  1. Cars are such a personal choice, and because cars are often heart over head choices, there is often a lot of emotion attached to the car. People don't like to hear bad stuff about them. I'm sure its like someone sagging your child off to your face for some people. I'm looking at diesel family cars at the mo. Head says get the a4 heart says get the 159. Guess which is winning
  2. Is it bottle? Or was he just enjoying his track day? This is like an automotive version of SMS (small man syndrome)
  3. I like the extra features and the idea of an all in one system, I just hope it all works on this side of the Atlantic
  4. I don't think the aventador was really trying where the guy in the zed was having the drive of his life its like those guys in corsa's racing sports cars off the lights, then telling their mates I beat a .... off the lights; and the guy in the sports car gets to work and tells all his mates about some Div trying to race them so they let them go.
  5. Maybe the Xbox might be more adult friendly and put the kids off. I'd pay a premium for an online game system not infested with stupid children.
  6. Any screen shots of the new look? And what hardware is getting updated today, so I can tell the missus to turn stuff on.
  7. I won't buy at launch, I'll wait and see what happens
  8. Forgot about the exchange rate it is crap we have to pay more. But I remember when I used to skate and play street hockey the skates from the usa when sold in the uk, they'd just swap the dollar sign for a pound sign. Was ridiculous.
  9. Add in the fact it comes with Kinect from the start where it was a £150 option on the 360. Its not cheap but its not expensive in comparison to what's in it. How much could you build a standalone pc of the same spec? And this is all relative compared to what the PS4. Until they release their price, the xboxone has no comparison. I have a feeling the ps4 is going to cost more. Still might do what I did with my 360 and wait 3 years before I buy it.
  10. Apple does a very good job of making products that work and are user friendly. My wife is an iWhore like ekona. And I have to say I can't fault the system. I tried apple and didn't like it. Found it very restrictive, no ability to really personalise. Been on android for 5 years now. And it is good. But next year I hope to move to windows phone. Not because its better but because it will be the same as my surface tablet and my win 8 desktop. I'm institutionalised. But taking a leaf out of apples book and having everything on the same os makes sense. I'm not a heavy app user, and I think next year I'll down grade my tech as I don't use my mobile as much as 5 years ago. Apples inability to change away from what it knows is looking like its the company bonus, but now also its choke point.
  11. good effort mark, you have your work cut out, you'll look like popeye when your done
  12. And the bodyshop I use also has a performance garage attached that does mechanical. They do all the work on all my cars.
  13. Bodywork as far as I know is not their thing, you also have Kaiser performance you way as well for mechanical work. Bodyshop wise I'm not sure what's in your area that I would recommend. Don't know the area well enough. My place in Suffolk would sort you out and give you a courtesy car as well.
  14. Depending on body shop I think the final bill all in will be between £700-£1000
  15. Should have come and knock on the door, you could bung the car on my drive and used my garage, I'd have given you a hand as well.
  16. Nissan paint is really soft, I swear I had a scratch and I was able to almost sqidge the paint back over the scratch
  17. I take that back prices range between £70 and £120 for the wing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-2003-Front-Wing-With-Hole-R-h-/400448203433?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d3c92aaa9 front bumpers more like £200 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-PRE-FACELIFT-FRONT-BUMPER-GENUINE-NISSAN-PART-/281110952455?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item417384ba07
  18. 2nd hand bumper about £150, 2nd hand wing about another £150, and then about £250 to spray the wing and £300 to spray the bumper. But that's guesstimates.
  19. Between 16 and 25 mpg depending on if its town or distance driving. But I do have a bigger lower pulley and more power. I would guess the rr would be about 13-25mpg
  20. From memory its the same engine that's in my jag, but the range is twice the weight, so expect single figure low teens mpg
