  1. Certain areas never counted towards post count from day 1, we just added a few more due to the levels of spam we often see to bump posts to 100 to use the forum as a place to sell your car FoC.
  2. Jesus mate hope you are better soon. Have had three NHS moments over the last year or so, most recently cracked ribs, little Alfie getting bad fever in the middle of the night and a knee injury I got - each time the NHS were great, I guess it's a bit hit and miss sometimes. But yes agree get that private care in asap! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Posting in certain areas of the forum doesn't increase post count. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Basilico 5 Meats Pizza, a 500ml bottle of Pale Ale and a Magnum FTW - although have to say yours looks top notch!
  5. So back on topic, I genuinely think from your description what you would like is either the Cobra or Miltek with HFCs (if you don't mind rasp)
  6. So, would just progressing your project and thanking people for their time whether you agreed with them or not, rather than setting about disproving people who had genuinely inputted into it, have made the outcome more favourable to both yourself and those posting? Its not a question I want answered just one that should perhaps be considered. I am not going to get into a tit for tat on this - only as someone observing that thread and some others that also were contentious neither 'group' were an innocent party, there was no morale high ground to be held. That's all I am really going to offer on this subject really, its a busy life as a mod on here
  7. Wrong. Wait.....you spend all week moaning that people aren't giving suitable explanations and then you simply post a one word answer without backing it up? (I'm not saying you are incorrect by the way). Just finding you a little bit of a hypocrite. Not much point when my opinion is disregarded due to my age / experience, but if you insist, here's a load of other people confirming my point. https://forums.nasio...d.php?t=1358781 Right, I am going to be quite frank here but do take it in the right way. There are members on here that are younger than you and have less experience but appear to not be 'disregarded' as you put it - why do you think that is? If every young owner on here was bullied or put down on their opinions then I would agree with you, additionally I wouldn't stand for it either and would be PM'ing them with some warnings/bans pronto. But that certainly hasn't been the case since I joined a fair few years ago now. I read the original exhaust mod, despite people who have owned many performance cars over many decades giving honest opinion (note its opinion, not fact, but in the absence of fact that's what you have to live with...) you pushed it back at them in quite a condescending manner and it got progressively worse for all involved from there. Clearly you like chatting on the forum, you are keen to try stuff, but you need to get this chip off your shoulder about thinking people are out to prove you wrong because you are young/inexperienced. Its not a competition as to 'who is the smartest' on here - its about us all enjoying our cars and making the most of them.
  8. Its all here under the Media/Photo section http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/103493-how-to-add-your-photos-to-the-forum/
  9. It is technicalities like this that you should use to your advantage. For instance I remember something about a bedroom not being officially a bedroom if it doesn't have a window (only has a skylight).
  10. Our survey flagged the house had stairs, which a child could fall down... ...also that it had a garden that a child could get rained on. Astonishing in this day and age the process is so long, overpriced, convoluted when the rest of the world has moved on.

    Wanli tyres

    Same here - when I bought the Celica from a car enthusiast it had really poor budgets on, but given he did on average 200 miles a year in it (he owned 10+ other cars) he didnt see the point in slinging £1k worth of rubber on it. Having owned the car for nearly 2 years now I can say that to date (touch wood!) the car has been pretty much faultless and clearly very well looked after prior to my ownership.
  12. OK, if its a £1m used Ferrari bought with some finance involved which will be worth £50m in 25 years time - the system is the same. Hell people pay for stuff worth millions in an auction and walk away with it as an owner, houses included. What we found when we sold a place last year was that the total time required to sell/buy a house is probably no more than two days work, however solicitors juggle hundreds of clients at one time, so you have a two-three week lead time on them to simply answer an email and the whole process drags out - we had to call both of them on a conference call because it was getting something like this: Solicitor one: Did you receive the offer to renovate the roof prior to purchase Solicitor two (two weeks later): Yes, but what about clause 2, can we change that? Solicitor one (one week later): Yes, what do you want to change it to ...and so on My brother bought an empty house last year, took a matter of weeks to buy, check over, pay the deposit, secure the loan and move in. I found things take ages because of too many people in the process who take too long to do things who take too much money to do something relatively easy. Sorry if that offends any estate agents on here!
  13. Does make you laugh that you can walk into a car showroom and drive out 30 minutes later with a £250k car, but it takes months to buy a £150k house.
  14. Wondered when some of the others would put in an appearance on the main show...
  15. Loving it, wow. Shame you didn't make the move on it this time last year you would have saved a few grand in exchange rates But agree with the above, I see modern Mustangs all the time, they are relatively cheap to buy and the smaller engine version makes it cheaper to run. This though is a head turner on a whole different scale.

    Thoughts?

    Its hard to really hear the note - you are restricted by the quality of the device capturing it as always. Also as above you need to hear it under load to get an idea of what its like to live with day to day (as you will be moving most of the time?) - however having sat and listened to it side by side to some you tube videos of cars static with Cobra and Ark exhausts it does sound like a blowing exhaust I am afraid with none of the qualities of a properly built aftermarket option.
  17. Back in the day when you could buy a rally car pretty much on spec and drive it on the road...
  18. Welcome along - I do regularly cast an eye across at MX5s for sale just to see what mental missile someone has built and has put up for sale. Fantastically adaptable cars.
  19. I think they will gel once they get the three of them on a few trips taking three XYZ types of cars and getting some banter going over the radios. Then it becomes harder to notice the scripting from the banter - old TG was also also highly scripted, we just didnt see it so easily. I still feel unfortunately MLB holds it back a bit he is an actor and doesn't seem capable of the banter.
  20. Yes Harris is bang on the money - better than the other two - I think the problem with MLB is that he isn't really a petrolhead, he doesn't seem as interested in cars as the other two.
  21. I think if you toned down Chris a bit who could have worked, but he was too over excited all the time and seemed to talk to the others like they were inferiors on the show rather than peers. Worth having him in S1 to see him vomit though...
  22. Gelling well indeed - miles better. That Alfa! And it worked better with the celeb as well.
