That cool! Keeps us updated with a thread, pics and a price! Im looking in to putting a TT lump in mine. I will be watching your updates with interest while looking for a TT engine :thumbup:

Is part of it people wishing they were worth that much? They put their price up on websites because thats what they feel they should be worth? There was a ZX last month on a website that the guy was trying to sell for £15k or something and people on here were laughing... We all get attached to our cars and if/when that dreaded day comes to get rid of them, do we not price the car at what our broken heart tells us too? Do we not try to squeeze as much out of the buyer as possible? would we not advertise it a couple K over what we would accept anyway? im sure the values of ZXs are going up, its simple supply and demand, but if a dealer advertises one on autotrader for £9,995, are we not going to think: "Mine is almost as good as that one, ill advertise mine at £7,995" and before we know it, everyone has started doing the same?

I drove a Gallardo at brands hatch as a Christmas present last year and that was awesome. I've always wanted a lambo and now I want one even more. I also have way more respect for the baby lambo now. inside it felt very Audi, but when you floored the 500BHP V10 it felt all lambo and was everything I was hoping it would be! 159mph was my top speed along the straight

*orgasm*

Both my cars recently bought never had the V5 sent off by the previous owner. I now ring the DVLA the day I buy a car to alert them that ive bought it and for them to expect the V5 in the post. If I dont get anything in 3 weeks, I ring them and then fill out the other form (cant remember what its called). I also found out that its free to send your V5 to the DVLA, just give it to the post office and they deal with it all.

No it wasn't unfortunately

Friday Lunchtime: Bright red, modified ZX with body kit going round the pizza express roundabout heading towards Upperton road. It was two up and sounded nice. Was it you? P.S Next time please use your indicators on the roundabout, so I know which way you are going and I can pull out in my slow-arsed bus :P

That sounds awesome, I would love to go. Will we have a 300zx stand? Its a shame that the gardens rally was dropped, that was really good when I last saw it, it was 2004 though!

Sounds good. i went to this one year while i was at bournemouth uni. they had a short rally course through the gardens

No internet on my buses, so no idea! Phones 4G has been fine all day though

My wife asked me this question the other day (shes learning to drive at the moment and wanted to know about engines, clutches and gearboxes). We found this video that explains it well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKywZ730JFs

Car failed MOT on friday, so spent the morning changing the reversing light to a fog light. retest today! We then took the roof off and went for a drive as it was a toasty 15C down here!

As title says, please let me know if you have any of these. thanks!

As with women, there is a car out there for everyone.... however I would prefer to drive a diesel Kia Picanto than this!

Sounds like a good plan! Im always out and about in mine as its a daily use car. I saw that silver one again yesterday outside Halfords in Eastbourne. A chap in his 40's got in it and gingerly drove off...not sure if its his or he's new to them!

I was driving buses around Eastbourne yesterday and saw a ZX near Victoria Drive near the row of shops. Looked good and pretty OEM. Was it you? Mine needs a friend to chat with so let me know!

It snowed on my way back from Ashford (kent) last night. It wasnt settleing and theres nothing outside this morning :(

My wife and I watched the 2nd BTTF movie last night. I love the delorean. I would jump at the chance to have one. Have you watch "For the love of cars"? They restore cars and then sell them at auction. One episode they do a Delorean and end up selling it at auction for crazy money!

Maybe. Its a school night so might not be able. If it was a weekend, we would be out to play :D

Was that car a blue one in a village outside Ashford somewhere? If its the car I'm thinking of it had rust, the interior looked like a dog had been living in it and it had tights over the back lights... It was on preloved for £1200...

Nothing like a bit of "bush" action... :innocent:

The warehouse where I used to work had those in stock. They are made by a company called "crazy ape" or something I think. We used to get deliveries of their stock from china for us to store, but it all needed barcoding so I would have to barcode 10000+ watches!

Got a phone call from his insurance company today. The garage will collect the car tomorrow, check the car, fix all damage and give a life time guarantee. I even get a hire car for the duration. Hope it wont be too long though, ill miss my baby!

Tell me about it! I've had a look underneath and all seems ok. I was stopped and he wasn't doing more than 10mph. I think it just flexed the bumper which took the paint off. I don't think the bumper is even deformed. The guy said he would pay for any damage...
