Tighter turning circle.

Think about new shocks and springs all round. Maybe new or uprated front barkes. Then up the boost, re-map, exhaust, air filter.

mine cuts in a fraction below 130mph - wierd but it's definitely an electronic limiter. I think a conzult should tell you about it

Yep stick with kph - you get used to it quickly. Doesn't cause problems with the power steering too that way.

I don't have a copy to put up. :nelson: That was proper party antics, that night. :bow:

True! And you haven't even seen the Vinz JAE vodka teeth pictures! :rofl:

Keep most of them in the fridge for longevity. But keep one or two in the fruit bowl as they're a bit nasty when they're cold. When you eat one from the fruit bowl, replace it with one from the fridge.

That is a lovely looking car and a desirable variant. Get insurance quotes sooner rather than later IMHO.

I'd go for the atmosphere and getting off me head. Getting tickets is a PITA.

Looks like a nice example. You must be chuffed.

I've used Limewire for some time with no problems. It doesn't seem to find as many music tracks as it used to when I search - I dunno if there's some sort of blokcing technology out there. I might try one of thes other programmes.

Good work Vinz - you're down with the kids :bow:

The man the :duffer: was named after!

Something similar happened to me when parachuting into Belize on a special op in the 70s. I steered into a haystack, was unharmned and then made love to a busty local girl who was very impressed. ;)

Clucking bell! Lol @: The Mail on Sunday branding next to ads for sexy girls int their underwear. and "Are you alright?" "no" Amazing vid.

TO convert a NA to a TT it's about £2K labour plus the parts - you could get a crashed donor car for about £1500 and sell what you don't use. Still looking at £3K +++++++ unless you can do the job yourself. It's not worth it unless there's a special reason (ie you want a convertible TT).

lol I'm not expecting 40mpg. I'm just thinking 1-3% difference maybe? I wouldn't change wheels for this reason. I like the fact I can take it easy on a long run and get near to 30mpg - or cane it and get less than 15.

Happy birthday Jay :duffer:

Larger rolling radius therefore higher gearing, therefore better fuel consumption? I recon so - although the speedo / odo won't show it as it's altered by the same amount too. But... I guess big wheels may be wider and heavier which would be bad for fuel economy, as would be over gearing. What do you think?

Put a picture up at least.

Hmmm... you can get a really late (1998/99) 840 for about £10K.... a lot of car for the money! I bet running costs aren't cheap though.

Lol - each to their own! I parked my Zed next to one and the Merc made the Nissan look like a nasty, cheap, little toy. They arew huge and have real presence. And a 5 litre V8. I'm not a fan of the SL55's looks - but I'd have one for the performance.

I'd quite fancy a CL500. You can get a 2001 one for under £20K. Not cheap but not insanely expensive.

If it was really mint and straight I'd offer them £4K and go up to £5K at a push. They may give you a warranty bookelt with various terms and conditions which may have exclusions. But your normal consumer rights say if it sufferes a major mechanical problem in the first 3-6 months they'll have to sort it. It's peace of mind that someone isn't moving on a car that's about to go pop. Check when the cambelt service was done - it's 60,000 OR every 5 years. As a private sale it'd be worth £3500 max I'd say - although it's hard to put figures on a car without seeing it. It might be a total shed.

If it was absolutely mint with complete service history it might be worth £4000-£5000 at a push. Autos never fetch quite as much as manuals. If you buy from a garage they have to rectify any faults that occur in the first six months - which could be worth a lot.
