broken heart today
Ah, so I see it was you who fitted that rear light panel in the first place... in that case hardly looks any different apart from being a lot dirtier

Painful to look at, especially that rear light panel and sticker on the side. Another classic spoiled by a chav

Start of the week off the wall thread
I don't think that far into the future, as things stand I have not even started paying into a private pension yet in my 30th year

300zx v Aston Martin Vantage S
Gotta say thats a very unremarkable looking Aston especially in the 2nd pic next to your lovely Zed. It almost makes the Aston look like a crappy crossover that is currently polluting Britain's roads.

e cigarettes
As an experienced user of these devices I will warn you of one thing: if you ever go back on the fags you will smoke more than you ever did in the first place because of these devices. I went to Pamplona at the start of July and had my e-cig taken off me by pikey Ryanair so when I got there I bought fags. I now smoke 20 a day after none for about 2 years using an e cig and before the e cig I was on probably about 10 a day. Not good.

Phone Upgrade
All these new phones are way too big for me to consider. I have the Iphone 5 at the moment and would never want to go any bigger than that!
-
300zx that has been laid up.
The way that thing has been stored has probably done it more harm than if it was used daily for 12 years.

Czecheapchallenge 2014 Rally
There is no intercooler so it must be a TD, thought it was a TDS as it states TDS on the Hpi. All I do know is that it makes a lovely noise but is slow as ****.

ps4 or xbox one
I have both consoles at the moment, the PS3 started weak but got stronger so I re bought it a few times having been an early adopter...but this time i'm sticking with the PS4 because I don't want Kinect nor do I want this all in one entertainment system crap that MS are pushing. Sky looks like crap through streaming anyway its a million times better via the dish!

I have indeed seen DX11 games and my opinion still stands. I'm not against PC gaming at all but i'm not about to drop 2k on something that loses value faster than a Chevrolet. Plus I played the original Crysis to death and to say it has better graphics than Last of Us is very questionable. And yes I did play it on max settings ;)

The only games I play on PC are Torchlight 1+2, Football Manager and Starcraft 2. All the others are better and more enjoyable on a console irrelevant of the graphical differences in my opinion. Plus graphics wise a game can't get much more beautiful than the best game of this generation 'The Last of Us' on PS3. What an experience that game is. Plus the new Grand Theft Auto will be optimised for consoles and run like a turn on PC like the last one did regardless of how much you have spent on a rig so if you really want to play the best games I fear consoles are still the way forward....and much cheaper initial outlay. Plus if you wait a few months the games go the same price or even cheaper than their PC versions so that argument is laid to rest too.

I do like a PC for gaming but you can't beat a console for proper gaming. I can't imagine myself ever getting four of my mates in front of a PC to play FIFA and the best game out this generation was a PS3 game...case rests.

Czecheapchallenge 2014 Rally
Many of you will remember that I did the Barcelona Bangers Rally back in May 2012 in a VW Sharan. http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?161604-The-Love-Bus-aka-Sherbie I couldn't make this years to Barcelona due to work commitments but luckily enough I have booked my team onto next years outing. The same organizers have arranged for us to do a different route next year however, starting in Bruges and finishing in Prague. Details can be found here: http://czecheapchallenge.co.uk/ This time due to a smaller team we have decided to go for a smaller vehicle (needed a 7 seater last time) and this is the tool for the job: Its a 1994 BMW 325 TDS, 6 CYL diesel engine with 283,000 miles on the clock and rising! Runs like a watch and drives beautifully. All for the modest sum of £200 and came with 10 months MOT and a trickle of TAX. I'm going to use it as my daily driver until we start modifying/painting it ready for the rally that starts May 2014.

WelshZ used to use them and they seemed fine

How much would it cost to sell your Z?
He means how much would it take for you to give up your Zed i.e everything has its price
-
Cambelt cost?
Yes swap out the thermostat aswell how could I forget that!
-
Cambelt cost?
You will have to change the water pump, hoses and anc belts at the same time so will need to factor in the cost for that too. I think Zedworld were charging around £300 before

May be going to look at a zed. Need opinions please :-)
The second one looks lovely!

May be going to look at a zed. Need opinions please :-)
I only know what its worth to the trade as I have glasses guide in my hand now and it is mileage adjusted to about 1550. I think privately you have it priced fine but as your dealing with a trader he almost certainly has a figure of about 1500 that he is standing it in at.

I see lol Whatcar strikes again. Seriously though if he has offered you £200 and the car taxed and serviced then that is a pretty fair deal in my opinion. Just check that 300 over properly because any warranty he gives you will not be worth the paper it is printed on!
