Yep... :nelson: I thought that was bird sh*te on his car at first!! (I thought bloody dirty that car :D) If it goes for under £1700 though, would be a bargain - Just would never come out of the garage until them awful stickers were off it!! :D :D Ben

whooooa... Thought what the hell!!! Then I couldn't log in as I've changed my user name :D Logo rocks :dance: Good going Mike!!!

Any chance you could do the same for me??? Change my username from spezer300zx to plain old spezer... Cheers Ben

Well I haven't formally proposed to Pete yet still saving up for the wedding ring LMAO I think my wife may have some objections to us getting married anyway!! I suppose this comment is just proof of your mentality and true Zed ownership. I could go into some comment about the lack of any moral fibre in your body as you really know how to make enemies!!! I hope you have a further vocation in life than to come on to Forums and shout the odds at everyone!! Goes back to the comment said by me and others on this forum.......... GET A LIFE

Oh, good luck with your car.... Ben

Funny you should mention recovery costs... Last week on my accident I had the fortunate luck that a recovery truck stopped to help me out. When talking to him, while waiting for the farmer to come with a chainsaw to chop 4 foot of tree off the side of my Zed, we discussed recovery. He said if I had the vehicle recovered by him to my house, I would be charged for it. If I called the AA out (I am a member with roadside and relay cover) he said they would also charge me as it was a Road Traffic Accident (RTA) not a breakdown. The ONLY way around this was to either --- a) Have AA insurance and breakdown cover. b) Know a mate with a recovery truck. Just thought I'd pass on this info, if it's any use to you. Cheers Ben

I agree with Pete on this one... Trying to dig yourself out of the hole you made!! I mean you've posted a hugh 12 posts... Most on this thread... We all know that alot more could have happened and to be honest if it had this post would have been completely different, let me tell you. Thanks everyone for your concern and any update I will post in a new thread. I should find out by the end of the week what the state of play is... At the end of the day (I know, a terrible saying) I am glad no-one was hurt, I'm glad it was just me, I'm glad it is just a car damaged and life goes on. I just want to enjoy it while I'm here and the Zed is a great mode of transport. PERIOD. It was my treat and now that car I spent time choosing, picking out and driving is gone. :cry: On a lighter note, I think everyone on this forum is fantastic and has really allowed me to express my feelings and pass on real assuring comments. Even if my Zed experience has ended for the time being I will still stay on the forum, as I would really like to meet up with some of you on here. Many Thanks all... Ben P.S. Special thanks to Pete for bringing a smile to my face and letting me babble on last Thursday. I suppose I'll have to get the first :duffer: in when we meet up :D :D :D

Update... Hi all, I have been ringing around to find out what going on with my car. It's being moved to a holding company in the next few days and will then be assessed and hopefully told the outcome before the end of the week!! Old farmer pickles (not real name :rofl:) rang me and said he wanted £200 cash if settled out of insurance, otherwise he'd call the police and go through the insurance company. I spoke to the police to clarify this load of balls, and they said "we would not get involved, as you stayed at the accident and have admitted liability. It's a job for the insurance company to sort out".. So I rang up my insurance company and informed them of everything said (so old farmer pickles will be stuffed to get anymore than £150 out of them!!!) :D I'll let you know as things progress.... Just out of interest does anyone want a slightly unorthodoxly modified Zed? :rolleyes: Seriously though, if I don't buy it back does anyone else want it? I could buy it and let one of you guys take it from there? Speak soon. Ben P.S. If MickG has nothing better to do than go on our forum spouting rubbish about terminally ill people - GET A LIFE!! As so rightly said by members on the board, We're not going on about what could have happened, just how to deal with it now it has.... James/Ajay - Great replies (Many Thanks).

