  1. Which on the whole is correct, if it’s not up to it’s peers at similar price, who would go near it. It doesn’t stop you from being interested in it though. The point being, on here, WE are interested in the Z heritage. Also, it’s coming, that should be scope enough for being positive about it, if it turns out cack, then stay away, simple formula there. No one is advocating in the slightest running to the nearest dealer with a big bag of money and immediately throwing it down on one blind, I must have missed that on all the threads re this subject. What I didn’t miss was the negativity to this car, from the ones who said it would never happen, after it happened Oh, Nissan posted profits down 10%, so it may be delayed
  2. Yeah that would be a feat. In 2015/16 Ford did just that, muscular drivers car, option of two transmissions, very interesting engine for 35k. The downside, if it can be described as that, is, the next manifestation will be hybrid. That’s what I believe Nissan will do with the next gen Z, I’d say it’s almost a certainty. who knows, but the naysayers on a new Z were wrong, as has been said, it’s hilarious to read back on the threads to those purporting that there would be no new Z. Whatever it is, it’ll be interesting and provoke interest, positive and negative. How can anyone on this community not be enthusiastic at the prospect of a new Z? Comments like, ‘I’ll never buy one’, who cares, we have no idea what it is, but we know now that it is on the way, looking forward to it arriving
  3. That’s reassuring, I’m sure, if only we’d done that from the start of the pandemic
  4. Exactly, hopefully no embarrassing non Covid complying ones
  5. The ratio would suggest not, however I’d balk at 265 on the fronts, especially 305 on the rear, I don’t see an advantage over stock sizes. I’m sure I’ve seen 285 35 on PS4s?
  6. ......and wear a ‘kin mask/face covering. Out of interest, what is the current government rules?
  7. The RX8, pound for pound, was the most usable car I’ve ever had, with the caveat, only on flat type roads. On the Stelvio Pass, it was sh1te. A MX5 is on my radar, but, again, with the caveat that it’s a fun, useable type car, but totally impractical as a GT. Both my 370’s we’re competent GT’s but the compromise was not a car you would GT in. Mustang, torque, proper GT, comfortable and uncomplicated, would be my choice over the previous. Looking for a F type or similar for a 3rd car but only in convertible mode, more for enjoying the dry weather. wouldnt contemplate a ‘classic’, as too unreliable, not a Euro tourer and mostly, uncomfortable
  8. I wouldn’t go to you, you seem angry, and you’re too far away, good luck with the charm offensive though. ive nothing bad to say about your company or any individual employed by you. We know things are tough, but I’m not sure this type of post on an open forum will help. ’Always end on a high’ (an old MOI technique), I’ve only ever heard congratulatory posts about your company and the work you do, by many ‘senior’ type admins, mods, members etc..
  9. See here for exemptions https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk/paying-vat-and-duty
  10. Every day is a MLC, you’ll be driving a V8 soon enough, with 4 seats Enjoy yer new toy
  11. HNew Mach 1 Epic sounding
  12. *it’s* Great car, much better than a 350, in so many ways. Awaits the usual suspects........
  13. I’ve had the front wings, bonnet, whole front bumper done recently, £2K. A whole car?, expect £5k. Pick your shop wisely, one that will pay attention to detail. Good luck
  14. So, wasn’t far off with my price guesstimate, 2 trims available for U.K. market, starting at £81,700

    I’ll have a sniff around when the order book opens, mibees they’ll do a Champions League type launch . Stang stays tho, more fun than a funnery Been toying with a MX5 for ages, bit this might meet the need for another 2 seater

    400z

    Might gie it a go
  17. It’ll never make it through that gap Hugh...............
  18. If you’ve never heard of Janey Godley, get a taste here
  19. Hertz selling off their fleet of Z06’s https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/a32585545/hertz-corvette-z06-for-sale/ Grab a bargain
  20. Just been watching the complete covidiots that have been travelling 50+ miles to, essentially, go for a walk and, “feed the ducks”. Without cognisance to where they are going to sh1t or p1ss, as most, if not all, public conveniences are closed, unable to wash their hands, without face coverings and with little thought to the communities where they are going. Ignorant bastarts at best, culpable knuts at worse. Stay local ffs, don’t be a f’kin drain on resources, at best, or a spreader at the other end of the scale. The level of selfishness is jaw dropping.
  21. DFDS did this with my payments. Deposit paid first followed by the balance a few days later. Random and arbitrary amounts of money withheld is utterly unacceptable and should be accompanied by an explanation, so it can be challenged.
