There she is with her arse hanging out......😊
Apparently the subframe in 350 was aluminium and 370 is steel, so i thought best to sort it out early on and futureproof it best i can....
And a shot of the Stillen intake being fitted.....

Wow that's a big job 'just in case'!

Re motorbikes - you are a definite petrolhead. I have a CB750K6 and a Tiger 660. I had a 40 year break from bikes (I'm 72 in July) but it didn't take long to get back into biking. It's so much easier to store, work on and buy bikes. It's also a social thing in good weather to meet up with like minded people.

Beautiful looking cars there Rob....very clean!
Which is your fav and for what reasons....?
My favourite out of the two is hard to say. The 370 is far better quality inside and more powerful (but that's not too important for road driving IMO). I didn't like the way I felt the huge wheels and tyres dominated the driving experience - bulky, tramlining, kerbing, road noise, tyre scrubbing on full lock etc. My 350 was a nicer car to drive and see out of but the stupid rear brace was a pain.

However my favourite drivers cars have to be my early cars 240/260. A modified 240Z handles so well and gives you feel and confidence you can only dream about in the later heavier cars.

Yes bikes are dangerous and you are very vulnerable. However I also ride a pushbike and I find that more scary - drivers just want to pass you ASAP even on blind bends!
