General Discussions - Non 300ZX

So this morning had my first direct experience at an IPO station (Inspecção Périodica Obrigatória), which is the same as the UK MOT stations. What a great system, efficient, transparent and only 30 euro Four cars been done at the same time on a drive through system, the level of checking was impressive as was the testers careful care of the cars. Bang up to date with shaker plates, linked computers, cctv, emission testing done and displayed on big screens and the testers had mics on taking to the office, the paperwork is done instantly and ready to collect with the car on the way out. Impressed !! Oh and yes a pass Jeff

Putting my rebuild on hold for a month and a bit as the work for my garage gets under way. Working out costs and building regulations but plan is to take out approx. 130ft of hedge, replace that with a nice new ranch board style fence then build a 22ft by 20ft zed garage at the back of the garden. Trying to get it as wide as possible up to the fence but really would like to skip on the fence at the back and just build the garage from breeze block unto the edge of the garden. The back end of the garden only measures about 18ft but the hedges are nearly 5ft wide at the back so we will be gaining another 5ft after they are gone. Here's a nice pic fr…

As title really, whilst looking what is available for the M6 exhaust wise came across these babies..... look a tad tricky to fit :ohmy: Jeff

This fine vessel was home for me, my wife and daughter for the last week. :boat: We spent our time traveling a small part of our fine British Waterways in glorious weather. Some of the landscape and views are stunning, and virtually inaccessible any other way, apart from aviation that is. (ideal if hot air ballooning for example) It is a bit of a brutal detachment from modern living mind, what with limited services such as WiFi, Broadband, etc' etc'. (A bit of a blessing if I was honest)

So....had the Pathie in for a service last June. The Head Mechanic came out to commend me on having such a clean and tidy car. That he and the Sales Manager had had a good look around it and were extremely impressed, so much so, that the Sales Manager offered me a deal I couldn't really refuse. The garage owners own personal car, that then goes as the demonstration model. 11k kms, Top Spec model in a seven speed CVT, has everything from lane assist, panoramic glass roof, Sat-Nav, cream leather heated seats etc, over €10k off the new price with another decent trade-in offer on top. Needless to say Jo is delighted, as it's going to be her car and I'll take her 09 Outlander …

91 not a bad innings.

Nice to see you to see you nice.

Has anyone shipped an interior recently? I'm looking to ship two front seats & rear seats. Can only find Paisley Freight who would do it. Is there any other courier companies?

Have rules changed? Do you still have to have a donor vehicle Mot'd to be able to transfer number to another vehicle or put on retention? In the past that's what you had to do to take the number of a barn find/rust bucket but think the rules may have changed but can't find it on DVLA site & no offices now of course!!

The reason I have been a bit quiet over some months, Bills cancer came back after xmas, and after a very tough battle borne with great dignity he passed away last Saturday morning at home in my arms. We were only 8 short years together but he was the love of my life, even at this old age. I know some of you met him and he was a really good man, fun, generous and full of life. While Bill knew absolutely nothing about cars especially Zs he fully supported my interest in them. Also on another sad note for those that remember him I had only heard a few weeks ago that Chewie also lost his wife Adelle in April.

Ever since I watched the exploration of the moon back in the sixties and seventies, I have always dreamt of owning an Omega Moonwatch. Well, several years later, (and I meen several) I have finally realised my dream, thanks to my bosses generosity in allowing me to choose a watch for my 25 years of dedicated service. I cannot thank them enough. I could not believe the attention to detail and quality throughout, even the packaging and presentation boxes are immaculate. Cannot wait to adjust the bracelet and get the thing up and running.

I know some have already seen on Facebook but last Wednesday my Mrs gave birth to my daughter Alexandra. She was born at (wait for it....) 3:00hrs and weighed 3300kg!! (7lb 3) 300 came up quite a bit... It's already in her blood:lol: Now a week old, I'm just so chuffed. Both Jess and Alex doing well.

Just seen this on Facebook:scared: Think it might have been an old Audi TT

I am on a euro bike tour, blasting down to the Black Forest and back. Just checked the weather and.... :lol:

Very pleased with my new phone case.

The past week or so been having the screen shot below come up on some of my old posts, have checked on my Photobucket account and nothing changed in the settings, in fact my pics are working on some threads and other forums? weird one, any suggestions to fix it ? Regards Jeff

Our suppliers for the club shop held a 10 year anniversary BBQ at their premises on Friday so as you do I went over with the Z and enjoyed the atmosphere of car enthusiasts in the local area.

Hi why can't registered users reply to for sale post anymore there's no reply box anymore why has this been deleted thanks .

So my SSR 3 piece wheels will be going for a full refurb, question is, what finish should I go with?? These wheels are only a stop-gap until I decide what I want regarding brakes and setups (keep the 6 piston SRT8's and go 19's). If the brakes don't sell, the Veilsides will go on the red Z with the Porsche Brembo's and I'll go 19's on the blue Z with the SRT8 calipers, (19's would look better proportioned on a LWB than a SWB) So, question is ... do I get the centre's painted silver, gold, black, white, gunmetal, dark chrome etc and polish the rims, polish the rims and centre's or what?? Gold, chrome, black or black chrome bolts?? Probably sell these off in a …

This is Glastonbury where I live. Most know it for the infamous yearly music festival. It is however a very small ancient town in rural Somerset dating back some 6,000 years and is steeped in myth and legend. We had a visit from Thor last night to our ancient Isle of Avalon and someone snapped these awesome photos of the lightening beating down on Glastonbury Tor.

Heading off to Holland for the summer holidays, not many parking spots for most of the Long Term Car Park, found one and Caitlyn my daughter says to take a pic of where we parked, so we don't forget, :whistling: Took the pic and then realised I probably won't forget:clap: :punk::punk::punk: I'll take it as a good sign:yes:
