Today in "people that need to have their tools taken away"
You have made random stuff and attached to your car before though I can remember this :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

New Road Tax rules arriving this April..........sweet.
That being said PCP is a decent choice if you want lower monthly payments. But it is FAR FAR FAR from safe! 1. The GFV is only guaranteed if you want to buy the car off the finance company. It is not an agreed part exchange price. A lot of shady salespeople will sell it to you by telling you that though so be careful. 2. I can almost guarantee if you have bought something German or French you will be in negative equity at the end of the PCP, so be prepared to hand the car back to the finance company and start again. 3. If you do end up having to hand the car back, there are big charges if you have exceeded your mileage allowance, lost a key, lost handbooks, scratched the car etc etc. I have known a finance company asking for £200 to replace handbooks before.

If it's a PCP you do not own the car until that balloon payment is paid at the end. PCP and HP are nothing like a loan. They are attached to the car and the finance company own it until you have paid the balance in full. A loan that you get from the bank and use to pay for the car in cash is the only way to 'own' the car from day 1.

The car shouldn't be taxed, why should I pay £540 odd quid a year for my VXR8 that I do about 1500 miles a year in when a rep clocking 20k a year in his shitty stinking diesel VW or Audi pays a fraction of that. It should all go on at the pumps. The more fuel you buy the more damage you are doing to the environment. Simples

End of the "Pit Girls"
I know, just goes goes to show we are truly going backwards in a lot of areas

End of the "Pit Girls"
I love women, they are prettier than us! That is why there are jobs and roles like this for them! The only people against grid girls are those girls without the looks and white knights (like Chris) that get offended on their behalf! I thought losing Concorde was bad enough but all this is starting to get ridiculous now

FunkySi's dream car...?
Thats nothing but scrap to be honest. Can't believe someone has put a £2k bid on it....is Ray Charles in the market for a car?

End of the "Pit Girls"
Hang on, did you all just assume their gender??? How sure are you that they identify as girls or women???

Worst tunes/songs
Adele and Ed Sheeran both need to go in the bin. Both absolutely shocking music especially the former
-
Worst tunes/songs
Gerry and The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone By far the worst. Not even going to link the video because I don't want it in my Youtube History.

Back in the market...
Haha true, although most of the popular mods have been done already. Its cammed, OTR intake, full wortec system, pedders coilovers etc etc. It's a very noisy animal

Popular Zeds and where they are now
What about that minted bloke that spent a fortune on a white one from scratch, he even made his own website. I'm sure Jimmer built the engine and it had Emerald management. I could be wrong - - - Updated - - - It had rainbow effect wheels
-
Back in the market...
The VXR8 doesn't need anything though and is a turn key and go car. I wan't a little project on the side, I chose a 300 because I do still like them haha
-
Back in the market...
Yeah way too much, I want a cheap project as I have my main car already. I just want something to fiddle about with on the side
-
So which is the best Z ?
The 350Z is a cracking car, I used to sell them new so I would know. May be a tiny bit slower with both in stock form but by no means a bad car. Its the looks department that let the 350 down imo
-
Back in the market...
So I am on the look out for a Z32 project. My only requirements are that it is a manual twin turbo, not bothered about wheelbase, not bothered about colour and condition I am flexible. I don't want an absolute rat but don't mind a little bit of rot or paint. Doesn't have to have an MOT either but I wont pay silly money for one without. So please let me know if you have anything

Pushing Tin is a good film

So which is the best Z ?
I would go with the 240Z to be honest. I still have fond memories of the Z32s I have owned (well maybe not the slow NA) but the 240Z was always the car I really wanted.

Car insurance
Admiral are brilliant with the newer stuff. My insurance with them is £325 per year with mods declared, no one could get anywhere near on the comparison websites. I think the next cheapest was e sure at £450.

Happy New Year
Happy new year old friends.

New owner looking for some recommendations
Exactly the same size as that! I'm interested. I'd rather pay £350 for two like. I think the VXR8 OE was 275/35/R19 Potenzas though so I may go down that route too - - - Updated - - - Rather pay £450 for two I meant.
-
New owner looking for some recommendations
I'm going to have to buy two rear Bridgestone Potenzas in the new year for mine at £300 a corner! But like Simon just said, don't get tight when it comes to buying rubber!

Probably a duplicate post, but wow ....
I don't think i've ever seen a worse front end on a car mind you apart from a Fiat Multipla!
