No way! Get onto your insurance co to confirm that the other party is admitting fault and that you can get the car repaired at a place of your choice.

Latest informed update with Kubica scheduled to do two days of tyre testing post the Abu Dhabi race this coming weekend: http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/f1/kubica-deal-delayed-paperwork

Sorry to hear this, but on the evidence you have hopefully there will be no dramas getting things sorted

On one of our Welsh driving weekends (many moons ago ) we had a 17 year old driving his mother's glorious UY GT4 and his road craft could not be faulted - a credit to his mother, who was an avid supporter on the forum at the time, and it was her son who chose most of the very tasteful upgrades - his Welsh drive opportunity probably being a thank-you for the way the car was looked after. If Photobucket had not cocked-up the picture hosting for us users I would have posted up a pic or two, but sadly they have ruined some great historical image history of early days on the forum.

There were numerous pre rev 276bhp unsold models right through to 2010 iirc. There was no such thing as a a HE model - the version introduced in 2007 was HR, as Shezza states. Be wary of exactly what model is being sold - those of us who have been around on here since 2005 have lost count of the number of incorrectly labelled 350s.

Alternatively, you could always let Bob cut a hole in the roof and add a 'bubble', in GT40 style

Just seen this. I'm sending you a pm.

Would you say no to this Porsche Dan? Well, maybe the Martini stripes might have to go

That is a real stunner if it turns out anything like those images. But when you read all 99 scheduled cars are sold and yet it is only half built in clay atm..... you just know Investors just see it as another money pot for them knowing there are plenty rich enthusiasts out there who will buy one ('cos they can) at virtually any price asked. Meanwhile us paupers dream on......

Anyone drive/tested a 718 yet, either in 2lt or 2.5lt form? Reviews suggest the aural experience of the 4 pot is disappointing, even if the sports exhaust is added. Hope that is wrong as otherwise the new shape Cayman is very tempting......

From what I saw on Sunday every car would had at least one 5 second penalty for off track stuff - it was ...... free for all until the last vital moment for Max and even Kimi, who is usually quick to complain, had no issue with it. More seriously, with the new powers of F1 and the US hosts trying to make race weekend more entertaining I suspect they were cringing when they saw that an 'official', who cannot be challenged, effectively destroyed the outcome most at the track thought had occurred and given its been hard going to get the US public on board with F1, I expect that was in the back of Max's mind when he made his comment in the heat of the moment - as unfortunate as it was.

Easy pickings for the police. Busy location and potential for accidents, as we have seen in previous vids. As others say, time and place.......as we see all the time in magazine performance car tests in deserted areas that don't attract the wrong attention - from police or otherwise.

Credit to you Andy for sticking with the 350 - the mods you have done and continue to do have made your ZED arguably one of the best around, IMHO. Dread to think what it has all cost (not including the 'rebuild') but admire your dedication both with the ongoing changes and prepared to use the car in serious competition.

There was a Nismo 370Z in 2009 for those across the Pond - so LH drive only, but seemingly no mention of an RS version. https://newsroom.nissan-global.com/releases/release-5fe5f6d21e7e5119c3de19ab85c666ea-090408-01-e?year=2009

I trust Martini are rewarding you well

You put the '45 on the list, so guess that ticks some boxes, but you have never driven one which I suggest you do (dry and wet ideally) and that is where you find its credentials. Have done a fair few hoons with fellow petrolheads and it more than holds its own on the B roads. Always amuses me those who dismiss cars they have never driven, often simply because they are put off by looks........ No idea what it would drive like on track, other than it did its very best to stop me drifing on the MB World Brooklands skid pan

All the background material about the recall can be found in this thread - see post No.153 in particular, but also post nos 60, 95 and 127 for the necessary detail. Your only issue is one of time since the recall was first issued but as MrMartinPGrant found this year, badgering away at least got him a fair slice of the cost paid. Wonder if his idea of getting a new Nismo had a helping hand

Replied to your other post here:

See post No.165 above - the latest (partial) success by a member - you really do need to keep pushing dealer/Nissan. OK, the older the cars get after warranty has expired then the harder getting a 'goodwill' gesture from Nissan it is going to be. If your car has continually serviced by Nissan dealers that might help things, but going on previous charges yours seems way over the top. It is a shame the owner of your car did not repsond to the recall notification at the time.......or maybe it is a second failure, hence the fuse pulling work-around post the fitting of a replacement lock to stop a reoccurence. Hopefully a member local to you in Coventry may be able to advise as to a dealer who will be more helpful and push on your behalf, if the current one is not. Good luck.

Overall results from Saturday - - placed 36th - well done Andy

Has your friend considered renting out the space using one of the many companies that act as agents and I guess will take action against unauthorised users to protect their 'interest" (Income). i.e. https://www.parklet.co.uk/?gclid=CjwKEAjw87PNBRDA_rHbypeJmFkSJADRcAiv0yBehA2jED-EslhtgmCFCHHuQ5_M5FhkrNMXhPA0lhoC3gzw_wcB Maybe there are clauses in the lease that restrict that and it is likely planning permission would be necessary, but it could be a useful earner and remove the chancers?

Echo what Lexx says, but also one of the greatest stalwarts of the forum generally and always up for meets, drive-outs and a good old hoon whenever other things in life did not intervene. Seems a very long time when we first met up at Horsham for a drive with other Zedders.......but have looked up to you ever since, me being a 6'2" shortarse in comparison.

Thanks Al - I'll keep me fingers crossed I get the links right And spell better

Big, big plus is the ease of adding pictures now. Great times.... Whilst I have largely got use to the new format and yes there have been a few frustrations along the way as you find with any tech changes, we do have to remember that the forum is run on peanuts as it always been the priority not to charge membership fees or have the pages riddled with ads. So it is down to those volunteers who have IT skills to do their best in their own time to keep things going and up date with such limited resources. Hats off to you all in the team who have played a part in keeping the forum going which was in danger of being taken out altogether by malious actions of those who have nothing else better to do than spoli others enjoyment. But I will take opportunity to ask if a preview pane is availble before posting replies, as it just seems you get the "Submit Reply" only and before posting I miss the opportunity (in particular) to see that links work as expected? Edit! And correct spelling mistakes....opps
