  1. Yes Vancouver area. Fun fact .... just BC is nearly 4x the size of the UK but only has 5 million people.Most of Canada's population live on the East coast. Taxes generally around 40% which I think is more than the UK. but you will find that the wages are higher than the UK for the same job. cost of living is prob a bit more also. for example a mobile phone will cost about $60+ a month. My mustang is $1900 to insure for the year, but there is no tax/MOT.
  2. We have Zero regrets about moving here, the family have thrived in the last 10 years. would 100% recommend!. .... as for the weather that depends where you go, east coast is cold and wet, the middle is freezing in the winter, the west coast is sunny and warm in the summer and not too cold in the winter. and by not too cold I mean we don't get -40C like some areas do. a few days at -10C/-15C but generally its fine. on the plus side you come over here and you can get yourself a new Z .... even a new Nismo Z ๐Ÿ˜‚
  3. that's a lot of money for a Mustang ....... and they say it will do a sub 7min Ring lap ......
  4. $300+ USD is a bit rich for me ๐Ÿ˜‚ looks and sounds good though ๐Ÿ˜Ž https://www.carscoops.com/2023/08/2025-ford-mustang-gtd-is-a-300000-supercar-with-800-hp-and-chasing-a-sub-7-minute-ring-time/
  5. I would love a set on my mustang, but no 19x11 and the offsets are all wrong โ˜น๏ธ
  6. Interesting video ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Hello and welcome from Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ eh!
  8. You are partially correct..... I have seen 5 on the road now, 3 had 'N' badges (New driver) but its not fanboys, its fangirls since all were driven by females ๐Ÿ˜‚
  9. Nismo looks goodโ€ฆ. Still not trading the stang for one ๐Ÿ˜‚ https://www.carscoops.com/2023/07/2024-nissan-z-nismo-lands-with-420-hp-better-aero-and-stiffened-chassis/
  10. Good wood is a great show, although last time I went was in 2002. Funny storyโ€ฆ.. my sisters partner at the time was an MP in Chichester, they provide the personal security for the drivers, so my sister and I got access all areas. He was providing security for Murray Walker and his buddy Jenson Button so I got to meet them both. Murray was fantastic really nice man ๐Ÿ˜Ž. When all the drivers went for lunch we met in the drivers tent, I literally walked in to Barry Sheene by accident and spilt his pint โ€ฆ. He was very nice about it ๐Ÿ˜†. We all decided to go for a walk about while the drivers were troughing so my sister and I walked out the drivers tent in front of all the crowds flanked by security โ€ฆโ€ฆ you could hear people going โ€œwhoโ€™s that?โ€ One little kid ran up and asked for my autographโ€ฆ.. did not want to disappoint so scribbled something illegible ๐Ÿ˜‚ fond memories of that day, we had such a laugh!
  11. Step away from that Burger folks..... pick up a carrot and save the planet! https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66238584
  12. I am sure MK 'elf n safety will be on to that before long. Old folk might get tangled up ๐Ÿ˜‚
  13. I don't think there will be many countries who's grids would be able to cope with the surge of electricity required for 50% adoption of EV's. The climate impact of building EV's is a problem, but also the infrastructure required to generate that much electricity will also have a negative on climate change. The worlds biggest polluter is China at 30% of all global emissions, just pushing EV's is not enough, more should done to kerb emissions from power stations and factories etc, China, with more than 10,065 million tons of CO2 released. United States, with 5,416 million tons of CO2 India, with 2,654 million tons of CO2 Russia, with 1,711 million tons of CO2 Japan, 1,162 million tons of CO2 Germany, 759 million tons of CO2 Iran, 720 million tons of CO2 South Korea, 659 million tons of CO2 Saudi Arabia, 621 million tons of CO2 Indonesia, 615 million tons of CO2
  14. I agree, they are nice, seen a few ZO6's and they sound good too.
  15. Thatโ€™s a beaut ๐Ÿ˜Ž GLWTS
  16. Welcome, nice looking car ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. update - it was a homeless woman, CCTV saw her just rock up takes big knife out of her bag and go round slashing his tyres โ€ฆ. WTF ๐Ÿ˜ณ
  18. its prob someone mentally unstable or on drugs, as for being shot, Canada is not as bad as the USA, normal folks don't really carry guns on the street, that only the gangs. not ยฃ's.... $CAD, my PS4S were $2800 Fitted, cup 2's are more expensive He's been to Willow springs already and has a Leguna Seca trip booked for November ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. My bank account is flashing through my eyes and I have not been on a track day yet ๐Ÿ˜‚ My buddy also has a Mach 1, he went to a track day yesterday at Area 27 (https://area27.ca) So......... Track day cost $800 Insurance $400 ( you can only get insurance from a US provider using a US address. No Insurance from Canada in Canada) Hotel for 2 nights $700 (as its 4 hour drive from where we live) New set of Cup2 Tyres $3500 (cos you ruined the last set on your track day) 2x Tanks of fuel $240 ... and here is the worse bit...... New tyres for your F350 truck and dual axel trailer cos some ***** slashed them all at the hotel in the middle of the night + mobile call out to replace .... $6k I am sure you can do the math ...... ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I think I am going to save some more money ๐Ÿ˜‚
  20. Wait..what.... https://www.carscoops.com/2023/06/2024-nissan-z-nismo-wont-offer-a-manual-option-says-report/
  21. Looks like you have a fabulous time ๐Ÿ˜Ž That M4 looks a beast!
  22. Yeah the dash looks weird if you ask me. I can vouch for the seats, same as mine in the Mach 1, although mine are full leather. Overall I think it looks a bit fugly, not worth the upgrade for an extra 20hp ๐Ÿ˜‚
  23. ...... have you considered chopping the tree down ๐Ÿ˜‚
  24. Pretty sure that is a Mishimoto one ๐Ÿ˜Ž .... I remember the group buy
