Seats are the same as in mine and I like them a lot. It's a nice clean car Pete, welcome to the '95 Series 4 N/A manual club! (O.K. so mines a 2+2 but I've got grandchildren to transport).

I don't need thermals.......I have built in insulation, it's called FAT :rofl:

I might change my mind if the weather is fair!

Nor me

What it's about is private.........that's what PM's are for!

I've not had any offers yet....perhaps 'dolly bird' was a bit ambitious, I'm really not fussy so long as you're human, female and breathing lol :rofl: :rofl:

Matt.......You have PM

Not blooming likely, Steve. That one IOW night was plenty cold enough for me. :cool: No! If needs be, I'd drive home on Saturday night, sleep in my own bed, and drive back on Sunday morning...........it all depends what the itinerary is going to be for the two days. Mind you, I could change my mind if some dolly bird offered to keep me warm at night (hotel OR tent OR whatever!!!!!!!) :rofl: :rofl:

I am planning to come along to this meet but not overnight in an hotel. I'm just waiting to see what the detailed plans are before I decide whether to join you Saturday or Sunday, or both travelling home Saturday night.

Don't what what car you're specifically looking for but I can highly recommend the Zed being sold on this site by Jez300Z :- http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=102783 I know the car as I sold it to Jez last year.

I've just looked at Ryanair's website and they have a return flight from Dublin to Bournemouth for 0.01Euros each way. Flight out Saturday 1st December depart 20.30 arrive 21.40, flight back Sunday 2nd December depart 20.35 arrive 21.45. (Doesn't include taxes, fees, charges). If you came over on the Friday evening 30th November it gets VERY expensive (3.99Euros :D ) with flight out 18.00 arrive 19.10!!!!

Thanks for the info Apache but it HAS to be DKZ 32xx Any ideas?

Boo-hoo.....it's not fair.....when I last suggested we have a meet I got my knuckles rapped.........it's just not fair...........Booh-hoo....Booh-hoo...Booh-hoo...... :cry: :cry: :cry:

I saw a car yesterday that had a registration "++Z 32xx" with '+' as alpha characters and 'x' numeric. Was this an Irish registration? Is it possible for these to be purchased for legal use in this country as I would like to look for a personalised plate such as "DKZ 3295"? Cheers - Dave

It would be better for the agency if you went self-employed as they would not have to pay your NI (you would have to) nor give you paid holidays etc...etc....etc. Will they give you a higher hourly rate if you go self-employed? I bet they wont!

Hi Steve - I'm not complaining just explaining :D

Sorry Guys........but as much as I luv you all, a 200 mile round trip for Sunday lunch is a bit too far for me so I'm going to have to back out of this meet. Look forward to seeing you when you have a meet a bit closer to home. 1) 300zx_girl 2) Mattymoo 3) Ian1 4) Chris e boy 4) Chris e boy's other half (hopefully) 5) Madmarco

One of my nieces is a graduate nurse and she wouldn't work directly for the NHS because of the poor salaries. She worked for them through an agency and was paid considerably more than her NHS colleagues even though her agency was obviously also making a profit. She now works in the States where the conditions are better for both patients and nurses. It appears that, like our prisons, the NHS is being privatised through the back door with the result that the taxpayer is paying more for lower standards, even to the extent that patients are dying due to lack of care. What the hell are things coming to in this country?

I'm not a big rugby fan but, WHAT A GREAT MATCH! And we'll marmalise SA in the final.

It's not lack of money that's causing the problems, £billions have been injected into the health service in recent years. It's the misuse of this money and where the money goes that is the problem. Too many overpaid administrators, doctors (hospital and GP's) and consultants salaries inflated by enormous amounts whilst nursing staff numbers per patient are reduced. Jobs are sub-contracted out to private enterprise who employ the minimum number of employees and pay them peanuts in order to maximise their profits, whilst giving out backhanders to ensure they keep their contracts. IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL to see that patients are being killed off by the NHS who are supposed to be taking care of our health. What the hell can we do about it? That's the real problem.

I am appalled and disgusted by the Government's response to the recent disclosures about deaths in the 'Health' Service from C.difficile. I'm sure you must have recently heard or read about the case of the three hospitals run by the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, which had 1,176 patients catching this superbug over two-and-a-half years causing the death of 90 of them. What is the Governments response? A new target for the NHS to reduce the incidence of C.difficile by 40% by 2011!!! The Government seem to find it acceptable that, provided the deaths decrease by 40% over the next four years, this would be an acceptable situation. WELL THIS IS BLOODY WELL NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME! I find their response extremely disgusting. This virulent superbug is spreading due to the filthy conditions in many of our hospitals! If all our hospitals were cleaned properly, this bug could be irradicated in no time at all, along with the multitude of other bugs that threaten to kill us when we submit ourselves to the 'care' of our hospitals. The only response we seem to get from government when situations such as these are uncovered is "Well, we've increased the amount we spend in this area by ginormous amounts since we came into power" and "We have provided new targets to ensure the situation improves". The government's reaction should be to send an army of cleaners into all our hospitals TOMORROW with the appropriate cleaning equipment in order to sanitise every inch of every ward once and for all, and then provide sufficient funds to ensure this level of cleanliness will be permanently maintained. I would be interested in your views on this subject, particularly if you work within the NHS or have experience of the filth in our hospitals. Dave

OK! I'm in too! 1) 300zx_girl 2) Mattymoo 3) Ian1 4) Chris e boy 4) Chris e boy's other half (hopefully) 5) Madmarco 6) Z32dave Pleeeeease don't take this as a criticism but it seems a shame we can't find a decent venue for a 'regional' meet within our own beautiful '4 counties' region (or is IOW a separate county making us a beautiful '5 counties' region?). Never mind, I'm still looking forward to the meet, it's been a long time since IOW.

Hi Scoobydude - Don't see many Zeds around Swindon, yours is only the fourth I've seen in the past year. Hope to see you on a SouthCentral meet soon, you missed two recent good meets at Hackpen and IOW. Do you go on meets at all? I've found them great fun. Cheers - Dave

Blue Zed 'BAZ ****' today 2.00pm travelling east on Whitworth road, Swindon. I was behind you in a Mondeo estate (left my Zed at home!)
