I still can't see a date! Hasn't membership increased to £17 as well?

I am probably being completely hopeless but when is my renewal due? Can't find the date on my profile. I'm guessing it is about now as I can't PM!

Fair enough, I only go for fun bets on this, betting what I am prepared to lose.

Who has some insider tips, maybe Mac knows and can make us all some money. This is probably the only horse race I ever consider betting on. I just tend to pick a name I like and then check the odds. Runners and Riders

Always been my dream car but the dash looks awful IMHO and when I had an Elise I talked many times to the Lotus seller local to where I once lived and even he said they were very expensive to maintain. I always wanted the 2.2 Turbo just because of the 4.7 sec to 60 from such a small engine but now I would want a V8 for the sound and feel. However I was also seriously put off by the TV program that tried to achieve 200 mph from one and learnt that the gearbox is from an Austin Metro!

That's priceless and no animals were injured!

I like it apart from the "froggy" indicators.

:headvswal Sounds like a potentially great meet, unfortunately I'm working!

How cool!

I have seen other kits with even less pieces, I'm happy with mine, doesn't seem many other places to put more pieces! TBH I don't think I would want all those pieces.

I bought mine from a US seller but don't have the details anymore and worked out cheaper than that. Mine all fitted well and really lifts the interior.

Filter wise I would recommend a polarising filter for a SLR, you can adjust the polarising effect and make blues bluer and greens greener (Postcard photographers use them for beach shots etc...)

Alternatively get yourself a good old fashioned SLR as Vini suggested and get a film rated 50 or lower (normal is 100 or 200) This increases the number of 'pixels' in the film hence giving better colour results, just go into a decent camera shop and the 'geeks' will know. You can then get film developed, send me the negatives and i will put them on CD for you or just get them done onto a CD at the shop.

If you change the aperture and allow the camera to set exposure or vice versa you will in theory get the same colours reproduced but changing the aperture does alter the depth of field (how much is in focus and how much is out) but I can't remember which way. However if you start going to long on exposure you have to be able to hold the camera still for long enough so may need a tripod or solid surface to rest it on. Secondly if you want long exposures you could set the timer on the camera, this way you stop that slight movement which will blur long exposures as you aren't holding the camera. I bet you are now thinking information overload!

Turn the flash off. Don't need that in the daytime, sun should be enough.

Experiment, point at something really bright then turn to subject and photograph and likewise point at something really dark and then photograph same subject and see the differences.

I reckon the camera is settinng up the aperture and exposure based on the mettalic paint being quite bright and resulting in underexposed photo's. To combat this point the camera at grass or tarmac and push the button half way thus setting the cameras exposure and aperture and then poinnt at car to focus and hey presto potentially correctly exposed photo's! I believe most digital camera's beep when you push button halfway lettinng you know exposure and aperture is set.

And a far better performer than a MX3!

How about a 200SX?

I quite agree, why Man Utd paid Leeds for that I will never know.

What else will they chrome?

I would hazard a guess someone was seriously hurt in it, I would never want any part of a car that has had something like that happen.

Welcome. 300zx.co.uk Buyers guide : http://www.300zx.co.uk/tech/BuyingZ.htm Other buying guides : http://www.300zx.org.uk/tech_20.htm I'd recomend going for a Club member owned car if you can, at least that way you know its been owned by an enthusiast with access to the clubs knowledge, and you can even read through current owners posts to see history on the car.

Relatively new battery though, I will keep an eye on it.

What the hell, try jump starting her and she starts, WTF was that all about? Still can not explain the clicking noise though, most unusual. Oh well, plus point is no garage bills, this time anyway!
