  1. To the OP, you can only offer what you've saved + what the mortgage company will loan you. But there are some chancers out there. Bare in mind record low interest rates, with some commentators forecasting significant rises in interest. Citing that its needed to cool the market down, especially in the south (baffles me how any normal working person can afford housing in the superheated housing market down there). As for 'it's now worth £ insert random number, more in a short period, that's all relative to where you live, everything else around about has also shot up by similar amounts. My sisters both have houses in Ealing, both were bought for a five figure sum, both are now property millionaires, but to move to similar properties, they'd need to hand over all that 'profit' for the new property. To move to a better area, they'd need to fork out more. Anyway, all my sympathies lie with young people/couples trying to get a foot on the ladder, it's bloody hard. Good luck to the OP
  2. Yeah, if the top part was leather it'd be near identical, a bit chunkier and the flat bottom, are the main differences. The stock steering wheel has a, well, cheapo feel and look. Mucho happier now
  3. Asda wash n wax mixed with a little Ultimate Snow Foam, no sealant
  4. It looks like you've got more than Bailey there . Instant love
  5. As promised, GT350R steering wheel, a lot chunkier and smaller diameter with a flat base, really nice feel to it and very reminiscent of my Nismo wheel Also gave her a clean This is the next mod, MGW X Spec short shifter
  6. Just waiting to savage the budgie I'm holding
  7. Mad as a box of frogs these two, just refamiliarised myself with this photo
  8. Yeah GLWTS, had a nice moment with another Juke Nismo owner a couple of years ago, on my way south on the M6, the young girl driving kept catching up to be side by side with my Nismo and seemed quite exited that there was another Nismo on the road Love the Juke
  9. I can agree with this,bought my 370gt edition at this dealer,and can only praise their level of service. I concur, I bought my Nismo from them, an exceptional dealership and, willing to go the extra mile and offer a good deal.

    But a forum that has a very very small number of owners who buy new and they are the ones who influence the market, not the person looking to buy a 10 year old car Which is my point, back to a more basic ethos, together with the fact that car forums are full of people who are more interested in cars than the general public. Nothing to do with buying new or not. The original post happens to be about a new car though.
  11. £88k!! Woeful hp and torque. If you want to stay 'Japland', it would have to be a GTR for that price, or a well sorted +++ Porsche Cayman/911. However have to agree on the styling that they've stuck to
  12. 5% pay rise is better than a bonus, that's a lifetime bonus re pension etc.

    You mean like the raging success the gt86 was? The generally motoring market couldnt care less about manual/na/rwd Agreed, they couldn't, however the OP has posted on a forum to people who do
  14. Fitted the GT350R steering wheel last week, its very reminiscent to the 370Z Nismo wheel, Alcantara and leather with the red 'sighting' top centre piece. Not cheap, that's more to do with the $ v £ though. I'll get a pic up as soon as is convenient. This V8 Mustang gets better and better, probably going to get a Lund tune before my trip to Provence later this year, plan to do a bit of AB roads on the way back, so limiter removed with the Lund Edit even further: MPSS first

    Yes that does look nice, there'll be a price to pay for that niceness, not something we could all afford though, or be truly mass produced.

    Who wouldn't not as exited as the person who actually mentioned it If you mean me, I wasn't excited at all. But please, go back to making yourself feel better about yourself. Let it go man Stop bringing it up then Just like Basil said, 'you started it' Do you proof read your own posts?

    So my statement still stands?
  21. The suspension, that's all. Check it on Wiki compared to a GT. (PS, I've owned both) Edit: tracking, wheel base, remap, extra torque, extra BHP, GTR brake lines, much desired body kit (check out the owners who've fitted the Nismo kit to a gt), and Mk1, non leather, track friendly seats. Plus the extra strut brace strengthening. And no need to fit Nismo badges, they come as standard Plus, post #87 if your considering buying or modifying any new purchase on a Mk1 http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/105638-stang-thread/page__st__80 PM me if you require any further info

    Yeah whatever, so original However, it's a discussion re a new Z, something you'll probably never own.

    Having scratched the V8 itch, it's more about the occasion, sorry Zedders, but for the money, Ford are peeing all over any mass producer ATM. No innovation since the GTR, some nice dress ups of old models and all that. Infiniti are without a doubt, a quality fit and finish, but my God, they're boring to the N'th degree. What's required is a back to basics ethos.
