If it stays dry at Monaco then it's almost always a boring race. It's almost impossible to overtake a car that's 3 seconds a lap slower and zero chance of overtaking a car on a similar pace. Circuit has no place in the 21st century IMHO.

I used this for a quick clean on the Sunday morning of the recent Wales Run, not bad at all really . Have to say though that the car had only been thoroughly washed on the Friday, I wouldn't risk it if it was really dirty.

If the sun is shining then you can't beat The Llyn peninsular in North Wales, beautiful scenery, quiet roads and some of the best and quietest beaches in Europe. It's kinda like Cornwall without the crowds really
The best beach I've ever seen and rated the second best beach in Europe.

Well, a quick calculation, about 390bhp to knock a second off the 0-60 mark on a coupe, probably another 10-15bhp on a roadster. Not sure if the standard internals will take that though

What a great weekend, thoroughly enjoyed it . I'll echo the other comments on the superb organisation so thanks to Colin, Chris, Graham and Will who made sure that the entire weekend ran smoothly. It was good not only to meet some old friends but to make some new ones as well and a special mention for Sarah (Squee) and Ian (I4N) who took the time to pop up and meet us at The Moreton on Saturday afternoon.
All I can say now is roll on 2013

Main dealer service costs vary from area to area but for a major service, a P3, it'll cost you from around £250 to £400+. The intermediate services, P1 and P2, will obviously be cheaper, I think I paid £150 or so.

There's a campaign to reduce the speed limit on this stretch of road following a few fatal accidents. This road is not covered by any North Wales "Arrive Alive" camera vans so I'm presuming that its some sort of dummy van, possibly placed there by one of the locals to frighten people into slowing down.

The first time was actually an advert on the T.V. It must have been later than April 2003 as I remember kicking myself for buying a Celica T-Sport .

I believe that the vast majority of 313's sold in The U.K were GT's. I was told by a dealer that non GT's had to be ordered while GT's were pretty well readily available back in 2007. I guess Nissan were cashing in by selling fully loaded cars as many of The 313's also had factory fitted SatNavs a £1,000 plus option at that time.
