  1. Hi, I bought a new mobile from the o2 shop (real shop not online!). Had it just under two weeks and when I have it in my pocket, it keeps making calls and texts and going through the menu and stuff (even when its locked, it unlocks itself somehow ). I want to change it. It was a pay as you go phone, not a contract, so should I be able to ask nicely and get it swapped, as the lock isnt really working? Or is it just tough luck? Thanks. Lesson to be learnt - touch screen may look cool in Minority Report etc, but not good in real life Stick with buttons!!!
  2. My bike manual says that bump starting that might damage the cat with fuel, but I done it anyway, as polluting the enviroment is better than walking Probably same thing with new cars!
  3. Wheres the other video of that dragtimes.info gone? I'm pretty sure a couple of days ago I watched the full vid of the GTR and Veyron on the roads, now I can't find it. Or is it posted somewhere else? edit-found it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgm2t6o6LZ8 mental
  4. Checked out his profile pics, that looks like the one! I'm keeping my eye open for other zeds in the area, havent seen that many though. I'm around Norwich a fair bit so will keep my eye out for your car
  5. Saw a black zed with aftermarket alloys up the front, looked smart What alloys were they, didnt get a good look as my car windows were all steamed up!
  6. Does anyone know of any mainstream national companies that will take your old car batteries off you for the lead in them. If they give you cash for them that would be a bonus too Doing some google searching, but may be some that I missed so if you know of any that would be helpful. Got a few in the garage I could do with shifting, need the space! Cheers
  7. As motoring in general is pretty expensive, I wonder how it would compare to something like, say, a 1.6 focus. I reckon the difference may not be that significant, the gap between cost of "focus compared against no car ownership" would be more than "350z compared to focus ownership", if that makes sense.
  8. Tax disc holder arrived very quickly and looks great! Highly recommended
  9. Do you need XBOX gold membership to download skins and stuff? Seen some nice pictures of rally replicas and stuff that im not skilled enough to create Where I use my xbox i have no internet access, but if i can download stuff without subscribing I could bring my xbox here and see if I could download some stuff Oh and thanks to Forza3 having all the nismo kit on it and the rays/volks I also have made a replica of my own car. Unfortunately im slow driving it as i dont like to see it damaged Any other car I own is fair game to ram other off track though
  10. Saw this on my mate's brother's birthday card today. If that aint inspirational I don't know what is!
  11. I have the factory Nismo kit with rays and standard suspension. Never had a problem with speed bumps, just dont park too close to curbs front on, otherwise you could scrape the underneath of it (or just plough into it if its a rediculously high one ) Kurt

  14. Thanks for the warm welcome people, definately glad I made the choice to get one I will apologise now, I usually only have access to the interweb on weekends as I work away from home during the week, so might not be able to reply to stuff quickly! Harman - Will keep an eye out for your car when out and about TimGSXR - Thats a cool sig pic thing you got! What GSXR you got? I got a K4 Gixer 6
  15. Hi mate, I ended up getting some touch up paint from a Nissan dealer (under a fiver - bargain!) Seems to have done the job well (aint got any photos tho), and got paint left to touch up other chips if I need to As its from Nissan the colour match is spot on What colour 350 you got? I'll keep an eye out for it Kurt
  16. Hi, After an accident along a motorway, the smashed up car was at the side of the road, and traffic was driving past about 40mph-ish. There must have been some debris in the road as it flew up and hit my car, and done this (photos in a second!) I've ordered some touch up paint, but I'm unsure if this will do the job. . I was also worried about it rusting (happened Wednesday evening). I don't really know a lot about paintwork, so any advice would be helpful please. As its a Sunday won't be able to get it looked at by a specialist till end next week. Do you think touch up paint will be enough? Can I try it and if it looks naff, get it done properly? Cheers By the way, excuse the filth of the car. It was gleaming 40 miles ago, thats british weather for you EDIT - by the way I was no way involved in this accident, just driving past it with the traffic, to clear things up
  17. Hi people, For my sob story - was driving along a motorway couple of days back and there had been an accident (authorities were there and traffic was still moving). Was doing about 40mph when some debris flew up and damaged the lower part of my driver door (on the line where the door shape creases inwards. Left a scratch about 5cm long about 3mm wide down to the metal. I have ordered some touch up paint to first see if I can tidy it up before considering getting it done professionally. Hoping it wont be very noticable after touching up as it is below that line of the door. Just worried about corrosion-what material are the doors? I've heard parts of the 350 are aluminium, just wanted to check. Cheers
  18. google is your friend Looks tidy, reckon it would look lots better without them stickers on it though! That sva looks like it has random shapes glued to the side and the roof of the car
  19. Anyone know what this car is? Would like to find some more photos of it! Also anyone seen a white 350 with a nismo kit? Haven't seen any white 350s in the flesh yet
  20. I'll keep an eye out for you, I'm in and around Norwich a fair bit! Hmm thats a good point, I think i got an account with them somewhere, gonna have to dig it out Kurt
