Me was just putting my foot down heading down slip road onto M4 when saw you coming over roundabout from Taplow end. Who was that sleek looking red zed taking in the sights of Slough?? :hyper:

Ryan, Anyone- you get a free thrash in my zed. I need the verdict on whether I got a pile of poo for a zed and of course advice on what bits to spend my hard earned cash on first. If you can bring your conzult too, I'll buy ya a drink. Have been diagnosed with faulty egr valve. Need to know if this is really the case as it sounds an awkward job to replace. Simon- hope you booked the sunshine :cool:

well, at 60- he dont need all us spotty kids- he probably knows his stuff- and good times too. Lets hope we're all blasting suped up 350's down the dragsrip when we're 60 :cool:

double dam- I missed that as well :cry: Send up some pics to show what I missed. I bet you liked the sound of that race tuned e-type. That Chrome painted jag was pretty cool as well- dont suppose that was road legal- just too shiny! :shock:

Get youself a few tubs of super-glue! You'll need that to stick bits back on when they drop off. I heard this 1st hand from a guy who works for TVR. That was a few years back so may have got better.

Speedfreak- I guess you were the blue one. Who was driving the black one? :)

I'm gonna check my import later as its only been in the country a year, so good chance there'll be some goodies. If I dont find anything, can someone give me some yen so I dont feel left out :(

dam- how could I miss them beautys! :cry: Still, I have my memories of the lovely PVC clad Octane :hyper:

blimin ell mike- you beat me by 30 seconds- still it shows what we're all thinking!

oh dear Hermie. You could always scrape enough oil off your engine bay to top her up :tongue: Sorry, I know, that was a bit harsh :bow:

you've also got the regular Reading meet which is somtimes quite big- not many zeds last time, but it was short notice :dance:

if you wanna post some pics- when you write your reply to the thread after the text, scroll down a little further and you should be able to click on the attachments link and you can browse to a picture and upload. Doing it that way hangs my machine at home but works fine from my office pc. Glad you had a good day. Totty wern't too bad either but I bet you were going too fast to notice ;)

yea- come on gworilla- share the piccys! did you get the chance to go on the rally simulator?? it was very realistic- had to hold on for dear life and needed new undies after that!! :)

I wern't me- I took the bus :(....... but I could :duffer: :D

Had a good morning- but had to get back on the road at 1pm. Sorry I didnt get to chat with you guys. Enjoyed the zed action though. I think that Jet powered dragster burst my eardrum :( unfortunately the video I took was so poor, its not worth posting- but heres a couple of pics. I think a well earned rest now before billing. :duffer:

yep, go easy- first thing my mate said when I bought a zed was "oh no- you've bought a widow maker!"

BigALz is going provided er-in-doors has calmed down from my galavanting this weekend. I'm currently banned from talking about my car at present! Amazing how they can be jealous over a hunk of metal :rolleyes:

Its probably one of the 1st digital cameras out- really big and clumpy, but seems to get good shots on hi-res setting- need to get a usb card reader though as it takes forever to download on serial. Heres some MP4 vids taken on me phone. Download quicktime 5 if you can view em... http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/madminis.mp4 about a meg http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/show.mp4 about 3 meg- watch out 56K'ers :)

....and heres the rest of the best (well the pug wasnt won of the best, but one my prize for ugliness and weirdness)... Hope you enjoyed :)

Most were locked- but not all. My pal fell in love with the Honda S2000 convertable with red leather (not sure if she's pushing out more that 200). aha- but did have a feel of the 350z gearbox and it was nice and tight, very well engineered and the satnav was chattering away in some foreign language. I cant wait until 15 years time when I can get one for £4K :) :dance: The sales guy didnt seem very impressed when I told him about me owning a 300ZX- blimin :xxx:

Had a great day at the Motor Show today! and of course spent a little time carressing the 350's on the Nissan stand :bow: If anyones going, I'd recommend going to see the Live Event! Lots of stunts including bikes, cars, carts etc and good story too- the Lovely Lady Octane (clad in PVC catsuit) has to rescue the secret Optimax formula. Was also nice to see the jags through the ages go on display including a fookin loud raced up e-type and the XJ220. I'll post some vids and pics up soon... Meanwhile heres a couple of :cool: pics: http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/beast.jpg http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/lambo.jpg http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/lotus.jpg http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/noble.jpg http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/merc.jpg http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/rari.jpg http://www.reading-bedandbreakfast.co.uk/roller.jpg More delights to come as soon as my slow piece of s$*t serial camera downloads them. AL (now enjoying a hard earned :duffer: stella :duffer: )

Any takers on a red Z whizzing up the M40 today (Sat 19) heading north around 5-30 probably 10 mins after Banbury? Dont suppose you saw me waving from the back of the Goldline coach on the way back from the Motor Show :( Only one me spotted though- nice to see we have rare motas :dance:

Theres always a risk of keying by some jealous twat, but that can happen anywhere- I guess you gotta just not think the worst and hope for the best :)

I might offer £100 quid for them nice spotless leather seats :rofl:

good stuff- might have to also invite my cameraman ;)
