The Toyota truck (whatever it's called) looks pretty good as well; my neighbour has just bought himself a 62 plate one in black and it looks pretty awesome!! Richard:thumbup1:

Wow - nice job Squee!!! Richard:thumbup1:

Why not indeed - let's go for it...... .....Another good idea; I'm sure Lee can organise that!!! Richard:wink:

Yup - coming on nicely Del..... Richard:thumbup1:

Indeed....!! Nice one Gaz... Richard:thumbup1:

LOL....:rofl:

Good question Dave - but whilst I love the hot sunny weather, I'm one of those people who feels warm most of the time.... Luckily I am dark skinned and do not readily burn, but nonetheless I could sit outside in my pants in the December snow and not feel cold....:LOL: So when it hits 28+, the roof goes back up and the a/c switched to 18. And in the ZX, I must admit, I rarely take the targas out TBH.....:oops: Richard:yinyang:

Yup - great Zedding weather for sure!!! But TBH once the temperature gets above about 26, then I leave the roof in place (same on daily driver) and just bask in the cool air conditioned comfort...:wink: Richard:thumbup1:

Hi everyone! Following a recent thread regarding motorsport and the current REO arrangements, the committee has listened to your suggestions and concluded that having a MEO would indeed be a good idea. Therefore I'd like to announce that Noz (Noel) has stepped up to fill the position of Motorsport Events Organizer and the committee has given their backing for him to begin with immediate effect. On behalf of The Committee, please join me in congratulating Noel on his new role within the club. Richard Smith Club secretary For The Committee

Welcome to the club Dan - and enjoy your new toy mate!! Thanks for posting your hall of fame pics; I love the old 944.... And can't wait to see the pics of your ZX. Richard:thumbup1:

Good info Lymon - and sound advice at the end I reckon.... ....TBH it's not really economically viable IMO; and you might actually find the cost of importing one from the USA not much more expensive than converting one!! Richard:thumbup1:

Exactly mate - and it's a local family business; the proprietor took it over from his father and has done a good job of continuing the business. Him and his staff do accept their limitations though - as they tried but declined to change an inboard HICAS joint on my old red ZX; but I'm happy for them to look after Julia's Rav and do the day to day servicing of my ZX. Plus there's always Zedworld for the specialist stuff!! It's handy for you to have Keith pretty close by Ian:wink: Richard:thumbup1:

Many happy returns chaps - have a great day!!! Richard:happybday:

Nice one Steve - thank you for your support mate!! Richard:thumbup1:

LOL - it's like you read my thoughts Steve...... ......Sounds like a plan though; albeit 150-odd miles from me:wink:

It could indeed have Bri.... I have never had to top up the oil in my Z since I bought it; but when I noticed the leak had started a couple of weeks back (it happened on my way back from Sainsburys 2 weeks ago tomorrow; as there was no residue on my garage floor before that), I had only driven 20 miles and already the level on the dipstick dropped from full to just above the low mark!! Richard:blink:

No mate - not bad at all... It's a proper old school village garage too; the owner is a decent, honest fella and if something is too complex, he's happy to say so and not charge for his time if he could not fix it. Plus him and his regulars have that mutual trust - so when I collected the Z, he apologised for not having the bill ready; gave me the keys and said he'd post it to me in a couple of days, so just pay it when I can pop in. Of course he knows where I live...:lol: But that's not the point!! Richard:thumbup1:

Welcome to the club - and that is a tidy looking 300zx you have my friend!! Richard:thumbup1:

Hi all, I finally got the car in at my local garage yesterday - and collected it today all fixed!! Luckily it was a minor issue and I was right!! Apparently one of the hoses to the oil cooler fell foul of the electric fan - so as the fan spun it sliced a hole into the hose. End result, 3 hours labour, a bit of rubber hose and some jubilee clips; and all is well. Nothing else needed to be disturbed.... Plus they cleaned up the oily mess and topped up the sump once more! Richard:thumbup1:

Very good Alan..... And following on from an old thread some months back, it looks like you and Znut have a lot of fatherly stuff in common mate!!! Richard:laugh:

Heh heh; hell Dave, that sounds like something you'd find in Z's basement in Pulp Fiction....:lol: Are you looking for a co-driver then Mark? It does sound like an adventure..... ....although absolutely not the type of one Dave was thinking about with his rubber hoses and cable ties....:wink:

Hi Viz jacket too mate; plus your reg documents and both paper/photocard driving licence bits.... And make sure your breakdown recovery service and insurance covers you in Europe, oh, and take those documents as well. Richard:thumbup1:

LOL - cheers Rich......:rofl:

Just spotted the new avatar myself - looking good Kim; looking good mate!!! Richard:thumbup1:

YES.........:tongue: Got you on a spelling mistake in your first couple of days back...... Richard:laugh::clover: PS - you'd have done the same to me, my friend:ninja:
