you got a link to the old thread?

Something im going to do, is something that i think is a nice little touch on the new BMWs. When you unlock the car (remote central locking stylee) they have a couple of sort of cool white LEDS under door handles. Theyre not very bright but enough to gentley illuminate the underside of the door handles. It may sound tacky, but in dark or unlit streets it proves itself very handy! Ill take a pick tomorrow night when i get the 3 series convertible we've currently got back, and youll see what i mean

Just out of interest Si, why do you actually want to fit these. Looks or function?

I use parafin on wheels for general cleaning when theyre not too caked. Just as good as wonder wheels, no where near expensive. Armour-all rubber cleaner seems to work well with mud flaps. I prefer Meguairs NXT Gen metal polish over autosol, requires less rubbing in and gives a longer lasting shine.

Have a word, ive already arranged 2 meets this year, and thats not including reminding everyone about the Reading Meets!

Well, the attendance was not as hoped, but in fairness, it was bloody cold and it was ment to hack it down with rain!!! Cheers for taking some photos marco and the zed is looking very good considering the prag you had, just after you left the car park emptied out a bit and managed to get a line up of the cars that turned up. Didnt manage to get a photo tho, but never mind. Cheers for coming down Mark and Andy, will see you at reading in a couple of weeks. I think we've got the building blocks of a really good meet here, so keep your eyes peeled for the next meet Nick

Would love to mate, but this clashes with the Phoenix meet i organise, sorry.

100% off, gives a whole new edge to your motor!

To be honest mate, im expecting around 30 cars, but it all depends on the weather, most of the replies have been "ill come if the weathers alright". Regardless Ill be there. Nice to meet you silverbullet, did you get the bar maid to beleive youd come down from scotland! :D Mr Isherwood, FIRST SUNDAY, NOT FRIDAY, dope!

This is the thing with america, insurance for these kids is nothing, you see so many of them driving nice motors at the age of 16 17. its ridiculous! You should only be able to drive performance once you shown you are capable of doing so. Liams spot on. it should be like bike licences, that you have to progress from small cc bikes to mid sized before you can jump on an R1 or FireBlade. There is just no substitute for experience. Saying that, the kid could have easily have been in an old shit box tyring to get it flat out and left the braking too late, and the result would have ended up the same

poor thing!

whats wrong with the exterior?

That got to hurt!

That'll learn him!! :shock:

completely agree. The punishments are not proportionate to the crime anymore.

Yeah i know what you mean. My last one was a daily driver and it was sooooo expensive. Now ive got my 'Blade as my daily user and fingers crossed next weekend ill have a zed on the drive as well......... but keep that bit quiet, its a suprise!

Mate i know how you feel, ive been doing it for 4 years now, day in day out regardless of weather, and it does take away the love of biking for a bit, and then a nice twisty road on a sunny summers day brings it all back again!

if your that hacked off with it, why dont you sell it and try something else? Fook me its hacking it down here!!!!

It shouldnt stress you out poppet! I still take it youve fallen out of love with it?

phwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooar!!!!! aroused isnt the word!

so whats going on with your zed then saz?

well its nice to know theyre not all snakes then!

Who wants what then?? ooooooh they got hot chocolate in here today!

I think ill end up doing is replacing the fluid, make sure the calipers are in full working order, cylinder brace and fit braided hoses for the time being, and when i have some spare cash go for the full brembo (front and rear) setup. Cheers for the answers peeps

sorry bud, looks gash! reminds me of the old rover 214!
