Just top it up with any old 5w30 you can get, as long as it's fully synthetic.

Indeed, and if you're fine with the tax they pay then you end up getting stung regardless, just because you like skinny lattes. Or maybe Starbucks would reduce the stores they have, so jobs would be lost and PAYE tax income goes down. Or they source more things from outside the UK to save a few more quid, thus having more money leave the country.

They're still here because it's cheaper than going elsewhere If that changed then yes, they'd have to either leave or increase prices. Starbucks, for example. If they need to find another £500M, there'll just increase the price of their skinny latte by a pound, which means that actually the public are worse off.

Yup, absolutely the same. The rules are the rules, if you don't like them then change them, but then don't be surprised when companies take their business elsewhere.

No issues with it at all. The rules are the rules, and if we change them to start making people pay more tax they'll just take their money elsewhere altogether. If I could be bothered to set something up myself, I'd do it too. So would most people, apart from the very staunch comrades. Cameron has done nothing wrong that I can see.

Like that Please fix the fuel cap though if you get it

So much stuff to do in London that's better than watching cars parked up. Go to a museum, or have a walk along the South bank, or Covent Garden, or take in a gallery. Lots to see and do, sod walking around hoping to spot a car sat there doing bugger all London is amazing. I live so close yet I've barely scratched the surface of things to do.

In the bigger picture though, if the Chinese bring in £100Bn of investment because we let our steel go under, then it's good value. Trident is a different story altogether, I couldn't care how many jobs it saves, I want it for the deterrent more than anything. I didn't know about the UK blocking the Chinese steel levy though, but that's a good example of how we're happy to use the EU rules to help ourselves and it's not always them dictating to us what we do... I don't get the fuss about the leaflet thing, £9M is peanuts and given that there's a glut of anti-EU propaganda around, I'm glad that there's something there to balance it up. I don't think the leaflet itself is much good mind, but the theory behind it is sound. I'd actually like it if the Out had £9M of money to send leaflets round as well, in the same format, to at least give people half a chance at making an informed non-DM influenced decision.

You could, y'know, think about actually driving the bloody thing!

As long as you're aware that will promote oversteer initially and in unstable conditions, it's not a bad way to go.

Agreed. Good cars, but I still think the hype train is carrying them a bit. In a couple of years maybe a V6S could be a reasonable buy, but I'd sit back and watch values for a bit too. With the R8, it depends how long you plan to keep it. If you can buy one that's had the clutch and brakes done, there should be nothing else to do for a good 40k miles aside from routine servicing. Might not cost you anything to run, relatively speaking.

Hooray, common sense prevails!

Running mixed tyres across an axle is a huge no-no. Unless you're literally driving to the end of your drive and back, you're just asking for trouble doing that.

Tbh if you're thinking of tracking your car you should aim to make it as quiet as possible. Put the cats and stock back box on for the day, trackdays aren't about the very last horsepower and we as enthusiasts should make sure we don't give the NIMBYs any more ammo.

Even better, do that instead.

997.1 C2S /predictable Still a better car and experience than the E92 M3. Which is a great car as well.

Anytime bud

Can't see it being that hard. Plenty of room to tuck wires behind the dash once the console is out, then run it up the a-pillar trim (just tuck it inside) and then stick it in one of the corners.

AIUI, you'll need to wire a brand new aerial in and keep it separate from the existing. You can get universal splitters, but they're hit and miss at best. Best to get a completely separate one and attach it to the inside of the windscreen somewhere

Top of the forum you posted in! http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/15611-what-you-need-to-upgrade-your-350z-audio-system/ And yes, you'll need a DAB aerial I believe.

Might not even have happened if it didn't have a cover on though, the cover might be what led them to it in the first place. Swings and roundabouts though.

Sadly not, no. I would (and have) considered buying an R34 GTT, but no matter how pretty I find the RX7 I don't want that kind of hassle looking after a car. If I did, I'd get a TVR and have the better driving experience.

You want more understeer, go buy a FWD scrabble wagon then

Sorry, it was more a dig at Nissan for setting a dull geo, a quiet exhaust and a thirsty engine rather than insulting owners or drivers
