Adrian Flux do Imports insurance - worth a shot. 0800 7831392

But it's all a matter of relativity. Your mpg is probably less than mine as you are always driving on cold for a long time. Plus you don't get the same ratio of pleasure as someone who does 100 miles a week (which I don't do as I only walk 3 metres to work). Taken to it's conclusion if you never drove your Zed then you'd be laughing all the way to the bank except, of course, you wouldn't be a Zed user. As I say it's all relative me ol' mate.

I've fooled them my plate is dateless Irish !!! (would have been an L - so maybe I've squeezed through................ See how they brainwash us though? I just filled up with 99RON - the price was £62 but I got 5p p/litre off at Tesco's and thought I'd won the Lottery!! Forgetting that I just put another £40 tax into that stomach churning Chancellors greasy palms. Shivers in disgust as I type.

Remember that New Labour is the most spiteful, petty, money grabbing, loop-hole plugging bunch of shysters since the Russian Revolution. Ask any Accountant what they've done to 'avoidance schemes' in the last 10 years. If they think for a second that you have anything left in life to grin about they will put their slimy fingers even further into your pockets whilst staring you in the eyes and acting like they are saving the planet. A bigger con I've never seen - and we lie back............

We are if Registered within those dates - BUT mine is Registered Aug 2006? Just written to my local MP. I will get the list of all MPs email addresses for you if anyone wants to give polite vent to our feelings. I'm sure that they don't read any of our posts they're too busy choosing new kitchens from the John Lewis list.............. Contact your local money grubber http://www.writetothem.com/

I've been sug these past months about having a 1994 car............... Then I just checked my V5 and the date of 1st reg in UK is August 2006 Yikes!!! http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/road-tax/?deriv=3808 Does this mean I'm in line for a shafting or a Micra? DVLA Veh Enquiry page says of my vehicle - C02 Emissions - no data available.

I.T. = Idle Terminally.

I've cracked it. Leave the headlamp unit insitu and just remove the car - it'll be easier............................

Ah, I recall I did install HIDs at the same time................................... but nevertheless it still took me ages to get that lefthand bulb holder back in - still got scars to prove it. ps does anyone work round here? I don't see how we can afford to run a Zed and be idle all day do you?

Have fun - took me 3 hours to change a bulb the other day!! Nightmare to get the 4 securing nuts off the passengers side lamp. I gave up and forced my way past the loom to get the bulb in. Even little Jap hands would struggle. I dropped the wheel arch splash guards, tried dropping the bumper a bit, got 3 nuts off could only 'see' the 4th with a mirror on a stick! I thought I've done a head gasket quicker than this. If a bulb goes whilst on hols at Nurburg next month I'll call the Recovery company and have it trailered all the way home - be cheapr and easier than popping a bulb in. Nice one Ricers.

I think some of the folk at Silverstone wouldn't like to admit they were blitzed by an Auto................

Good point - what names can we call ourselves to be sure that Govt (namely yours and my tax) can be thrown at us and no regard to costs and accountability? OK I'll start - "Mr F.ake. Sillumseeka."

It's OK a report out only this morning tells us that motoring is cheaper now than in 1988. Phew! Came just in time coz I was sitting here thinking that with fuel up 210%, oil, MOTs, service parts, road tax, tolls, tyres all going up, that I was about to give my Zed away. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7496381.stm So there it is people, your motoring is cheaper than 1988 - just ring up your local MP to thank them.

Just read on teletext ' Gordon Brown says, I will lead you through this recession'........ Wot? Was that supposed to comfort me or scare me to death? It's New Labour taxes, support for the lazy, feckless, ferel, unwashed, bone idle, multi-spawning duvet champions that has got us into most of this mess. Gordo will lead us through. That's like telling the turkeys that Mr Fox will lead them safely through Christmas.

Yes, but I only had pics of my Capri Perana loom - it's nowt to do with the Zed. I think this joke is dead now..........................

No, it's a shot of the Recession 'Looms' - geddit?

Guys I'm sorry to say but I have the proof - here is the Recession Looms caught on camera!

I bought the first one I saw.................................... It's all about timing.

Later that day I assume we go Lacquer Balling?

That's great - much quicker drying time on the overalls - and less temp to cure!! Metallic paint? Not wanting to be too fussy.

my bumpers are coming off in next 2 weeks to be replaced by newly painted ones so there might be an opportunity.

Must have been - no reports of engine parts at the roadside - case proven maybe?.......................

Costs? Availability? Suppliers? Just when I thought - Ah, I've gone as far as I need.................... Also, what about thermo control for the oil coolers?

I found the website but it must be out of order as when I clicked Buy Online the silly web page got stuck at £75.00 per litre. I'll wait til they repair the site. Seriously - what is the concensus on additives these days? I'm about to put Silkolene fully synth, ester, blah blah in the engine - not sure if it needs more slippery stuff?

Is there no oil cooler on the Jap spec Zed TT? Mmmmm could be an excuse for a manual? Not really wanting to try that though - specailly not at NBurg.
