Warren has a point, I've just taken it for granted that people would know who I mean. For those who don't know I've had a bad experience with the workmanship from the bodyshop that the Z centre uses which is F.G Accident & repairs. Other people may have been happy with his work, but I certainly am not. If anyone is thinking of using him, feel free to mail me and I will tell you of the many problems, or look in my rides section and you will see pictures of a few of the faults............. I spoke to Peter today (after ChrisC's post) - I lost count of how many times Peter used the word "cringed" :( & just noticed that was my 1000th post :) Vijay

Nick, so do you :) Aaron, it's gone through the insurance - YGM. Vijay

:D:D:D Timmy's right, I just wish no one else gets ripped off by going to this so called specialist. He talks a good talk, pity his worked isn't up to much. Peter, if you read this - sorry mate!!! I bet you didn't realise it was going to be a p.i.a :( Vijay

"What did he rush you for the respray Vijay?" What do you mean Chris :confused: Vijay

"What did he rush you for the respray Vijay?" What do you mean Chris :confused: Vijay

To be perfectly Frank mate, I couldn't agree more;)

cheers Chris. Vijay

Hi all, Can I load any other version of windows over a palmtop that has windows ce? Thanks Vijay

it's on 2nite at 8 Roy.................. Vijay

Hello Martin, I've voted to keep the 300, but remember if you do, you'll have a one off car - nothing else will be the same!! Vijay

Hello John, Check the coil pack connectors. Mine did exatcly the same and worked it self loose. The connectors are prone to breaking. Vijay

Hello Russ, Can't help you on any of the probs and just wanted to say congrats on your new purchase - hope she'll keep a smile on your face. Vijay

Hello mate, I'm sure you'd be able to use "chemical metal". I'm sure it has a high heat tolerance. Vijay

Finally done the 4 hour journey from London up to P.P.S yesterday and met the infamous Peter. Nice to meet ChrisC, PaulG and Aki again - very friendly guys. Anyway, I have to perfectly honest and say I'm impressed with the standard of his work after seeing the cars that were ready and the job he's done on Chris's car (gonna look the business). As some of you may know my car went to a certain bodyshop in Nottingham exactly a year ago to have a full kit and respray. After a few months (and less than 2K), there was paint flaking off and cracks in the side skirts as well as rust coming through - needless to say I wasn't impressed (and that's an understatement). No blame was accepted by the garage for the paint flaking - which I still can't understand?????????? Anyway, one thing that really hit me with Peter is the way he doesn't try to bump up the price for any extras. He gave me a price for the work that we agreed and then I wanted extra bits done like fitting a tow eye, i/c vents and replacing mastic that was used, with fibreglass. I asked him how much extra it would be and got the reply "don't worry about it, it'll only be an extra couple of hours". The other garage I used bumped up the price for every silly little extra to the point that when the car was ready it was a couple of extra hundred pounds (to be fair, I did get phone calls to tell me this) which really annoyed me cos you don't have any choice at that point. The final thing that really impressed me was when it was time to leave to get a flight back. Peter had said he'd drop me to the airport, but got extremely held up. I said no problem, I'd happily get a cab, to which he replied no way, as he'd promised he would get me to the airport. Instead he phoned up his girlfriend/wife (at least I think she was) to come and pick me up and take me to the airport which was a half hour journey - I was reallY impressed with that!! To anyone that's thinking about having a respray or kit fitted, I would certainly recomend PPS. As I said earlier, it took me 4 hours to get there, but if I add the multiple journies to Nottingham, it worked out a lot more. (not including wasting petol). He's very friendly and you can tell he takes pride in the work he does. Last of all, a massive thanks to the big man himself, Iain. He's given me help and advice with bits I needed for my car and he went out of his was to meet me to show me the way to PPS. Cheers mate, it's really appreciated!!!!!!! I will post pictures and comments when I pick my car up (in about 3 weeks) to let anyone interested know. Cheers, Vijay

saw Chris's car yesterday, it really is gonna look the nutz!!! really nice paint job. Vijay

cheers guys. Looks like I'll have a busy Monday on the phone. Vijay

Cheers Andy, I'll try them on Monday. Do they have an age limit thing though (30 I think)? Vijay

Hello Barry, I'm looking into club insurance at the moment. Want to see if someone will take us serious and give us some descent quotes.............. Vijay

Hello James, Listen to Paul!! you could get the chip and controller for not much more than £350. That's the way I would certainly go!!!! My personal opinion is if your gonna mess around with the boost, do it the "safest" way possible. Good luck. Vijay

Glen mate, are you extremely bored???? Vijay

John - no probs - JUST DON'T DO IT AGAIN!!!! :) Steve - cheers

Steve, Would you know roughly how many models of each?? One insurance company I spoke to said that if there was a club with 500+ membes that they would definitely be able to get an underwriter to do something special........................might be worth looking into for all of us. Let me know, Cheers Vijay

Hello Steve, I spoke to Livingstones yesterday. I was under the impression that they already had an insurance scheme in place for the Z club. I take it that's not the case then............. I think the problem I'd have with the insurance companies might be with the varied models of "all" our members, but I'll certainly give that a go. Exactly what models do the 625 members cover? I get the impression that all they want out of me is to get people to call them for the business, without actually having anythig in place for us................ Thanks Vijay

cheers guys. I'll get onto AON (got their number now) and Footman James. Baby ice dog, yeah am looking to cover imports too. Vijay

one thing insurance companies have been telling me is that they won't insure your car with classic insurance if they have any mods. Just something to remember............... Vijay
