you're a lovely guy and anything non-religious and non-scientific then I'm happy to treat you like a brother, but on this I have to take a step back for the sake of everyone. My posts on here of late have become flippant simply due to the fact I find your replies/questions obtuse and misleading, and whilst I'm certainly open to the idea of questioning everything sometimes a blinkered response caused by religious beliefs closes your mind off to what could actually be the truth. I respect that you have different beliefs to me, but whereas I can accept that new ideas may well cause me to give second thought to previously upheld truths (so let's use the Higg's Boson or even Hawking's ideas), I very much doubt that anything anyone in the world will ever say to you could change your spiritual beliefs to the point where you question them. But that's okay. We don't all have to think the same, and whilst it would be very easy of me to make a ridiculously sarcastic comment here I choose not to, out of respect. What I will say is that I genuinely hope and believe that one day all of mankind will open their minds to what is in front of them, and not look back to the past for guidance. Ironically the sooner we question everything (and I mean everything), the quicker we can all move on and look to the future.
  8. Well, I’m convinced now, that’s conclusive evidence to me. Flat earth ftw.
  9. Exactly. It’s not going to be anything near as exciting/interesting as we’d want, which is a massive shame.
  10. Triple pea roast now
  11. FAKE NEWS FAKE CAMERA FAKE LENS FAKE GEAR

    Honestly, unless you're planning on serious head work, cams etc then it doesn't make any difference. Anything other than stock will see an improvement, it just matters on what you want it to look like and how deep your pockets are.
  13. I buy a car for how it drives, not what it looks like. Driver, not poser

    Well it’s not, but it’s less restrictive and my OCD prefers one either side

    With track day limits in mind, aim for as quiet as possible. You’d be better off running two setups, one for the track (OEM) and one for the road (whatever you like). Best of both worlds that way.
  16. Glorified hatchback? Exterior looks aside, it knocks spots off the 370 in absolutely every department. But then so it should, as it’s not ten years old.
  17. Surely the ISS is fake news? I mean, how can it be orbiting a flat earth...
  18. Really not worth the bother. Move on, life’s too short.

    Best? Lightest and least restrictive, so arguably a true dual would be best. However, you’re talking fractions and tbh I’d just get the one you like the look and sound of. By all means spend £2k on a titanium job if you can afford it, but otherwise there’s not a lot in it really.
  20. What a load of clickbaiting nonsense that article is.
  21. The key word was ‘rhetorical’.
  22. Yes... BMW... Yes... The dark side is this way...
  23. Agreed. It’s good we’re seeing plenty of new EVs coming, but I’m very concerned we’re not seeing any substantial increase in network capability for charging, both at home and more significantly on the road. I know you need demand first, but it’s quite clear now that many (if not all) manufacturers are progressing rapidly with RVs so where’s the infrastructure? It’s more a rhetoric question than anything.
