The classic Two Ronnies sketch................. But for those of you that don't want to read all of this, just skip to the bottom of the thread, as I've posted the link to the video of it ;) In a hardware shop. Ronnie Corbett is behind the counter, wearing a warehouse jacket. He has just finished serving a customer. CORBETT(muttering): There you are. Mind how you go. (Ronnie Barker enters the shop, wearing a scruffy tank-top and beanie) BARKER: Forkandles! CORBETT: Four Candles? BARKER: Forkandles! (Ronnie Corbett goes to a box, and gets out four candles. He places them on the counter) BARKER: No, forkandles! CORBETT (confused): Well there you are, four candles! BARKER: No, fork 'andles! 'Andles for forks! (Ronnie Corbett puts the candles away, and goes to get a fork handle. He places it onto the counter) CORBETT (muttering): Fork handles. Thought you said 'four candles!' (more clearly) Next? BARKER: Got any plugs? CORBETT: Plugs. What kind of plugs? BARKER: A rubber one, bathroom. (Ronnie Corbett gets out a box of bath plugs, and places it on the counter) CORBETT (pulling out two different sized plugs): What size? BARKER: Thirteen amp! CORBETT (muttering): It's electric plugs, electric bathroom plugs, we call them, in the trade. Electric bathroom plugs! (He puts the box away, gets out another box, and places on the counter an electric plug, then puts the box away) BARKER: Saw tips! CORBETT: Sore tips? (he doesn't know what he means) What d'you want? Ointment, or something like that? BARKER: No, saw tips for covering saws. CORBETT: Oh, haven't got any, haven't got any. (he mutters) Comin' in, but we haven' got any. Next? BARKER: 'O's! CORBETT: 'Hoes? BARKER: 'O's. (He goes to get a hoe, and places it on the counter) BARKER: No, 'O's! CORBETT: 'Hose! I thought you meant'Hoes! (he takes the hoe back, and gets a hose, whilst muttering) When you said 'O's, I thought you said 'O! 'O's! (He places the hose onto the counter) BARKER: No, 'O's! CORBETT (confused for a moment): O's? Oh, you mean panty hose, panty hose (he picks up a pair of tights from beside him). BARKER: No, no, 'O's! 'O's for the gate. Mon repose! 'O's! Letter O's! CORBETT (finally realising): Letter O's! (muttering) You had me going there! (He climbs up a stepladder, gets a box down, puts the ladder away, and takes the box to the counter, and searches through it for letter O's) CORBETT: How many d'you want? BARKER: Two. (Ronnie Corbett leaves two letter O's on the counter, then takes the box back, gets the ladder out again, puts the box away, climbs down the ladder, and puts the ladder away, then returns to the counter) CORBETT: Yes, next? BARKER: Got any P's? CORBETT (fed up): For Gawds sake, why didn' you bleedin' tell me that while I was up there then? I'm up and down the shop already, it's up and down the shop all the time. (He gets the ladder out, climbs up and gets the box of letters down, then puts the ladder away) Honestly, I've got all this shop, I ain't got any help, it's worth it we plan things. (He puts the box on the counter, and gets out some letter P's) How many d'you want? BARKER: No! Tins of peas. Three tins of peas! CORBETT: You're 'avin' me on, aren't ya, yer 'avin' me on? BARKER: I'm not! (Ronnie Corbett dumps the box under the counter, and gets three tins of peas) CORBETT (placing the tins on the counter): Next? BARKER: Got any pumps? CORBETT (getting really fed up): Hand pumps, foot pumps? Come on! BARKER (surprised he has to ask): Foot pumps! CORBETT (muttering, as he goes down the shop): Foot pumps. See a foot pump? (He sees one, and picks it up) Tidy up in 'ere. (He puts the pump down on the counter) BARKER: No, pumps fer ya feet! Brown pumps, size nine! CORBETT (almost at breaking point): You are 'avin' me on, you are definitely 'avin' me on! BARKER (not taking much notice of Corbett's mood): I'm not! I'm not! I'm not. CORBETT: You are 'avin' me on! (He takes back the pump, and gets a pair of brown foot pumps out of a drawer, and places them on the counter) Next? BARKER: Washers! CORBETT (really close to breaking point): What, windscreen washers, car washers, dishwashers, floor washers, back scrubbers, lavatory cleaners? Floor washers? BARKER: 'Alf inch washers! CORBETT: Oh, tap washers, tap washers? (He finally breaks, and makes to confiscate his list) Look, I've had just about enough of this, give us that list. (He mutters) I'll get it all myself! (Reading through the list) What's this? What's that? Oh that does it! That just about does it! I have just about had it! (calling through to the back) Mr. Jones! You come out and serve this customer please, I have just about had enough of 'im. (Mr. Jones comes out, and Ronnie Corbett shows him the list) Look what 'e's got on there! Look what 'e's got on there! JONES (who goes to a drawer with a towel hanging out of it, and opens it): Right! How many would ya like? One or two? (He removes the towel to reveal the label on the drawer - 'Bill hooks'!) Video here >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMa2ZR1ey18

Approx measurements are........ Width = 62cm Depth = 6cm Shallower than I thought. HTH Dave

Just over the width of a tyre, and about as deep as a 'Get U Home' spare :D Hang-on, I'll go and measure mine for you :D

I live in Grantham, South Lincs.

