  1. along and get us some snaps!
  2. It's probably time you sat down with her and watched Goodfellas
  3. Looks like same product and seller here, looks pretty sweet. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/61884-for-sale-350z-giacuzzo-replica-spoiler-new/
  4. Had a quick look for this, couldn't find the build. Any chance of a link? Ta.
  5. Even if there's nothing under the bonnet except empty space that's cheap! Cat D?
  6. Oooooh that's nice. I keep being tempted by purple... How long should it last if you take care of it?
  7. They either hate the kids, or it has a much better NCAP safety rating than it looks.
  8. Nice customer care. It's so easy to get the little stuff right, cup of coffee, friendly (fit) girl, bag of goodies, clean car. It all sounds so very good and you've already told people about how pleased you are. It's not like any of that will have made a huge dent in their margins. Why do so many businesses (car or otherwise) get it so very wrong?
  9. Looks stealth. Any sample footage?
  10. I have a whole galaxy of poppers, clips, trim doo daas from Zmanalex/ClarkMototrsport. I even got one free from my local steeler.
  11. Some of those cars were really hauling ass for the weather! My emergency procedure on a ski slope is head for deep powder and fall over, seems to be the same for a car. The snow slows them so much quicker than the luge run down the centre.
  12. I say don't cut it down, it's too pretty, make the car fit the exhaust.
  13. You know she's a keeper if she gets you a body mountable HD video camera. GoPro FTW!
  14. Is it the Pioneer AVH-X8500BT you are considering? If so, have a look on page 5 of here. http://docs.pioneer.eu/Manuals/AVH_X8500BT_YRD5375_installation_manual/ It looks very similar to my AVH-X2500BT, which works nicely with the ebay special cam. It's just needs a RCA video and a reverse light signal wire.
  15. That's interesting. I'd always just assumed it was because 70 odd litres of fuel had been sucked up and there's no air getting in to replace the liquid, until you open the filler cap that is, and it rushes in. Top post
  16. Would a bumper order of detailing goodies break the car parts rule? Advanced driving course?
  17. Posts 23 & 22 seem to be directly contradictory.
  18. erm................yes they have (SMD) I was mid type!
  19. I can't believe the words Spurs Mad Dave haven't come up on this thread yet. Edit: they arrived even before I could get the post in
  20. PM zmanalex/clark motorsport
  21. Resistance is futile. Do it do it do it do it.
  22. I had two over 65 nervous passengers in there, so you can imagine how easy I was taking it. I dread to think what I'd have got under spirited conditions. Despite their frenchness those RCZs have a certain, Je ne sais quois about them.
  23. Now that is a car with the best of both worlds, makes total sense.
  24. I needed four seats at short notice on Friday so went to my usual rental place. I was pretty pleased to get a Focus, as it was a late call and not many cars left. I'd feared some sort of Chevvy Spark or Hyundai I10 so a Focus was a decent result. I keep thinking of one for a winter/sensible car so thought it'd be a good test run. What I got wasn't the standard 1.6 rental offering but the Ecoboost. A 3 cylinder, 1.0 litre TURBO I've never driven FI, would it have too much power for me? In terms of the usual stuff, decent focus interior and spacious, everything is lightweight and easy to handle etc etc, a fine car interior (some squeaks mind) in comparison to the rest of its class IMHO. However, the engine sucks the sweat from a dead man's balls. Allegedly the turbo Ecowarrior delivers 100bhp, which is probably more than my first car, a 1.2 Clio. However, it was totally insipid to drive. Now I realise Zed owners probably aren't their target market, and it was fine around town, but this is not enough to get me juicy. My old Clio was so much more fun in the city. The weirdest thing is, I did a run over to Sheffield, so a selection of city, motorway and A road action (snake pass rules BTW). The (majority mileage) motorway stretch was appalling, I had to shift down to third to overtake anything, an incline (not a hill) causes asthmatic wheezing and when I got sat behind Fred & Mable on snake pass I had literally nothing to use to get passed their Ford Ka safely. The worst bit is, it averaged 40.3 mpg, for the whole journey! Now where's the bloody Eco in that? The Shark returns 30mpg on the same run, at similar (top) speeds, yet makes me gush just when I start her up and hear that V6. Who is going to buy a car with rubbs performance but with only 40mpg as the reward? I was expecting 55 mpg at least. I don't get how they think people will be enticed into these small engine turbod Eco cars, when there's no juice when you floor it and no spectacular mileage figures to please your wallet - it's the worst of both worlds. Do you think this is the way all cars are eventually going to go? Is the Zed the last Tyrannosaurus Rex waiting to become extinct and replaced by the Donkey
