  1. MB called, they want the front of the AMG-GT back.
  2. I'm expecting generic supercar looks, and a naff interior. TVR should've been left to die and the wonderful memories they gave us. For me, £100k+ isn't a TVR.
  3. Amen fellow V8 brother!
  4. Most things can be sorted in PP with the right software, ironically that's why the GoPro is so good as it records in a friendly RAW file. As long as you're not shooting night stuff, I'm not sure I'd be too fussed at the lens quality: At that price it's all much of a muchness. When I used to film stuff with my GP externally then as soon as it was in the sealed case wind noise became much less of an issue, so a decent case would be a must OR a shielded mic. @StevoD has some good experience with his cam and the ext mic, be interested to hear his views.
  5. So basically the HR is for sports car people, the DE is for diesel people I had a Revup, so I've no idea where that leaves me
  6. HR feels significantly quicker than any DE I've ever driven, FI cars aside of course. The extra 1000/500 revs makes so much difference to the experience. Is it much quicker? Well no, driver will make more difference than a few poxy bhp here and there, but the HR is far more exciting to drive.
  7. I think it needs a few more Z badges on the car, I'm not entirely sure what it is. But yeah, that's upside down. It also looks a bit naff dude tbh, as does the one above the stereo (which I've only just clocked!). It's bright yellow already, it doesn't need more stuff thrown at it to be attention grabbing.
  8. Looks fine to me. Plus, the detailing on the Rays ties in with the door handles, which is a good thing as the handles look a bit odd otherwise. Function over form anyway.
  9. You sold it for miles too little then, £700 is a much more sensible price.
  10. That's an utter bargain of a car for that price, good find! Extra VED is nothing compared to the fuel costs, it's the equivalent of an extra pint of beer a week. I wouldn't let that affect my judgement at all.
  11. He's getting better taste then, at least. I mean, not enough taste to not be driving a Beetle, but better.
  12. You're wrong. MPSS -> MPS4 -> MPS4S The multi-compound of the MPS4 makes for more grip & feel over the MPSS.
  13. You'd still need to declare the install, even if no bottle fitted. Quite how an insurer would choose to define that risk I don't know, but certainly if you're intending on having any of it on display I definitely wouldn't risk it. Plus, if you have a big accident and then a guy comes out to inspect the damage, they'll be very quick to invalidate your cover when they see you have a kit installed, even if there's no bottle. I suspect you'd have a hard time in court not sounding like an extra from a FnF film too, should you try and argue your case. For me, that's not something small that you could get away with, like a lightened flywheel. It'll be fairly obvious what it is, even at a cursory glance.
  14. MPS4 is better than MPSS by every account I've heard.
  15. Had them on my 350, wouldn't bother if I were you. They look a bit crap when up close, just get them painted either black or body colour IMHO
  16. What are you after in particular? Nothing a U.K. Supplier can't get you?
  17. Thirsty Gallagher Still, being three times over the limit the next day means she had a really decent sesh the night before. Idiot.
  18. That's a very exact amount, most people would say either £4500 or £5000. My concern for you would be budget to actually run & maintain it, rather than whether you'll find a car in the first place. Can you afford 23 mpg at £1.30 a litre? Then there's clutches, suspension parts, tyres etc all of which the 350 likes to eat a lot of. Apologies for any general assumptions here, it's just how your post comes across.
  19. I only get to make Lego jokes as I used to have one
  20. Not at all, I'm jealous of folks from that part of the world. I'd be a much better swimmer if I had the webbed feet they do.
  21. I remember when I went from VXR220 to the 350Z, my insurer at the time was happy to cover a significantly modified limited edition plastic bathtub from Norfolk but wouldn't cover a standard mass-produced Japanese lump!
