Just a note to say hello, as I've not been on here for a while or touched my Z's in at least 8/9 months :-( (changed the oil on one tonight!)
I don't normally talk about my personal life much (especially on here, and despite the support i'd get i know!) but i've had a real shitty year and a lot to deal with. Long story short, a relationship breakdown last June, as she decided she doesn't want to Emigrate to Aus as originally planned for the last 10 years. Still living together through that coupled with our 2 year old getting bacterial meningitis out of the blue in December and being in hospital for 3 months has meant a lot of reassessment and reflection for me of late;-)
I've been working away alot for the last 5 years since returning from a 10 month trip to the Far east and Aus together in 2009 and just come back from a week away sailing with my Dad and she's gone to Greece with the little one and mother in law this week, so i'm free to tinker and potch without getting moaned at ;-)
Anyway, long story but i've had my original UKTT for 12 years now and been a member on here for about 10/11 years (I'm also getting older!) On a whim I bought two SWB slicktops 2 years ago as they were cheap and i couldn't turn them down.
Plan was to take the NI number off one (ILZ - I love Z's!) and put it on the other and keep one as my toy and decide if i preferred the SWB slicktop over the UK LWb Targa (I do like the noise with the roof off), but the Slicktops handle even better! The grey One has the GR esfida split rims i finally had refurbed last spring that were sat in my garage for 5 years and were meant for my original grey LWB (DJZ 300), and the silver 89' has a nice set of Asef alloys.
Anyway, all MOT's are out now after nearly a year away with other stuff but with a daily driver a camper and a RIB on my mates drive in west Wales it's time to pick one, pick which alloys and reg i want and get rid of 2!
Once i've got them all MOT'd again i'll be transferring a reg and putting one, maybe two up for sale. I also have some bits i've accumilated for various mods (I had Jeff do a Manual conversion on the Grey Slicktop last year, so have a really low milage box, a Manual N/A box, a stainless LWB cat back exhaust with a small dent in one box and a set of LWB de-cat pipes if anyone is interested?! If mods are reading this, apologies for teh sales pitch amongst the update and also for not paying my subs probably as i've not been on for a while.
Hope you are all good and i hope to try and attend a few meets/events this year (normally at Castle coomb jap fest but missed it again this year).
