How many members dont drive Zeds or any Nissan

True story. We’re all petrolheads, it just so happens Z owners have exceptional taste! -
How many members dont drive Zeds or any Nissan
Stutopia replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
Sold my 350 in March 2017 - I absolutely loved it and it was a real downer, had it longer than I expected but life's too short not to switch cars every now and again. I'd be tempted to pick up another one in future, if the right unicorn low miler in the right colour HR coupe came up. Always have an eye out for a 370z Mk2 Nismo too... -
Same issue on the Toybaru, OEM dies if you switch it off for 20 mins. Loads of folk have gone back under warranty, got a new (same) battery and then are astonished when it happens again. They go back under warranty, get a new (same) battery - lather rinse repeat.... For the £70 it cost me to get an upgrade, I feel it was a good spend - saves trips to the dealer and I'd sooner be driving and £70 lighter, than stuck somewhere with £70 in my pocket - several times over

Cheers for the comprehensive response Chris Makes it an attractive proposition for a chap considering a comfortable GT. I'd probably follow suit on a loud exhaust (why wouldn't you) but that'd be it.

Now you’ve lived with it for a while, do you mind if I ask how you find the ride and refinement? I expect nice v8 noises obvs, but how’s the road/wind noise, squeaks/rattles etc. What does it do with poor road surfaces when your cruising?
-
This has been most interesting. Obviously we’re all keen to know what the new car is. ps. If you’d like me to duplicate this thread and leave a FS Post without all the chat, just ask

OMG, I thought you were head over heels for her? Gorgeous motor BTW, GLWTS

Almost the exact same styling mods as my old GM 2004 Z. I got all misty eyed!

Don’t work like that. Someone does the maths that says, “we’ve saved X millions on this. Only Y numbers of deaths. That means each life cost Z, which is ‘acceptable’ “ The irony is that speed cameras are justified as necessary because they are saving lives and not as a revenue stream. So lives are worth saving, so long as the mechanism involved brings in money, not expends it.

Guys, why can't everyone just ride their unicycle to the craft coffee shop they work in? It's only half a mile guys.

Who could’ve forseen capacity expansion on the cheap was a crap idea?

And you’re not alone. Whilst it’s gleefully reported that usage of “single use” bags are down 90%, the big supermarkets will not publish the sales figures for “bags for life”. This is obviously tremendous eco news, there’s 2% fewer bags than there once was, but now they’re 300% more durable and long lasting! And there’s the small matter of them being 20p each in my local supermarket? Who gets the money again? https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/no-plastic-bag-sales-arent-down-90

The vast majority of people will act in their own immediate interest and will consider (and possibly even implement) any number of non-invasive or mildly irksome measures that "do good". They may eat fewer animals per week, change to plant based milk, get a bag for life, try and cut down on single use plastics. These make one feel good and show others what a caring and considerate person one is. These things they do will make no real difference and the group in question is known as, normal people. The bulk of the remainder will positively act in the greater good; they will buy electric cars, take fewer flights, sort the recycling properly, switch to a green energy supplier and even go about putting leaflets on SUVs or tweeting about global heating. These things make one feel tremendously virtuous, so much so, that one will positively advocate theses activities to anyone who will listen, and even those that won't. These things they do will make a very tiny difference and the group in question is known as, eco-mentalists. The remainder of the remainder, a very tiny percentage of all the humans, will do as instructed by very rich individuals and organisations. The things they could (but won't) do, would make an enormous difference to the future of humanity, and the group in question is known as, politicians.

Talk about deluded, people who get their panties in a bunch about flights, SUVs, meat eating etc need to get a grip on things that actually do make a difference like global energy production and cement manufacture. It might have helped if everyone on the Titanic had picked up a pint glass and started scooping out water, but it would only have bought them a few more minutes, not a safe trip to New York. P.S. The printing of that card, has a carbon foot print. Offset it all you want, you can’t get back the energy and release that occurred producing, delivering and placing it.

Gorgeous, nice choice.

They all went in the same batch, except for one late payer who is still in my living room. Just rechecked your address details, everything looks fine.

Cracking write up mate and the car looks mint too. Good on ya.

I can reorder, but given only a few people have been in touch about late requests, the volume will be too low to qualify for a bulk discount. I don't order spares because the surplus for the club on the calendar is so small (it just about covers 1/3 of the cost of the annual event insurance) it would only take a few unsold to make it not viable. If anyone REALLY wants one, you'd be looking at about £28 delivered for one. Please get in touch by PM in the next couple of days if you'd like to do that.

I’ll post up some pics in a few days
-
Excellent news, glad they are all coming through and look ok to you all If anyone doesn't get theirs in the next few days, drop me a PM.

Some beads from this morning. I realise these are neither the highest, sphericalest nor tightest, but what did impress me is that they formed on a single layer of AMMO Reflex, which I put on 10 days and 500 winter miles ago, without any QD, wax or other LSP on top.

Arrived today from printers, might JUST be able to get them in today's post. Thanks everyone for supporting the club like this, it really does make a difference Thanks to all you prompt payers out there too
-
We should form a club, I also have the whiff of pork in my nostrils
-
WOW! There can only be handful like this still out there. GLWTS.
