As a newbie, I was wondering if anyone could explain the various levels of membership on the site, then I would know how much reverence and respect to give to the 'old hands'

 

;-)

Wow, you don't say,

 

I guess I need to read what an Avatar is next! It's all so exciting!

 

Look out for loads of really short meaningless posts from me while I build up my brownie points!

An Avatar is the picture under your name on the left hand side. :p

 

 

:D

 

 

Anita.

Oh and by the way Smithy knows his stainless pipes and clear indicators AND you have to do what Ajay says or a goth hangs around your front door until you give in... :D - Gio

Gio,

I have read quite a bit about clear indicators and I am confused. Why are people so upset about orange ones? - I even saw an article (was this Smithy) about someone who used keyhole surgery to break out the orange plastic to get the effect they were after. Must have taken all day!

 

Can someone explain the fascination with this conversion?

I have also noted that there are an incredible 1820 members on this site - quite and acheivement. I never knew there were so many zeds in the uk, but I guess some members don't own a zed? Then again, perhaps not every zed owner is registered on the site.

 

I wonder if anyone has done any analysis on the membership (?)

I'd love to know what the balance of Auto's to manuals is

and also UK specs to Jap imports?

2 seaters to 2+2s

How many of each colour are there?

 

Come on, wouldn't you all like to know how many cars 'just like yours' there are out there?

 

I know I've given all this info to Craig - can we put it into a table, without giving away everyones' personal details?

 

If you need a volunteer to process the data - I have contacts I'd be happy to speak to...?

Nigel........I went for the clear indicators just to make the Z look a little more modern.......and gotta say for the money is one of my fav mods.........clear rears are next I think......

 

You will soon be drawn into buying goodies for your Z........ ;)

I'm sure there was one about colour too, but I can't find it at the moment. Obviously everyone agreed that red's the best! :D

If you take a look at my website, down the side you will see Silver Indicators which shows before and after.

 

That's for the sides and the fronts. It's not a question of being "upset", it just a matter of taste as to whether or not you like the look. My car is silver (the best AND the fastest colour) so I quite like the clear non-orange look.

Again, amble over to my not-updated-yet site and click on the links under How Many UK Zeds.

 

The only way to get this correct is to give the SMMT £450 and I don't have that kind of dosh lying around spare!

 

Cheers - Gio

GIO,

 

I haven't had time to check out the poll info posted above, but I was really meaning a poll of site members rather than a full national search. I didn't know that SMMT (?) could give out this sort of data though.

 

I'll check out you indicators later, bit busy just now!

They do? Thought they were under instructions to play nasty stuff like Julio Iglesias until the victim caved in..... I shall have words....

I heard it was Enrique........."I can be your hero ba-by"
