Rich Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 That's not a nail is it, cut with a stone/glass maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Inch long split, think a screw flat in between the tread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Apart from the hole are the cords exposed along the cut? If not the cut is cosmetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I wouldnt feel safe repairing it and then doing 150mph plus in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well i understand but in truth it's no different than a cuts in the tread but saying that at 150mph it might get my one eye twitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Went to a couple of events over the weekend , firstly a Holden/Vauxhall V8 event , I keep coming back to these cars even though I wasnt impressed by the new one I test drove I had a spin in a 500 hp VXR8 on Saturday and it felt proper quick so thinking its time to change , the 370z is still so difficult to live with , the supercharger makes it quick with little difference is average consumption and its trouble free , cant put my finger on it but its not floating my baot at the moment Went to Rockingham to the Niss Show on sunday and it was a bit disappointing, hardly any stands or stalls and not many cars on track , wont be going again Did have a situation like this though coming back from Rockingham when i shocked the hell out of a speeding biker , not truck at the end though just a cheery wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Shame the 370Z isn't quite working for you, could it be that it's just too good at what it does which makes it a bit soulless? May have discussed this before but have you considered the new Mustang? It's surely quite crude but a stonking V8 and great looks make it an appealing package.

Rich Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Did you not test drive the GTR, which you were saving up for or is that not happening now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cant get there, much as i'd like to, they are £80k. Thats a hell of a lot of money tied up in a weekend car also , its just doesnt seems worthwhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Fair point about the mustang, haven't seen one inside yet but can't imagine it's anything to get excited about. If it's only a weekend car, not tempted to get something a bit more exotic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Exotics dont really do it for me , i like understated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Exotics dont really do it for me , i like understated I get that, although I wouldn't really call a 370Z understated! Is the Jag F Type or Maser Granturismo too flashy too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Frightened of the bills with the Masser . The F type is an obvious choice but i want something bigger really , also they are very common around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F type is an obvious choice but i want something bigger really , also they are very common around here Agree on the F Type being quite common now. The running costs on a Maser are not actually that bad if you buy well (an inspection is a must) and use a good indie - if you're interested I can put you in touch with the guy who looks after my car about potential running costs. They're generally quite reliable and even parts aren't too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
