MJP - Mike is probably cheaper than the Z Centre.... Plus we should support our traders wherever possible; and the service you get from MJP is second to none!!

Heh heh - if you forget to wind it, it will lose time!!! Otherwise (when I have remembered to wind the automatic ones) mine have all proved very accurate; the Breitling is a quartz Colt Chronometer and hasn't lost a second (or needed a new battery yet) in 6 years. So I'm impressed with that!! Richard:biggrin:

I agree - having seen it at Jeff's the other year, I have to say it's one of my all time favourites. A mint real '99-spec TT manual....:drool: I have a seatbelt light on my ZX too BTW.....!! Richard:thumbup1:

Scary...!!! And a lesson for all the facebook and Twitter addicts etc..... There's a reason us old gits don't post so many details about our lives online....:shifty: Richard:ninja:

Many happy returns Alan - I hope you have a great day (and evening) matey!! Richard:clap:

Happy birthday mate! Richard:thumbup1:

Watches are a bit of an obsession of mine - along with cars of course - so I do like to treat myself to a nice time-piece every now and then.... .....I have gotten rid of a couple over the years, but the current batch consists of 3 Tags, 2 Omegas and a Breitling. My favourite being the latest Omega Seamaster Chronograph; it's a work of art rather than just a watch - to me of course... I'll put some pics up later perhaps...!! Richard:sorcerer:

YOU WIN DAZ.....!! Fantastic looking motor mate!! Richard:cool3:

Sorry to see that Bri...... ......as you say, lesson learned mate :sad: Richard:cursing:

Agreed - if you paid the fine on the last day then that should be the end of it. If they had taken you to court, and you proved that the fine was paid in time, then they would have looked pretty stupid and would no doubt have lost their case.... It's always worth challenging these idiots as they know that the cost of any recovery - even if they win - is more than the actual amount they seek to recover! Richard:cool3:

It's two for me; although again I have no pics as I did not have a digi camera or camera phone back in those days..... First was a 1961 Rover 100 P4. My dad bought it when I was 4 and I took it on when he stopped driving in about 1990 following his heart problems - I loved that car as it had great sentimental value... Second was my old Jag; I had a 1974 series 2 XJ6 4.2... It was in reasonable condition - just needed a little tidying, but all good considering its age. It failed an MOT on the steering ball joints - and I could never be bothered to get it fixed; so again I sold it for a couple of hundred pounds when it could have been worth so much more, had I been bothered at the time. Richard:sad:

A belated happy birthday Joel.... ....hope you had a good one mate!! Richard:cool3:

Many happy returns Al... ....I hope all is well with you mate and that your new venture is going fine!! Richard:cool3:

A belated happy birthday Lee!! Richard:cool3:

Nice work Lee!! Richard:cool3:

Hi all EA members, After months of not having your own REO, Osty1 (Tony) has been given the job with the committee's backing! So a big thanks for stepping up to the role - I'm sure you'll do a great job buddy!! Richard :cool3:

My thoughts too.....:helpsmilie: ....thanks for sharing that Jeff.. Richard:cool3:

Great news mate - another ZX lives on!!! Richard:cool3:

The Cayman is supposedly a really good car from what I have read - the new 2013 model is apparently better than many a 911; but £25k cheaper.... But the old shape is still a car to be reckoned with.... ....Hell, even though it rhymes with "Gay Man" I'd have one over a Boxster. And the "S" is the fast one with over 300bhp. Ok the "R" is the fastest, but there's very little in it; and the "R" is stripped of all the luxuries like a radio, ac and anything else that makes the journey more comfortable!! They also held their value quite well too - but will suffer now the new version is here. So as long as the Porsche is in a good way, it could very well be worth it! Check it over thoroughly; do the HPi check and make sure it comes with full Porsche history (with bills to prove) etc.... Richard:cool3:

Heh heh - just what I was thinking...:lol: Still, what an experience for you mate; that's something you'll remember for ever!! Richard:cool3:

Nice one Daz - hell there really is no getting shot of you is there mate!! Thanks for your continued support though - and welcome back to "proper" membership!! Richard:cool3:

Nice purchase Nicci; I hope it serves you well.....:flowers: .....but you'll have to leave it outside at JAE.....:tongue: Richard:clover:

Nothing today Gaz - I left it in the garage as it would have got dirty if I had taken it out this morning!! Richard:whistling:

Looking good Gary - and congrats on the MOT pass mate!! Good call on taxing it for the year too - that way you can drive it when the mood takes you.... I couldn't leave mine laid up for half the year!! Richard:thumbup:

We have an arcade.....:oops: LOL - seriously though, I have not used it myself so I cannot really comment.... Richard:wink:
