The G Man

South and North Lanarkshire council have failed again to put any of the millions of tons of salt on any of their roads, useless, feckless and utterly abysmal. Haven't seen a gritter all day, and they aren't clearing the motorways either, never mind the MAIN routes through towns. Fail, fail, fail! If no one can get to work you cretinous arseholes, then we can't pay your wages Get round the feckin schemes, bunch of throbbers, same year on year Absolute disgrace

my dog just went mental at that

Ellie would still have a go, typical Terrrier, thinks she's the size of a house

He's gonna be HUGE My Patterdale could do him though

Not all dealers are a nightmare, my plate was switched from my old car to my new one and the original on my old car reinstated, all sorted out by the dealer with no fuss or drama. Try Demon Plates, you will have to send off or scan and email your licence and/or passport (proof of id) and your V5 (proof of ownership), this is the legislative demand and not the online plate makers.

Yup, looking at the thread with the Stillen mods and dyno results is interesting. Ideally I'll have something done by then but I don't think that it will be imperative to give him a good thrashing Has no one had the electronic limiter removed then? Or has Nissan made this an expensive and prohibitive process? The links above to the Merkin site is all 350 related but still makes interesting, although complicated reading, for me anyway

Vicky, no probs Lot's of practice is good Oh and the M90 Neil, would that be Hamilton Rd duel carriagway? What I need though is facts, cold hard facts to bust his ass and put his gas at a peep

Mibees Done Knockers a few times in my Rex Got a "Help for Heroes" track day at RAF Valley in Wales next year and the 370 is up against the RS, both on the circuit and the main runway, fastest speed on the main runway to be ajudicated by the RAF Police with their radar guns . There may be a thread going up for this, depends on the take up and, no I can't get you invites to Wills and Kate's wedding . I don't think it'll be a problem on either the circuit or the "drag race" to beat it as I know the RS drivers capability and mine but I don't know at the mo whether we'll run out of runway before I hit 155 and can safely brake, or he can hit his reputed 163, doubt any of us will get very close. What I do know is, he's doin' my fechin head in with his shopping trolley stats

Ok we know that the 370 is electronically limited to 155mph, apparantly, not having tested this capability. But does anyone know of the true top speed and if so, can you back it up with any solid, attributable evidence? Having a bit of a top trumps discussion with a Focus RS300 owner, which has an apparant top speed is 163, and is not limited, that's it!

You'll still watch it though Don't think it's a Beeb site

Get your name on the Scottish Zeds thread, but don't add any chit chat or you'll be moderated by The Jayster

Don't know if this is the right place, here goes anyway Enjoy jeremy clarkson the italian job

Feel for you, within a day of fitting my first, aherm, "mod", Z dustcaps , they were gone Hope you get it fixed with little hassle

My 370 goes in on Monday for the bonnet to be re-sprayed, due to a manufacturing fault( a few spots of dust that was sprayed over at the factory) and a mark on the roof due IMO, to an over zealous valeter on prep before I picked the car up. I'm still struggling as to whether I let the dealer loose on the paintwork, do they have the facility and knowhow to repair this "self healing" paint?, will the paint match be perfect? (I'm expecting it to be), if it's not, how much hassle will I go through to get it right? etc etc etc. These niggles are borne of the fact that I identified these problems within the first two weeks of ownership (amazing what you can discover by detailing your car), along with a busted B Pillar trim external. The dealership in question took the relevant photos and apparantly sent them of to Nissan for Warranty approval, they also ordered the B Pillar part. I heard nothing, nada, zilch from them until one day they called out the blue with "Does your pillar trim have a light?", no says I it's an external part, "Oh, we've ordered the wrong part", "Have you approval from Nissan re the paintwork issue?" I asked, "What paintwork issue?"!!!WTF!! So as you can see I'm not overly confident on this with this dealership! It's actually putting me off the car! What, sometimes, should be a simple piece of customer PR, "yes sir, no problem sir, we'll fix that", turns into a major drama and can destroy your faith in a mark. I've had it with Mazda, Seat and BMW as well, with varying degrees of contempt, but I would say, for every unhappy customer, there'll be thousands of satisfied ones. I also agree that on other car forums, there is varying degrees of "moderation" and on others, like this one, it's fairly open. Sometimes owners of "new" cars join these forums because they have a problem, and invariably a whole lot of threads are started, that to an "outsider", would make it seem that, the particular mark is riddled with trouble. Anyway, my tuppence worth and the Jury is still out at the moment on the Nissan dealership that I've bought from.

Noooooooooooooooo! I'm getting one first, there can only be one in Scotland Hoping at least 4 numbers and the 2 stars come up tonight first

nice seats mate

Seats?

Don't know what the colour is called , same as in the logo up there ^^^, I was in the Ebisu 370 By the time I flapped at seeing you, I was waving to thin air

+1, no contact from them either, however I'll wait and see what happens over the next wee whiley

Great to see, hope they crack 3 secs

Spotted today @ 1320, you were heading towards M74 as I was heading into Larkhall

Here's a photo or two

Avoiding tolls and motorways its around 1350 miles, from Zeebruge to Malaga, according to google maps, 1day 13hrs driving, break that up into 6hr stints, and believe me you will want to, fire in the need to find lunch BEFORE 2pm in France, they all shut after this time, and you're looking at a 6/7day trip Can be done a lot quicker but not as a leisurely drive, m/way crunching all the way.

If you do go through France, keep to the National routes, Route De Mans is a good route south, if you wanted a REALLY leisurely drive through France then the Route Napoleon and the Gorge du Verdun is a must, you will be a million trillion miles from Spain though The Millau area is a nice place to tour, lots of lovely little villages and of course the bridge, it was 16 Euros last year, one way, although that is also for a fair stretch of motorway as well. Top tip, on toll roads, use your credit card, we seemed to not get charged too many times this year, electronics and the French don't mix If you do get to Malaga, head for Ronda, head north at Marbella, beautiful and challenging drive and Ronda won't dissapoint

Psst, Linda wants a novice/tuition day at Knockers, would like to surprise her as part of her birthday in January, sorry topic drift Oh and yeah, why didn't you kill the custard imposter
