Hi, If you are, is there any possibilty you could pick up a plenum for us that Johnny is bringing down for me?

So here's an old joke.... A bloke is browsing in a pet shop and sees a parrot sitting on a little perch. It doesn't have any feet or legs. The guy says aloud "Bloody hell!. I wonder what happened to this parrot? The parrot says, "I was born this way. I'm a defective parrot". "Holy smoke", the bloke replies. "You actually understood and answered me!" "I got every word", says the parrot. "I happen to be a highly intelligent, thoroughly educated bird." "Oh yeah?", the bloke asks, "Then answer this - how do you hang onto your perch without any feet?" "Well", the parrot says, "this is very embarrassing but since you asked, wrap my wil…

Was up @ Silverstone today watching some serious drifiting :cool: Did anyone else go to this event? Saw no zeds running, mainly 200sx's, BM's, a Scooby that spent most of its time spinning out and a few Corrolla's. Sadly no Zeds were taking part but I have seen fuzzy video footage of a zed doing some drifting, so it is possible. Spotted a red zed with cracked windscreen in the carpark and some guy with a silver zed handing out free copies of Evo. Had good day, but best of all my zeds run in so it's off to SE tomorrow to twist Pete's arm and get my boost set :D

Does any body know who the official Blitz dealer is for the UK ???

http://www.auto-filmsdirect.co.uk I used these people for my Merc and Jeep, they were very competitive and efficient. £200+vat for an A Class, and that's 11 pieces of glass. After a few months there was a problem with some glue appearing on both rear windows of the Merc. Without hesitation they sent an engineer who replaced both rear opening tints and said that they had experienced a few compatibility problems with the felt pads on Mercedes and were now using a different glue. To avoid any future problems, and without me asking, they replaced the front opening tints at the same time. It is a pleasant surprise to get good service from a garage,…

Steve married two different women both in civil ceremonies in England without being divorced or widowed. How was it that Steve did not break the law when marrying the second woman? Oh! Last answer was 7!

Going to pick up the zed after my wheel-loss-tomfoolery the other week :D The wing has been changed and sprayed, the paintwork on the door and bumper has been touched up and blended, caliper replaced on drivers side and seal kit done on front calipers. Plus 17" V-Spec GTR alloys to fit - woohoo! :D:D:D Can't wait! Re my old alloys (16" split rims) - they are in good nick apart for the one which broke loose (alloy scrubbed all round inside, tyre knackered) - would it be worth refurbing them then seeing what I could get for them privately, or selling them cheap as they are? I think the scrubbing could be made good if refurbed. Any thoughts? Cheers P…

Last night I tried to get them off your car,when you were asleep bloody locknut would not come off:(

(To the young, sincere and uninformed: No, not all scientists are hallowed seekers or guardians of the objective truth. Remember the Wright brothers and Alexander Graham Bell. And don't make the mistake of thinking that a Ph.D. is a perfect reflection of a Platonic archetype in this, the real world. In fact, as Ayn Rand identified, because of the collapse of philosophy in the 19th century, science is following a similar, though slower, course in this century. This is as it must be, by the grace of reality, as philosophy is the fundamental, integrating science. Or, as Aristotle, the man responsible for the discovery of logic and, thus, of science, put it: Philosophy is the…

Hiya Anita, hope you're well, haven't seen you about for a while. You said a while ago about trying to sort out club insurance and I was just wondering how this was going?

My engine bay as it is now. Eeek.:eek: I warned you. Since that was taken I've fitted a shiny oil filler cap; it's a start. :o

Warren - where art you - pick up you email bud Regards, Alex

No I'm not selling the Z! But I am thinking about importing a '98 R34 GT-T. It would cost about £10.5k on my drive. Any comments gratefully received. Does anyone know if it can be easily (cheaply!) tweaked and by whom? Anyone have one? Anyone got any performance data?

ne1 see Countryfile (BBC) at the weekend ? They had tractors which compete pulling huge weights. The most powerful were around 10,000 BHP !!:eek: :eek: - they had 5 huge V8 engines - not sure how they link up ??:confused: Some power though ?

I have installed Red Hat and I have downloaded Nedit to do my C and Java (Well try to anyway) but I have no idea on how to install the thing. I have downloaded it and extracted it but I cant install it. Any help please. Stuart

It is with deep regret that I have to announce that one of our members has reached a landmark in his life. No longer will this person be able to dress fashionably, hold his beer or dance. he will walk around the shops eyeing up that new cardigan in the shop window , thinking , "hmm thats not bad actually", he will actually be made up to get sox , a comb and a pair of slippers for christmas. Buying new bits for his car will cause much grief as he is now old enough to know that the cash should really go towards that new lawnmower he promised himself. And just maybe that exhaust is getting a little to loud and it might be best to put the stock one back on. H…

As some of you may know I picked up a pair of 2nd hand wheels at Billing, from a guy who was selling them on the Z world stand (not Jeff...). They needed seriuous referbing, but they were cheap and three of the tyres were in good condition. Anyway, I came to fit them on Saturday, when I discovered THEY DONT FOOKIN FIT!!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: The pcd of the bolt holes is well out - I dont know what car they came off, but it can't of been a Z - boll0x, sh1te, ar5eholes, etc, etc :mad: :mad:
