not an original strosek as from what i know of them the panels were actually aluminium and they are dead rare (correct me if im wrong on this) i think it came from paul baileys workshop though who i think did the original fibre glass copies

it is the same zed!! bristol imports - i saw 2 paul bailey cars that day and that was the one i bought have had 7 or 8 years of fun with the car as a weekend drive (hadnt realised it was that long) will be sad to see her go, but its time for a change! get an suv and this one as well ! ! darren

car (NA) has been suffering from hesitation lately so have been going through the big z checklist but one thing im wondering about and wanted to see if it makes sense before spending out occasionally when i turn the key the car would light up as normal and then die before starting, kinda like if the battery was flat but moving the cables on the battery would kick it into life again, and it would start fine, my old battery was pretty old and the connectors didnt fit brilliantly and had a fair bit of play in them, i thought this was causing the miss-starts i replaced the battery for a new better fitting one and cleaned the connectors a few weeks ago and the hesitation stopped completely and it thought it may have been that which was causing it - car was running great but the old problem with the ignition happened again on the weekend (the connectors are fitting perfectly now) the hesitation happened all through my journey home im wondering if it could be a problem with the wiring or alarm what else would cause it to die on ignition like that? and would it be causing the intermittent hesitation problem?? darren

they (apart from being amazingly slow) seem to be quite a competent bodywork company though and have done a fair bit of work on another forum members Z! but they say that theres no way that its going to fit? i dont know enough about it to say either way - what kind of word do you need to do to get these to fit??

having some work done on the car at the moment including the spoiler being taken off and a tailgate skin put on it got the tailgate skin from luke at the z-centre but the bodyshop are having problems getting it to fit, its a 1990 swb apparently the bodyshop have spoken to luke and hes not been the best of help, and im getting quite pissed off with them cause theyve had it for ages but i dont know enough to actually sort it out, they say the skin fits on one side but not the other but my oem spoiler fitted the car ok!?!? has anyone else had similar problems with these?? or have any suggestions, am trying to get hold of luke as well but thought id post here as well thanks Darren

Cheers for the pics think i will stick with the original lights as per original plan as i like that look should end up looking a bit like the red one in the zcentre pics without the spoiler which is cool, like the look of that one :dance: darren

has anyone got a picture of a tailgate skin with the standard rear lights and not in black need to order stuff and sort out my respray, i like the rear lights as they are but if the round ones go best with the tailgate skin then i will go for those instead cheers Darren

do you have to wait along time to get the latest releases with these places?? i know you have to give them a big list of films that they pick from but if you want to watch something that was out last week, how long before you get that??

it was a 'music' mag mix iirc i have it on mp3, if you pm me your email - ill zip it over to you! darren

with what you are wanting it for and using dreamweaver if you have to choose 1 then i would stick with a microsoft server, it may not be the best/fastest/setup in the world!!! but in terms of ease of use and the sheer amount of help and examples there is on the web with asp and access/sql etc - i think it beats php for that, just cause its more popular!

have a look at http://www.securehosting.com/ as well have used them quite a lot and their packages are pretty good! they also do card capture transactions as well so your orders can be processed offline using an epos machine (same as you would do over the phone) - this means you dont have any percentage or other charges that most places take when they do the online processing!!

Hi Danny all depends on what you are actually going to write the server script code in linux users tend to use more php, ms is asp both languages have lots of examples and help on the web and all will allow you to do pretty much the same thing - although theres probably alot more asp developers out and newbie help out there asp.net is the latest version of ms asp and probably is a bit advanced for what you need to do with it. but is both swings and roundabouts really ive always used MS hosting packages but thats because its mainly what i work with anyone that uses linux/unix will say completely the opposite if you need any help with the site though just let me know darren

im with vigilante on this one, i think with most music these days if you eat up whats fed to you from the mainstream then you wont even touch the surface, commercial us rap is big business and what gets exported is mainly the bling bling gangster rap that is almost totally seperate to hiphop, you know when you are listening to hiphop because as much effort is made of the djing and beats as the rapper, check anything by blackaliscous/solesides/quannum, jurassic 5, soul position who have brilliant rappers and dj/producers like dj shadow, cut chemist and rjd2 and then say hiphops all about guns apart from the fact that they are using ryhme, thats about how true it is to the original values and elements, and most true hiphop heads dont rate them either but heck if your choices as an artist are to stay in the gutter with your true music, or make it big time in the states just for singing about guns and hoes, then what are you gonna do???? most rappers/singers would go for the big time - thats why crap tv shows have queues half way round the city for auditions cause everyone wants their 15minutes of fame, the main reason why theres so much of that rubbish is because people buy it same reason theres a continuous supply of x-factor and manufactured boy/girl bands, its not cause thats the height of musical talent, its cause they have a product they know they can sell and most people will lap it up but for every gangster rap record that comes out - theres somebody somewhere putting out original tunes, that you have to look around for, i mean if people didnt go looking for music then everyone would still think meatloaf was the epitome of rock (maybe a bad example) and dont count out other countries for hiphop either we in the uk have some of the best talent out there, roots manuva, phi-life cipher, mark b, taskforce, skitz darren

have a read through this is quite long but worth it: http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/

do you know if the local offices are able to sort out the retention certificate then and there? or do they have to send the stuff of to swansea?

cherished plates are dateless if yours is basically an A plate might be around 1980ish and probably classed as a prefix plate

think it might depend if its actually a private cherished number if its actually a private number ie: not a P123 ABC then it needs a retention cert before you transfer it to another car, thats the £80 if its just transfering a year prefix plate to another car then it might be just £25

just going through this myself as ive just bought a runaround that the owner has a plate to transfer over to it - as far as ive been able to find out you need to take everything to the dvla and they will give you a date registration for your car and your plate goes onto a retention cert which is £80 and £25 administration fee (but you dont need to pay to put it back onto the other car) they issue tax and mot for the new registration theres a chance the old registration for the car will be given back but if not - a date plate will be assigned, im hoping they can do this on the spot cause im waiting for the car, as sending off the docs and the retention form can take between 2 and 6 weeks theres some good advice here http://www.plates4less.co.uk/number-plates-FAQ/vehicle-registration-documents/index.asp darren

was an excellent day at the pod really enjoyed it - was a bit daunting at first, first time you try and figure out the lights but great fun :hyper: was really interesting to see the mix of cars that were there as well from your everyday audi A3s and volvos to the american muscle cars and modified motors!! great day out even if your not running! bit of a shame a few more couldnt make it but was really good to meet up with those that went, definately be there for japshow :D has def given me back the modifying bug darren converted podster

my handbrake light has started to come on when i go round right hand corners is fine on left hand ones for some reason but i think it might be a bit awkward planning my journeys to just turn left!! anyone have any ideas what might be causing this Darren

ill definately be there for "Slick Pete's Newbies Class" and running :dance: darren

never had hissing sound on mine either, replaced fpr and didnt make any difference, had fuel pressure test done between the filter and the engine as well and it was fine, never worked it out!

so longs you take your turbos off first :)

seems he missed out a full stop in the title porsche 944 not standard. Crap

what do we need to do to book this? do we just turn up? how much? and special requirements etc, not done a track day before darren
