Convertible Z query
Mine just doesnt have a heated window switch, perhaps heated mirrors was optional extra Front windscreen is the second radio aerial. All zeds came with aerial in window as well as normal aerial, vert in front window, rest of zeds in rear window

any djs here?
Cdjs are industry standard because they came out first and everyone got used to them, bought them and now expect them. Denon were just to late with the dn5000 which does far more and i prefer over the cdj1000. Technics were even later with their offering. I think if people hadnt got used to cdjs, but had gone straight from vinyl to the technics cd players then thats what everyone would be using. Incidentally cdj1000 are discontinued and the replacements are cdj900 or cdj2000 Speaker wise i quite like RCF art series or turbosound milan15

Need to know what the fuse box layout is....
The bose amps were turned on by the stereo. Standard adapter plugs for aftermarket stereos tend to not include this cable. If you find the loom going to the speakers from the headunit it should have 2 wires for each speaker and one to switch the amp on ( and maybe another wire, ground? ) when you find the right wire splice into the stereo ignition feed or remote amp out, or elec arial out

Beaulieu Simply Japanese Event
I was too busy watching birds of prey, eating ice cream, riding monorail, having lunch, walking in gardens, looking round house, looking round abey, riding open top bus, top gear museum, james bond museum, more birds, more ice cream. I tried explaining it was a car meet, but apparently it was me that was mistaken. Your car was stunning, in fact they were all very nice examples Even if you did miss mine out of most of the photos :)

Rides section update !
The general section only seems to allow 4 pictures, but when you look at a garage with 4 pictures ( ie my slicktop) the layout suggests 6 photos would look better. Is 6 pictures an option?

Suggestion for Members' trading
Also , a lot of people buy stuff and don't get round to fitting it for a while ( or even years) i have bought stuff before ( here and ebay and elsewhere) that looked fine when it arrived ( and i would have oked payment or given positive feedback) but when i went to fit it sometime later it was broken / missing parts / not the right part etc Or worse you fit the part, give positive and it breaks the next day
