I can see PH's point that there are so many adverts they can't trawl them all but I think its irresponsible for them to take payment from people to put genuine cars on there and not do anything but shrug their shoulders and push the issue of fraud happening on their site back to the customer to sort out and report. Surely they could easily have an algorithm that works out each of their car categories average price and if an advert is x% lower then its given a red flag for someone there to check out.

Series 3 Episode 11 ...and bizarrely this was on top of the hayward gallery on the south side of waterloo bridge the other day - some sort of cold war exhibit by all accounts...

In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was 26, On 350z-uk.com he was 19. On 350z-uk.com the combat soldier typically served a twelve month tour of duty, but was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday. None of them received a hero's welcome nun-nun-nun nineteen!

EPIC EPIC EPIC

These scams are all over Pistonheads at the moment, private sales for around the £4200 mark (for cars worth at least double that) with what looks like a geunine advert where someone has a load of detail written down about the car. However it is usually a copy paste job from other car adverts recently sold.

...relax pal, we are just winding you up

New sig for me then... "39 year old with no car to speak of at the moment with no wheels, no exhaust, no offsets, no wheel widths and the only stickers I have are cartoon ones I get stuck to my face by my 3 year old son"

Why not, I am proud to not be driving in a fiesta or corsa like everyone else my age. ! I was actually proud to be driving a fiesta at 19 as I had a budget of £300 for a car and happy I cut my teeth learning in a car suited to my (in hindsight) rather limited driving ability at that age - nothing wrong with that Also meant I could experiment with cheap parts on a car worth not a lot of money and learn how to work on it and not rely on paying labour costs for the last 20 years to garages. And I didnt have the internet to look everything up I was also proud to be driving my 1999 saab 9-3 2.2 tid at 17, learnt a lot with it and wanted something completely out of the ordinary to replace it. Saved my money over the year as it was the cheapest years motoring I will probably ever have. (did not have a single problem with the Saab, and filled it once a month!) I know in say 10 years time I will look back and regret it, but right now I am young, I am lucky enough to be able to afford the zed at a young age and probably won't have the opportunity to own such a car ten years down the line, could say I am getting it out of my system, perhaps the zed will be followed by sensible cars........ I apologise to those of you who see my signature as me boasting, it is not meant to come across that way... Exactly my way of thinking. Had a Fiesta ST at 18 now bought my Zed at 19. Thought that in a few years I'll probably be in a position where I'd need more than two seats, so why not get my dream car whilst I still can. Mikey Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think it actually works the other way around lol cheap cars with 4 seats so you can drive your mates when young then when you have amid life crisis you go buying daft 2 seater sports cars and pay peanuts on the insurance!

Didnt stop me with my pedestrian style of driving easily gunning it when I needed to past pretty much everything else

I still think you end up back at a VX220 BHP (per tonne) is pretty good, the car is very quick in a straight line but get to the twisty's and you will just drive away from most things on the road

Seriously, thats why you want it to beat 5.x seconds which on paper is what your mates cars do? Not being funny but not everyone is made the same, I am sure Brillo in a Focus ST would 'beat' me in a Porsche 911 because I am crap at driving fast and he goes track driving ten times a year!

VX220 turbo (or supercharged NA) would be a very quick car if you are concerned about numbers off the line. My bog standard NA with 150bhp was quicker off the line than my remapped Zed.

As above, I wouldn't bother too much looking at 0-60 times advertised on autotrader etc. and comparing across cars when you are talking tenths of a second. Sit there with a stop watch and try time 3/10ths of a second yourself and you will see how little time it is and imagine a car doing 60mph the difference is so minimal its just not worth buying one car over another simply because it on paper edges it by a couple of tenths. I would go out, drive both, and buy what grabs you - if you got in a 350z and couldnt stand the interior, the seats or the tape deck(!) would a couple of tenths of a second on paper matter that much compared to a 645Ci? Assuming you are not drag racing of course, if this is just for the road...

Could have cleaned the car on arrival

Four doors...

Yes I did the Camp Nou tour, was very good. Oh and they were champions league holders at the time, had my photo taken with the cup, then lost the photo! (you have to buy it from an official photographer)

Been to both, prefer Rome out of the two. Just felt more 'immense' if you know what I mean - it blew me away. Barcelona is a cool place too, but didnt quite blow me away in the same way Rome did. Mind you, Barcelona does have a beach! We were quite lucky in Rome, staying near the Vatican, got up one morning, wandered down there, went into the standing area and 30 mins later we were in touching distance of the Pope as he came by in the popemobile! All very surreal!

I see a future Darwin winner here!

Fair play to the lads in the tuk tuk seemed to be taking it in good humour!

Very dubious law that haha!

I have a hoover we bought from Argos, there is a sticker on top from the manufacturer that says if something goes wrong to contact them rather than going back to the seller...

You gotta earn a silly name, they don't give them out willy-nilly! Actually though on topic, these signs where they highlight rule breaking are proven to work, more effectively, than things like speed cameras. People just slow for a speed camera then take off again as soon as they clear the lines in the road. These signs have a longitudinal effect in that they are literally telling all other road users that the driver of the car is speeding, you then find people adjust their speed down for a longer time after the sign compared to speed cameras. That said, what an utter waste of time putting this up if it actually lights up when the driver is doing nothing wrong. Defeats the whole purpose, and the fact that its potentially a decade away can't even see why this is a news story?

It is genuine Nismo though, its got a chrome badge on the back to prove it!
