looks a bit cheap for me... either they want a quick sale or they have undervalued it. at that price its a bonefied bargain! nice find gaz

Especially those ads for those blue pills, eh? My mate said he can give me a BIG discount on them, not sure what he meant though, I think he might be - you know - a bit limp wristed...:lol: Just renewed my insurance (had gone up about £80) so phoned all the usual comnpanies - A Plan, Swinton, Adrian Flux. Managed to get it back down to what I was paying, then my existing company said they'd match the offer. In other words - buggering about for nothing. Sky Insurance £760 fully comp - 6ncb - 5k miles per year (living in Bagdad... I mean Leicester)

Note to self - always read to end of thread before posting :lol:

Hmmm, are you quite sure about that? Don't seem to remember an E-type with a V8 in it..:wacko: However, your point was it was thirsty - I concurrrrrr Now - where did I park my V10 astravan?:whistling: :lol:

Did 1000miles in 7 days at xmas, apart from a couple of engine rebuilds, eleventy million tanks of fuel and 4 blown turbos - it was fine. If you are going to France, make sure you understand their driving laws. Simply stating 'Je n'comprende pas' will not stop you getting instantly arse rogered by the gendarmes. If you really piss them off they'll take your car off you, put you in jail for a bit and then deport you. Then you'll have to go back and pick your car up. Enjoy the driving - just don't take the piss speed wise, or be prepared to face the consequences:yinyang:

I was going to get the Missus some new tyres for Xmas (romantic, I know) So did a bit of online hunting, but cheapest I coud find were £42 a corner.. They're only tiny little things - 175 60 14s - and last year I got 4 tyres for my skyline (195, 55 16s) for £168, fitted. I was thinking, how can it cost the same for these smaller tyres? So, I phoned up the tyre centre that does the tracking for me on the Zed, and the best they could come up with was 4 no-brand budget tyres for £50 a corner. Needless to say, the missus isn't getting any new rubber boots this xmas. SHe'll have to make do with the perfume instead. Daylight robbery :censored:

Here it comes! What with my travel exploits yesterday, Xmas lunch was off the menu. So last night's xmas dinner consisted of me and me dad having rib-eye steak with home made chips (parsnip and potato). Lush as it was, the absolute best thing about xmas is the big dinner with all the trimmings. So, half hour ago a 14lb monster was royally stuffed into the oven and the folks are preparing the veg as i type! My sister and the kids are coming over for some sledging in a mo, then it'll be the big event later this afternoon. I love Xmas! What was the best bit of your dinner yesterday and what do you do differently (if anything) to give it a unique twist? Last year I did sweet-chilli carrots and parsnips, but not sure about this year. Maybe get all Heston-Blumentall on the sprouts or something! Anyways - Happy Xmas everyone, hope 2011 is a good year for all you lot:santa: Cheers :duffer:

Well, what a day Up at 6:wacko: -10c outside :no: Scrape the frost off 3 cars, do some shuffling about, then pedal to the carpet. Scotland here I come. Would have travelled yesterday but I was working and didn't fancy a mega-drive on xmas eve. So, a couple of tanks of fuel later I'm up here in Bonny Scotchland. And its warm (ish)! That said, been for a walk on a frozen loch this afternoon - so not that warm... I was seriously in two minds about the journey. Option 1 was leave the Zed on the drive and take the missus' Clio (she's abroad over xmas). Option 2 was fire up the millenium falcon and hit the hyperdrive button, but risk causing terminal structural rot by hitting intergalactic salt crystals. As mitigation I got the bucket out and whispered sweet nothings in her ear, hoping that she would forgive me, for her salty abuse :lol: Anyway - back on topic. Had a good run, but had 5 miles of absolute arse-clenching white-knuckle fear just south of Berwick on the A1. The road had turned to solid ice and the first thing I noticed was a strange slewing sensation (similar to warn rear shocks!) at 70mph:surrender::surrender: After crapping my pants at 30mph for another 5 miles, I finally got into scotland - where they know how to grit a fookin road properly - and all was well again. Did my good deed and reported the ice to the highways agency.. OK - the Facts -10c lowest temp 105 litres of Ultimate 20mpg average peak speed ***+mph (its quick...) Average Speed 69.23mph (with 2 10min stops) 10+kg of crusty salt 50litres soapy water Christmas Day Driving: DONE:thumbup1:

