There needs to be competition to the new Z4....oops.... I mean the new supra...!

Welcome!

I have a red key for my red car, a black key for my black car, a silver key with red writing for my red car and a blank silver key with black writing for my black car plus two backup generic keys hidden in the house somewhere..... does that count? ?

Thanks! Shame about the other end!

Replaced by an assortment of 7.62 cross and flat head screws!

I hope everyone is doing ok! My wife and I have been in self-isolation since Friday because she stayed in an LA hotel where someone tested positive. We have no symptoms but are getting cabin fever and still have a week left! This brings me on to the thread topic: what have you guys been doing to keep busy and pass the time? It's taken me 6 days, but I have sorted out my garage (almost) and built a workbench! It was a test of my carpentry and painting skills (neither which are any good, but it's not going to fall down anytime soon! Keep safe and don't get too bored!

I've always loved your cars colour, very special. Whats the blue thing on the nose panel? Light refraction?

I lived in china for almost ten years. Having experienced the way the government deals (or not) with things, it really wouldn't surprise me. My wife is Chinese and she told me that the far side of "the great firewall" is awash with rumours, fake news and conspiracy theories. One being that it was started by the US military wiping the virus on streetlights. Another being that it didn't start in china, it's not China's fault, it's the evil west's fault (this was given more credence when trump started calling it "the Chinese virus" and the Chinese embassy making a statement) ?

A virus that's only affects mobile phone using drivers, bad drivers and people that take an hour to drive away after filling up at the petrol station...

I have a PC and steam...

Get a Playstation ?

Out there are 60 million people all singing you a happy birthday while washing their hands ?

Welcome! it is against club rules to post in this section without photos.... ?

People are idiots. We have cultivated a country of un-educated people with no common sense. If everyone had gone out in the first place and only bought 3 of everything, this wouldnt have been a problem. Now older people are stuck at home with no way to get to the shops that are all empty anyway. People should be ashamed. I have made a point of going to the supermarket every time I need food (about every third day) and only filling a basket. Its been interesting actually, ive been trying so many new products and finding myself cooking stuff at home I wouldnt normally try to cook. Ive lost 3kg of weight so far and am a lot healthier! If people had started avoiding each other from day one, wearing masks and sanitising themselves all the time, we wouldnt be in this situation. If people had avoided bars and pubs, shopping centres and mcDonalds they probably wouldnt have had to shut as a gentle stream of customers waiting sensibly outside is better than closing and firing staff. In all honestly I blame the tabloids for most of this. Scaring people with "herd immunity", mudding the water with "self-isolation" and "social distancing"!. Why not explain it to people: Social distancing is where people go about normal life, they go to work and the shops, but they stay more than 2m away from people and dont come into contact with people for more than 5 minutes, they dont have the virus, but avoid people to stop it spreading as people can be carriers but not infected. Self-isolation should be called "quarantine", people are not allowed out into public because they possibly have the virus, someone they know possibly has the virus or they are vulnerable for whatever reason. Lastly; all this money that is being pumped into the economy to keep it running and to pay for airlines, trains, bar workers etc is great and seems amazing and helpful, but just remember we will be paying it back in our taxes eventually. i hope we will all be ready for a massive tax bill at the end ? Stay safe people and please look after your neighbours if they need it... ?

All good here, had a cold for a couple of days, but no symptoms. Driving buses but havent heard if we will be sent home and all services stopped yet. I suspect not.

Thank you! excellent news, especially as I nearly always put super petrol in my nissans

As im sure we have all read, the UK is going to shift over to E10 petrol to help curb emissions: https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/emissions/what-is-e10-fuel-and-how-could-it-affect-you/ It seems most(!) cars before either 2000 or 2002 cant use this blend of petrol according to the link above and the pdf below. I wanted to find out more information because if "normal" E5 stops being sold, do I have to live with reduced power and/or fuel lines being eaten by this new, more corrosive blend. I went to my local Nissan dealer to ask them about it and the first response to "I drive a 300zx" was "what is that?". Not a great start I admit. I asked my question and to cut a long story short, he didnt know! When certain large scottish bus company changed from B10 to B20 (20% biodiesel) for the first month many of the buses developed fuel leaks because the biodiesel was eating the rubber fuel lines. It was sorted by buying thicker/heavy duty fuel lines and wasnt a problem since. Would that work on the Zed or would there be more internal damage? When the country changed from red leaded 4 star (if people remember that!) to unleaded, people could put an additive in the fuel tank, however with E10 you cant because ideally you need to "remove" 5% of the ethanol to make the fuel E5 again. I am struggling to find any more info at the moment and hoping someone on here can shed some light on my questions: 1) Are petrol stations going to continue to sell E5? 2) Would E10 99/100ron (super duper go-juice of any brand) be acceptable in the zed engine because it has many additives that might/may/would/should look after the internals? 3) Can you run on E10 regulary or is it a "just one tank every blue moon because you were caught short at a petrol station that no longer sells E5" situation? 4) Am I worrying too much, just run on E10 and see what happens?

Nothing wrong with electric. If everyone drove electric monday to friday, petrol would last longer for us to enjoy at the weekends!

Happy Birthday!
