Which would be the best value - clearly slightly biased here. But for every day use and the prolonged fun factor. I'm trying to persuade a mate to go for the Zed reason in 3 years time he will want more power than the 306 could ever deliver therefore buy the Zed now and keep it for twice as long then you will save a lot on depreciation costs. However running costs will be higher and the TT can wipe you out if there is major problems. Whats your view Same money - which is more practical fun and which will last longer?

When i joined here i was the 2000 th member !! It told me on the home page! Is everyone leaving?

My oh so reliable daily driver (Fiesta) has let me down again. The battery died the other day a mile from home - so the missus had to tow me home - not nice :eek: Bought a new 'un and it was fine. Now the bloody coolant reservoir cap has DISAPPEARED - dunno how it happened - just overheated at lunchtime and I lifted the bonnet and it was gone :confused: . I've rung around the Ford, Halfords etc places within a couple of miles and no-one can get one. Anyone going towards Daventry from Leamington? :D No? Oh bugger. Fords are cack. Rant over Pete

Was bored so started searching for famous 300ZXs ;) Here's an excerpt from the OJ Simpson trial, It's the testimony of Allan Park's (OJ's limo driver.) See if you can find a more famous 300 ;) ********************************** Q. All right. And what position did you pull up to with respect to the gate shown in this 0099 photograph? A. With my car facing in forward towards the house with the front bumper almost touching that gate. Q. Is that the Ashford gate that we see in this p…

Hi, There was a recent post entitled "Maths Homework" about 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times. Well it set me thinking as follows. With a standing start, given the distance, 1/4 mile, and the time, say between 10 and 20 seconds, you can easily work out the what constant acceleration is needed, (Techies see note 1). The big assumption here is constant acceleration, clearly the acceleration will vary over the 1/4 mile, but humor me for a while. From the acceration you can easily work out both the 0-60 time and the final speed, (note 2), from which you can work out the kinetic energy, (note 3). Now this amount of energy has to be supplied by the engine in the…

I think I'll have to get the front seats done again as they have become loose. :( (the above pic gives the best idea of the colour)

Only a few......and hope nobody minds me posting up their car, let me know if you do and I'll take em off. AndyP....thanks for the very kind loan of the discs and STU cheers for the base box and getting those other bits for me. Excellent as usual to meet a few more of the guys (and girls) aswell as the familiar faces. (Mike......... http://www.fancyplates.com) ;) John-Boy's Z looking good as ever....don't know why AndyP is spitting a big greenie on your front bumper though..... and it looks like John-Boy is saying "don't do that mate"! lmfao.

Looking in Exchange & Mart this week - quite a few ZX for over 6k from the trade. Seems that their value is on the rise - maybe due to the 350Z. It's good for us!!! Geoff.
