How much is my Zed worth?
mine is a j spec 89 tt auto too in a similar condition, no sh but lower mileage, with leather cd and 18's and paid 4k for it, the problem u find now is that theres so many cheap imports coming in people just see the low figure and go for it, the good examples get ignored, its a real shame cos these are top motors that cost a fortune when new, ive seen plenty g reg's on trader for as low as 3k true they might be ruff but people that buy them at that price tend to be boyracers that dont look after them, while theres boat loads of cheap imports being sent over the market wont rise till there rare enough to outway demand its a sad state i know but its a buyers market at the moment

350z feature on Top Gear
Clarkson may be the king of motoring, but do you think you know better? what a joke, this guy complains about fitting in gt40's u couldnt fit his ego in a escalade, hes an overweight over paid coffin dodger with a dodgy hair cut, he gets paid to spout his comdic written witty hot air, he wouldnt know a decent drivers car if it came up and bit his fat ass off. ignore the tosser that he his, if anyone happens to meet him give him a good pasting for me cheers :D

20 Inch !
im sure 20 inches look good but riding on 18's is harsh and expenisve enough, 500 quid for cheap rubber at that, 20 inches is show car stuff, i need my zed for every day driving

The best pc's around
trust me ive worked in a computer shop and u simply cant buy a game for a pc off the shelf and it work on any pc, theres an infinate combination of hardware software on the pc platform, and some games just wont work with certain setups. unless u have a bit of knowledge it can be very frustrating, fine in turning the detail down but it kinda like driving in 1st gear but as dom says its not really a fair comparison

89 300zx TT
89 tt auto import, 80k on clock runs and sounds sweet, usual niggles such as goose honk, gurlges from aiv's, but engine and gearbox wise i cant fault it?

The best pc's around
Why We Love Macs Pricing -- Apple's pricing scheme is competive. Find me a pc thats as fast as a dual G5. The new Power Mac G5 throttles past both the fastest Pentium 4 and a dual-processor Xeon workstation when tested using industry standard SPEC CPU 2000 benchmarks Compatibility -- Hmm i bought the latest game and it doesnt run on my pc, oh you need to upgrade your ram, graphics card and cpu, oh i did that 6 months ago, yeah but your new games wont run unless u have the latest ati or nvidia beast. The Dock Bar -- I think you'll find mac had the first WIMP Windows ICONS MENUS POINTERS os way back before the first Microsoft incarnation appeared. File Backups -- Ive used macs for 10 years and never lost a file, its file system is far supierior to both fat 32 and NTFS. U can be playing a file an copy it else wear while the file is in use, try that on windows os Extra Costs -- Mac did the brave step of abandoning the floppy some 8 years ago, a step in the right direction, most new macs come with cdwriters or dvd burners now. Ease of Use -- OS comes complete with a media player movie maker and most software is written identically, if u can find your way around one program u can use them all, navigate with a single click and mac apps have way more keyboard shortcuts to make program manipulation a doddle Support - Support from the people that make them not some 3rd party contractors. Next day pick up and repair. 99 % of design and artwork was designed on the mac before the pc was powerfull enough to handle the intense work, try playing with a 200 meg picture on a 1 gig g4 and watch that baby fly.

Practical question

300ZX a simple car.
at the end of the day it like anything else, if u take your time and have patience u can do anything your self. i my self repair laptops, some time u get one uve never worked on before, i see it as a challenge more than anything else. the zed is a more complex beast than your average run about, if u think about it from a design view, they had a hell of a job getting everything they wanted under that bonet, but they did it. i love the way everythign is just shaped right and so tight fitting, they utilised every single space available. but professionals or not, were all human, and humans make mistakes, the ones that stand out are the ones that realise there mistakes and take the time to put it right. u would not belive how easy it is to spend 2 hours stripping and rebuilding a laptop, only to find u forgot to connect the floppy cable, yeah it might take u 20 mins to strip it an re fit the cable. but least u know if u do its a job well done
