  1. Shame about the video but enjoyed watching that older one again. There's a GoPro for sale in the "For Sale" sub section fyi.
  2. Like X-Factor but for criminals? Seriously though I do agree with you that we shouldn't be paying for these criminals & terrorists to live in jail.
  3. Hello saint, I've removed your mobile number from the advert as this is an open public forum so you may end up getting loads of unsolicited calls (spam) otherwise. Interested parties can always PM you for contact info and sign up if they're not members already to do so. GLWTS.
  4. Very generous of you. Good luck.
  5. Stunning looking engine, ...not like most of today's engines covered in black plastic.
  6. As far as I know there is no such thing as shooting to neutralise in law enforcement - if a trigger is pulled, the aim is at the center of mass (chest) to minimise chance of missing. Aiming for legs would be nearly impossible, and there would be stray bullets flying down streets. Also at least one of them was wearing a fake bomb belt. Exactly. There is only shooting to stop the threat which is done as mentioned by aiming for centre mass. Ideally the Police shoot to incapacitate the aggressor/attacker which happens when physical or mental inability to continue the attack/threat happens which is generally why the term "shoot to stop the threat" is used. They're not trying to kill people more incapacitate that person. I'm not going to go into this in anymore detail but needless to say shooting in the legs or arm etc to stop a "bad guy" is purely Hollywood fiction. Even if someone was shot in the leg in an attempt to wound rather than kill they could very easily die within minutes if the femoral artery was struck (plus it wouldn't immediately stop the threat so they might still blow themselves up/shoot others etc). Not to forget that any Firearms Police Officer shooting in a live fire scenario will be under a great deal of stress, adrenaline and more (regardless of their excellent training & physical condition) so even if it was viable aiming for small body parts on moving targets would be almost impossible to do accurately even when using a rifle.
  7. Despicable act. Thoughts are with the deceased, their families and the injured.
  8. Yep I enjoyed your post too z21. Tbh when I've done track days I've always just used an Arai motorcycle helmet. You see when I first started doing trackdays back in the late 90's you didn't even have to wear helmets back then providing you were driving a "tin top" (car with a solid roof). When the rule came in I did like a lot of people and just bought a motorcycle helmet which I've been using now for two decades odd. You've inspired me to get a proper helmet when funds allow and definitely before I do a trackday again.
  9. ^^ This. I've been in a car when I had a high speed roll over (down a hill, 60mph+) and I couldn't consciously do anything really marzman. Once it started I was just a passenger holding on and bracing for the impacts.
  10. Loved mine hence why I spent so much money on it, ...should never of sold my FI Zed. Enjoy the forum.
  11. Nice, ...here was my Gun Metal Grey Zed: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/91628-gmballistics-zed-supercharged-2003-gun-metal-gt-coupe-vids-added/ Sold a while ago (regrettably) and in an 08 Audi S3 Quattro currently.
  12. What Zed are you driving (colour/model), ...I'll keep an eye out. Welcome aboard.
  13. Welcome aboard. If it's an automatic you want then you're going to be looking at JDM import cars then as they didn't have any UK autos AFAIK. Only 5 available on Autotrader but tbf 4 of them are within your budget: http://www.autotrade...ssion=Automatic Personally I'd go for a manual UK version, ...not too bothered about age or mileage per se as condition and service history (how it's been looked after) are much more important imho. 350Z service schedule here: http://www.350z-uk.c...ule-for-a-350z/ Buyers guide here: http://www.350z-uk.c...rs-guide-fixes/
  14. There's an abundance of footage from self-righteous DCWs / HCWs where they are clearly in the wrong and just embarrass themselves. It was probably uploaded with the title "CRAZY MANIAC AGGRESSIVE CAR DRIVER CAUSES ME TO FALL OFF MY BIKE NEARLY KILLING ME!!!!" ^^ That or... A lot of these people I find are hungry for some sort of recognition or "Youtube fame" so will literally post anything providing they get thousands if not millions of views. Very sad imo that society can be like that.
  15. You may and I've seen that on before Strudul but it is still absolute class. Would love to have been in the car following that guy to have seen it as it happened. Stupid cyclist.
  16. I've always used Goodridge braided brake lines on every car that I've ever fitted new brake lines to. Not one problem ever.
  17. You can create a "Wanted" advert for a 350Z yes but mentioning swapping or the sale of the Impreza is a no at the moment, ...it's a grey area.
