The Toyobaru is selling pretty well, certainly Toyota are more than happy with sales, hence why I referred to it specifically. I'd say things are starting to turn back towards the purist tbh when it comes to fun cars: Porsche u-turn quicker than a Tory prime minister when it came to the manual on the GT3, Renault selling nowhere near as many Clio RS because the dual-clutcher is dreadful, Ford forging the way with a manual V8 Mustang in the UK and selling bags of them, Mazda showing some real innovation with their SkyActiv engines in the MX5... I know it's a drop in the ocean, but then all specialist fun cars are these days. I genuinely think we're coming to a crossroads soon where the option will be hybrid or electric only generic SUV/saloon with an autobox, and the real interesting stuff will be coming with proper engines and a stick. That's always made sense to me, especially as most households these days have at least two cars. Don't they? I've never really seen the point of flogging a dead horse for the sake of keeping a brand name alive, and certainly I've no issue with the Z brand dying off. If Nissan want to make a 2 seater coupe with an I4T lump, then they can go ahead but please drop the Z and create something new so people don't need to make the connection.

So yay for more Juke Nismos!

Not a pretty car, is it? Now if only the ACO would configure their regs so that these things could race in the LM24 as the top tier, that would be pretty f***ing special indeed.

Totally called it. It might come back in a few years as a sporty hybrid thing, but it's not a popular segment right now. The Toyobaru had the costs split between two manufacturers, but can Renault afford to make a new Z all by itself when the sell through numbers are likely to be low? I doubt it. The GT-R is the Nissan sports car future as they can get away with six figure sums for them now. Besides, if a new Zed meant it would have to come with an inline boosted four then I think we're better off as we are.

I don't feel anonymous in my BMW

Ironically in a smaller car you're a smaller target...

Easy, bumper off and cut a piece for the inside, then screw/glue it to the bumper

I'd replace an air filter annually anyway, it's peanuts and the job it does is critical. Plus, with the oiled filters it's very easy to overoil and ruin your £££ MAFs, so another reason to replace rather than clear.

Better, I must admit, but still looks a bit odd. And get some mesh on that front grill before you destroy that rad

I'm not a huge fan of the v3 front, but that does look much better to my eyes. Got any other angles of the smoothed stock bumper RBOAP?

I agree with MDMetal, remove the lot and start again.

Ooh no, don't like that at all, sorry! It's still got a really odd angle in it, why did you not smooth it out fully?

Because hypnodrone

Gotta be a typo, look like 295 and 265 to me. Quite like the quad pipes on a black Zed too, nice one.

The rear of the new Disco makes my eyes go funny. Whoever thought that was an aesthetically good idea needs shooting. It's much, much worse than any of the BMW X range. X6 included.

I hate to call you a liar, but... Also, *corrected My vote goes to Mr Wrong

Oh yes.

Now that is how you write a brake review. Excellent job mate, really enjoyed that.

GRAMMAPOCALYPSE

Ah but dear sir, you've missed the real genius: They deliberately give you bits that are silly or ugly so that you're forced to raid the options list to get something that's actually practical/decent looking Porsche do a fantastic job of the same on the Macan with that side grey strip, looks so much better in body colour but of course that's £££ please sir...

I think I ended up with quadrillions killed in the end, mostly by drift. Don't sweat it, just adjust the points so that they're quicker and more powerful in combat before you send them out again. Also prioritise replication, so you don't have to do it yourself.

Shame it's FWD. It's actually okay otherwise. And it's you're, not your. So you're wrong

Tokyo motor show is on this week too btw, not a Z in sight

Good man! If you need any help drafting a legalese letter, give me a shout and I’m happy to offer assistance

Envy Filler Killer is the best wipe down product I’ve ever used for doing what IPA does, but better. Smells nicer too!
