300ZX owner from St. Austell?
Hi. I just missed out on an auction on ebay, which didn't make reserve and I'm wondering if anyone knows this guy:- http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/toys4boys59/ It was a black wide-arched Zed, but ebay blocks messaging once an auction has ended:( Cheers, Dave

How can this be allowed!!!????
If they don't like it then they should join the Taliban and at least let us get rid of them properly.

Location of switched-live stereo supply fuse?
I'm sure I've popped the live feed to the stereo (when ignition is on) and I just wondered if anyone could tell me where the fuse it located. Cheers, Dave.

A very bizarre few days of Z ownership.
Makes it all worthwhile. You could waste more money on a Fiesta and get no looks lol!

Bunch of *ankers
My point wasn't the scuttling of Woolworths, it was the irresponsible behaviour on the part of the Corporate arm in lending such huge sums in the first place. You know this was a mistake on their part, so I fail to see any justifiable defence here?

led indicators
But doesn't this defeat the whole object of fitting LEDs? If a bulb blows you still have to change it. I think putting a low value, high-power resistor across the feed would be the better option.

Is it a Firebird or a 300ZX? Someone else thinks it's a Firebird on the Youtube replies and so do I.

Welcome to Bristol!
I had it with Windows 3.0 lol! It first appeared in Windows 2.0, 21 years ago! Geeky history lesson over.

Whats the worst car youve had.
My worst car ever was an old Mini. Not long after passing my test I decided to put a 1300cc engine in it with high-lift cams which I got cheap from an old schoolmate who had stuffed his Mini into a wall. Next day I drove it at 100mph on the way to work, but after leaving a dual carriageway found it no longer had any brakes, even the handbrake did nothing. Luckily I managed to fit between the kerb and a Nova as we went round a roundabout, then entered work's car park at about 50 and carried on going into the middle of a field. I left the Mini there until my employers forced me to have it towed away some 6 months later!

Digital vs film cameras
Not if you're using Velvia 8x10, you'd need 960 Megapixels! The data might be old, but it is still valid.

Digital vs film cameras
I always wondered if digital cameras would ever catch up with professional film cameras and I just found this interesting link:- http://www.clarkvision.com/imagedetail/film.vs.digital.1.html

Nissan 300ZX or Audi R8?
Sure have. These were taken in NY, long before I stripped it down lol! The front is off a '73, but the car is a '68, so I'm hoping my mate (who lives 50% in Florida and 50% in Wales) can ship the right front over in a container when/if the bleedin exchange rate improves:( Loads to do yet though.

Fao MAC 1
Although completely impractical and quite slow nowadays, I'd still have the Countach, if only because it's different and was more striking in 1971 than any of todays supercars.

Binned my car yesterday

Let's hope the UK doesn't start buying Russian gas!
If gas prices rise much more I'm gonna start burning the furniture! Looks like Britain is now exporting gas to Europe. That must be the only thing left to export!

Christmas Engine Swap
Nice work. I'd love to do that to mine, but I know I'll never get the time!

Nissan 300ZX or Audi R8?
You'd be surprised at what kids recognise. I had most of the front off my 40 yr old Stingray the other day and a 12 yr old said to his mate "Oh look, that's a Corvette Stingray." I was amazed because the lights and bumper were off and most adults ask "What kind of car is that, even when it's complete!"

Zed was stolen today!
Sorry to hear about this. I'm glad they've at least found it not burnt out.

cheapest electric garage doors?
I just got my 8ftx6ft 6in door from garagedoorking.co.uk and they were excellent. I got 2 remotes and the price of £612 included VAT. They were really friendly, trustworthy and much cheaper than the ones on ebay. Check out their special offers here:- http://www.thegaragedoorking.co.uk/acatalog/Spec.html
