  1. Nice car, I do love the idea of an AMG55 of these. All I can say Chirag, enjoy the two seater sports cars!! Now you are married at some point a family vehicle is likely to show its ugly head!! I can talk from experience! Baby on route in Feb. Wife's MR2 gone and replaced with Land Rover! Currently I am keeping the Z!! But who knows! So make the most of it guys.
  2. Another vote for Lenovo. Same boat buying GF a tablet for xmas 3 years ago, after a lot of reviews and comparing the screens in store too I went with the Lenovo Yoga 10inch tablet. http://www.gsmarena....let_10-5836.php Not the best screen resolution however for our day to day use its perfectly up to the job. One thing I found very useful when comparing the screens in the shop is to download the same HD pictures (so long as the shop is connected to the WifI you can do this). Reason being when you look at the demo pictures on the ipad you are looking as some seriously large files and enhanced pictures. If you put the same resolution pictures on both the ipad and another you often see that there is 'less' of a difference in quality than you thought. For sure a screen with a higher dpi will be better, but really depends on what you are wanting to use it for. Our Yoga tablet has only 149 dpi which is not great in terms of spec on paper, but put a good quality image on it and it really is not bad at all. Battery life on the Yoga is fantastic too.
  3. £3k for clutch and flywheel seems rather excessive! Unless you are going for really high end high power use clutch. Otherwise £1.5k seems more realistic for standard kit.
  4. Episode 2 - only worth watching the Vulcan part. Rest was dross. Episode 3 - okay but nothing great about it. They just don't seem to show many cars at all on each episode. Still not a fan of TGT at all. Disappointed to be honest.
  5. Don't believe I met you, however that many people singing your praises is testament to what a guy you were. RIP Martin & condolences to your family.
  6. Guys sorry but I am going to have to pull out, have to go to Shanghai on Sunday for work so will not be around. You can still meet up, Nath are you happy to organise it?
  7. Esprit Diffuser blended in Before the 370z wheels
  8. Nice array of cars. Very jealous I could not make it.
  9. Vermin. Lovely looking car mind. Feel sorry for the owner on one hand but relieved it was taken safely rather than held up with a knife at traffic lights or so. Hopefully justice prevals.
  10. Watched it. When talking about cars great. Other dross went on a bit. In 75min they only reviewed 4 cars! I want more cars
  11. Getting the right compact/mini SLR is key. A good one will allow some great shots. Sometimes people think the key to great photography is high end expensive kit. Trust me on this as an amateur photographer it is very much about the person behind the lens, not the price of kit. If you can capture a good shot and visualise it that is an art in itself. My advice would be to spend time composing your shot, don't rush it. Try to use the zoom less, move yourself rather than zooming when possible. Try and get the best shot possible from the camera rather than relying on editing software. Chirag for your first round of shots you have a good eye for composure. Some excellent shots there.
  12. Good reminder Blocko. Welcome to the forum. Thinking how about a mini meet on Sunday 11th December? 10:00am at Staverton Airport, could have a drive out at 11am, then maybe go for a Sunday/xmas roast? 1. Monkeybrain1234
  13. Yep I do. Z is my first rwd car and it's much more fun than a fwd. Only time fwd beats rwd is when snowing!
  14. My favourite way to waste time - daydreaming Done with pictures Ferrari 355 spider - always loved this car, 1st ride in a supercar Koenigsegg Agera - love the pure passion Christian has for cars and the attention to detail. Inspirational company Big Lamborghini fan, the Miura is a classic Aston Martin Vanquish. Love the V12 and looks of these Carrera GT. Raw driving experience, and that V10 sounds like nothing else. How F1 should still sound. Alfa Romeo 8C. Stunning car, not best handling but looks alone forgive that minor point. Morgan supersports - love the classic look with a modern twist. MV Agusta F4 thrown in for good measure. Simply the best looking bike on sale Ferrari F12 - ticks all the boxes including the bonkers one! Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV this is without a doubt only reason I work so hard. One day I will own this car. Somehow, sometime I will have this.
  15. Keeping the Z and the Freelander. MR2 has now gone, gutted but never mind. Will be keeping the Z for my everyday driver and then the Freelander for "family" time and adventures. Well will keep the Z until funds allow a Maserati Granturismo or Aston vantage
  16. Excellent, see it regularly as I pop to Tesco for a sandwich usually. Always looks nice and clean. Mine is the red Z if you happen to see it one day. Keep a look out for a local meet that often occurs at staverton airport.
  17. Welcome, do you happen to keep your Z in Tesco car park Quedgeley? I often pop there for buying lunch and see one like your always parked up.
  18. Congratulations to you both. Z babies in Jan, Feb and March.
  19. Can see your point, however I use the Z as a daily. So at very least I can enjoy it on route to work and back. Which will keep me happy. 30miles a day Freelancer for all the rest of driving. Except for Le man's, Wales blasts and Z meets.
