Hey, you scouting my area? I thought I was the only Zed in the village! I live about 200 meters away from that station!

Sorry about this guys but I'm double booked this weekend and won't be able to make it. I'm pretty disappointed as its going to be a brilliant event. If there is someway I can make this, I will pop over and visit you all! Can't wait to see the photos!

I pulled onto the slip road in heavy traffic and you went past on the outside lane about 4 cars infront. Private plate on, looking good!

Just had my MOT done today and had advisory points on the two rear tyres. I have Falken 915's on and have got about 15k out of them. Not sure about how much is left on the fronts, I'm going to get them look at this weekend.

Thats excellent news!

Lexx.......Nooooooooooooooooo! On the plus side, as everyone else have said, I'm glad you are ok and that no one was on the pavement you a 'boardslide' on. I saw Coopes and lee out in Boro over xmas and they told me about this. I've only just got around to coming online now. Hope you get a favourable result from the insurance company. Fingers crossed for you.

In times like this we have to hand the car over to our tame racing driver.............sorry I got carried away there but looking at the Top Gear power lap times they both come in at 1 minute 19 seconds. and on that bombshell...............I'll get my coat! oh, happy new year everyone!

From the look of the skateboard video, he falls, legs split and his board flicks up, he falls onto it snapping his board due to the force of it hitting his 'smelly bridge' area. Makes me glad I snowboard, feet are strapped to the board!

Anyone know how to remove the old plates? I'm assuming that heat is the way forward to get the old tape to give up the plate I've got enough tape to patch together the Titanic for the new ones. Also the wife has new plates too but her old ones are currently screwed on. Will I be ok just sticking her new ones on or will I have to screw the new ones on as well?

Just getting some prices now to have my plates made up that I got my 30th, and the matching plate I bought for the wife. Halfrauds - £14.99 each Local garage - £6.25 each I think we have a winner. Will post pics of what I get when I finally get them sorted.

No mention of insurance costs, just the petrol ones. I'm entered in anyway Cheers for the heads up Mart

Hello, I thought I needed to take drastic action today in order to get my first confirmed Zed sighting off the board. Black 55 plate Zed parked in the Cricketers Arms car park in Stockton. I've parked right next to you, and noticed that you have a club sticker on the window! Say hi on here to prove I'm not going mad!

Its certainly a monster! I did buy the Zed knowing that this might happen in the winter and I can still say it is worth it for those dry days in the summer........or should that be the dry day in the summer.

I couldn't even get mine off the drive last winter so I ended up taking the bus to work. The route to work has some dodgy hills so I probably did myself a favour not taking it out. Think I'm destined for the same format this year. This is a picture of the killer hill my drive is on..............

Spotted you this morning, two lads in a black 54 coupe pulling into a parking space in Yarm High Street. Anyone on here?

hopefully one of them was me, Blade usually seen going between Yarm and Stockton.......I've never been spotted before

I always thought riding shotgun on the back of one of these was the most economical way of getting around town......

right, back to basics for me. When you say that you polished it did you use the various grades of sandpaper with the megs polish/autosol or did you just save the megs polish/autosol till the last step? At the moment mine has loads of soot on the inside of the tips, whats the best solution to get rid of that? I normally use an old alloy wheel cleaner and some megs gold class but that doesn't get rid of the ground in stuff.

Thabnks for the replies peeps. Work internet is poor at the moment (we are running IE6!) so I cannot open the JDM site, but I'll have a look tonight when I get home. Mike has the right bit, its the Z in his picture. Cheers Lexx for keeping the thread on line

Sparky, as everyone has said previously I'm sorry to hear the news. Hope you have a quick recovery and as mentioned something to focus on will help you through. Regarding this, I'd say to sell the Zed and pocket the money for something when you can drive again Looking would keep me on my toes and give me something to look forward to, is that the same with you? In place of the Zed being your main focus, try and find something you can focus on.

This sounds like a great idea. Something more chilled out with the option of going off during the day would suit the Mrs as she has never been to a meet before. Being a teacher though, she & I won't be over till the friday night. Camping could be a laugh too, so put me down for it. 1/ martinmac 2/ toon chris 3/ Rothers 2901 4/ Wasso 5/ Shuck

Hi Guys, Whilst I was away on honeymoon, I gave my brother the Zed to use as part of his wedding present. He managed to snap the zed badge on the back whilst cleaning it so I was wondering if anyone has one that I could use please? Also, there seems to be some spongy sticky black stuff used originally to attach the Zed to the boot. Does anyone know where I can get some from to reattach the new Zed badge, or do you have some suggestions of something else to use in its place? Cheers

I'll get corrected quickly if I'm wrong but I would have thought the heated seats would dry the leather out and that is what you are trying to avoid doing? I do agree with other though, lose the GT badge

which converts to £34 worth of their deals in the magazine you get through each month. Using the vouchers from my parents and ours, in the space of 4 years we have had about £2000 worth of jewlery from Goldsmiths from them including 2 wedding rings. I use the 99 ron momentum but the first time I saw it had changed I went in and asked them. Better to be safe then sorry

Would you buy a car from a guy that slaps "Dick Smith" stickers on the car? Looks good though.........minus the sticker!
