do you think this is reasonable, or not ?
I have 4 cars and still manage to rack up 7k a year on my blue Zedster. My main SWB NA has done 11K since August and my pickup has done 12K since Jan 07 and 15K in the C70 and all by me. Little red did about 1K before head butting a tree so awaiting fixing. So 3K would be no good to me. I do 30K a year just going to work and back.

Don't sound too bad apart from the milage limit. I barteres with the underwriters at my original insurance company (when the sales people eventually put me through to them) I got unlimited milage £18K agreed value with all mods declared, But it costs me £800 per anum

So where have you put your HID ballasts?
I have the Ballast boxes for my blue car bolted to the suspension legs in engine bay where the Aircon piping used to be. These are from the 2003 GB and still brilliant and never even blown a bulb. The ones on my Red SWB's are both at the moment fastend to the intake pipes until i get round to fitting them under head lamps. as soon as I've taken all the old airbox guff off. (when the weather warms up) Sorry but you carn't see them which is the point really

Antiroll Bars
I have to agree. I put these on my Blue Zed 4 years ago and said at the time that these where the greatest handdling mod I'd ever done to the car. I already had SPL ajusterble Camber kits, toe kit, tie bar kit, Stillen HICA Elliminator and strut braces, but these sway bars made the most noticable possertive handling improvement of all.

300zx image problem?
I know when the Z32 was first releast it was big news and sent shock waves through the sports car industry and was the reason for the likes of Porsche and Ferrari getting their acts together to produce fast reliable cars. It was limited to 1500 only to be imported and officially sold in the UK and up to about 1998 have very high residual value's and was concidered as a very serious sports car. I paid £16K for my 1994 UK car in 1999. After 1999 the first of the imports started to appear and buy 2000 you were talking £9K for a 6 year old Z32 when the previous year a 6 year old UK Z32 would have cost about £12K to £13K. At first the imports were pretty good, but due to their prices were now accessable to people who would have bought a second hand Escort. This is when the problem with their image has really started. excelorating over the last 5 years, because though they may have been Escort prices to buy they are still supercar prices to maintain. So many ended up getting botched to sell on and hence lots of real Z32 dogs out there. I honestly think that this will be the last year that prices fall and in a few years the remaining cars will be those that have been cared for and prices and image will go up.

R8 or GTR
I love the New GTR to look at. It looks a bit of a bruiser. It has rear parcel seats which could even accomodate humans for short distances and therefore claim some practicalities. I also love the look of the R8 apart from the gay front side lights. I'm going to have a GTR next year though and maybe I'll change it at some stage for a RS8

It's a case of keep things simple, good ingredients and don't mixe too many herbs and spices or the flavours are lost. Experiment using less Andy. Less ingredients and less different flavours.

One for the blokes
I cook most meals by request of my children and my stomach, because my very very soon to be EX lives up to the French synopsis that the English kill their food twice. Once when they kill it and then when they cook it. Also because she thinks prepping real ingredients to make a meal + cooking it with real heat, means you have to attend to it, get proportions and seasonings right and that just talks away valuable drinking time. So ding is her speciallity because it will not burn while she is comatose with her face on the kitchen table if put in for the time specified on the packet.

Best brake pads for road/race Ferodo DS2500 anyone disagree?
Well I assure you Paul I have them on My SWB with standard TT calipers and on My TT with R33 GTR Brembos and that is the price I paid. I know because I took the price from my September 07 Invoice. Maybe they didn't like your attitude or maybe you spoke to the wrong person or just that I get a good rate because I ask for their best price and buy a lot of stuff from them. Either way what I said was correct, because I have just spoken to Garreth and he told me I can have the fronts for £98.89 = £116.20 with VAT. That because they went up in December

Gurkha Petition
These people in government are supposed to represent us. We don't want spungers from other countries who want to screw the dole and support anything anti western. What do we get. A gerzillion of just so . We want to look after and reward all the pro British peoples who have fought and worked for us like the Gurkhas and people from Hong kong etc. These poor beggers can't even get a look in. Then they say politicians aren't out of touch with us. I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.

Best brake pads for road/race Ferodo DS2500 anyone disagree?
You may have a point because the rears they sent me didn't fit. I've told them and they said they'd order me some ore and to just return the ones I've got. (thats for the standard TT calipers.) If they don't I'll go for the mintex 1155's which i know they do, but mintex have stopped making them for the rears of the R33.

Urgent! Headlights in parts
I'd say that they just need ajusting and setting up properly at a testing station if you have them in Austria and that your head lights must be poor if it is so out of focus.
-
Urgent! Headlights in parts
Is the car a genuine Euro or US import car? or is it a UK spec? Only thing I can think of is that either the whole light or the lense is from a UK spec car and that the projector lense has been ajusted to compensate for the UK spec Glass/outer lense. If that makes sense to you.

Gurkha Petition
Chris I totally agree with you Mr. These are some of the braves and loyalist supporters of Britain. Who lay their lives on the line to live by our values. If ever there was a a none British born people who should have automatic right to live in the UK then these guy's should. If you come from the west Indy's you only have to serve 3 years to get full UK citizen ship. They have been offering a 5 year deal to Polish and Bulgarians. Why do they get entillement? because their white and now EU member countries? Fook we give all the bods from the middle east asylum and then nationality even though they spend their time marching up and down shouting death to the west. They want their own laws and schools and they race off "Home" to join up with gorilla groups to fight our lads. yet the Gurkhas who live by and enforce our laws can't come here. It's a joke and the kind of thing that the people of this country as a whole are ashamed of.
