  1. I'll never complain about the size of anything I detail ever again*. A few things about this jump out at me; First and foremost; his matte silver lenses are f***ing awesome. I want some! I don't understand why, a) They were working out in the sun, surely a hanger would be better... surely?! 2) Why detail it before painting bits? This goes against everything I know about detailing more than reaching for the microfibre cutting pads before anything else. c) How any of them could possibly face turning up to day 3. Impressive job, I certainly don't envy any one of them doing it though. Was a good video too, I enjoyed that. *This is a lie. A barefaced, unashamed, complete, utter and total lie. I also listen to the AMMO podcasts and they did one on this recently. The reason they detailed it before painting is quite simple. The museum had planned to paint it, so the curators told them there was no point detailing it as it needed fresh paint. They (detailers) asked if they could do it anyway, so as the museum planned to paint it, there was nothing to lose. When they finished I believe the museum put the paint job on hold as they were so impressed by the result Love the small section (I think it was Kevin Brown) was doing, a little 2x2 but you could see the oxidisation coming off in literally one pass and looking a fantastic baby blue underneath. I think they did it outside as most of the the museum is outside and the hangars are full of dozens of planes. It must have been mentally hot out there! I'd have been indoors washing pads I need something that big to learn on!!!!
  2. Worth a little look. There's nothing revolutionary, but it is a fairly fascinating (I think!) if you like this sort of thing, plus the world's biggest 50/50 shot. http://youtu.be/-SwWoTYJp9A
  3. PMSL, reminds me of every single Latin class I went to! Yet surely, Centurion: Except that "DOMUS" takes the ...? Brian: ...the locative, sir! Shoud be vocative, not locative?
  4. Azure is the most beautiful Z colour, don't hide it, give it a wash!
  5. Selling rocket covers to the Russians now Wasso???? Paying for a V8 can make you do some questionable things
  6. Resprayed bumper two weeks ago Spotted my first fresh stone chip yesterday It's one of those things, stick a tenner away each month for a periodic respray. As above, I've tried driving well back but it makes no odds, they just happen. It's the two on my passenger door that are irritating!!!
  7. Nice work. I bet it'll be bags of fun. I want to do this so much!
  8. The coolant sensor one is a bit weird if you've only changed the exhaust isn' it? There's a list of codes here if you want to double check: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81962-350z-fault-codes-in-pdf/
  9. thats up there with the fantasy that a bloke spotting a pair of of Lesbos going at it is going to happily join in Sounds perfectly plausible
  10. He must have been hauling ass. Has a jump or other car been photoshopped out of these pics
  11. Nice write up. I hope Infiniti stays a bit uner the radar as I really fancy one as a daily, but they'd lose some desireability for me if they started popping up everywhere. It's the new SAAB
  12. Nice mod, nice guide, you'll be doing an aerial swap next I love that you've pretended this was a button switch, just to cover up wanting to apply mad cow mango sauce to the undeside of the interior plastics
  13. Because Nissan put it in the wrong place. My ejector seat button is going there just as soon as I can get some NOS rigged up to the seat. NOS drinks holder? or NOS air bags? Either way, I'd like to see a guide
  14. They're no good at all, I'll do you a favor and take 'em off you for £50 but you pay postage They look mean as, nice one
  15. But that dumy button doesn't do anything, why move it into the middle?
  16. When I switched to winters before Xmas my rears went in the bin but the fronts still had a bit of meat on them. I'm after £80 for the pair and you can either visit glorious Blackpool or get someone like Paisley Freight to ship them for circa £20 (at your expense of course). Sorry I don't have a tyre depth gauge but I a trusty pound coin has stepped up. I think these little fellas are legal limit indicators. Thanks for looking.
  17. I don't think it's that unusual for military planes to fly in airspace above international waters, but don't let that get in the way of the PUTIN'S COMMIE DEATH PLANES FLY JUST 12 MILES FROM YOUR FAVOURITE SEASIDE DESTINATION headlines. Don't tell anyone, but I bet the sneaky Russians even have secret underwater vehicles, snooping around all over the place, loaded up ready to kill us all the moment someone reveals there's a suspicious side to how much he likes to be filmed wrestling with men.
  18. The Rays are brillant and standing out against the black in beautiful, contrasting silver, they look the shizzle.
  19. I can't imagine getting in one and not being charmed, even if you don't fall in love. Clarkson is a tit, 'nuff said. I watched the one where he aquaplaned it in an M135i last night and then he spat the dummy, and droned on about the Golf mk 753. Yeah, the clutch is heavy, the plastics are questionable, some bits rattle or squeak, the rear visibility sucks and the OEM aerial is off a dodgem, but apart from other Z cars, nothing else looks so sexy out of the box and delivers so much bang for so little buck (perhaps GT86). Men want one, women want one in one. I can't imagine having another car that so consistently people ask me about, particularly non-car people who don't nomally rubber neck motors (several cougars I might add). Has anyone ever been asked, "Is that a Zonda mate?" as they climb out of a Chrysler Crossfire or BMW Z4??? Have you seen that look on someone's face when they ask how much you paid for it, then they find out it cost less to buy than thier brand new Kia? When I got chatting to a couple on a track day and I did a bit of drooling over the chap's Caymen build quality and cabin materials, it was very difficuly to stiffle my boner when his fit Mrs said she much preferred the look of the 350
