If you type in google 'white 370z with black roof' plenty of images come up? I have a black roof on my Toyota, it works for me for a few reasons 1. hides the sunroof outline 2. make the car look more 'swooping' with the black look running all the way over with the front and rear windows 3. I have a rear sun visor and it makes it look less conspicuous

That Capri is amazing! Wow. Machine polished a few panels over the weekend due to some excessive spider web scratches that have appeared over the weekend. Bonnet looking silky smooth

Yeah Lewis battered Ruddock, then was meant to fight Bowe but Bowe bottled it and threw his belt in the bin (quite literally!)

Will be an interesting fight, one boxer not yet in his prime, one past it...

There are many worse footballers! Anyway - I really rated Lewis, when he unloaded on someone with some combos they were so fast for a heavyweight, made it so much more exciting, in a way Tyson did with his hand speed and power. Evander Holyfield was also great to watch with his 'all in' style as well. Enry's hammer anyone?

To be fair he could have done a good job!

Haha yeah too many potholes for F1...mind you might make it more interesting!

I think there is a strong element of how good the competition was as to how good a boxer was - I notice not many people mention Lennox Lewis but he was a fantastic boxer, who had barely any decent competition in his time. Whereas Ali in his era had a succession of amazing competition.

Clean, clay, machine polish, victorias concours wax and bingo...

Or the 'squarest' grand prix on the streets of Milton Keynes...

Stunning car Jay, personally I would stay as you are but each to their own when it comes to styling we all have our own tastes.

Sold - thread locked

OK good, post up as much info on codes, reports etc and the guys will give an opinion.

Did you not get a report code from the car? Usually that will tell you the issue?

I know! But its on topic, kind of

Gas and Oil is also free like wind, solar and tides, you have to pay to extract it just in the same way you have to extract and convert wind and tides - the difference is its RENEWABLE. But one thing solar, wind and tide power isn't is free as the cost to build, convert, transfer (which is a challenge for offshore wind farms where power is lost in the transfer process) and then store the power all costs money just like burning stuff. Its a common misconception about power. I have had many interesting chats about power (one of my good friends is an MD at an energy company) - the challenge for cars moving to EV at scale is the infrastructure and energy supply. Oil is non issue in terms of supplying energy to households (as it only accounts for 1% or something like that), the issue is moving cars away from petrol into using a different channel of power i.e. via the home. Of course in the UK demand over summer for energy drops as we warm up and we have a positive net use of energy, over winter we do not - we have a number of permanent energy lines into Europe where we run a deficit over the course of the year in terms of what we sell into Europe vs what we buy, if we had energy surplus this wouldn't be the case. I am pretty sure no one on here thinks coal and gas are the future of energy production, as its not renewable, but the governments provision for this is not there. They are investing in wind but turbines are massively expensive (which is why billions of tax payers money subsidises energy companies to build them) and are highly volatile in their operation. It seems a no brainer to just build a tonne of renewable energy generators but its expensive and volatile in its output.

Probably another couple of years, maybe more who knows! It ticks many boxes, its quick, 4WD, four seats, great handling, etc. There are already a small but growing waiting list of potential owners in the US joining FB pages etc which could drive up values when it hits 25 years old in 2019.

It came into the country in 2009 with that paint, it may or may not have been painted prior to that in Japan. Its had two owners prior to me, 1995 to 2009 1 owner in Japan (I have his name and address!) and one owner in the UK 2009 to 2015 (who kept the car stored indoors for the 6 years of ownership). So its possible its original but I would say more likely its had work done. Either way its was the overall condition of the car that made me buy it in the first instance when I was desperately looking for a 300zx!

I agree though, ebay shouldnt be so lazy around preventing counterfeit goods being sold on their website - annoyingly though they dont care because they earn more because of sellers on its site. It takes huge action like recently when You Tube got called out for not bothering to deal actively with extremist content on its site, only when major brands pulled out did they care.

Friday clean done, had to wait for the shadow to come across the house before doing it (nothing worse than washing/cleaning in the sun!) but looking pretty damn fine for an old girl 22 years old this year! Will give it a machine polish next week

On this I also agree, I dont have a drive, a few houses up a guy plugs his Golf into an extension cable lying on the pavement, if anyone falls over that...claim!

Babysteps...

Actually, got some offcuts left, might do the ashtray too!

Yes definitely better - I will most likely hydrodip it brushed aluminium eventually, wanted to try a few different looks first

Well I ditched the plastidip interior and braved wrapping it in brushed alu. Decided to fork out nigh on £20 for an 80x30cm proper 3M stuff and god was it easier! I had some cheap and cheerful Chinese vinyl tried with that but the intricacies of the dash parts meant it didnt stretch or adhesive well enough. This 3M stuff just stuck, shaped, stretched and got rid of bubbles so much better. Well worth the investment. Anyway, hard to see from the photo but its brushed aluminium all the way and matches the gear knob and handbrake. Also got some new extended wheel nuts in neo chrome and got some new Rota stickers for the wheels in black as the previous red ones were peeling and looking a bit worse for wear.
