General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Got news today that my old friend and mentor died on Thursday :crying: He'd been battling Cancer for the past three years. Nigel taught me the inner workings of the PC back in the early '90's when the 386DX40 was top of the range! The bloke was a genius when it came to electronics and computers. I remember him coming in drunk one night from a party at the Officers Mess (He was a Flt Lt in the RAF for many years) He sat for two hours and told me exactly where Clive Sinclair could have made a much better ZX Spectrum. RiP Nigel, you will be sorely missed mate :sad:

If you could re see a concert that you have been too, what would it be? I love music and have seen lots of bands. Luckily for me, my best mates dad ran security at wembley, and also got tickets to other venues. But out of these gigs some stood out way ahead of the rest. and if i could go back in time i would do it all again. Guns and Roses - Milton Keynes bowl 1993. Amazing!! about 20 people from front Oasis - Knebworth 1996, in the middle of thousands of people. But great gig Queen Kind of magic tour Wembley 1986. The best concert i have ever been too, literally 5 from the front, going bonkers all day. Playing with huge inflatible's and women stripping…

Must be getting old or its so so cold. Its just a single think block garage. Would this work? I want to panel it out with this then cover with hardboard. http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/161206?WT.ac=SP030006 Would this be ok? :thumbup: I have a few rolls kicking about thats all

Fancied something to entertain me whilsty the zed is ill (cancer in the turbos and engine). Its all there ready to go back together, just taking time. I wanted something fun, Cheap, not too slow and something i could do a track day in. A few car crossed my mind, 306 GTI, 172 clio, but it needed to be RWD! Mx5, S13.. Didn't really want a turbo. Decided on an MR2 because of the 750MC racing on motors TV. I wanted to spend about a grand, but wanted a Rev 3 as it looks better and im told is a better engine. 174BHP and RWD. Bid on a few on ebay, but at the last minute they were going well over a grand. £1500 for one with 120k miles, £1100 for one with 170k…

I thought I would drop in and say hi & Merry Christmas. I am zedless at the moment, but hope to fix that early next year. In the mean time I thought I would spread some christmas cheer with an 8GB media player giveaway. Details on my blog http://www.themitchelli.com/ It is aimed at my twitter followers, but I have much love for 300zx.co.uk, so I thought I would let you guys have a go too.

Got the chance of tickets for a gig, choice of the Manchester Arena, or the O2 in London. Anybody got any views on which is best ? Would be looking for a hotel for an overnight stay as well, Premier Inn or such like. Will be flying down from Glasgow to Manchester, or Gatwick, depending ? Is the travel to either arena from the airports mentioned easy or what ? All suggestion much appreciated, Cheers, Alan.........

Julia and I are off to Cornwall next Thursday - at least I thought we were. When leaving the hotel last January, I booked a week in June and another 5 days from 30th December. I double checked next week's booking when paying my bill in June and all was well. But tonight, I gave the hotel a call to see it we could arrive a day early as Julia is also off next week, only to find they have somehow lost my reservation:angry: Apparently the hotel is now full as they "changed their computer system" recently and since my booking was not also supported by a written record it did not get carried over so they've booked my room to someone else. To say I'm extremely ang…

While trawling through my documents i found this...pure class:lol::lol::lol:

The Corolla's only fault (apart from being ugly as fook and slow lol) is that its only central locking rather than remote, which is a pain in the ass with a nipper/shopping etc. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNIVERSAL-REMOTE-CENTRAL-LOCKING-UPGRADE-KIT-2010-MODEL-/230451013865?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35a7f368e9 Any idea how difficult/expensive it would be to get someone to fit a kit like this? No chance I could do it myself but would be willing to pay if its not too expensive. I just hate having to physically lock the car....
