I had a CD stuck once. Had 6 CD's in the unit. Ejected number 6 and loaded another into. The CD disappeared but the unit still played. Said I had 5 CD's in it. Repeated ejecting of all CD's and eventually it ejected itself.

There maybe some differences in the rear setup of the car compared to a UK model. It depends on the year. The oldest JDM models had a different suspension setup that was revised for the Euro market. A breakers yard should easily have those parts. Most crashed Z's I've seen online have been front impact.

Sound is normal. Not sure about the "bumps".

www.ferraricalifornia.com Sounds great.

only when I bought a car that had a front end shunt

It didn't. Was a GP2 race and it happened twice. First dog was obliterated. Second was caught by the marshals. The FIA will make a big deal of this as under the rules no dogs are allowed into any of the areas including the spectator areas. I would guess that both were pets as opposed to strays and someone let them in. Animals on the circuit are taken very seriously. Look what happened to Cristiano da Matta.

This morning I went with some mates to the Mondello motor racing school for beginners. Great fun but didn’t last half as long as I’d want. First we went out with individual instructors at the wheel in stripped down Mazda 3’s for a couple of laps. The instructor was great. He races in British F3 and finished 5th last year. He explained each corner with it’s boards denoting braking and turn-in points. Then we took over and were let out with a gap between each car. Immediately I caught the first car in front and slowed down as it was a beginners group and we could only over take during designated points. The instructor said put you foot down and keep up with him. So I did. During the next 4 laps I caught and passed two more of them. It also helped when the instructor told me to ignore the braking signs and brake much later. The Mazda 3 was an interesting car. I could throw that thing into the corners without a second thought. Not at all what I was expecting from it. Next we went out in single seater Formula Sheane cars. I started second and followed a safety car for two laps to get comfortable with the car. Was my first time in a single seater and was made all the more interesting by the shifter on the right hand side which looked like an old F1 style thing and no dials. Just a temp gauge and nothing else. The clutch and brake peddles only travelled about 2 inches and we had to start them off in 2nd gear as 1st was just a waste of time. Safety car pulled in and we all stopped on the start finish line to give the marshals a chance to give us a staggered start. Again I caught the first car by the end of the first lap and was let through. I then went for it for the next 6 laps getting faster and faster and setting the fastest lap on my 5th lap which I then bettered on my 6th lap. At this stage I was almost close enough where they’d have to blue flag the guy in last place but as I was exiting the first corner of a series of S bends I accelerated too hard too early and spun. Kept the engine running and got going again immediately but they gave me a black flag to bring me in for a chat. They asked what happened, said fair enough and let me go again. Was a little annoyed that they’d brought me in but as it was a beginner event that I’d never done before I understood. All in all it was brilliant. Always wanted to get into racing but the finances don’t exist. I’ll definitely be doing the intermediate and advanced courses at some point. You guys in the UK have so many tracks available to you. We have one. I would definitely suggest you get down to one and have a go. Especially in a single seater if you can. Approx 100mph in a car with no dials is an amazing experience, driving purely on the feel of the car.

+1 They should be able to control dogs and strange Irish priests.

I would buy a 240 in a heart beat if I had the cash.

No recall has been issued for MY07 cars in Ireland. My dealer will be looking into it as there’s no reason why there shouldn’t. UK and Ireland cars come from the same plant.

You guys crack me up - 1500 miles and replace all the tyres! Fine if you've got money to burn. Anyway these are RE050s not RE040s and in my own experience a superior tyre. +1 Is the RE050A a the runflat version?

Nobody drives my car. Wont even let Nissan test drive when servicing without me present.

Shame it looks like a Hyundai Coupe so much so in my mind that the image looks like a photoshop someone did for a laugh.

Looks a bit like a USB cable Liam. Have a look at the port on the back of the PS3.

That's where I got my Sony from.

Cheers mate. I'll get onto them first thing Tuesday. Guy

Keep trying. I'll give it another go if I can stop myself playing GTA4. Driving head on into other cars and watching my character fly through the windscreen is just too much fun.

I got nothing and don't expect to. Manufacturers here have a habit of not sending recalls out to anyone that doesn't buy the car new. My MY07 is ex demo. Can you scan what you received and post here or pm? Guy

The overall line from the side is very much like a Z.

Buy her flowers. Place in vase on top of TV. Buy/borrow/steal a cat. Throw cat at flowers from a seated position just as wife is about to enter room. Sorted. New tv.

I'll turn on ASM next time.

lol I forgot to take a pic (if it was needed) so I thought it easier that you can see the time online. The id is AlternateID. I got pi**ed off trying to create an online account. With every attempt it kept telling me it was in use and to use an alternate. So I did. Now back to killing people in GTA.

On professional my online ranking is 17 with a 2'29.194

Go to Arcade and choose time trial. I think. Do as many laps as you want. Your fastest time will be saved. So we're going with professional????

I got close to being banned but wasn’t in the end. Mods are members here so I wont discuss. I login in about once a week to see if any of the Irish members have posted anything. Many reasons not to give this car a second look. That troll behind the wheel. It’s not a Super GT. As far as I’m concerned it’s not a GT2 engine. It’s… ah I just don’t care. The true value of that car, as far as I’m concerned, is whatever a 2003 Z on it’s second engine is now.
