The G Man

Plymouth/Portsmouth to Santander, head east to Lekeito, overnight, head south to Ainsa, then onto Barcelona and Malga if you must. Millau is way out your way and is in France Alternative drive and not bump into any Brits, head west from Santander, to A'Caruna(great beach and fish resturaunts) along the coast, stay there for a fewv days and visit Santiago de Compestela, THE most beautiful city I've visited in Spain and a bonus that Portugal is only a few hours away Head back via Leon and Pamplona, I've got lots of routes for Spain, PM me for more info Oh did 4.5k this year and just under 4k last year , not all in spain but about 1.5k both years

I ran an 8 for 4 years and you're so right, once the "wow" factor went for the ones that only saw a pretty motor, then reality bit. I do think, however that the Z range carries the confidence of having a conventional engine, rotaries are scary to the uneducated. This is why the residuals on the 350 are still pretty good, the 8 is suffering and they are becoming hard to sell, that coupled with the fuel consumption of a Ferrari is not good. If Nissan make a new Z in a few years, I believe it will be similar in power and size, may well be a hybrid as a few custom marks, ie Lotus, are going down this road.

Do you do a version for the 370? Would be 1st thing on my "to do" list.

Hope this one doesn't make it , looks like that awful Lexus coupe thingy The make or break in Europe will be the emission restrictions, I think a V8 is very unlikely

Just remember to take your poppies off after Sunday, short sharp reminder, that's what it's designed for. The pop at the muslims is unfounded, a minority of misguided individuals is not what reprisents a cognisive or indeed a persuasive argument, the same as the malcontents at Celtic park on Saturday. Let's not let this thread degenerate into a rant. God bless all who sacrificed their lives so we can say what we want on places such as this. WO1 Kelly RE (clue)

^^ , will be later with a nice little red, then I can rant at the telly when Question Time is on, oh mid life bliss

I also reverted back to PAYG, Tesco do a nice little deal, they treble any credit you put on it, so every couple of months, bung £20 on it then this lasts for donkeys. Not one to make a call for the sake of it, or txt for that matter, but it is a cheap way to have a phone. In saying all that, I was considering going back to a contract to get a new phone as my old N96 has just about had it, my three daughhters all have i phone 4's (?) and I fear that I'll have to wait too long to get one of their cast offs

Had an 8 until September, thought it time for some muscle, toyed with the R3 but Mazda missed a trick there by not updating enough and not adding a turbo or super charger Oh well RX9 in 3 years then

Well done mbs, I've just went through the warranty/Euro Assistance booklet and, I am talking through MY erse Thanks for getting the clarification on this, good piece of info that I'll be discussing with the dealer where I bought. Does anyone know then, whether the service info is collated centrally so's that if you require assistance, you don't have to argue that your car has been serviced recently. Oh, one thing the assist booklet does state, if you are on a promotional offer N928, then you get three years cover

£12.6billion profit posted this week, so they must be doing alright It's endemic of phone companies in particular and all service companies in general, but it's not all the staff's fault, at grassroots level anyway.

Lovely example there Welcome to this club, by your user name, I take it you have or have had a bad boy Rotary

First off, this site has been a revelation in as much as there isn't a lot of locking/banning/mis matched merging of posts, much less than other clubs/forums I've been a member of, so well done. What I find hard to accept is a moderator/admin/committee member locking a topic and then a moderator/admin/committee memberS continuing to post on it. The said topic, viewtopic.php?f=70&t=42912&start=15, was locked, as far as I can make out, because a similar thread was already started on the topic content. My personal opinion is that once a topic is locked, it stays locked, unless it is reopened to all members after, say, a clarification on a technical/legal/over abusive poster is resolved, not for further chit chat by those that have a moderator/admin/committee panel. Bad form, my opinion and posted here as feedback.

I'll re-read the warranty book tomorrow, but you may find that things have changed since 2009, even early 2010 (premium connect springs to mind, although that was a spec change, it was a pretty mahoosive one, also the 0% deal etc etc), they change the deal every three months. When I initially read the booklet I wasn't too surprised that I may have found this, mazda did the Assist for the three years of warranty and continued it for free if extended warranty was taken, or £10 per year if not.

Erm...., the dealer may be talking out his erse, or I've read the warranty wrong, therefore I'm talking out mine , but as I read it, it's for the duration of the 3 year warranty. That's not to say that there'll not be some kind of "extended" warranty or, that this particular dealer may be offering a "lifetime" warranty as some sort of incentive. But Nissans is 3yrs cover

Tht's two mighty fine looking cars there sir I test drove the auto box coupe, it is ultra smooth and idiot proof, believe me I would need it to be, but in the end plumped for the manual Coupe GT. I wasn't sure of the white but the more I see of them (photo's only, as they're as rare as hens teeth at the mo ), the more I like them

Yes, I wouldn't think that this was the point, just don't agree that it's "attractive" not a fan though of CF as I said but it may look better than the photo's depict. White fangs? Confused now, not hard as I am old and wine addled

Yeah, lovely quote, but, I thought the point of CF was to replace parts and weight save, got that wrong then

Can't agree with that^^, not a fan of CF, where's the weight saving there? Does that fit over the top of what's there already? If so, weight adding Am I missing the point? Each to their own though

subjective, but what's not is it's a bore of a car. AK350Z, you're not totally alone

"So you really aren't qualified to comment on the noise. Well, neither am I as I've never driven a 370!" So, well dug. Not being one to moan, but your own comment suggests that you really can't comment on whether the OP in this thread is whingeing or not. I too came from a relatively fastish car, a RX8, and my good lady has a Leon FR, now the 8 really did lack "low down" grunt (Stelvio Pass convinced me to get more "muscle"), the FR has loads of "low down" "grunt", and the 8, well the set up I had could probably out corner the 370, but couldn't put the power down on exit, whereas the 370 can and it's probably down to my "lacking" in knowing the 370 that makes me say that, for the moment. The noise issue isn't there! Trust me, as I HAVE driven a 370, on various long motorway jaunts of 250+miles or so, not too dissimilar to anything I have driven, not high end saloon quiet, granted, but would you want that?, I for one don't, not in a sports car. If you compare the "competition" and, I have, the TT and Z4 are just as noisy. The engine "growl" is, I admit, a tad disappointing, but nothing that an exhaust/intake mod won't sort for a better sound. Good car, good price and well spec'd. Not biased, just honest

If that's the correct term for a Blue 350 I was in Mrs Leon FR, how gridlocked was Hamilton today

Yup, it's a beuaty, you won't however, be dissapointed in the 370 Now get along to the mini hoon on Sunday for one last blast

Nice looking car,

Nice pics , I'm too much of a technophobe for these phones, but as my present one is on the way out, I'm gonna have to learn how to use one Just a pity it rained today
