    I don't think we met, Nick - you're from way down South IIRC.

    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!

    A mate recently remapped his and got a new exhaust - it is blindingly quick :shock:

    Very M5 territory I would say... you might want to think about that if it really does feel slow.

    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!).

    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:

    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.

    Easily, the M5 is 500+ bhp and 200+ mph as standard, it would spank the 350z silly :D

    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 and
    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.

    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 :D

    I just think they look cool & right on a left hooker.

    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.

    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 ;)

    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.

    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!

    I believe there is a strong argument for that being what killed TVR.

    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.

    Re: What do you drive?

    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...
