  1. First 2 minutes basically repeats what I said http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFEA1n-Ggy4
  2. A lot of non petrol heads do mix up the tt and the zed, as they do with the mx5 and the s2000.
  3. Back in the day the 300zx was very accomplished, but it got very tech and power focussed moved away y from that more raw experience of driving and got very heavy. The 280 was heavier than the 240 and the 300zx was heavier still, the 350 went back to a slightly lighter car with Na power. And a more raw driver focused vehicle. The 300zx wasn't a bad car but the focus in tat era was different to the original. Concept of the 240z
  4. The 300zx twin turbo engine was great, but it had moved away from what zed cars were originally. The 350 was a step back towards the origins of the 240 and 280z
  5. I went zed to s2000, best move I ever made, s2k was one of the best cars I ever owned. Test drive doesn't help. Have a chat with some of the guys over on S2K.com get some local to take you out and properly experience one. Bombing around with the roof down made mundane drives fun. I had the roof down in sun rain and snow, night and day, it just made the whole driving experience more fun. Can't explain it, you just need to experience it. Give me a bell if you want a chat I'll pm my number if you want it. I know the s2kuk chairman and a few other guys. Didn't look back when I pxed the zed. I found the 350 the most disappointing car I've ever owned. But that's my opinion not fact. I rank it lower than even my mr2 or 306gti6. Zed wasn't a bad car, it just wasn't a good car for me. Only bonus of it was the friends I made on here.
  6. Not a ford, Vauxhall or vw fan, so all those cars are just ugly and dull. The 300zx was way over weight a real fat car. Yes there were some interesting engines. But everything was so boxy. Very little of that period I'd like to own. Maybe an 80s Porsche 911. Jag xjr220. Grew up in Essex so to me escorts, nova, Astra, escorts, sierras, fiesta all hideous chav wagons to me
  7. To be honest I don't see most 80s cars or some early 90s as classics. It was a hideous time for automotive design.
  8. I saw a ford Cortina mk2 1600 the other day
  9. don't know the S type that well, have been looking at the X type estates. look on honest johns website, they do a model by model break down with all known faults and issues to look for. very useful.
  10. Its the Taiwanese bobsleigh team
  11. Looking forward to seeing it at somepoint
  12. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3M-Car-Wrap-Film-Vinyl-SC-85-BLACK-MATTE-152cm-x-200cm-Scotchcal-Controltac-/220914220836?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item336f837f24
  13. Picture doesn't show you anymore as its a tranny
  14. Best bet for 3M would be eBay if buying small quantities
  15. Kids in my workshop keep singing the corus
