What appears to be blowing here?
for 'regeneration' to occur you have to get a few parameters right. It'll want a high soaked temp in the exhaust/settled water temps/might want you at constant revs above idle- So motorways do have a use!! Different regeneration from each manufacturer I'm suggest(On Nissan you force them & you could plug-in and read if the regeneration has or is occurring) -BUT the difference DPFilteres make to you is when you never see a diesel pulling away trailing a black cloud of soot. ever again. and thats Brilliant :)

2013 Z car hybrid.
I Think you'd be OK to sit and yak when in a pub sometime Zedzilla. just as long as we hadn't had to many. cos we're just guessing at the future. I am quite sure that the public gets what the public wants/ manufacturers will not make what they cannot sell weither what they sell is right or wrong. I'd be funny as feck to hear the longterm view against the shortterm. We'd both think we were mad. I remember the Emails when the 'uprising ' were against petrol costing more than milk- ltr for ltr, the 'call to arms!'. nothing changed. "Mild hybrids will be an intermediate step" is the most sense I have seen in this thread(amoungst much)simply tweaking what we have until the next best thing comes along and the public embraces it. My knowledge only extends to 5yrs before the public gets its hand on the product. thats my short term view explained hopefully. I dont like to offer guesses unless its face to face (and you can see my face ;) I mean yeah, I hear stuff said about the drilling of oil. I dont drill oil so who to believe. I do the job in front of me. I'm not going to pick at everything you say cos I have warmed to you (dunno why) but I like your last line. I want to see cars so quirky and dumb we will smile as we say to kids " I remember them" & laugh lots.- I expect we have some weird cars in our near future. And our past?.... the Mazda Bongo is the most influential and technologically advanced car we have seen in decades. Nissan, and every car company, spent millions upon millions trying to do what Mazda did 'for a laugh'.I dont know what's going to happen next. I'm only certain it's called Friday.

Christmas meet
you can tidy this later no doubt. its off topic but how else to tell you, ZX-tt. the MOT has expired and if I keep it as a daily I'll never lift a finger except basic up-keep. I have a second car to play around in (race ya!) this allows me to take time and do it properly whatever I do. BUT.. thank you for the offer of assistance. thats very kind. espesh since you are more than busy with your own wobbling seeping issues. (and thats just the girlfriend...BAH-BOOM!). goodluck with the move! Its a great place to live for access to the Mkeynes hockey stadium every sunday. :)

Mild hybrids will be an intermediate step/I think EV's will be a short lived solution- Paul.C ... with you for sure on that view. Wow you think in the now don't you- Zedzilla...(Hyde park corner needs you!) Yes, it stop me from walking into things.

2013 Z car hybrid.
yes Zedzilla :) . My view was shorter-term ( ignoring LPG cos Ive never been involved with it)Yes water/and hydrogen cars must be the far future. I reckon I wont buy one in this lifetime tho. got a horrible feeling cos I like a bit of growl under the bonnet I'll be driving a diesel. (with three wheels too) Hey (you prob have) you heard they have been getting massive mpg from diesel 2-strokes using them on tanker size boats? Imagine the 2-stroke engine coming back to save the planet! hahahahaha. its afunny ol'world.

Christmas meet
I suggest YOUR NEW HOUSE!!! Hurray!!! its a fair ol'trek but who better to be the host? -on a more serious side it'd depend on the area/ group to be sharing with wouldn't it? Its great that you are organising another meet either way. :)

2013 Z car hybrid.
sorry to report.. The Future is diesel. - due to 40% (of a barrel)of crude oil can be made into diesel. Against 6% petrol.[speaking roughly cos space is limited] now diesel particulate filters rule, the publics lungs are saved. And the daftest thing!!! the game is all about emissions but the more intrusive the emission test the worse the MPG . true enough its a bit backward in the emissions lab. -expect to see small capacity petrol turbo's. stop start tech everywhere. diesel sports cars. cars running round with two batteries because the electrics are paramount. curb weighs always rising. ( survey says the public will not buy a car with handle wound windows)

Spoilt for choice...
why not. life can be short so have something you like. I get the impression Dazvert has good access, or works in a body shop too. he did a great job of repairing an M5 I think I recall. I admire all of you people for keeping your cars in great condition and.. well.. "if everbody looked the same, we'd get tired of looking at each other"

Spoilt for choice...
Some fella has the mega-wave spoiler (^first photo on bed) looks like he's trying to hard to disguise his old granada. certainly gets a car noticed tho. I have a 95 spoiler you can add to the collection too if you fancy it. could be a laugh. I'm thinking you could have the best shelves EVER in your house. :)

intermitant speedo.
I have seen all my dials 'lose power' momentarily before whilst trundling along. figured it was a loose wire/dodgy connection due to crappy install(imported car). hasn't happened for ages wheh-hey! but- unhelpful temp gauge hasn't indicated signs of life for a while now. I put that down to the guage being a teenager.

Hello Rusty sills. hahahaha. If only you had waited (cos I somehow just knew it was you :) ) I would have written a 'spotted' for you. See you have not had time to paint your car illuminous green or pink yet! She comes of the road today. You running on thru winter? that must be fun in the city of short straights and round-a-bouts. Enjoy! :)

Pub Meet Sat 22th October 2pm
haha! a top meet.Why people leave so early?.. I came away inspired to do all kinds of reckless things to my bank account. Saw my first ever Blue Zed. drove home heavy in contemplation about the airflow aspects of Andy's next bonnet. Didn't see anyone handing anyone else a plenum.. should I not mention that????
-
HAHA! I'm not a Z expert but.....
or 5 TT's actually running with faults.

Pub Meet Sat 22th October 2pm
If I can stop fiddling in my mind with my Zed for two seconds- you know... do I like my tinted windows...or dont I.... :) .. what bonnet do I fancy wearing this season... am I happy now I've chopped my hair off, or does it clash with the level of the spoiler... hahahahahaha. Yeah its miles (30?)away but I could fancy a stroll along the banks of the thames, before, at Henley in this romantic autumn shade, using my height adjustable windows occasionally on the way over. hahaha I kill myself hahaha!!.. wasssat?? you wish I would??

Green Zed, Milton Keynes
LeoE.. who are you??? A regular at wakeMK??? :) I built that rainbow rail in that lake. The Zed is there alot... but season is over now. I'm not riding thru winter, except one quick ride at Princes to try their new rainbow for a bit of comparison- still, enough Wakeboard talk.
