  1. Could you find a standard one, even if you wanted to?!?
  2. For one, it states he was speaking at the Tokyo Motorshow in the article. However, as that article was published yesterday and the Tokyo Motorshow didn't open until today, he was either "speaking at the Tokyo Motorshow tomorrow". Or was last year (or the year before that...) Also, all he says is that it's "easy to imagine" that designers are working on it. It's a bloody long stretch to seeking to replace it with another Z car.
  3. Such is the state of "journalism" these days....
  4. Realistically you're talking hours, not days (or longer) these days. Bodyshops won't be waiting around for long before polishing back when they've resprayed a car after all. I'd only wet sand when absolutely necessary - always, always, always go with the least abrasive solution that will get the job done. Unless you have drips/orange peel/etc, I wouldn't be considering wet sanding as a matter of course. Although, that does depend on how good your painting skills are... mine are not. DAS6 is a good machine, I still use mine as I can't justify a (selection of) Rupes.
  5. He's posted in the 370Z section, so I'd guess that'd be okay....
  6. Yeah just like that. But you can't promote the use of CO2 for anything... it's evil stuff that's killing the world, remember.
  7. I think it's about 45% underground, from memory. But there are 2 lines that are completely underground; Waterloo & City and Victoria line. The latter has suspended service several times due to the weather... These, and other exciting TfL facts, were brought to you by someone who does not always enjoy his job.
  8. And anything built since the 90’s seem to forget how large current cars are, so none of the parking spaces are big enough for anything to fit in anyway! There’s an obvious and very simple solution of course... ...simply devise a fuel source that is actually accessible, practical and environmentally friendly. How hard can that be??
  9. Oh well in that case you’ll definitely need to “punish” yourself with a Flex or a Rupes. It’s the only way you’ll learn...
  10. Or, you know... charging wherever you actually park becomes an option. Just as an alternative to cars driving themselves around looking for electricity. On a different note, I almost admire the complete ignorance of the cradle-to-grave impact of electric cars on the environment and the sheer nonsensical hyperbole of “green, innit”. Almost.
  11. S20 should be fine, so long as you're not too heavy handed with the sanding. If you are too heavy handed, S20 will still get fine sanding out but it may just take a little longer. I wouldn't go any heavier than you need to, but if you do find you need more cut the usual method of minor, progressive increases applies: i.e. don't immediately reach for the heaviest compound/pad you can! There is probably always a "better" option, but S20 on medium pad, down to S20 on a fine pad and then (if you actually need to) S30 on a fine pad to finish should be plenty. To be honest, S20 finishes down quite well on it's own, so you might be able to skip one of the two later steps, but for sanding I'd definitely suggest that 2 stage is the way to go. Your Argos polisher will be fine if your technique is good enough - good technique with bad tools is better than bad technique with the best tools - so don't spend more money than you have to... unless you want an excuse to buy a new polisher, then I can justify that for you too. You might also want to consider the smaller spot pads as well as the larger 5" depending on where you're polishing - a lot of the front bumper is much easier with spot pads, but then the bonnet & upper central part of the bumper is easier with larger pads.
  12. No prizes for guessing the inspiration...
  13. Yes, if you get the required harness too.
  14. Nope, the only way to fix it is a new head unit/hands free solution. IIRC it’s something about differences in Bluetooth protocol on newer phones (and middle aged ones now... I think the S5 was the last one that worked!) being different to Nissan’s and neither party cares enough to do anything about it. *there is a remote chance that I may have imagined any-to-all of the above.
  15. Exactly. In very much the same way that they Taycan is such a storming success that Tesla can’t keep up with demand.
  16. This. If it reduced the output, it’s a fail. Colour tints could also be a separate fail depending on the colour of the output once wrapped.
  17. But I have now. Around 5 minutes to refuel with real life range of 405 miles. My word, how wrong I got that!!
  18. No, you’re right. I was referring to petrol/diesel cars, not hydrogen.
  19. Largely because you keep banging on about, it's obviously an important part of your driving experience, so why wouldn't you? However I can honestly say that I have never, not once, done 0-60 on the open road in normal driving conditions, and certainly not in any manner that would mean being able to do it under 3 seconds is worth spunking 6 figures on! Generally speaking, those roads you can legally reach 60 means that you're rarely stopped at a standstill without a queue of traffic in front of you.... I mean, we'renot talking about well handling cars that you could use on a daily basis here, we're talking about launching which, outside of the drag strip, means precisely f**k all to your average motorist. Given that there are only 2 150KW chargers in the whole of the UK currently, you might as well claim that the millitony KW chargers are now a thing and they'll charge 400 miles of range in 2 seconds for all the use it'll be. However, regardless, I'm pretty sure 10 minutes to go 160 miles is still more than <5 minutes to go 400+ miles, so where exactly have EV's made up that advantage?
  20. And just how many times have you gone from 0-60 since buying it?
  21. Well I approve. I do like that! I also approve of the mat idea.
