  1. Ive got one where are you located. I bought it from Lithuania. I haven't tested it and not used it as found out it was just a battery issue. It's taken from another car but should allow the car to start to remove the fuse if you wish.
  2. Yeah I'd have got the base and modded that then maybe get the Nismo when it was 3 years old. Auto is fine as the gig economy riders, average speed cameras make driving a manual in built up areas tedious. We also have lots of uber drivers in priuses and 20mph zones. I remember the frustration with nismo just to get out of the area to decent roads you'd have been leveling the clutch for 30 mins in traffic... Maybe one day I'll get another. Done with Nissan for now.

  5. Careful, Youll be accused of blowing your own "trumpet" in due course. #
  6. leaning towards the F-Type V8 AWD tbh. Because with Porsche once you start its addictive i think. Can get one after im done with brutish, loutish noise and excess consumption and speed.
  7. Someone https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/125470-hi-new-to-the-z-scene/?do=findComment&comment=1824898
  8. Okay I will assume i said it first for now. But im sure someone else said it first lol..maybe im losing marbles...remember this site had some changes made. So not sure if it affected search facilities lol.
  9. All good because 599 and insane 599XX are one of my favourite Ferraris aside from Testarossa and Enzo.
  10. Every car enthusiasts dream.
  11. Speaking of preferences 😉 @The Bounty Bar KidJessica Lawrence nah once you've seen it, you've seen it all. Now since the 370Z is a poor man's 599. How about an actual 599 converted to gaited manual. "Gimme me numbers". 😎. Apparently they were available to order in manual but people mostly ordered flappy paddles. Only 30 or so were bought and all GTBs apparently. Manual command 5 times the price. Can be converted and sold at profit... Anywho back to my financial lane! https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-spottedykywt/manual-converted-ferrari-599-for-sale/48028
  12. Yeah that's nice, as soon as it landed I'd swap out that steering wheel for the sport one and add some minimal ambient lighting. I think these 991 gen have bottomed out in the 40s for now. Looks like it's missing the exhaust button. On the Caymans it's just pops and bangs and a tiny bit more volume. I couldn't tell the difference aside from that.
  13. 993 turbo or carrera. I just looked and looks like the classic porsche from the 90s. Not many turbos for sale and it was a Gemballa I'd be happy with Carrera NA or newer Carrera with the 3.0 As far as I know unless it's the early 2000s turbo s which are 60k plus the rest are 90 to 120k and new gens were 160k but now the latest are over 200k. Lol Cayman and Z are similar bar the weight. So it might be a sideways step for most on here. Handling wise superior 1300 to 1400kg..911 can offer the power but not the same balance and handling. Suppose can't go wrong. 911 is 911.... Porsche host track days at their leisure. Just need to pay and spend a couple of hours there.
  14. They do have a lot of character. Worth a punt only live once. Hard to get bored of the Z though.
  15. My brother had the 2015 991 911 RWD carrera. All buttons well optioned very shouty. Acceleration is underrated.... Was £78k at the time the car was 2 years old. They're 40 to 65 now. Servicing cost him £1000 a pop. Skoda wrote it off... Nice cars but not on the cheap side. I suppose there's more urgency now to try diff cars with incoming restrictions lol.
  16. Im not sure tbh. I like the F type but I'm thinking keep saving and decide later. Power isn't everything which is true. I dunno if I'll make March lool.
  17. Great write up and fun trip. This is what it's all about. Creating memories as only live once etc.... beats laps round the local Town centers ring road. Teehee 😎.
  18. For anyone looking https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/porsche/cayman-981
  19. I do like the Jag and have been researching them. Content on YouTube is lacking. My mate picked up an AWD Type R few weeks ago came with SVR wing and Cobra custom exhaust. A bit quieter and smoother. I have to say it doesn't hang about. You need over a mile of road to even bother putting a foot down. Sound system from factory (Meridian) is pants and needs work and only the V6 comes with a manual. 550hp plenty for the road. 20 inch carbon wheels. Nice car. Car was £35k. The dealers are barely dropping the prices on many cars so will wait it out.
  20. Can get a 4 seater hot hatch. Markets collapsed and dealers are on shrooms not lowering prices...many cars sitting since summer. I like the RS5 too...RS5 maintenance on the v8 version. Can't imagine it being cheap. Things tend to break on older Audis. Wouldn't touch a German without warranty personally. I'm defence of BMW I'd say the E46/E92 M3 and M5 V10/v8 along with the E30/39 etc were the last bimmers with character.
  21. Closer look at Nismo.. Auto translate not the best translation. 9.2 Million Yen... expensive even for well to do locals
  22. lol id still be hesitant to import one even if i had the money. The competition is way too appealing. Then again the thought of a V8 Supercharged or Twin Turbo appeals more ngl
