I'm not too far away either - so why not. You know there's a little meet (or there was :rolleyes: ) at the Royal Oak, Farnham Common on the 3rd Sunday of each month but that seems to have died a death........ Anyways - name the day/place etc and I'll come too :dance: Richard :)

Truly the best all rounders - Evo mag certainly agrees :dance: They don't last long though - I only got 6-7000 from the rear ones but if you shop around they don't cost too much compared to others. I got 255/40/zr17 fitted for less than £130 each. Richard :D

Exactly. The difference in straight line performance is down to torque curves - the twin turbos of the Z32 give a significant advantage in mid-range pull. Look at the torque of any big-BHP n/a engine of similar size (eg BMW E36 M3) compared to a turbo'd lump like the Z32. To achieve similar torque from an N/A there's no substitute for cubic capacity - that Vauxhall Monaro thingy has big torque but it's a 5.7 litre V8 Richard

I agree with this Scoops - you don't have a Z afterall so you won't be sponging from us subscribed members for free advice ;) Just enjoy the banter....... ......if I ever sell up, I'd probably do the same Richard :smw:

Bathe every night and shower every morning. Richard :dance:

Only got to 298mph - then Im using a lap-top mouse and have been on the wine...... I'll try again at work tomorrow :p Richard :smw:

Yeah, but some sad ebay addicted tosser will buy them....... .....at way over the odds!! :headvswal Richard :smw:

Seems the best choice - talk to Danny at DTA in the traders section for a good deal. Richard :D

Some great pics there Si - the pearl white does look good in the sun and those wheel really set it off :dance: All in all it was a tidy car and I'm sure you'll be happy with it Plus I'm still laughing about the GTO (r.i.p. :tongue: ) and the bus load of girls....... All the best, Richard :)

Incidentally, Chunk, where did you get your "Z" centre caps for your wheels? Richard :cool:

Not at all mate ;) I'd say your Z is more likely to have shagged that tiny battery to an early death :rofl: Richard :dance:

Now that does look good :bow: :bow: Richard :smw:

That's a lot of car for £4000 mate. Nice one! Richard :D

Exactly - feck the fuel consumption and enjoy the car for what it is. I don't care how much I spend on fuel - at the end of the day if I wanted economy I'd have bought a diesel ;) Richard :rofl:

In that case, go for it mate...... I'd love to join you for a :duffer: but Sunderland is not exactly local for me ;) Enjoy, Richard :D

£40 :confused: Way less mate!!! A tank of Optimax cost me over £64 last week - the light had just come on before I drove onto the forecourt. These cars take 70 litres IIRC, so at 94ppl that's..........quite a few pounds ;) Richard :D

I remember a great story from the early 90s about one countie's force being given a Lister Jag as their M-way patrol car to help catch serious speeders. Only problem was, this 7 litre monster could barely mange 7mpg so poor PC Piglet couldn't actually chase anyone at over 70mph in case they ran out of fuel...... :rofl: :rofl: Richard ;)

Have a good one Mate :hyper: But why only take 1 week p/a :confused: Use all your hols mate or you'll kill yourself - it's only work after all. Richard ;)

Have to say Ebay is no longer worth the bother :mac1: Sure, there are some bargains to be had (My Blue Flame exhaust for instance cost me £350 + £15 P&P) but most sellers are a bunch of greedy c*nts with shit for brains. Most buyers are not much better TBH - I mean, I wanted a reasonably priced DAB radio for work so on Ebay there were loads of those RED DABs for grabs. Now these things retail at £49 brand new fron Sainsburys, so when "new" boxed examples are being bid at £25 - £30 + £8 P&P that doesn't seem so bad. So why the feck then was I outbid (at least 10 times) by brainless w@nkers going up to £45+ :confused: :confused: After the P&P charge it is cheaper to go down to Sainsburys and buy new & guaranteed FFS??? Rant over :rofl: Richard :headvswal

That's very good, I can get around 280 from a long m-way run but I can't seem to keep it much below 1@@ mph ;) Richard :D

Looks a fine job there Andy - love that colour :bow: BTW how did you put the Z badge on wrong - I thought the pins were different sizes each side?? :confused: Richard :D

Ditto..... ......although where will you use it in Harrogate?? ;) Richard :D

Nothing wrong with the C70 T5 mate - plus they can easily be chipped to 300bhp, so I've heard :eek: Go for it. Richard :hyper:

Looks dead fekking good James :bow: I have to admit the slightly-flared arches look way way better that the "wide @rse" conversion. Much sleeker and less add-on IMO :bow: Richard :smw:
