We took ours for a spin out in the sunshine and were rewarded with a van going into the back of us!

No ice down here at all. Just grey and cold! Do be careful though, we dont want any 300s on their sides or roofs :p

Welcome, good see another black one :p

Happy new year!

Happy New Year, Hope to meet a lot of you sometime soon!

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and happy new year. May your futures be full of horsepower, high octane petrol and empty bending roads!

Im driving to Norwich and back today, so ill let you know how the MPG is for motorway cruising

My classic car insurance with Lancaster was £320 and Im 29. it limited so many things such as no NCB earning, no commuting to work, no euro cover, limited mileage, it was pretty useless to be honest. £400 does seem a bit steep for your classic insurance but all depends on age/driving experience/points/postcode etc. Ive been driving 12 years and never had an accident or point *touch wood* My adrian flux policy is a "normal policy" with NCB earning, european cover, drive other cars on 3rd party, etc. and that was £700.

I just had to cancel my insurance with lancaster because they wouldnt allow my 300zx to be my main car. Im now with Adrian Flux; unlimited mileage, can drive to work/be main car etc for £700. Do be careful with insurance because they will look for any excuse to not pay out. Lancaster annoyed me because when I rang up to check about the car being my main car, she cancelled the policy straight away then told me the cancellation fee was £278!!!! The years policy was only £320. I complained and said "no wonder people cheat insurance companies, because here i am being honest and i get smacked in the face!". She talked to her supervisor and put me on hold for 18mins. when she came back, she said the cancellation fee would be £60... makes you wonder how many people have been cheated by a huge cancellation fee. Moral of the story: dont use Lancaster and dont accept the cancellation fee... :lol:

when I drove my car back from buying it (400 miles-ish) I got 20 miles from home and the gearbox wouldn't let me select 5th or reverse. It was like they didnt exist, the stick wouldnt move to the right. I found that by taking the centre console off and the gearstick gaiter off, there was a nut missing that held the shifter stick in place. I added a nut, tightened everything up and its better now. sometimes it doesnt like changing into 5th and i have to put a bit more force in, but atleast i get all gears now. Have a look at yours, check all the bolts etc.

Looks great, cant wait to place an order :p

I would love too, but I have to work :(

My front speakers are very quiet too. My Z is also an import. If anyone could shed some light (or sound!) on this, I would be grateful!

On the other end of the scale, I had two cyclists heading towards me tonight with flashing headlights so bright that I couldn't see anything in front of me and after they had past I see couldn't see anything due to burn marks at the back of my retinas! I'm all for safety on the road, but some of these Xeon/LED lights are getting pretty bright!

I received mine yesterday! Thanks! We might have to find something else to replace the tax disc holder in future as we dont need discs any more :whistling:

For me its the craziness. Lambos have silly doors and look like they should be spaceships with laser guns (yes I am about 12 years old!). TVRs have door handles on the wing mirrors and make noises that turn my legs to jelly! My only true dream car that I know I would never ever own would be this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tornado-Ford-GT40-Replica-Completed-2013-Stunning-Ickx-Gulf-Livery-/181591525551?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a47b2c8af My first GF father had one and used to take me out in it. If I was ever to build a kitcar, this would be it...

For me it would be a crazy car, A car so tail happy I would most likely kill myself within the first week of ownership! Gentleman I give to you my choice, straight from Blackpool... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TVR-T350-3-6-t350-coupe-2004-Petrol-Manual-in-Blue-/331393051736?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4d2890ac58

Donated

Hope you will be up in the "Z" ;)

Bloody h*ll its a small world, I'm always in hailsham, my best mate (the one with the white zx) lives there.

I lived in charminster, studied at the university and worked at RIAS insurance. Hated it though. Turns out I cant sell anything!

Haha didn't need too. I'm considered half dorsetonian as I went to Bournemouth uni and lived in Dorset for a while!

Fitted my stereo and took her to Dorset and back for a 260mile test run