yeah - wtf? why bother with licences if you're gonna have XP instead. I really don't think anyone tested this game.. Have you noticed on the AMG special events, that it has to load and unload the track every time you change sector? Even though its the same track. What the.. ? Seriously flawed game.. still can't stop playing it though:taz: Lambo 670-4 SV round the 'Ring is awesome...:wink:

not a chance... Salt.. :ohmy:

Impending unemployment and a mortgage - that works for me:crying:

Have to disagree That roof ruins the lines, doesn't do anything for me - give me a vert anyday or a targa or an (icky) slicky

323bhp @ fly 275 @ wheels you sure its not been chipped?

If it were me, I woulda inched a bit closer and got a snap to show the lads at the pub... "oh yeah, that was me holiday romance like, fog on the tyne all mine all mine, like mon"

Yeah, One of my recent threads had asked the question what engines have found their way into Zeds. If a RB26 fits, then you can bet an RB25 will be just as easy. Good idea, get it swapped out the SX:hammer:

Wonder if he's figured out why his boost gauge isn't working. Probably did it to get people looking IMO

Either your Japanese is very good, or you should be an accident investigator. All i could deduce was the engine came out of the smouldering burnt thingy, and the white crumpled thingy wasn't quite as bad, but the driver probably lost his head. Very sad, let's hope no-one on here has a big accident. No street racing folks:hammer:

I've just had a phone call from Frank Warren.. He's asked me to step in the ring in Audrey's great come back fight.. I've no boxing experience, i'm slightly out of shape and start weazing at the top of the stairs; so Frank asked me if I could go easy on Audrey and make sure I don't hit him too hard. Apart from having a glass jaw, he also has a porcelain forehead, egg-shell temples and a fragile state of mind. I politely declined on the basis that I wouldn't be able to hold up the big bag of shite if he decided to have a sleep mid-round.. I did however volunteer my 6 yr old neice, I think she would be a worthy opponent. Audrey - If you do read this, can you please return to the hospital for your medication. You need to put Audrey's special jacket back on and have a little sleep in the nice soft room with no windows or sharp objects.. You giant toss pot.

32 (i think) 1st Zed bought 6 months ago. Can see this experience is going to last a while! (hopefully)

That's why I like this site so much, people have so much empathy and sympathy!!:biggrin:

Exactly - which means its a good time to do another. In that time 300 club members have either died, sold or crashed their zed, not to mention the eleventy million that have broken down - permanently. If the man wants to do a poll let him, thats what I say:rockon: I love a good poll:lol:

In my line of work we're always digging up old bottles. One of my lads sold a clear bottle with a blue-neck on flea-bay for about £150 the other day. Doubled his day's wage in one lucky glance! Needless to say, I'm a lot more observant when it comes to bottles now!

Looks a bit like a Maserati Quattroporte, Granturismo thingy - i.e: nice! Shame though, if you have to plug a car in to make it 'green' then it ain't really green. Same goes for every electric hybrid. (unless you have a wind turbine to charge it, but it still doesn't account for the filthy batteries that its charging) Jaguar's newest concept is a better twist on it - but still not perfect (still uses 'dirty' batteries). http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/firstdrives/259393/jaguar_cx75.html When are we going to get a genuine 'green' performance fuel/motor?

Aye, second that - class lookin motor mate:tongue_smilie:

Sorry gruntpa - you missed my point - I don't think that at all. I was using it as an example of people not wanting to contribute towards something they think they don't get any return from. As it happens I have been to hospital and actually think the NHS do a pretty good job. HAve a re-read and see if it makes anymore sense now... Cheers bud