Richard... Have you check to see if you have a bulb on the hicas light? When my light came on the steering did exactly the same.. Dead scary!! - Especially as I wasn't driving!!! I'd wait till someone like Any Duff replies, but I would think just moving the steering wheel will be the best approach... Cheers Ben

Hey up Nigel... Just because I'm pushing the Zed a little more than you doesn't mean I some complete idiot, that gone and bashed his car up.... I'm just practising :D :D ************ Update ************* Feeling alot better thanks guys. Still waiting to hear from both the insurance company and the farmer (:xxx:) Lots of things still buzzing around my head... At worst, may have the zed written off, then get it repaired on the cheap - EXTREMELY MODDED - :dance: Now that's more like it!! Will let you know, when I do... Ben

Thanks all, Suppose I'm glad I didn't just SH*T myself and sit there crying my eyes out!!! Suppose it could be worse... Ben

What do you think guys? Had quite a bad spin out on the way home today from work... Coming round a left hand bend, back end flipped out from me and I went spinning... About 3 times I think :cry: The car is quite damaged. Front bumper grazed, wing, rear bumper, rear light cluster(electrics), rear O/S wheel bent in (meaning the wishbone etc is bent), both tailpipes, and a 4 inches of tree stuck in the boot!! I feel like sh*t!! - What I've done - After the accident the farmer came out and started raving about his hedge (which I took out in places - twice). I have signed a piece of paper saying I skidded and took out property owned by him and he is going to give me a price on repair (just in case I don't want to go through the insurance) - Only a thought!! I did try to drive the car home but after a short distance thought, I don't want to risk it and what the hell would happen if someone went into me? No more risk I thought... It's now stuck 50 miles away and I'm gonna get my insurance company to sort it out................. Anyone has any ideas or thoughts or suggestions, please reply. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, just needed to talk... Thanks Ben P.S. I've just realised I've got targa blinds!! (took these and the targa bags out the car when getting my stuff out before the relay guys took it!)

You still got this for sale??? May be interested...

Mac... Not only does it look slow, but it looks crap !! :D :D My Mondeo looks faster than that, if I took the exhaust off it'll sound just as shite!!! :rofl: What the hell are you doing looking at S2000 anyway :rolleyes: Cheers Ben

Steve sent the pic.... Check this baby out!! Cheers Ben

The best advice is buy from a forum member.... Check the for sale section, contact a member, view and buy!!! The cars here are the cleanest and most lovingly looked after. Pete's got a great car for sale... So has Scoops. Try them. Cheers Ben

Steve, If your having problems send me them and I'll post them up... Try spezer300zx@ntlworld.com Cheers!!

Matty... Where did you get those silicon sleeves from? I may look at doing this and Blue is the colour for me!!! Cheers Ben

Yep... Happy new year all. Packed the kids to bed early as going out tomorrow instead!!! :) Had a few shandies and watched the fireworks!:dance: Best wishes and hope to see you all at a meet in 2004!! Ben...

Thanks for the help, still to try some of the solutions... My car has been fine for months and has only just started this weekend!! Cheers Ben

I have a slight issue with the HICS warning light coming on when on a long journey. It has only happened over the weekend and does not effect the car immediately. After 30 minutes the steering gets heavy and the only way to rectify this is to turn the car off and back on again and the light go straight out? Any ideas? Many Thanks Ben

How Do... Just answer me this? Why does everyone have to jump ship once they get a baby!!? I wish you and you wife all the best, children can be great!! I have 4 kids and the Z is the best car I've ever owned!! The only time i'll sell it is to upgrade!!! Hope all goes well for you. Best wishes and hope you had/havea great xmas/new year! Ben

Hi Jon, Is that your Beemer? Are you missing the old beast? She's still going like a train!!! Thanks for all you help and the car (obviously!!!) Hoping to upgrade quite a few bits in the new year (boost controller/front bumper/etc...) Hope to speak to you again... Ben

Richard, This has already been done on mine but the lights haven't been wired in yet... I'd say you'd have to wire them in completely as the originals don't have any front fog connections.. I'm looking at doing this early Jan. If you get round to it before me, let me know how you get on... All the best.. Merry Xmas Ben

I haven't got any!!! :D Dash peel that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ben
