Chesterfield

The gallery section is now live (link on top menu). Each person can create their own personal gallery (which can be viewed by all) from your user control panel. (link on top left under the forum logo). In there you will find a section called gallery. From there you can create your own gallery by clicking "manage personal albums" (on the left), and then clicking "create album" (button on the right). If you have any problems post up There are also areas for photos to be uploaded from meets and shows in the past two years and of course sections ready for photos from meets and shows this year.

Yup the blue are regional meets organisers.

Yeah but the panel fitment on the Z is much better on the Z than the 430 - that front end looks like its been put together by a proper friday afternoon crew. But I guess you dont buy one of those for the panel gaps I think spa is great but have only visited once, and never driven it - the layout and altitude change on the track is great. Hows about that house, incredible view of turn one

Thats just the shift light that you can set using those lights, not the actual rev limiter.

What yanks my chain is "menu pricing" that some dealers operate. This is basically car X, costs £X for its first service and car Y cost £Y. I took two company cars to the dealers for a service, and when I got the bill, one was £20 more than the other. When I questioned this, I was told that it was due to the cars being different. I then proceeded to pint out both cars have exactly the same engine, same oil, same filters, same sump plugs, chassis etc, the only difference is that one is a different shape. I asked how they had come up with two different prices (although I could see what they had done). They simply take the cheapest menu price and apply it to the smallest car with that same engine, and for any larger cars that have that same engine, they simply add X onto the price of the oil until reaching the set menu price. Hey presto, look at the invoice and I see that the oil is £20 more expensive in the larger car (yet it has the same part number stamped next to it). I spoke to the regional manager, got my £20 back on principal, and they have never, and will never, see any of my companies cars again.

Was that about the same time that somebody tried to make your z the same size as a metro? No it was a few years before we met. Though I do like reminding her of it every now and then when she complains about my driving.

Another question - probably a verylog shot but this car hasn't been fitted with anything like the UTEC engine management system by the previous owner has it? You can alter the rev limit with those.

Hi and welcome Just a quick question, is the rev limiter actually kicking in, or are you referring to the red light on the dash coming on when you hit 5500? Actually, Can we keep this as the welcome thread and any replies on the technical issue directed toward the other thread discussing your issue here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=22082 Ta,

In a slightly cheaper version of this accident, Mrs Chesterfield managed to reverse a Metro up the bonnet of a Honda Aerodeck a few years ago.

Hopefully the map link at the top and on the front page will assist too. Will also be looking to create areas for meets photos to be published in the gallery too. The gallery is to be released shortly, but another announcement will let you know when this happens

Mmmm

We have now release a regional meets section. You can access this via the "meets and events" forum then select regional meets. There are 14 seperate areas, and the names of organisers for each area can be found in the information section at the top of the regional areas list. The forum can be found HERE Alternatively you can jump straight to any area you are interested in from the Regional Meet Map - there is a link to the regional meet map on the upper menu on the forum, and also a mini version of the map is now shown at the top right of the portal page. We hope this adition will be useful

Will sort out titles/ranks for the regional organiser folk.... Your names will display in blue from now though.

Anyone noticed the changes?

Dentec will sort the dings in the door out, and a wheel restorer should be able to sort the rim without much fuss. Dont panic, all can be put back to pristine again

Id like to see what state they end up in once the tyre fitters have shoved the rubber back on They look ok in the pictures, but I dont think they would stand up too well to the local quick fit fitter getting fruity with a tyre iron and a set of hard walled tyres.

Unfortunately the swear filter works on stuff posted in the threads only - the "current Status" would either be an amendment to the signature file, or an addition to the profile section which is displayed under the avatar. Will see if a test of this can be undertaken at some point, but there are larger items currently being worked on - hope to deploy two of them tomorrow and possibly a third over the weekend (franticaly looking for wood to touch ).

try fancyplates.com They have a configurator for legal plates, and a configurator for "fancy" plates - plenty of options and reasonable prices too.

Suggest you inform them of your new policy not to be shafted and shop elsewhere. Consumer is king.

This is news to me too, my dealers never had a problem using my own oil, as long as it met specifications. Are times really that hard that dealers cant live without the daft profit margins they put on the standard crap oil they put in the cars? As above, try a reccomended independent/specialist. If dealers are starting to take that kind of attitude with customers, they deserve to go under.

Not yet it wont Martin, the new section is still hidden until all details are finalised and its ready for release.

Voted yes, as its a nice little fun addition to the site, but in practice I have my concerns over moderation of this, and also its implementation. Consider it at the back of the queue at the moment.

Funny you should say that - we are about to launch a whole new meets section with regional maps etc, watch this space

Should be fixed now. tick boxes should display.
