Hello, To my mind, a great car is one that when you have had a drive (either a good blast down a mountain pass, or just a trip to the shops) when you park up. You walk away and turn to look at YOUR car.... and think Yep I'm glad thats mine.. 8-) I did that regularly in my Z (and it was only a 2.2 bu...

Hello, I'm looking at buying an M roadster as a weekend / nice day car (limited millage to around 6k). Whats ths actual runing costs of 1) servicing, 2) Any independents near chester 3) What do I need to look out for on one (vanos??) Are 3rd party warrantys worth it and will they cover whats likely ...

Hello, I cannot comment on a Roadster, but I did have a MX5 with plastic rear screen several years ago, it was cold and I droped the roof back......crack...opps Think its probably a combination of a) the Cold b) worn plastic? Good thing with the MX5 was it was only around £70 to have fitted and look...

Mugen, At least you have had the Z3 first, I test drove a S2000 and will agree it is far more go cart like (compared to a 2.2 Z3). I was actually more impressed with the brakes than the performance, it didn't 'feel' that quick but sure it was.... I also think tto get the best out of it you need to b...

SLX 280

Hello, Have fun, I opted for a 2.2 when I had a Z, over a S2000 as I had always wanted a Z3. Its gone now....its been a year and I'm back looking.... I now have a sensible car but want one for the garage also... I remember blasting in the french alps, 2nd gear in the tunnels is cool, enjoy it Scott

SLX 280

Hello Doubt it will make much difference unless you do a lot of millage to work? If you buy something else you have the cost of that, tax, Mot, insurance and servicing to take into account. Work it out and your probably best putting the money you would have spent on the run-about in the bank plus th...

Hello,

How much would a traction control system cost to fit?.

Also what should I be looking at with 1998-1999 models??

thanks

SLX 280

Hello All, Its been over a year since my Z left me, and I bought a sensible car :( However I may now be having a re think and due to change of job do hardly any miles driving to work...and miss the Z. My Solution = M roadster for 'sunny and dry days' So I have a few questions, I'm sort of aware of t...

SLX 280

Have to admit that actually looks quite nice, although those wheels must be 19" if not 20" so guess 17's or lower would look a bit cr@p. In fact looking at the pictures they are probably just paintbrushed in, its difficult to even see a tyre...... like the quad pipes also :D nice 8-) Scott

OK, Finally found an Xbox on Saturday, thought it was a good deal, console, 2 controllers and need 4 speed underground 2 for £129. Already have a streering wheel etc ready for it.. My question...what car game has the 'ring' as a track in the race?.. Roll on Christmas, its already been hidden from me...

SLX 280

Yep,

with David on this IBIS are very good and are usually availabl at most citys, cost around £45 - £50, used them a few times when popped over to Frankfurt Motorshows.

Have a good trip..

SLX 280

Hello, If I could choose it would be the SLK350, mainly as the Z4 has yet to grow on me, don't get me wrong I'm warming to it but it never gives me that 'want one' feeling the Z3 did. As with both cars it does depend on spec, and both with the right (expensive) options are great cars. The roof on th...

SLX 280

Have you got Lead shoes, I would have thought that 30 ish mpg should be easy in this on a run, I don't know how the auto's on a Z work is there a sport or normal button, does it feel right (ie is it in top gear when criusing and not stuck in 3rd or something? What type of journey are you doing (if i...

SLX 280

Look at how your using the car, what sort of millage are you going to be doing?? 1) if its only a fun cruising 2nd car then the 2.8 easy 2) If your doing bigger then the 2.8 may not look as tempting, due to bigger depreciation over 100k and possible parts costs / servicing. Also fuel and insurance o...

Hello,

Hello,

I'm considering either the X box or PS2 as a Chrimbo present to myself, I've had various reports.

Basically I will probably only use it for car type games, I just want it set up in the loft (making it into a big boys den!!)

What do you reckon.. I think so far its the XBox..

cheers

Scott

SLX 280

Hello, I've driven both and have owned both, for that money your looking at a 1.9 Z, which is fine but will NOT drive like and mx5. Ok it has the 'badge' and if thats important then thats fine. If its a 2.8 Z (and for 8K it would be high millage? it may sway the choice) I would try to go for an MX5 ...

Mine worked out around £400 for a full set of 225/17's and 245/17's from a place near Wrexham.

Given the value of your car now...roughly 8k and the fact its the wrong time of year, I's suggest you keep it until early next summer. Another few thousand miles shouldn't make too much difference if any and as Robin says the 'sun' hopefully next year will even that out when you want to sell. Its a ...

Hello...

Looking at these nitro powered radio control cars as a present (to me

If the item is £150 WITH postage whats the import tax is it a percentage such as VAT?
