Not a competitor for the 350Z then!

It looks like a cross between a bus and a transit van. Hideous!

Hi NB,

I haven't seen it yet, but I have taped it. PT me if you want to borrow the tape once I've done watching it.

Regards,
Steve.

Steve,

thank you for the kind offer, however the Cube isn't really the kind of vehicle I am looking for, now if you have a copy of the episode with the 350Z I would be very interested.

Sorry NB, I usually watch the program 'live' but was out on Sunday so taped it instead. Just the one available.

It's just like back issues of magazines isn't it? - They've never got the one you want.

Regards,
Steve.

I believe it should be up here soon, if not already (sorry, I have no idea which episode you want). I've never used BitTorrent, so you'll have to get someone else to clue you in if it's not straightforward.

Thanks Mekon,

I had a good look but was unable to download the relevant episode!

Technology eh?

NB,

I'm pretty sure I saw Clarkson reviewing the 350Z ages ago. He hated it. something along the lines of "it's fast, but it feels slow".

They just showed the episode with both 350Z and RX8 here in Sweden. With Clarksons usual manner it was impossible to tell if he liked them or not, and honestly, I don't care much of his thoughts.
Anyway, the new Stig drove both of them around the autodrome at exactly the same time as BMW M3. Allways fun when a "king" is dethroned.

Comparred to my old car it is slow but then realistically now days when do you get the chance to use a really fast car?

I forsee a 'My throttle hit the floor' thread, and an ever increasing list of Nismo parts in your future.

Mekon,

I prefer HKS part's they do a very nice air filter, exhaust and Turbo kit for those that think 276 bhp just isn't enough.

I did a list of HKS parts on my old Supra for the new owner to declare to his insurance company (pah!) and it was endless!

The worsr part of choosing specks for my new car is going to be what speakers to have in the car!
