  1. I drove a friends. It was ok at best. The rear and side view looks great but from the front it just looks like any other pug. The double bubble roof is cool though!
  2. Hmm, I wonder how they'll do that and at what speed??...radar gun or a roller that can be calibrated for every car and every wheel and tyre size? They used to do a speedo check (they just checked it was working) back in the day before they had rollers, it was part of the road test back then. Pete They could use a gps or sat nav Pete, or something more official.
  3. Ive had both 350z gt and now Z4. TBH both are 2 seaters and both can be had in coupe and roadster. The 350z defo is alot more spacious and comfortable compared to the z4. I would probably say the 350z is the better alround car and better as an everyday drive. But as i had bought a brand new 320i sport plus which cost the earth, i would have lost a fortune trading it in so new for a 350Z. But i got a great trade in against the Z4 from bmw. So i'll probably drive the Z4 for a year or so then sell it private and buy another 350Z. BMW ended up giving me £3700 more trade in than anywhere else offered me, so i can take a lose on the Z4 when the time comes to sell it. Also the Z4 has always been on my list anyway. The only negative about the 350Z is the rad tax and fuel consumption which i have halved with the Z4 but as someone will point out im sure, ive lost a fair wake of performance. But i dont care because im as happy as a pig in @*!# just now! Don't blame you then if you got a good trade in. Few things are more painful than losing a shedload more than you imagined when selling a car (I should know). Half the running costs?! Starting to wish I'd got one instead, might not have had to sell it. OK, maybe not as quick in a straight line, but round the corners, nowt in it I'd wager, and I doubt it has half the performance either, it'll probably only be a tad slower particularly to 60. TBH, there's not much in it 0-60 etc but the 350z felt more powerful. The Z4 feels more grounded, maybe because its a smaller car. Also there's not much in the dealers servicing costs etc. suppose its just down to what you want. The new Z4 now comes in a 20i, dont think its slow, because its a twin scrol turbo. This boosts performance but also returns 38 mpg and road tax is £100ish per year. Also its a hard top convertible. Its also available as a 28i with same 2.0l engine but tunned better and there's the 35i and 35is which are animals.
  4. Do you think i could plastidip my garage's metal door?
  5. Cheers mate, is it ok to wash it with AG car shampoo just now?
  6. Thanks for the reply Neil. I use loads of AG products so i'll have a look at that. Is it just a case of cleaning and protecting in 2 steps?
  7. Aye, you've already said that on my other post. So less of the pish patter and tell me how to clean the roof, lol!
  8. Just picked up my Z4 yesterday. The soft top is in excellent condition and i'm looking for some advice on how to keep it that way. Whats the best products to wash it with and seal etc? Thanks Stu.
  9. I'll get some up mate ASAP. I tried with my samsung S3 but files are to big to upload. I'll need to find out about photobucket or something.

  11. Picked up my new car today and so far is great!
  12. No harm in looking mate, you never know!!!
  13. Cant believe you actually managed 10 min. I can only focus on what my wife's saying for about 3 MAX!!

    Shocked!

    Iron x is pretty cool, removes contamination from atmospheric fall out. Some of this fall out can be statically attracted to you cars body work, therefore all you do when you wash your car is move it about, i.e. iron fall out from railway tracks etc. iron x dissolves these particles and you simply rinse it off. It turns the particles purple!
  15. C'mon! I'm waiting on a barrage of images as i'm the only name on the list! Lol.
  16. Just an idea, but ive got a mental picture of how other forum member's look. I think it would be a bit of harmless fun to post images of what everyone thinks each other look like. But nothing to offensive and anyone who's game for it has to list there name below! P.s. if you post an image of someone then your also fair game! 1) Stuarty.
  17. Ordered! Do you have to login and order every month or do they automatically debit your card and send it every month? Also do you get the discount every month or is it a one off?
  18. That's not king size in florida, its just to single beds for the fat yanks, lol.
  19. A remapped 335d has more torque than a m5! But lacks the allure. I just hate the way diesels pull you up to a certain speed in a certain gear. I hate driving 2 gears lower than what i want to be in. Nothing nicer than sitting in 5th gear doing 30mph and not having to change down to take a round about. My 123d that i had in 2009 would pull me up to 40mph in 5th gear withoit using the gas pedal! Hated it because of that.
  20. I pay over £700 for a 2 bed wee shity flat Luckily I earn about the same as the entire population of Dundee That's about £70 a week then! Yeah but luckily I dont spend £50 of it on tabs, booze & scratchcards Not much else to do with your cash in Dundee then!
