General Discussions - Non 300ZX

Just back from holiday and took a few vids on our phones. Unfortunately, some of them are sideways and even upside down ! Iknow, i know ! :oops: Samsung phones, on Android if it makes any difference. Question is, how do i rotate them ? Alan...............

As title, I have changed my forum name as Stewart is my real name. I have attended a few events so thought it would be less confusing when i introduce myself!

I was watching a repeat of chasing classic cars. He sold a Ferrari for I think it was $1.7million, 3 years earlier it was only worth $300,000 & he couldn't sell it at that price. Got me thinking about future classics. So if you had up to £10,000 to invest in a car what would it be? I would probably go for either a Triumph GT6, a mitsubishi Starion or a Mercedes sl.

Some hated him and some loved him. RIP big Ian.

Not a 300 but still it's a start...lol Looking forward to this one... https://www.facebook.com/MrWheelerDealer/photos/a.10151490097313441.1073741824.26584618440/10152355695728441/?type=1&theater

Just noted my favourite Bond Baddy had passed away. RIP big fella. :(

As another September 11th comes and goes haste we forget the events of 2001. Rest in piece all those who perished on that day.

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a strip of LED's from ebay and accidentally ordered mains voltage ones to start with...... DOH But when they arrived they had:- 1) A euro 2 pin plug with no fuse....... Okay you can use an adapter! 2) A diode rectifier in a plastic box in the middle of the live wire....... The box fell off when picked up exposing all the live mains wiring...... Absolutely lethal.... 3) The connection to the LED strip is 2 metal pins pushed into the rubber sleeve.... These fall out of the sleeving exposing 2 sharp pins that if plugged in would be UNFUSED and LIVE........ I have emailed the fleabay seller and fleabay themselves as these n…

As some people know, I travelled down to Trax Sunday morning and had a go on the simulator, quickest time of the day win a set of BR racing coilovers worth £700 - £800. Well, i received a call from BR today asking which coilovers I would like!!! Well chuffed doesn't cover it. And i won it by 1ooth of a second! :biggrin:

At least I think they are? Thought they looked good.:)

Anyone else having eBay issues at the moment ? Can't access it saying my username and password are incorrect and when doing a reset password it then proceeds to tell me that my account doesn't exist. Unlinked it from paypal just incase and changed my paypal password but it looks ebay is having major issues.

as above, when to catch him

Went to see Lee Evans last night at Bournemouth BIC on his new Monster tour, i have to say even better live, i guess you get the audience atmosphere by being there rather than on the TV, some great new material, just wish we could have been a bit closer, spent most of the night looking at the big screens on the side of the stage, so could have watched at home really, but seeing him live for the first time was well worth it and if you get the chance to see him live, i would highly recommend it :thumbup:

Yup, one day ! Thats all I have had off this year ! Since Xmas, I have only taken one day off work. Easter Friday I took off, as we were off on the Monday. So, 18 days off work, and away to here tomorrow morning ! 30th wedding Anniversary pressie for us, and a 25th wedding anniversary for the brother and sister in law ! Excited ? Aye, just a bit ! We were there two years ago and loved it ! Lets see what "Premium Class" on the Dreamliner is really like !! http://www.bahia-principe.com/en/hotels/riviera-maya/resort-akumal/ Alan..........

I'd like to wire one into my diesel glowplug system but the problem I have is the 4 glowplugs are powered by 12v to a busbar. Is there any way of connecting an ammeter to the postive side of the circuit? Cheers Vijay

Does this make any sense and could someone make it up for me for a price? The RangeRover has six individual wires from the glowplug controller, one to each plug. Inside the controller each wire connects via a low value resistor to the relay which supplies them with 12V. The controller monitors the voltage drop accross these resistors and therefore detects a fault when one (or more) plugs fail (and therefore the current through the relevant resistor is zero) and flags this as a fault code. You could do something similar I guess. Not a five minute solution but I reckon that it would work to drive LEDs exactly as you want. Something like a 0.05 ohm high p…

Spotted on the A50:in Stoke today. I was in the Zed and he actually cruised alongside me smiled and gave the thumbs up. I never saw one like this before. What is it? Rich

Just heard the news that the dinosaur inventor has died ! Maybe we can clone his DNA.

Anyone else having trouble accessing the National Lottery website? I have tried several times throughout the day and all I get is a long wait; followed by "This page cannot be displayed....!" Richard:no:

Following on from Groovers Lee Evans thread, me and the Mrs are going to go to watch a show. Shortlist so far is as follows: John Bishop Al Murray Jason Manford I'd like to see mickey flannagen and Kevin Bridges but they're unavailable. Anyone been to see any of those 3? How was it?

Well I'm rejecting my ds3, its been back to the garage 7 times since january so they are taking it back. Im going to get another car (NOT CITROEN) I am unbelievably fussy when it comes to picking a car. So any suggestions as to what car to go for? Preferably a turbo diesel of some kind but I'm open to all engines. Ive been looking into getting an Audi A6 3.0tdi quattro. Suggestions below please Adam :thumbup:

Anyone going? I am but not in the Z, it's at RB Motorsports. - - - Updated - - - Forgot to mention it's on this Sunday 17th.
