Gave my fiancees Punto a going over yesterday afternoon. Method was Snowfoam Pressure rinse Clean wheels (Bilberry) Clean arches (APC) Washed car (Shampoo Plus and two buckets) Soaked in tardis - white car + tar = NIGHTMARE! Snowfoam loads of pressure rinsing Clayed washed again (Shampoo Plus and two buckets) Dryed Car looked over with brinkmann and very little blemishes at all so pressed on Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Prime Jeffs Werkstatt Trigger x 2 30 mins apart Jeffs Werkstatt Glos x 2 30 mins apart Glass cleaned (Meguiars glass cleaner) Wheels sealed with Poorboys wheel sealant Tyres dressed with Blackfire long lasting tyre gel - the best on the market by a mile! **Essential tool - Envy brushes. You NEED these in your life! All in all a nice afternoon and I really like the Jeffs Werkstatt products. I haven't used them on anything else other than this car but it works very well on the solid white paint in my opinion. Here's a couple of pics in the shade taken with the iPhone. Oh and before you all start - it was sitting VERY high at the back due to the way was parked!

No we won't I don't like Emmerdale so my solution is not to watch it, as it is with most things on TV these days. Its quite simple, you don't like it then don't waste an hour watching it and another 7 days bitching about it on an internet forum

I enjoyed it this week. I always do though. One day we'll get a positive top gear thread....

Thanks Mike! It was a good run. For anyone that knows Aberdeenshire we went over Glenshee and turned at Balmoral (the Queens Summer pad) over the road toward Tomintoul / Lecht. Turned and went along Donside and past Billy Connollys house. Went from Bridge of Alford to Kincardine O Neil and went over the bridge at Pottarch and over Cairn O Mount to Fettercairn then up the road to Stonehaven. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Irfan was dying to swap the Zed for this kids bike but he was having none of it!

I got kicked.

The £1500 is my mates price. He's well known to be one of the best in the country though. I'm in Inverurie this week (at night) working. I do the odd bit of detailing too....

I've deleted the junk. Lets keep this on topic please as it's a nice chance to learn something about fellow members. It'd be nice to see pics of the instruments etc too.

Think you need a mould. My mate owns a compant that can make one off carbon products (he did a race car chassis and body and other components) but the guy he built it for had a pretty much limitless budget. I think it'd be cheaper going to chargespeed though. Speak to Martin at MW Tech,

260s are cheaper..... How about getting a yank muscle car? Apex are doing newer nissans 200SX / Silvias with V8 kits and they aren't badly priced. I think they do R32 / R33 skylines too.

I'm Stew. I think you're a stalker!

I remember my Mum attending a careers thing at my school and a woman standing up and saying 'any degree is better than no degree' My parents don't believe that. My Dad left school with no qualifications - didn't even sit his exams and well, he hasn't done badly for himself. Hard work is very under rated at the moment. both my parents were the same, although they supported me with what ever i wanted to do. i felt i needed a degree so thats what i did. and due to the high level of writing involved and study i really struggled. i wish i'd gone off and done an apprenticeship. although i've landed on my feet and i'm good at what i do and i still get to work in the workshop. i make up for what my job lacks in by doing projects at home. I went against the grain and went to Uni at 16! Dad still says he would never employ me as I 'know bugger all' though! Out of all his employees I doubt any have degrees. All the Engineers etc have worked up from the workshop. I think the financial director has a degree but even the Engineering Director is a hands on guy that's now in an office job.

I have a nanocube marine tank. I want a big ass one but thought I'd learn the hard way. Less stable BUT less live stock.

For 10k you could get a westfield V8. The old Zed would be spot on!

I don't have the number but TTconvert hasn't been online since 21st June.

I went from hands on Engineer in the field to Engineer in the office. It's a strange transition.

My mate actually owned an Azure with Rays from new and I loved it. He sold it as he needed the cash for a new house. I turned it down as I'd just bought my place. A year later I bought one. I had to have one. I looked at loads of cars. My list of requirements was 2 seats and rwd. That was it. Looked at loads of cars and after testing a few the Zed was just the best for my requirements. The reason I wanted a two seater was to be able to own a nice sporty car when I was young and before I was doomed to mondeo estate family wagons. My Mum thought I was mad until I asked her what she thought of my Dad when he goes out cruising in his SL summer toy - her reply 'he looks rediculous, he's 50 and bald and cruising about in a bright red convertible.' It then clicked that it was actually good to do it now! 4 years later I still have it and still love it!

Did you read the posts previous to this?

Jays been trying to get me to learn the geeetar. I want to but it's a winter starting project I think!

Kestral will be fine. Just take it easy and read a bit about it before hand.

Spotted you this morning at Kintore. I followed you and you turned off towards Tates Mill at Thainstone. It had fancy wheels on it too!

Nice. I know nothing about geeeetars but I know what I like!

Nice defender!

Geoff, did you try these on the 370 at all???? Chris - AWESOME!
