General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Just found out one of my best friends and possibly the nicest person I've ever met has passed away. He was a Z mechanic and drove a Z for years and had become one of my best friends. The way I always described him was I was lucky to have a friend like him as he was the most genuine friend you could ever wish for and would drop what ever he was doing if you needed him without having to ask him. He was a proper old school stand up guy!!!! It just shows how you have to enjoy life, a couple of years ago he was fighting fit, then a few pains and then he's riddled with cancer. In one way I'm glad he's not suffering any more. Vijay

A few thousand years ago I would have been loaded I bought these two complete hoards from the far east (with export approval) i cant even start to say exactly how many coins I have here 14Kg one hoard and 7.5Kg the other. Im a bit of a history geek as I love anything old but decided to sell at least some of them on ebay as I could never clean these all in this lifetime LOL. http://www.crustyromans.com/plutus-hoard/ http://www.crustyromans.com/juno-hoard/

Just got an HD Sky+ box off someone, got no viewing card but there is a Sky dish on my house and its still live with a good signal as the bloke who came to move my Virgin Media box before xmas tested it for me and said it was still working. So, if I get a viewing card or expired Sky card (from where?), presumably I will be able to pick up any free to air satellite channels? Any advice please? Thank you!! :tt1:

Well after nearly 3 weeks with no internet (thanks Sky :gun_bandana:) I'm back on with O2 :thumbup1: At least now I can get some pics of the new Zed posted on the weekend and feed my addiction, right what can I buy!!!

Just had to post this: This magnificent example of good old British Engineering must have "turned-a-few-heads" in the States-over the years - wonder if you could hear the clock ticking ? some graduation gift-must have looked splendid with his cap & gown ......... Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death last year.....at the age of 102 !!! He was the oldest living owner of a car from new. He donated it to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 170,000 miles on it, still run…

Just a heads up - this was free, but now a certain greedy Aussie wants another £5 per month off you (besides your Sky subscription) to continue to view Sky on your iPhone/iPad etc. What a clever strategy, make something free then sneakily charge tens of thousands of subscribers - nice one :gun_bandana: Rupert.

Been spending again but on something for the wife this time. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180606996532&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Should keep her happy for a week or two.:thumbup1:

As title, our TV has built in freeview. Can I get a freeview plus box and if so would it just work instead of my current freeview?! had a look round google but can find the answer as I cant explain the question very well lol. :confused1:

Just thought id pop a post up and say Hi to everyone, still log on from time to time and catch up with whats going on with everyone's cars. Still got the Subaru after selling the Zed but its too reliable so had nothing to fix on it :lol:

Having read over a some of the old posts where i have commented. i noticed that i seem to be the main cause of thread derailment of a few of them :whistling: So with the new year rolling in, i pledge to TRY and not do it as much :thumbup: Happy posting people :innocent:

They will let any idiot on the road these days! Looks like kelloggs have been at it again,giving out driving licences to any idiot who can find a suitable adult to cut out the coupons! I drove around the M25 this morning and it looked like a breakers yard!!:blink: There was cars everywhere! some were broken down but others where there just because people drive like tw@ts in all weather. I saw 5 accidents just between j22 & j26!! there were cars in the road some facing the wrong way including a transit tipper(although given the benefit of the doubt it did look like he had dropped his prop from the back of the gearbox). The worst one which i'm glad…
