> Hi everyone, There will be a garage sale on Saturday, 2nd August 2008 at my place. (If you're going to come, let me know and I'll give you my address and the directions). A bit embarrassing really, but because of my current situation, (debt, petrol prices, electricity increases and living expenses, etc.) I'm finding it a bit difficult with money at the moment. I've decided to have a garage sale and hopefully I'll make some money to help cover costs. > > Desperate times call for desperate measures!! I am sure that I will > get out of this mess sooner or later but in the meantime... > > I've taken a photo of my stuff (see below) if you see a…

Just found out from a mate down the street that Eddie Large has moved into a house further along my road. Apparently he's lived in this area for some years now. Might give him a nice neighbourly welcome and tell him how crap him and Sid were! :rofl:

Anyone have any idea how dealers come up with valuations for private plates? I've had mine valued by RegTransfers at £2500- a good increase on what I bought it for 5 yrs ago. Mine is C 13 ELL ( C BELL) On their site thay have several similar plates on offer H 130 OTH ( H BOOTH) under £2k C 130 OTH & D130 OTH at £17,495. Booth may or may not be a more common surname than Bell but there seems to be no logic as H 130 OTH is worth less than C 13 ELL and mine is a number shorter!! Any thoughts?

anyone know of a supplier of ramps suitable for our cars? or what ingenious solutions have you lot come up with?

insane..... to have one like this though, you'd have to have an engine worth showing off imo just under £4000 for a bonnet like this.... (found on another site and apparently on Redline)

just over the road from me is a driveway that leads down past some houses and to a wharehouse. turns out there have been a lot of people late at night down there, you guesed it, local dogging haunt. tonight the police arrived, helicopter and all and arrested 3 women and 14 men. apparently they have been useing it for past 2 years, I never noticed them to be honest so you got to ask what the police needed to be doing with all the resorces. but i guess its the law has been awsome entertainment listing to them swearing ath the coppers and the coppers trying not to laugh.

Might be getting one of these in a few weeks. The 1.9TDi. Always prefered the look of the Leon over the Golf which I find bland and dull looking. I like VAG build quality though. Just wondering on people's opinions on them are.

Not for the Z, the damn turbo on my vectra diesel has packed in. Anyone know a good turbo supplier in the NW or has a quick turn around? Cheers Pete

Seems it more like fact, youv'e al seen Star Trek and James Bond etc, where large objects and people, are cloaked, and become Invisible. I'm not a scientist, but I know it's something to do with bending light, Anyhow, looks like the technology is No longer Science Fiction., it should make wars more interesting. :rolleyes: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/5016068.stm

Just bought myself a 1994 astra merit 1.4 to run around in till the zed comes out of the garage. What a beast lol, aint quite the same driving a faded red astra with no power steering and 13" rims with grooved wheel trims around, I have had quite a few idiots wanting to race with their polo gti's etc, I can see them looking in their rear view mirror taking the mic and pulling away with ease, it's so frustrating because if id had the zed, they wouldnt even think about racing. I'm used to people looking as I cruise down the street, no one gives you a second glance at all when your in a shed, the only good point is that I could get used to the fuel economy as its amazing, c…

Am thinking of going to an Irish meet. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=1116812#post1116812 Was just wondering if anyone knows the best route to take, Liverpool or Holyhead. Dublin or Dun Laoghaire. The chaepest ferry I have found so far is norfolkline. Am also wondering if it would be cheaper from liverpool in the long run as it is 80 miles closer to me, so less fuel.

I went along to the Silverstone Classic event yesterday and borrowed my sisters camera as I want to get back into photography after doing it in my GCSEs. Anyways here are some of my first photos from an SLR after not having held one for 7 years.

This tells you the horsepower needed in specific cars (Z !!) to reach certain speeds. Gives you all the calcs too http://warped.org/vw/calc.html

I'm awaiting permission from Darkside TT before posting the details in the meetings and event section. I'm just wondering who would be interested in a days paintball in Essex on Sunday 10th August. This would be an open day and not just limited to Z club members, i.e. bring friends / family along for the fun. Depending on how trigger happy you are and what package (if any) you go for. I can't see it costing you more than £60 max (that's pretty much all equipment hire, food, drink and 1000 paintballs). Smaller packages are available along with the pay as you go options. Let me know if you are interested. I will get this put in the events and meetings se…

If anyone can recommend some diff types to look at i'd be gratefull. need to be mid range up though for off piste jumps and fast hill boarding thanks graeme
