Hi and welcome to the club Brad!! Richard:thumbup:

LOL - thanks Andrew.....:biggrin: But, yes this thread is indeed still open for business as usual...... 408 pages, 8154 posts, our most popular, longest running thread ever. Why kill it off now...:wink:

Phew - you had me worried for a moment there Gary......:lol: But congratulations Lee; well done on passing your test mate:thumbup: And not a bad idea there Ali:wink:

Nice one Steve - and thanks for your continued support mate...:thumbup:

Thanks for your continued support mate....:thumbup:

Yup - seconded.... Thanks Scotty!

This....:mad: At risk of going slightly off-topic, I agree with Chris. Never happened in the "old days"....!

Thanks Gary:cool: Just need to get used the new DSLR now - here's to sharper images from this year's shows....:biggrin:

Cheers Gaz.....:thumbup: .....New car? :lol: Well, I happened to wander into Stratstones Land Rover yesterday. And then (ahem) wandered out, having paid a deposit for a nice 2014 Range Rover Evoque Coupe, in Orkney Grey; with 9-speed auto 'box and full tech-pack....:cool: I collect it next weekend...... So it looks like the old Land Rover is now surplus to requirements. Anyone interested in a tidy Freelander2 HSE TD4 - offers around the £10k mark....:whistling:

Today we visited Waddesdon Manor in the Zed - as I wanted to try out my new camera...... .......so guess what my first subject was....:lol::wink: Richard:thumbup:

Yup - agreed....!

Some great tips there folks, thanks.....!! You never know when that stuff will come in handy....:thumbup:

..............And as for what I did to my Zed today.... I took it out of the garage, dropped it off at my local garage early this morning; then collected it at 2.30 this afternoon, with a sump full of Castrol Edge, a new oil filter..... And a fresh, advisory-free MOT certificate:dance: I then took a spin to Aylesbury, collected Julia from work..... .....And somehow ended up buying another car...:lol: Got home, wiped the Zed down with Sonax detailing spray, ready for a day out tomorrow, as it's been a while since the Zed has been used "properly"

Yup - my thoughts too.... Each to their own, I always say, but if it were my car, I'd lose the all the wood - and the hooded dial area too - but definitely all the wood.....!

I agree.....:death: ....Fleabay is certainly getting worse. And not just the shite that people sell - the website in general seems more hassle nowadays. Too many advert feeds really slow the damn 'site down at certain times of day.... Or is it just me?

That's what I thought, too!

LOL - there's a medical condition for that mate.....:wink::rofl: .....Autolepsy, I think they refer to it as.....:oops:

Hello and welcome! That does not look a bad car, but I'd be considering overall condition - especially underneath - above any modifications or enhanced ICE that the car may come with. View it in the flesh; check the underside, the sills, rear wheel arches; anywhere corrosion might lurk before anything else. Whilst imports generally "should" be less likely to have suffered from the tin-worm, that car has been here for 14 years now! See if anyone from here is local(ish) to you; who might be willing to come and see it with you. And good luck in your search! Richard:clover:

Thanks for the birthday greetings folks.....!! Richard:thumbup:

Yup - another "well done Ash" from me too...:bow: It certainly did look like a good turn-out. Especially considering the weather etc - nice one guys!!

Yup = seconded....:thumbup:

I'm with you Steve.... ...And then we have situations where the media sensationalises everything, to the point of whipping up a frenzy about something mundane. EG this alleged vegetable shortage - what shortage? Every Saturday morning for the last few weeks, all I have seen in the supermarkets are full shelves??? The press and TV drum up a few pictures of empty shops, tell us how bleak it is all looking; and then offer the final piece of advice..... "The public is urged not to panic buy.....!!!" The very words which make the intellectually challenged, go out and do just that...:lol: Somehow Jonathan Pryce's Bond villain, Elliot Carver, in Tomorrow Never Dies does not appear so far fetched these days....:no:

Happy birthday Jimmer - hope you have a great day mate!! Richard:happybday:

So was I...... .....And that's great to know! Always nice to see there are still some 300zx parts Nissan doesn't rape you blind for:cool:

Happy birthday to a fellow Aquarian, Steve (not that I give a shite for astrology) Hope you have a great day mate!! Richard:happybday:
