Make it look like a regular business sized letter and I am sure you'll be fine. Don't just put a fiver in the envelope on its own.

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500's: They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor"But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot...........they "didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the lowest of the low. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell . .. . brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!" Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your n ice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold. (Getting quite an education, aren't you?) In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat. Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust. Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake. England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer... And that's the truth...Now, whoever said History was boring ! ! !

See if the grade can be matched first. Maybe krsmayo has the details of the guys that did it.

Rip out the tint and get it redone.

:rofl: Sarcasm rules! :bow:

Don't bother with dump valves. Apart from my own personal hatred for them, they serve no purpose. They actually dump metered air and will cause rich running, hesitation and a delay in boost pressure...not always noticeable, but because the ECU is working on the premise that any unused air is recirculated via the recirc valves, the above can always be expected when running stock management. A set of known good recirc valves or Bailey's own DV30 recirc valve is the best option. Infinitely better than wasting your time with something as benefit-less as a dump valve. :)

Yup, that's them. Fitting them turns the Z into a thalidomide victim. Dad used to live in Porto.....long time ago and was there during the revolution. Lived in Lisbon too and also worked at the University of Coimbra. He is fluent in Portuguese and taught English as a foreign language.

Why do you want to like it? It's like wanting to find Jo Brand sexually attractive.

Yeah, it's the 'aero' kit by Bomex. Or 'Bomex Aero'. Good job it doesn't have the Bomex mirrors on there as they are really nasty. PS, my father used to live in Portugal. :)

It's a Bomex kit.

Can't remember that ebay Z. Only the nose panel and wheels let it down. Looks ok other than that. Not my first choice of front bumper, but I quite like the colour.

No, I think you should move to the 'Fast Car' forums. They'll like your type who are into MDF bodykits and lurid paint. :rofl: You get to hang out with all the chavs and their bling then!

Their sole way of vehicle identity is by vin only. Slightly different to over here. Their licence plates are not transferred with the car and are meaningless and hold no history. Not sure that this is a reason as to why they get it for free, but vehicle identity is carried out in a slightly different way over there. Just like doing a reg check is over here.

Baring in mind Martin's an insomniac and has only had 2 hours sleep this week, I think it's safe to disregard his opinion for the time being. ;)

Does your missus look like this? :rofl: :wack:

It's worse, but the only image that I could find to represent it was a urinal from the toilets at Khartoum international airport in Sudan.

I think you're waaaayyyy beyond mental! How can you like something so ugly? It's like having an opinion on the design aspect of a suppository or a tube of bum cream.

I'd rather give Hattie Jacques corpse cunnilingus whilst having H1N1 infected pigs rammed up my chocolate starfish that be seen dead anywhere near that rancid blob of manatee spunk! Yes, I like it that much! :rofl:

This is the nicest on Ebay USA. Note, 96+ USA cars had blue tint windows too. Much nicer look. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-Nissan-300ZX-Twin-Turbo-5sp-100-Stock-White-Black_W0QQitemZ170460682786QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item27b03f9a22

Paint looks arse as well. Reminds me of Karl300zx's revolting monstrosity.

That is utterly fookin' vile. Seen it before and it's on the 3ZC 'nasty ricer Zs' thread. Pig ugly from EVERY angle! :hurl: It's about as visually appealing as the urinals at Charing Cross station. Hewn from a solid lump of MDF and designed by a failed year 12 GCSE Design Technology student. Think you might need to check yourself into the nearest mental institute for a full examination! :wack:

Did all my doors, rear quarters and parts of the boot. Not sure if it made any difference really. Made the doors seem a little more solid, but that's about it I guess. A lot of it is to do with the overal design of the frame as well and using anti vibration sealants/grommets and the way the flitches and mounts in the frame of the car are designed. On a 20 year old car like the Z32, there's only so much you can do.

Ok cool. Well, hope to see you again in the summer...this side of the world! Be a lot less humid than Tulsa was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome. Z looks good. Nice to see a decent unmolested car. :) You'd be better off with upgraded SMICS with a stock front end. :) Good SMICs are just as good as a decent FMIC.
