I beg to differ.

Not a fan of either. Stevie, just kill it! :)

Drove it, drove it some more. Met up with a mate of mine this morning in his 350z and then spent the afternoon over at Jimmer's drinking tea, eating biscuits and having a laugh.

235 on a 9" wheel isn't right unless you're going for that awkward looking 'stretched' look. With a 9" wide wheel, you want 265 or 275.

Rid the world of it!! DO IT NOW!! :)

Go for it! 50 mins is a pretty decent time for a beginner. I'm doing my first half marathon in March. I've only ever really done 10k runs. Eeeeek!

The only thing I like about that Z is the front bumper. Ancient old V8 auto.....doubt it feels all that quick. I've driven a few old shape Corvettes and they felt a little lazy. I'd have rather kept the V6 NA in it. lol

Yup, as Lee has said, no matter what orientation, the handbrake levers are on the right hand side. I can't stand the red interior. I don't know what's worse though, the tan or the red. Late model tan interiors were a little nicer as they had black dashes and door card cappings.

Gauges. It's about the ONLY thing I'd put there if I didn't have a double-din head unit. Turbo timers IMO are a complete waste of time. Drive your car correctly, and you won't need one. Oil cools down far more quickly and circulates far better if you just cruise off boost and then you don't have to leave it idling for 10 minutes.

So did Vauxhall in the 1980s. lol

Please don't tell me you're getting someone else to fit the scuttle trim and window trim? lol

On that basis then, I HIGHLY recommend painting the roof bars GLOSS black. For starters it matches the black bits on the windows and the glass itself which is shiny, not satin! It'll give a MUCH cleaner look.

Thanks for the link. Computer says 'no bueno'. They're fully booked for 28th-30th

Thanks for the information. So glad everything is walking distance. Was never too sure how compact the centre of Rome actually was. Noted re: clothing in the Vatican. Just looking at hotels at the moment. City centre ones are silly prices, but some are rather nice. Probably look at getting one slightly out of the centre that's on a tube route, or close-to.

Awesome! Thanks for that. We're only there for 3 days, so hoping we can cram that lot in without getting too exhausted. Both of us are extremely fit, so walking around is absolutely no problem. It was time in getting to places I was more concerned about.

Heading to Rome the weekend after next for a long weekend. I've been to Italy a number of times, just never Rome. I am not wasting my time renting a car, but will look at using their (supposedly) rather good public transport which consists of a tube and tram network. I know you can buy passes etc. Just wondering if anyone has been and how good this system is? Not planning on doing too much, but would be interested in the main areas...so if anyone can recommend a good shopping district, a few attractions (I know the Colosseum and Vatican etc). Any other info would be of course be most welcome. Gives me a starting point at least. Cheers

Bwahahah ahahaha hahahhahhaha :lol: I just snarled tea and mucus out of my nostrils! :rofl:

Certainly does NOT spoil it. TT fascia looks infinitely better than the rather basic looking NA bumper.

:rofl: :lol: :p

No, it's cause everyone thinks he's a c***! hahaha :p

I actually quite like the colour. The bodykit + smoothed/filler in the quarter/skirt arrangement I am not a fan of in the slightest I'm afraid.

Noooooooo, don't do it!!!