Bloody spell checker didn't even notice that one ;)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Mine used to be there not all that long ago, no idea what's happened to it :confused: I could do with some nice new ones :D

Close, it's not the undertray though, it was the underside of the bumper! I'd run over the top of a parking bay kerb (much like the one behind me in the first pic) and when I came to reverse off from it, it wrenched the bumper outwards :cry: thus causing the bumper to hang down. On closer inspection, it was where it had been repaired when i had it fitted, it was split so my bodyshop guy had put a plate there, and this had bent causing the section to remain in the down position. I've now removed the old plate (a bit of crappy metal) and replaced it with a bit of decent alloy plate. it just needs a little touch-up on the paint and she'll be fine, for now anyway ;) well until she receives a decent respray :cool:

It was about time I sorted mine out ready for the photo shoot (if it ever happens!) so I've sorted a niggling little problem today. Can you spot it? :D Before..... After.... :D

Horses-for-courses! I've seen this a lot, people trying to sell items on e-bay and they can't be bothered to put the effort into an add. One poxy small picture and he's expecting to sell it!! No real information....... It's a For Sale add you fooking dim-whit! Sell it properly!! :nono:

Everyone has their own taste! OK. it's not my taste, but I love the color! ;)

Looks and sounds like a good deal. It's probably an 'out of production' model hence the price, but then it's still got all the 'Bells 'n Whistles' on it :D

Yet another informative vid bud, :bow: keep them coming :D

It's OK, 6 1/2 inch fit fine, you simple have to drill a couple of the holes in different places, POP!! :D I've got JBL GTO525e's in mine, they fit a treat....

Nope, found it. It isnt AndyP, it's AndrewG :D Take a look here >> http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=12 HTH

I'm sure AndyP built a really nice bass enclusure, that was built into the floor of his Zed, but I just can not find the pics of it either being built or the finsihed article. It's very nice as it follows the contours of what is already there. if I find the pics anywhere, then I'll post them up........... Now I'm sure it was AndyP..... or was it?.......

I've just tried phoning him again, but without an answer, so I've sent him a txt. Hopefully he'll get back to me from that.

I tried, but couldn't get hold of him.

Sorry guys 'n gals, but I'm now sick to death of chasing photographers up, so I'm cancelling this indefinitely, at least until I can find someone willing to talk properly to me and knows what they are doing. I'll be contacting ZedWorld later today to let them know. Again, I'm sorry to have to do this. Dave

Hope that helps you out a bit bud. Dave

TBH, yes it would, but I believe it's something like £3000 for the report, and 99 specs already fetch top money over in Japan anyway, so it could be a VERY expensive 8 year old (and lets be honest) and outdated sports car. And once '09 arrives the value would plumet!

You must have a 'Tell Tale' illumination for the switch, either on the switch, or next to it. And if you do use one of the reversing lamps, then you must use the drivers side ones, otherwise it'll fall foul of the law! For full details etc (including the rules/regs) check out the Fog Lamp FAQ in the FAQ section (under electrics) HTH Dave EDIT** OK, it's not in the Electrics section of the FAQ, but to save you looking it's here >> http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=42161

In short, NO, well not yet anyway, in late '08 you could if you find a late '98 version (as that's when they started to build them) otherwise you'll have to wait until '09. Unless you want to pay for the Model Report, which'll be a few grand!!

If anyone is interested, I now have the full 99 JSpec brochure scanned. I have two versions, one is in JPEG format and have been edited from the full size original brochure. The brochure is bigger than A4, so I've had to scan each page twice and edit them together. The second version is the same brochure, but in .pdf format. both versions are 20 pages in total, including the cover. Now for the problem, the .pdf version is 9.88 MB and the individual JPEG full version is 29.9 MB, so I'm not going to be e-mailing this all over the place, simply because of the time required in sending it. If someone wants to host it somewhere I have no problem, and I could then send it via a CD. This is only the brochure, it does not include the Tech Spec document, as that's ALL in Japanese, and is mainly writing so i didn't feel it was worth it. Let me know if anyone is interested. :D
