Here is the problem, my chair is a rough old thing...picture a sorta dining room jobby with a high back and side arms for support! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr Sorry, lost it a bit!

Hello to all board members from a sunny Tokyo. Still reading the board almost daily. Guess keeps me a bit in touch with the UK, after now almost 2yr in Japan.

(Oh yes, the black one, on the SE web page, with the extended rear, is mine; drive it now out here). Anyway, question is, Brembo brakes. We've just tried fitting brakes from 'crashed' GTRs. Tried two sets even and had brakes re-sealed, but it just ain't working right. So now looking at a spanking brand new set of Brembo…

Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop. Right away they go over to the bird section. Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem." The clerk comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere birds in dat cage op dere," says Gerry, "Put dem in a peeper bag." The clerk does and the two guys pay for the birds and leave the shop. They get into Gerry's van and drive until they are high up in the hills and stop at the top of a cliff with a 500-foot drop. "Dis looks loike a grand place, eh?" says Gerry. He then takes two birds out of the bag, places them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff. Paddy watches as his mate drops off the edge and goes…

I have recently acquired a rather tatty 1989 300zx that I am looking to dispose. I believe that it is fairly sound mechanically but is in need of some cosmetic work. I am leaving the country in 2 weeks time and need to get rid of it by then. If you are interested please act quickly or you may miss the opportunity.

Ok can any of you paintshop wizards change this to silver? ------------------

Sorry folks, but that comment I saw somewhere in some thread on here (yeah, I know - precise...) about a 'connonball run' style charity fund-raiser has got me thinking. People who know me agree that getting me thinking about something is usually a bad idea (results in lots of time, expense, etc.) but I think the Run is a truly excellent idea. Unfortunately I have no idea who the people who atarted the thread last time were so if I'm nicking you're idea, apologies . However, as nobody followed it up (not starting an arguements here; I believe there were enough of them last time!) I'm offering to organise it. Properly. Chasing sponsorship and everything. I've worked …
