  1. Its christmas time, so pottential customers for this are probably saving for that. Maybe its just the wrong time? Mind you, if it wasnt for fear of death, I'd get it for the missus to run in winter and leave the Z all snug and warm in the garage. Maybe once the first snow/ice hits, people will think about garaging their sports cars and be on the lookout for something like this for the winter?
  2. Glad you found it - very strange though, as they are no different from other images with links embedded - perhaps it recognises them as a group of links, all to external sites, and classes them as adverts.
  3. I have indeed, let me know via pm.
  4. They look great Tim!
  5. Very strange, they are just gif files. just like the smilies and other site images. I can only assume its something to do with them being links as well as images, but so are the menu icons at the top of the page. Try hitting CTRL & F5 to force a full refresh of that page on your pc, it may help.
  6. Heres what you are looking for if you have brembos.... PS - welcome to the community!
  7. Useful for the "to and from" meets/shows though? As above though, I reckon you would need to be careful putting it on and taking it off.
  8. Hmm - very strange, one of the missus' frinds had the exact same experience with Orange just the other day - been working fine for ages, then stopped. After a long phone call on supprt they too suggested that a new router was needed. Very strange, as these things just dont stop working for no reason. I wonder of they are tring to get a new piece of hardware out to the consumers for some other reason. /cynic.
  9. There is also a test of HD over freeview being undertaken in London now. The signs are that HD will also be available over freeview within 12 months.
  10. Sorry Ive not popped in on this thread so far. All I can offer is WOW Well done on creating that Z. Truly amazing. You'll need it cordoning off at shows!
  11. Unfortunately because of the nature of the ECU in the Z, these mods are likely to result in nothing more than a better/more pleasing noise from the car, as may mods are simply "dialled out" by the little clever box. PS - welcome aboard!
  12. Just added you all, apart from yours captint - cant find BlueGorilla23
  13. Now that does look nice. I am also guessing that would be THE rarest combination on the UK roads.
  14. [nerd] Just a thought, as a few of us will have XBOX live, and even I myself sucumbed to its lure a few weeks ago, perhaps anyone wishing to share their gamer tags with the others on the site would like to post up here? Mine is C3ALL by the way. [/nerd]
  15. First off, avoid digging at it with anything, including your fingernails, that may damage the paintwork. Apparently substances like alcohol or even WD-40 applied using a cotton ball (like the little jobbies for cleaning your ears) can get pine sap off. Ive never had any experience of big blobs of sap, but reading some of the info in the states it seems they experience this more often, and the alcohol solution seems to be best, but you will need to re-wax the area afterward. hope that helps.
  16. ahh yes - try deleting your cookie for the site and refreshing. That should help out. It may be that the security measures are too high, as the site will track your unread posts by cookie, if it cant write/update said cookie, then it can't keep track of them
  17. You'll have to be a little more descriptive. We dont have a "view new posts" link/button. We have a "view unread posts" button. Is it that one? When you click view unread posts what is displayed? PS - I sorted your sig pic and sent you a PM so you could use the new picture, isnt that what you wanted?
  18. Nope - they are all subtly different and typed individually. I wouldn't cut and paste welcomes to our new friends!
  19. If you are picking it up today, I doubt you will be reading this, more likely out enjoying the new toy! Welcome to the site Chris.
  20. Hi and welcome Hope you enjoy the community. Chris.
  21. Hi - welcome to the community. Hope you enjoy the site. Chris.
  22. Hi, Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy the community. Chris.
  23. awww - I liked the poo shoe!
  24. Well, we bought a roadster, as it was a replacement for the missus car, which was an MX5, we just couldnt bear to be without the fun of top down motoring in the summer. There would, for us, always be that moment in the heat of summer, even though we were in a 350Z, that we would look across to the convertible xr3i or 206, and think to ourselves - damn, wish we had the convertible now. I have to agree with others though, with the top up, it most certainly hasnt got the looks of the coupe, but with the top down, its just great. We took the coupe for a test drive, but always wanted a roadster, and bought a roadster without even having driven one. The funniest point for me is that due to the rake of the rear window on the coupe, and the almost vertical position of the window on the roadster, I actually find that the visibility is better in the roadster than the coupe. The rear quarter though is another matter. Both myself and the missus have questioned our decision to go for the roadster, usually on days that it has rained, but then again on days like the wales drive out and other meets, we couldnt have been happier with our choice. The only thing that I dont like, is that without some form of kit or spoiler, the bum of the roadster looks (and is) very big. So thats on the agenda to fix by way of a spoiler of kit at some time. Only you will be able to make the decision, but my advice would be to try and get a test drive of a roadster when you have the chance to put the roof down for a while, perhaps on a sunny day (hard to find now).
  25. Is this a standard warranty or an aftermarket (or some form of extended) warranty? The drivers seat runers are not consumable parts, so I would have thought those would be covered. In my opinion, the trim above the door is also not a consumable part, and should also be covered in my opinion. Also it is my personal opinion is that the trim above the door has three tenths of bugger all to do with the mileage of the car, and more the number of times the door is opened or the weather it has to contend with. Sounds very much like they are trying to wriggle out of the repairs. I would be reading the smallprint, and asking them to identify which particular points allow them to refuse the repairs.
