Pete,your PM box full :D ;)

Reminds me of the journey to Billing 2002 think it was,old post somewhere but had a cracking race with one,fast but not fast enough :D there was another colour,Pink belongs to Shirley Bassey,she still got it and its only done 2000 mles i believe,was a one off special,must of cost a bit even in them days. Tony

Congratulations mate,truly remarkable :D well done to both of you. Tony&Donna :)

Sorry to hear its got to go this route mate,one bright note is you will in time be able to ditch the chair,a work collegue lost her left leg in fork lift accident 4 years back,good looking girl etc,today she does the same work she allways done and no one would ever in million years know that she had an artificial leg.Hope it all goes ok and thinking of you Rich,see you soon i hope,Tony & Donna & kids

Dont forget,they both had/have different skills in Martial Arts,Jet Li is a Wu Shu master,and did stay/study at Shaolin Temple from a very early age till around 17years old,no one has ever been better in 20th century.Bruce Lee was a Kung Fu master,but did incorprate other styles to create his own Martial Arts style,Jun Fan, Jeet Kune, so to me they are/would be equal. If say they both were 20years old,had a match,Jet Li would of been the more advanced and more skillfull,Lee would loose no question. Lets not forget Jackie Chan,another Master,who in his prime was considerd the most quickest,even Bruce Lee stated when Chan had a bit part in Fist of Fury(heavly made up as villian that goes backwards through fence in final fight scene after a kick from Lee at the villians house)that he could not believe how quick he was,this spurd him on to get even faster than he(lee) was at that time.I take my hat off to all Master of Martial Arts,truly exceptional athletes. Tony :)

Me on Southbrook allso,about 200yds from the Total garage. :cool: As for Santa Pod theres a few on here including me that go a few times in year,plus sometimes we have a Midlands meet there,check out Events Forum for info etc Tony :)

Me in Daventry too,how you Pete,nice Christmas i hope,you got that 2hundy finished :) Have seen the Z on the Grange,your right JayTT,never seems to move,have allso seen a white Z with aftermarket wheels,me thinks(i too far away to check for sure),not your is it JayTT,mini meet then lads :D , Ha hahaha just seen your rides pics Jay,thats the one,will have to meet up mate,looks very nice. Tony Bit pissed off,still Z less,not for long i hope :rolleyes:

Did not realise that,strange as i did 140 down most of it early last year,at one point flew past a Porche at 170,(smug git tried it on :D )aaah those were the days :) Tony

So so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad Clarkey,just got in from work and am stunned mate,me and Donna send our deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family bud. Tony :(

Does it play all the way to end!,mine stops half way with you on a kart in pits,theres more than that,stupid site,think its having problems,will try tommoro to upload again. Tony

TonyC Daventry - Any Distance :D

Nice day out lads n lasses,me and Jamie had great fun,nice to meet all again. Will have to do this again sometime in near future. Chunk have a look through your pics mate see if you got one of Jamie(No2),nice one of me by the way,impressed with camera,way better than mine :( will have to get another.Thanks to Ivan again,was something different for a meet. Tony PS,have got a bit of video,will post it tommoro ;)

Ivan, what time to be at Karting Centre,cheers.Tony

Curry and Rice x2 plz :)

Sure it was on ebay couple months back,in fact certain,still that dont mean anything,have asked who rebuilt engine,whether stock internals,looks ok in pics but as we all know that dont mean sod all. Tony

Just mailed him ;)

Hi mate,just to say there very very good,they were one time manufacturers of Cobra zorst system,(still are)hand made for all types of vintage and sports cars,then over last 10 years have expanded to cater for anything,have used them before and was well happy,they built a complete system there and then for my 24v Cosworth,they will and can do anything you want,literaly.If you dont find the right type of back box you can have your own designed,and any size tail pipes!Would defo recomend them. Tony :)

Just paid for me and Jamie ;)

To be honest the gearbox can handle a lot of power and abuse on these cars,so i would not be worried much on that front,as for the engine,well respect and vigilance at all times in my book,there reliable/strong/will take more than they were designed to do,and many do well over 100,000miles.The engine compartment develops a huge amount of heat,more than any car i know,so lets say you in traffic jam/slow traffic,hot day,maybe with aircon on,result=too bloody hot,and before you know it temp gauge way high(stock temp gauge total shite,fit aftermarket)resulting in headgasket failure/steam/water pissing everywhere,so allways keep eye on water temp gauge,secondly,change oil/filter every 3000 miles minimum,dont overfill with oil as the dipstick is shite,check water level weekly or if paranoid(me!) more. Dont razz it to often,especialy when hot.Dont miss agear at high rpm,may cause valve/piston damage(get it limited to 6500rpm to be safe(me!). If you have a serious problem with engine or tubs,yes can be exspensive,i had engine go, cost 1600 with labour to replace,but considering what you can buy these days(boring)that amount of money spent is no great deal,more of a bloody pain to get sorted.Theres plenty of people to help you on here,some great traders,so thats half the battle won :D I have known Matt for about three years now,great bloke,very enthusiastic,has looked after his Z impeccably,a credit to Z ownership and the forum.I have been out in his Z,and in my opinion is A1,but remember,these cars are getting old,you will get the odd problem/niggle,buying one is only the start,its ongoing,if you think thats not for you then maybe something more mainstream/newer would be more ideal,but if you want the grin factor 10/excitement on the road,meets,shows,and genral arsin about :D then BUY IT NOW ;) Tony :) Am i about to get my 5th Z! will see ;)

Ok,count me and Jamie in. :) Will pay using paypal tommoro,cant be arsed at mo as i lookin for something on the net ;) Tony
