It’s all moan moan moan from you guys! I’ll all have a look.

After all the engineering you’ve done, to be derailed by a bonnet seems incredible. Surely a man with your skills to make seemingly anything can engineer a nice big bonnet bulge? Bonnet scoops are super cool, everyone loves them!

I can't take credit, we got a sensible suggestion from The People, had a think and decided to give it a try. Most of the Facebook type activity is not regionally split so it's a nod towards being down with the kids. Fam.

A small shake-up has gone on within the Meets, Shows & Events section. The regional approach has been suspended for a while due to a very large amount of old and untouched threads across many regions. By bringing the disparate regions together in one place we hope that it will be busier and easier to follow EVERYTHING that's going on. Perhaps you might even see something that is happening a little further afield than you normally look, but fancy the drive over to get involved. Don't panic. Nothing has been deleted, some inactive threads are no longer visible, we can go back to the old Regional approach if we need to. You can find the unified sub-forum here: https://www.350z-uk.com/forum/254-local-meets-across-the-uk/ As a nod to the major benefit of the previous Regional approach, please put somewhere meaningful in the thread title of anything you post up - a town or attraction or local event - so that Members can identify at first glance meets of interest. Feedback is always welcome, I would please ask that we keep the 'change is not good' replies to a bare minimum and give the new layout a fair crack. If you think one of your current posts has been hidden in error, please get in touch by PM with the details and we can bring it back. Likewise if you would want something pinned.

Gorgeous in white. GLWTS.

I have browsed the Valentis, the ones pictured above are the only ones I like, other than Toms, but they’re too rich IMHO for just rear lights. I may do these in future, but they don’t bother me enough to do anything in the short term. I don’t suffer from the horrible carbon effect, thankfully, but I would like to Alcantara the dash. I might just pick up the kouki interior trim panels though, rather than get them clad.

I’ve seen a pokemon

The idea that there are “uncomfortable answers” doesn’t apply to scientific disciplines. Only a follower of proscribed dogma, by its very nature of being devoid of evidence based decision making, can find answers uncomfortable.

Stinks that they are using this to crackdown on the very diesels they couldn't advocate strongly enough only a few years ago. I'd be pretty TO'd if I'd snapped one up due to the breaks, only to find the goals being moved retrospectively.

I’ve been 3 times now, only ever driven past the pave. Done the high speed ring, alpine route, handling circuit, mile straight.

along.

Hell of shame, always seemed like a true gent when you saw him interviewed or doing punditry. One of the first voices I heard as a young footy fan, when he did co-commentary on Gazetta.

Being in between house moves has really put the brakes on the mods, I've got a replacement high level brake light (which replaces the monstrosity that blocks most of the view out the back) but it requires access to tools to get it fitted, which is impossible right now. Likewise for some cam solenoid covers. This means I'm restricted to browsing goodies, rather than fitting them. Unless, of course, they are a doddle to fit! Yes it's ricetastic but it's better than the yellow. Next up is probably wheels, Enkei RPF01s or Volk TE37s, obviously in gold/bronze. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Can’t help on 70 oil but along.

Speaking of their attempts to engage a wider audience, I heard Toto Wolf mention the idea of a breakaway series. This is mainly because Ferrari are having a strop about changing the distribution of prize money, so that non-works teams can at least have a stab at winning. I heard him repeat the oft floated (usually by someone Italian) "Formula 1 needs Ferrari much more than Ferrari needs F1" statement. For me this is rubbish, I watch to see the technical pinnacle of motor racing and don't give two hoots if Ferrari play or not. I'd much rather see Williams or Haas be more competitive than bask in the perceived glory of Ferrari allowing everyone else to play with them. What do you reckon?

That’s gorgeous, great choice, I want one soooooooo much.

I love a clean engine bay. Niiiiiiice!

Looks gorgeous with that diffuser on there.

Anyone just sat through "The F1 Show: Australia" on Sky? I don't know if this a new banterrific direction for the kids, but I've only just managed to uncringe.

Ah, fair enough. If anyone’s objection to this on technical grounds such as ‘was it legal’ or ‘an act of war’ etc, I can see why it’s causing a stir. From a purely moral stance I find it hard to get excited about one way of (or location of) killing someone over another. You’d have to be some kind of crazed patriotic loon to believe that we don’t have state forces operating abroad doing the same thing but without the press coverage.

But isn't 'abroad' someone else's sovereign soil?

Is there any difference between the Ruskies nerving one of their nationals in the UK and us drone striking one of our nationals out in the desert?
