Sat Nav
I have the NAvman F20. As it only cost me £160 (they are now around £120-ish :mac1: ) I think is does a fine job. It has UK speed camera sites too at no extra cost. The TomTom One is now under £150 in places and that is probably better as it has full digit post code search, whereas the Navman doesn't take the last 2 digits. Richard :smw:

What is your 2nd car?
Merc SLK 230 for daily driver Rav-4 NRG for occasional snow etc (and for Julia to use) ;) Richard :smw:

MPG stock vs "chiped"
Yes, but the fuel guage does not go down in proper proportion...... :nono: You will only get 50 or so from the second "half" now ;) Richard :D

Too much oil!
Faulty PCV valves could also lead to high pressure in the crank case, forcing out the dipstick....... Richard

Metal ?
Same here :hyper:

wooo No spoiler no spoiler woo no spoiler
I replaced my OEM spoiler with the fibreglass replica (bought it from MJP) and it is a whole lot lighter. I quite like the OEM look, hence I kept it. :p As for high speed stability, I doubt you'd notice it at much below 155mph ;) Richard :D

B@stard weather.....
As above!! It's been a nice sunny day here (so far), so I had the ZX cleaned on the way back from Sainsbury's this morning. When I got home I gave it a quick polish to finish it off and left it shining on the drive as it looked so good :hyper: But I have just looked out the window to see a sudden downpour :rant: Should've put it back in the garage when I had finished :rant: Richard :mac1:

ultimate car wash?
Not quite! I mean fair play to the fella's passion and he has done a fantastic job..... ......but I wouldn't bother with all that unless I had just bought a new Aston or something similar. Even then, I still probably wouldn't go that far ;) Richard :D

fog lights
As the other 99-ers have said, indicators for the 99-spec bumper do not have sidelights in. You still need J-spec fogs or UK spec combi lights to keep side lights. If you have a stock bumper, buy USA spec corner lights - they have indicators and side lights where the J-spec indicators fit. You could then remove your J-spec fogs for your project. The added bonus is you can use the stock fog light switch for your rear fogs, like the UK spec cars ;) Check out my car as it was in "rides" before I fitted a 99-spec front. I bought USA spec clear corners for my UK ZX and fitted front fogs. Email this chap - SMW1 passed his name to me a couple of years ago. oppamanz@sympatico.ca Richard :D

Vector V8 Biturbo Concept - Z like?
No! I quite like that as well. The full-face front picture does have a 300zx look about it and the rear light panel is pure DB9. I'm not mad on the front end in profile though but all in all it looks a decent supercar. Richard :D

1million Brits close to driving ban
I think different regions have diffrent parameters TBH. Some cameras are set at "excessive speeds" like the one on the A40 near Uxbridge, Middlesex. It is a dual carriageway and the camera is set at around 90mph. However there is one on the A40 coming into High Wycombe from West Wycombe, just after the speed drops from 40 to 30. That is set at 34mph. Richard ;)

This does work! A few employees at my company are on 12 points now - I have done a fair few letters to courts up and down the country saying I will have to lay off field staff if they are unable to drive. However some courts have said that you can only plead this hardship once. I'd say that 10% of or drivers have no points, with the majority on about 6. Richard :smw:

Electric or Wet ?
Gillette Mach 3 for me :D Can't be doint with those fekking electric things; they rip your hairs out IMO...... .....best shave I ever had was a cut-throat job in Turkey 17 years ago. I have always had a habit of sporting stubble; my then girl friend persuaded me to got in for it and I have to say I was impressed (although scared shitless ;) ). Still I got my revenge; right after that I got the mad mullah barber to do her legs with the razor :rofl: Richard :smw:

Bad luck mate - never mind, you are obviously thinking positive so good luck with the new venture. And having met you once, I'd never have thought you were 40, Alex!! Richard :)
