Cheers PK, the weather was still nasty on the way home, hole still full of water, but will head out in the morning and do just that.

I took about a dozen photo's , using different objects to get an idea of the scale of the hole. What worries me is the car is not leaning to one side bacause of a busted shock, the whole front has dropped completely on both sides

Thanks guys, there no way to explain how gutted I am.

Sorry I can't make it for the near future Tulip, check my pothole post on general discussion. Just typical, i was looking really forward to it :(

Can't believe this has happened after the time and money i've put into her this year. This morning on the way to work in heavy rain I went over what i thought was a small puddle, but it turned out to be a deep hole. Two loud bangs as both passenger side wheels hit it. Got out , furious, and checked my new alloys for any damage, found some scratches but was too wet and dirty to examine further so got back in, drove 10 yards down the road, and then it got worse. Suddenly there was some very nasty noises then the whole front suspension seemed to collapse . pulled over and found the whole front of the car sitting on the wheels and the front spoiler touching the ground. Called a recovery vehicle to remove it and take it to nissan. 180 quid recovery charge later i'm on the phone to the co. council trying to remain calm as they explain the painfully slow procedure involved making a claim. I won't have the assesment from nissan till monday, but it's going to be big. I've just had shocks , cambers and new track rod ends sorted last week and a full wheel alignment and tracking done 4 days ago. So here I am zedless for the near future, and the money I was going to spend on goodies is going on repairs, 'til I get a claim up and running :cry: :cry: :cry:

:eek: In one way that doesn't make me feel too bad ,and that i'm not a complete idiot when it comes to mechanics.

Nice one, never thought of that ;) looks like i'm not gonna have a busy weekend :D

Can't remember his name but someone on here's got a silver z with those lights and they look good. Sarge, you must get a great buzz looking in your rear view mirror when stopped at the lights :bow: :bow: :bow:

Well all may not be lost then. Thanks Andy.

i bought a set of new ebc front discs and pads in march ,and after some good advice on here decided to do the job myself . BAD IDEA. In the last couple of weeks I notice vibration/shaking when I brake at high speeds. I know warping is common if the bolts are not tightened properly, so i'm guessing this is the case :( Funny thing is If I brake very hard it goes away, it's only when i first touch the pedal, but still very scary to brake at 100+ and feel the steering wheel wobble. All my wheels,tyres and tracking are in order so I can rule that out. Is it too late, are the discs fooked?? :(

Sorry guys, i meant to wind up dd and Co. , but it didn't work out, there are no pm's!..If you read the first post again it might make sense Again, apologies I ever started this stupid thread :o

yep, in a nutshell :rofl:

Don't think so, I've had to reroute to get back here as everytime I reply i'm told i don't have access. So they're up to something. This needs sorting. Anything I can do? coke cans in a towel?

I love it when a plan doesn't come together :rofl:

Ok , Hope everyone has recieved the pm from mac 1, you know what to do. firstly the Id tracking we used is unorthodox so If anyone does anything silly remove all messages.

Bit of a coincidence isn't it?

:o :o yep did the same thing, foamy stuff is so soft it's easy to make a b*lls of it, looks great after you paint it tho. and not the cheapest thing either

I've had the same message as Mac, someone tried to log on as chewie 5 times, will post the ip adress to Mac now, what the hell's going on?

No, they didn't want yours because a 205mph z is being kept for the special edition :rofl: :D :rofl: Seriously, cheers vini, hope to see you in it next year. I was lucky in that I happened to log on the night Nick asked for pics, so as they say,early bird catches the worm!

LOl sorry!, with the amount of weird names on here it's hard to tell! i'm on the kilkenny road 5 miles outside Waterford, I guess dundalk would be fine, just let me know when it's on, Mick.

Good idea suzy, between both clubs there must be someone involved in the printing industry. These calendars must have been a pain to make and put together but the results speak for themselves :bow:

Right now ABC-lexicon of love, classic Trevor Horn produced album, in the Morning Katie melua, afternoon ministry of sound , and evening Vangelis/Pink Floyd

These guys/guy has been doing the same on the supra forum, possibly more, so Guess he/she/they have had their fun so lets not make anymore replies.

could you please paint a big white x on your targas as i am flying to london tomorrow and will ask the pilot if he will announce it on the intercom when he spots you. would that do? :D :rofl: PS he could be a yank, would you like him to say Zed or ZEE?

And in the stillen catalogue there is a wing mirror bra.. :rolleyes: ...you'd never know, they might go all droopy when your away
