Youre about right there!!

Now youve gone and done it; ;) From age 16 Honda MBX 50 Honda MT5 (with big bore kit) At 17 MK1 Astra GTE bought and sold in 2 weeks due to realising it was over £1800 to insure at 17 years old Mini 1275GT (blew 3 engines in as many weeks) Metro Turbo (no one told me you needed to regular oil changes on tubo cars, so that only lated a month) Astra MK2 1.3GL (kept for a year of solid boy racing, till it died in a head on crash) Talbot Horizon (that me and my mate bought with beer money and promptly wrecked) Cortina 1.6GL (just a nail as i knew a ban was approaching) At 18 Banned for 2 1/2 years for dangerous driving. At 21 Nova 1.2 "flair" which i had to put up with for 2 1/2 years waiting for licence to get clean, insurance to go down. At 23 Astra GTE cabriolet (i liked it at the time okay!!!) At 25 1989 ZXTT in Blue, bought it from a con man,broke it, took it back, my friend extracted a refund 1991 ZXTT in red, and this ones my current one and wouldnt part with her!!! And I can even remember all the Reg plates too!!!

One thing to bear in mind is insurance, you pay hgher insurance for an import, this is true, when i reinsured my tt this year i got a quote on an NA too by mistake, the NA and the TT (imports) were both the same price, a quote for a UK TT was lower than this but it will be. So in short you can insure a UK TT for less than a import NA. Or an NA import for the same as a TT import.

I must disagree there, Ive known Mac a while now, and I can honestly say his car IS the right colour!:p :p :p

Pete did you clean the TB's when you did the thingy on em? If not it may have some shyte lodged up in em causing the TB's not to open /close right. Good Luck. I believe that Det sounds like a marble being shook in a bucket, but i dont think ive ever heard it:confused:

How can a noise sound white????:confused:

I only smoke cos when i was younger i was told that it made you look hard if you smoke!!!!

I think theyre them light up dustcap things arent they?:confused:

I dunno, spose im going to have toget my head under there!!!:(

Tony, ive heard you praise the ALC before but i dont fully know what it does, it seems like a v cheap mod for such a great gain, and if it only takes 5 mins you wont mind helping me fit one to mine!!!! Bring your spanners mate!!!;)

Let me know when you want a test car!!;)

Doubt if im imagiing the rear tyre on that sid wearing out, but still ill have a look on the z centre site and see what i can see, better get the wheel off at the weekend i suppose!!

Nope, we both have J specs:(

Im not going to throw mac in personally, but i have a cunning plan...... im going to throw a pie in there and watch him instinctivey follow it!!!!:D :D :p :p ;) Doh, think I might just have bumped myself up the list again!!!:eek:

Pete let me know when you find somewhere, and see if you can get discount for 2 as im in the same boat as you, cept with direct line!!;)

Does this mean I can cancel my swimming lessons now mac, as i must have shifted down the order a fair bit now?;)

Direct Line 0845 246 8811 J Spec no mods value £5000 £450 excess main and only car. 10,000 miles aprox, Garaged. 26 years old, No accidents claims or convictions, CV postcode £722 fully comp (theft cover subject to tracker) Oddly enough i got a quote by accident by clicking on a NA aswell to my suprise whether NA or TT the insurance quote was the same!!!:confused:

I think thats one of the little quirks of the Zed clock mine regularly resets itself, you will notice if you press the reset it only resets the mins, so your clock is a buggered a mine!!! Good news is its a kick up the arse to pull it out and put a boost controller in its place;) Bad news dont go to nissan for a new one, as macca posted on another thread; LOL how about part number 25820-40P00 digital clock £175+VAT :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

DOH!!!! That was a typo I meant to type porsche 911 turbo, sometimes my fingers overtake my brain!!!;)

Direct line do mine, best i could find, £722 fully comp 26 year old J spec no mods, demand tracker though (mental note must get one as if it gets nicked im buggered at the mo). As for convictions i know where youre comming from, when i got mine back i had 2 X DD40's, 2 X CD10's and some others, 2 claims, 2 bans, and had to pay £1300 tpft on a group 3 1.2 nova. I have learnt my lesson now........................admit NOTHING!!!;)

Many thanks for all youve done, personally i dont think you should go, but its your choice of course, i dont know all the politics of what been going on all i know is youve done a damn fine job of keeping this place going for as long as ive known the place. Ive said this before but if it wasnt for this place and the people on it I wouldnt still be driving a zed ,(dare say its the same for alot of others too), owning a zed now is not just about the car but its also about the community. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

OK, not interested anymore, much more important things going on on here, than your drivel.
