Was watching Car Wars on BBC last night... Anyway, turns out that whilst watching a flock of T-5's chase a nice Porch(with a BBQ on the back at 55mph) 911 Carrera 4(are they upto now?)through the motorway madness, that the chopper was struggling to keep up!!! LMFAO! Haapparently the cop chops can only max. at about 130mph and if the wind farts in their direction they suffer big time! So, sleep safe at night knowing that if yer Z gets nicked and you've delimited it and the traffic conditions are good e.g. no fucker about...see ya! Most forces now rely on the "eye in the sky!" so they tend to back off once they know that the chopper is in hot pursuit! …

having spent most of the day in the company of bonfire bollox i witnessed the transformation of his beast with its new wheels after much travel toil sweat and nail biting they were finished at 5ish...as much as i dont like to make the ginger whinger happy its gotta be said that said wheels are looking awesome and as good as the green mean machine was before its even better now.....all we need to do now is dye your hair get rid of those spandex style jeans and we could pass you off as almost normal lol

I've posted on the Supra forum that I did not intentionally set out to OFFEND any of their members and offered a truce! That's it! Tim ;-) P.S. Not grovelling or apologising for anything I posted, but do appreciate that there is no point in kicking the arse out of each other! Equates to not being selfish which is not in my nature!

An Nissan 300zx TT owner called Tim pulled alongside a Toyota Supra Mk4 at a traffic light. "Do you have a car phone?" Tim asked the guy in the Supra. "Of course I do," replied the haughty Toyota driver. "Well, do you have a GPS and Sat Nav?" The driver in the Supra sighed. "I have that too, of course" "Then do you have a double bed in the back?" the 300zx driver wanted to know. Ashen-faced, the Supra driver sped off. That afternoon, he had a mechanic install a double bed in his motor. A week later, the Toyota driver passes the same 300zx , which is parked on the side of the road-- windows all fogged up and steam pouring out. The arrogant driver pull…

I am planning to arrange a karting event as follows : Location : Buckmore Park, near Maidstone, Kent (15 mins from M25). It's a 1.2 km track with three great overtaking opportunities. Format : 15 minute practice + 1 hour endurance race Karts : Honda twin engine (avg lap speed 52 mph) Drivers : One male, one female in each team - no exceptions. No driver can drive less than 25 minutes of the hour Cost : £95 per kart After bitter past experience, I'll only be booking for those who have got money in my account so if you're a 'maybe' then I'll be looking for money up front and I'll then refund if I can replace you. I did a similar event earl…

I have a split at the edge of one of the big solid rubber pipes going to the throttle bodies and i'm also getting a leak from somewhere else in the system. I've seen some nice coloured pipes somewhere but can't find 'em now... any ideas where I can get a set? My silver Z has a lot of red details on it so preferably red pipes... Any tricks for finding a leak as it's difficult getting your head under the bonnet at full boost!!

Is it just me who can't get onto it this morning? ------------------ Az

Does anyone know of an engine for sale, going cheap? I'm looking for a 1989/1990 auto unit. Not fussed about the turbo's. cheers.

Hey guys, Strosek (or Paul Baily) gear is a little hard to come by down under thanks to the pathetic excuse for a dollar we have and shipping etc so I'm trying to make my own rear round light panel. Does anyone know what lights are used in those kits? I need to still incorporate the reverse light somehow which is giving me trouble, the Strosek kit seems to have a combination blinker/reverse light but I can't figure out what it's from. Any ideas? Someone told me they are from a Fiat but I'm not so sure. Many thanks, Ben www.aus300zx.com

The purple 300 with the Veilside combat kit.. who;s was that? And those girls with GPS plastered all over their lovely tits.... nobody would need GPS to find them puppies Love Glen

Are any of you Londoners up for a meet this month. It'll be a great way of making new contacts and putting faces to names. It needn't be just Londoners, I've travelled miles to Z meets, makes a change to have one in the London area. I'm awful organising things so I need your help if theres interest for this.

On my way to the pub tonight, the wipers on my Z decided to switch themselves on for about 3 minutes, then stopped. The car is low on washer fluid- is this a reminder to put screenwash in, or is my car possessed? If so, has anyone got a phone number for a good "GhostBuster"? Dave
