Hi Nick. I remember your Zed from 350z-uk.com. You keeping well, mate?Originally Posted by NickMSM
Not too bad cheers - Did we ever meet any any of the shows? Does Valerio still have his Zed? I haven't been on the site for donkeys nowOriginally Posted by Digsy
Big respect to anyone who drives a Trevor every day. Apparently, you do get less problems that way though. Lovely motor.Originally Posted by Shaun
I don't think we met, Nick - you're from way down South IIRC.Originally Posted by NickMSM
Val threw his toys out of the pram a few years ago when he realised it wasn't his personal site and went off and TT'd his Zed on his lonesome - it was on PH recently as he was on his way back to Italy.
The site's gone from strength to strength. You must pop in and say hi!

Very M5 territory I would say... you might want to think about that if it really does feel slow.
Lovely - I've had two. 8)
Get yourself onto http://www.350z-uk.com - a great, friendly site with tons of info, meets, drives and banter.
Ah now that's more like it... back to your Hairdressing roots :twisted:Originally Posted by alexaff

And for sunny days :lol::
Faster than walking, has an excellent in-built cloaking device that hides it from following cars (ie exhaust smoke), but big enough to haul band gear around in (actually I do like it!).
No way will that Jap car go as quick as the M5, it would need supercharging minimum :shock:Originally Posted by PeterM
I believe that to be true also. The one I've bought was in daily use (good) but hadn't turned a wheel in over two years prior to me getting it (not good). :roll:Originally Posted by Digsy
But am having fun slowly working my way through the 'to do' list on her........... :D

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
There are a number of supercharged and twin turbo'd 350Z's knocking around now. I agree that you'd need something like that to go M5-hunting.Originally Posted by gilford
Easily, the M5 is 500+ bhp and 200+ mph as standard, it would spank the 350z silly :DOriginally Posted by Digsy
I went from an M5 to an E92 M3 with 430bhp and I can feel the difference at certain speeds :shock:
The M5 is an epic car, its just a shame it drank fuel like it was going out of fashion and looked so fugly
The M5 was a thirsty monster, i only work about 3 miles from where i work andOriginally Posted by gilford
i was putting £30 in every other day, cheaper to get a taxi :D
Glad i owned one for a while though. The 350Z is a reliable little motor that the
Mrs loves so has got me some "anal" i mean brownie points.
Mine too especially at the moment, but when I do finally get out of plaster I'm looking forward to having a play with theseOriginally Posted by ktmog6uk
both on the road and (more likely next year now) in their more natural habitat

Wanted - Damasko DC57
I've been meaning to ask this for a while. How have you got TUV markings in the middle of your licence plate? Is it legal, or are you from Gera?
Slightly less than fully legal, or so I've been told, but then again if I do get stopped the least of my problems is likely to be my plates :DOriginally Posted by Carlton-Browne
I just think they look cool & right on a left hooker.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Sicher :). (I agree)
I didn't really say otherwise. I'm merely saying that if Alex is finding his a tad slow, then he can add some impressive pedal power more like what he was used to. I was quite amazed at what was achievable bearing in mind I took the take the pi$$ out of my mate's "Datsun" when he got it.Originally Posted by gilford
This weekend I had a quick blat in one of these...

Westy, I think I have been to that place, had a go in those two as well as the AM and Porsche, was a fun day to say the least!
Some amazing cars on this thread, good to see the forums taste in cars is as good as its taste in watches ;)
Nothing quite as exotic over here (borrowed pic):
Mondeo ST TDCI :)
Not as nice as the one on page 1, but good enough for me/us
Oh dear, bless him :lol: Yes I'll pop on there at some point and say hello!Originally Posted by Digsy

Morgan Aero, got a BMW V8 if memory serves.
Doesn't the Hamster from Top Gear have one? :)
He did until be bent it! :lol:Originally Posted by GraniteQuarry
Lovely cars. I remember seeing one race at LeMans in I think 2003. When it finished (which nobody expected) the whole crowd roared and cheered it past the finish line (in stoney last place of all the finishers). It was fantastic, and I love them very much.
Thanks, yep its a Morgan Aero 8, SIII, its got a BMW 4.4 V8, weighs just over a ton (with out me in it!), and sound like a spitfire!Originally Posted by triumph coupe
Hammond has/had an Aeromax, slightly different, has a roof & was a limited run of 100, for sale here if your interested http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/dealersites/sgt/used/3266
gilford - Kids no problem, give's you an excuse to buy one of these
Gorgeous car, sir! 8)Originally Posted by m8ttc
Is the SIII the one with the Mini rather than Beetle lights?
Yeah, the SI & SII had the Beetle lights, gave them the "I've just hit a tree" cross eyed look :lol: I had an SI for 3 years, changed about a year ago to this one!Originally Posted by Digsy
Until recently this...
Now this... hopefully this won't get stuck if / when it snows.
What do I drive - one of these:
which gets thrashed and treated like a workhorse for work - sadly a reflection on most of the watches I own, which tend to be a collection of beaters.
Well on sunny days

that pedal car's worth more than my daily driver :shock:
cheers,mick
That plate is awesome! The car itself is of course very impressive but I think the plate definitely finishes it well. Congrats on a great package...one day 8)Originally Posted by andy tims
Superb car - makes you proud to be British.Originally Posted by mickylall
I was at Silverstone in 2009 when Morgan took 1st in the GT3 - brilliant. :occasion5:
If only we could make a British engine to go in it.
Seem to recall we did make engines once upon a time :(
Love a go in a Spartan, does it live in the garage?Originally Posted by ratty
, It's on the driveway.Originally Posted by sestrel
Bikes live in the garage :wink:
I believe there is a strong argument for that being what killed TVR.Originally Posted by sestrel
You need volume to make a great engine, otherwise either the cost will be prohibitive or the quality will be lacking. Similar to watch makers buying in movements.
When travelling with the Mrs. and the baby (not many faster cars that can accommodate a child seat, ha!):
When travelling alone (or with other motorcycle friends, such as on this ride through the Angeles mountains in Southern California). It's a Triumph, in case you can't make out the name on the tank, a good choice for an ex-pat Brit like me...
Kavmobile. :D
no pics but Ive got a glacier white clio 197 cup. Custom leather retrim and a hertz/rainbow ICE setup :mrgreen:
This thing has just arrived:
At my age, I should have got over "hot hatches", but noooooo :roll: :D

Nice one Stern. What's "under the hood"? :)
