*awaits the arrival of a cutting Funkysi critique* :lol:

Interesting one: When it failed it's MOT, it was showing 82841 kms. When it passed the following day, it was showing 51103 miles. Now 82841 kms converted into miles is 51776, so it managed to lose over 500 miles in the space of a day as well!! Dodgy. As. F*ck!!

In fact, I'm gonna call bull on it's most recent MOT! All those advisories were sorted out in a single day (including the emissions) and they managed to find time to reset the odometer as well? Taken to a different test centre the following day as well.... Seriously, hmmmmm!!!

According to it's MOT history, it's only just expired and the owner's selling it for FAR less than they paid for it... alarm bells ringing loud!!

I'm sure that this is the one I went to see up here last year! It seems to have the Altia quarter windows, same as that one did. And the windscreen trims look identically knackered as well. If it is the same one, the engine was running on 4 cylinders and the boost gauge was sat just below the centre mark on idle. The paintwork was pretty grim and the whole car was tatty overall. Bear in mind it was up for sale for £4k last year so, if it's now up for £1.5k with no MOT, I'm guessing the seller knows something they're not stating in the advert.......

Has our Car Of The Month competition died a death this year, by any chance?

Some people just have too much disposable cash..... :mad2: Happy new car, buddy! :thumbup1:

I love adverts like these! Where they clearly state: But then, lo and behold at the end of the ad: :rofl:

Pipe dream, man... a pipe dream... :lol:

^^^^ Exactly how mine sits too, Gaz.

I replaced my OEM spoiler with a Car.Mad replica and, according to the bodyshop, it was a good fit out of the box. Not perfect, but good. Sad to hear that a Kuruma part isn't cutting the mustard... not what I would've expected at all :(

I'm sure I saw somewhere that those slatted covers used to be widely available for our cars (back in the day, of course)... And every time I see a convertible Zed, I find myself wanting one more and more....... :pinch:

Why, Gaz? Just for the sake of originality, or some other reason? When mine was removed in 2014, it couldn't go in the bin fast enough! Granted, it sounds like mine was in far worse shape than either yours or Andrew's, but still...

For Zeb, I reckon.

Happy Burpday, Dean! :thumbup1:

Yeah - I've got a room booked in the hotel via Craig. :)

I'll be there for the weekend on my own as Fran has to stay home with the dogs.

You know the actual show's on the Sunday, right...?

I'm going down on the Saturday, Lee.

SWBs over here are ridiculously scarce, both in comparison to their LWB kin and just in car terms in general!!

You must have different rules over there, judging by how far the wheels are extending beyond the arches! :lol: Seriously though, that is cool... very cool indeed. She's a keeper! And happy birthday too :thumbup:

Correct! I've just pulled my spare clocks apart and the boost gauge is completely separate to the speedo :biggrin: I just need to replace the boost gauge (or the face of it) as I'm sick of it reading in "MMhgnrlhgskdsdb" :lol: instead of "PSI"

Anyone know how easy/hard it is to replace just the face on the stock boost gauge? Will I have to start removing needles and suchlike...?

I found that question being asked a lot as well. For example, when I mentioned the new exhaust system, most companies asked if it was purely cosmetic or cosmetic and performance-enhancing. They then went on to ask what the new BHP figure was for the car, so all I could do was estimate things. I understand why they ask the more in-depth questions, but I wasn't expecting them and so probably sounded like a bit of a muppet every time they asked and I just replied with "Errrrm.....!!" :lol:

I'm an old man... :wheelchair:
