  1. £1.119 during my trip to herefordshire. About £1.149 around Eastbourne and £1.319 at the services on the M25 :ohmy::ohmy:
  2. Grip on those tyres are good...! :lol:
  3. Im hoping to get a day off that day and turn up. Should we meet up and drive in all together? Heres a link with more info: http://englandevents.co.uk/brighton-incarnation-brighton-2015-5th-annual/172652
  4. I must admit, i dont like these daylight running lights. They are way too bright and being low down in the ZX makes it worse, I seem to be blinded every time someone drives towards me. I bought HIDs for my car because i couldnt see the road ahead every time a car drove towards me. DLR lights seems a silly rule to me in this country (i can see it working in countries with longer nights/winters/bad conditions) but not now that its summer. If its grey/wet/dark/night i turn my lights on, if its sunny I leave them off...Part of being a driver is knowing when lights are needed!! Sidenote: Stagecoach makes us drive the buses with dipped beams on all the time, apparently it makes the buses easier to see.... As if a 42 foot long white, blue and red box that stops and starts constantly is hard to miss! :whistling:
  5. :lol: I love giving big "hello, i know you" waves to people who cut me up or do stupid/selfish things in their cars. Its so much better than giving the finger because they spend the next 20 miles worrying: "oh s**t, did I just cut up someone i know?"
  6. Ill be on the look out in my bus...see if you can spot me! If im not working, yes we will be there. want to swap info and meet up beforehand to drive in convoy?
  7. I think its funny how that car was dry stored for years and is in great condition, but now it will be sitting on some traders forecourt rotting away waiting for someone to pay £6000+ and then get the rot seen to :lol:
  8. haha would be better than the Fast and Furious 7 adverts we have at the moment! Up for that, im on holiday for a week on the 12th april, although for the first few days going to Leominster.
  9. Good idea, although Ill have to do it when im not driving the bus: Stagecoach: "why are you running 15 mins late today?" Me: "I was advertising the 300zx forum and had to keep stopping when ever I saw one" Stagecoach: "...?!..."
  10. Welcome over here any time! Just a shame all the Z's in Eastbourne seem to not be on here...
  11. Driving around Wilton Avenue in Winkney farm near Hampden Park yesterday and saw a Red OEM looking ZX. Very nice, although the paint looked a bit faded? I was doing "Loops" in my bus so I managed to get a 2nd and 3rd look later on my 2nd and 3rd loop! Was it you? Thats 4 ZXs in Eastbourne (plus 3 in Hailsham) now I know of. We might need to start an "Eastbourne and Area" cell in the South East division!
  12. I got all the original shows in HD :D
  13. Here's mine: Pretty proud of the lack of advisories and after having a look underneath, there isn't a spot of rust anywhere.... its such a shame Im going to have to keep her for ages...! :lol:
  14. Welcome, nice looking car!
  15. Should we start a poll on whether Hammond and May will leave with him and start a new car show on Sky/Netflix/etc or Chris evans will agree to replace Clarkson on Top gear? I know that Top gear will not be the same without Clarkson. I know that the BBC have shot themselves in the foot here by getting rid of him, but as you said, they didnt really have a choice. Its a shame really, that one of the best tv shows maybe have been ruined/cancelled (mostly through Clarksons doing if im honest!) Wasn't Jonathon Ross fired from the BBC? Something to do with the waiter from Fawlty Towers? He came back to the BBC pretty quickly. Maybe Clarkson will be back in 18 months time... "This week on top gear, James drives a Ferrari slowly, Hammond crashes a go-kart and I sign a contract with the BBC"
  16. 1- here are some of the links i found from different sources, you are more than welcome to make your own mind up, but I feel there's no smoke without fire: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/apr/03/ed-balls-average-family-worse-off-2010 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/families-are-still-worse-off-than-when-tories-came-to-power-study-claims-10083321.htmlhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26883208 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26883208 http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/01/22/uk-1600-cost-living_n_4644143.html http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/cost-living-crisis-40-week-3273757 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/household-bills/8791127/Asda-Index-shows-families-60-a-month-worse-off-than-in-2010.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/budget/11482856/Budget-2015-Household-incomes-return-to-pre-recession-levels-IFS-says.html http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/west-midlands-people-30-a-week-worse-5612350 2- I only know a handful of people and they are similar to me, I didnt claim to know all the people in my area and i think i did say that where I live is a big tory area with lots of rich londoners living in country home and wealthy landowners/farmers. 3- im glad you agree that voting is important, I watched "the idiots guide to polictics" on BBC iPlayer. He makes the point that people are willing to pay £££/min to vote on X-factor/american idol/strickly, but they cant be bother to vote for thier freedom. Its well worth a watch and seeing "Ol' Nigel" dressed up as a builder to escape the cameras was quite funny! :lol: Can I make the point that Im not trying to make you all feel and vote the way I feel/will vote? You all still own 300's, so no matter what you vote, we are all here to enjoy each others 300 love first and foremost! :thumbup::thumbup:
  17. This is the day after my birthday and I have friends in Stoke we can stay with. As long as im not working that weekend, count us in!
  18. Not having lived in this country during the economic crisis, I cant really agree or disagree. However a quick google seems to show that Uk'ers are worse off now than in 2010 (figures seem to depend on who collated them; Labour, lib dems, BoE, etc) Everyone I know down here (in this rich, tory, landowner part of the country) seems to want the torys gone. Worryingly (and this means a lot to me as im married to a non-EU national) UKIP seems to have pulled the heart strings of a lot of people, especially young people. A few people (myself included) want to vote labour, just to stop UKIP or a UKIP/tory coalition happening. I have been left with a problem though. I refuse to vote UKIP on the grounds that I think they are racist and biggoted and I think leaving europe would be a huge mistake. I refuse to vote tory because of what they put my wife and I through to move back here. I cant vote Lib dem because of broken promises and it would be a waste of paper and I dont really want to vote labour as they dont seem to have a proper plan. I wont vote green as I love cars too much and some of their policies are damaging to my hobby. Suddenly I can see why people cant be bothered to vote any more. Unfortunately politics in the UK seems to have turned voting from "voting for who you like/agree with" to "voting to keep the worse party out". Whoever you vote for (and I refuse to start an argument here!) please do one thing: GO AND VOTE! Remember: 1) If you dont vote, you cant spend the next 5 years moaning about politicians/policies/etc 2) Politicians want people to not vote. Having lived in a totalitarian dictatorship (China) for 10 years, trust me we need to keep our democracy.
  19. Im like that, we will be watching a movie with breasts and what not and ill be car spotting in the background :whistling:
  20. Just for a bit of balance: Up the reds!!!
  21. Thank you for all this info. I have a day off tomorrow and will look into it and let you know what I find
  22. The switch for the passenger window on the drivers side wasnt working, so I thought "no problem, ill get another". I replaced it and it still doesnt work. The passenger side switch works fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?
  23. All the buses i drive have push start (actually theres a start up procedure of 4-5 switches and buttons) and its pain in the arse, give me a key any day!
  24. My favourite author has died. RIP
