Stunning. This one. Not so keen on Roma. Looks like the new maserati they were going to bring out, Alfieri I think.

When I lived in a first floor flat I used to fill two 10/15 litre plastic Jerry cans and use that to wash the car. It wasn't ideal but worked well.

If you replacing your 350z, what would you get next?

I would second that my friend. -
Electric car discussions are about as interesting as Brexit talks

TVR Tuscan - what a car Maserati Granturismo - 2+2 but GT not sports car 996 4S porker - really nice car particularly if you can find ims upgraded Lotus Elise - great drive but can you live with no creature comforts Aston Vantage - may stretch budget a little, great value and in General very well looked after. And it's an AM For me it's maserati next as need 4 seats for kids and it scratches that V8 itch -

Realistically could do with more info of what you need/want out of your hotel. Nevertheless I was in Rome on business and stayed here - Hotel Forum Rome It's quite a simple hotel but location is perfect for walking to main sites. Also had secure parking (daily charge) Great roof top terrace for a drink while overlooking Rome. Rome is very much like Paris, you don't get much for your money unless you want to spend £250+ per night. Happy to give more advice if needed. https://www.booking.com/hotel/it/forum.en-gb.html?aid=311076;label=hotel-80044-it-2tak3yabDSEWhUZrNBTeDwS266324075682%3Apl%3Ata%3Ap1%3Ap2%3Aac%3Aap1t1%3Aneg%3Afi%3Atikwd-186669216%3Alp9045585%3Ali%3Adet%3Adm;sid=c9509dbd3d6cfd5e61200ee22ec28e93;all_sr_blocks=8004402_88152896_0_2_0;checkin=2020-03-12;checkout=2020-03-13;dest_id=-126693;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;group_children=0;hapos=1;highlighted_blocks=8004402_88152896_0_2_0;hpos=1;matching_block_id=8004402_88152896_2_0_0;no_rooms=1;ref_is_wl=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;sr_order=popularity;srepoch=1569713840;srpvid=af0ca618a8c800d3;type=total;ucfs=1&

Evening @ Caffeine & Machine - Friday 20th Sept
monkeybrain1234 replied to davey_83's topic in Local Meets Across The UK
I am on holiday that week. Enjoy the evening. -
Agree with @davey_83 saw same one at caffiene and machine, first time seeing in the flesh, thought it looked quite good. Was surprised I liked it as not really a fan off the pictures I had seen or the old supra. (respect the old supra but don't actually like it, same with GTR) However thought this modern day Supra looked good. (unlike the gt86 which is terrible)
-
Caff & Mac rocked, would certainly be up for going again. Unfortunately I would say you have been victim to your own success this time with 20+ cars, as with so many people its hard to keep together and sit down and eat. If it was just 5-10 cars it would be simpler. Either way I am happy to join in . . . perhaps you put a date up and see what the uptake is like and decided the best POA from there. . .

@davey_83 thanks for organising a great day. (Although I didn't get to see you all day as you where here there and everywhere). Really liked Caffeine and Machine, first time there but certainly will not be the last. Look forward to next event. . . -

Goodwood festival of speed probably the best car event I have been to. Even better than lemans 24hrs in my opinion. Alot to see and many cars from all era's, including seriously exotic stuff like Koenigsegg's, Ferrari FXXK programme and Aston Vulcan just to name a few. All in motion blasting up hill the hill etc. Alot of walking to make the most of it, would say 2 days is enough to get through it all. Completely recommend FOS to anyone with a minimum fuel:blood ratio of more than 1:100

SUPERCARFEST @ SHELSLEY WALSH SAT 20TH JULY 19
monkeybrain1234 replied to andy james's topic in National Events & Shows
@Humpy @Nso93 up for that gentlemen. Best place probably to meet will be just off M5 junc 9 (Tewkesbury) at the Porsche garage. Straight off, meet, then straight back onto M5. From junc 9 to venue is about 40min. So how about meeting at 6:40? -
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Ekona. Big news and a life changing event ahead.

Honestly mate, its not worth worrying about it. Move forward without telling anyone. The banks biggest concern is getting the monthly payments and affordability of lending. Neither are things that have changed for you as your wife has already picked up a new job at a higher income. Yes there are technicalities but some rules are just there to be "bent" like speeding for instance, when the situation is just right in a safe way it maybe okay to go above the lawful 70mph even if "technically" its naughty. Seriously don't worry and push for the completion date to be as soon as possible. Least risk is don't tell anyone. Good Luck

Don't tell anyone anything. Not solicitor, not broker, not lender, not housebuilder. No one. When they sent you the mortgage offer its for a point in time. At the point in time all was good, and it sounds like it will all be okay moving forward. Good luck with the move but honestly don't tell anyone.

Very nice Z. Its Z's like these which make me want a 370! GLWS

Welcome and nice colour Z. In Cheltenham so hpe to see you around soon -
Still don’t see how a 981S will increase in value compared to a GT4 over the next 3-5 yrs. 981 you can pick them up everywhere as many about. (Don’t get me wrong I think they are a great buy in terms of car for the money, but I don’t see investment opportunity screaming out)! Totally appreciate it’s not me investing the money so it’s easy to talk. And £30k and £70k are very different amounts of investment. Either way you will have a cracking car I am sure.
-
Really? There are only around 500 UK cars of the GT4. I would still have it down as an appreciating asset.
