Groove direction on discs?

From the spinoff of friends where Joey gives his nephew advice on dating "If you're a 7 you can go out with another 7 or lower. You could even go with a 3 AND a 4.........or even seven 1s.....but I wouldn't recommend the last one!"

I just bought this AA branded one from Amazon http://www.amazon.co...battery charger £27.99 seemed like a reasonable price for an intelligent charger that would switch to trickle charge when full. From the reviews the only real is it's a bit slow/inefficient at recharging a totally flat battery. Hooked it up to the 4 yr old Kia Shortage. This gets used for a couple of 1hr round trips every weekend but still took 24hrs before the charger registered it as fully topped up. Primarily bought to top up a Mini and the Kia as these aren't used daily look the Zed is.

.......I'm off to see how much I can get a set of JKtyres for on Oponeo!

I don't know what is worse. The finished car or the fact my brother said "it looks alright?"Maybe I should dissown him

My 19 inch LMGT4s have 245/35 up front and 275/35 on the rears. I'm pretty sure this is standard for zeds as I've never seen anyone else mention otherwise.

I'm number 5 and still here

Welcome to the OC. Nice Clk too. I haven't seen many in white let alone kitted up

A zed always gets a vote from me. Good luck.

I expect that deters the food source...... Anyone use security cameras through windows with success rather than mounting them outside? http://vid272.photob...10_04_12_39.mp4 This is some footage from my Motorola focus 85 sited in the hall looking out the front. Unwanted visitors arrive at 0:12sec http://vid272.photob...1017_020923.mp4 This is footage at night. Note I have metal halide lights lighting the front garden so its not pitch black Not the best quality but works for me. Has pan and tilt,sound,mic and temp sensors. I pay £2.50/month for cloud storage of activated video bursts of a couple of mins. IR lamps don't reflect too bad as long as not facing head onto the window

Welcome along. Easiest way to get pics up is to open a photobucket account. Choose a pic. Press share. Press links. Then copy and paste the IMG code straight into your post

My first time using a glaze. This is supposedly polymer based and oil free to enable better compatability for topping up with a sealant wax for longevity. It's the pillar of a 9yr old Mini. Despite careful wash technique from new, 9 yrs has left fine swirls. Used the Prima Amigo by hand with a MF pad. Just 2 gentle hits. Not heavy handed like trying to correct defects. I am happy with the results and topped it with Gtechniq C2v3.

http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=369091 This is a link to my 4 yr test showing how the GTECHNIQ C4 trim restorer/protector is still going strong on my wife's Mini. With so much trim iwas fed up of products lasting a couple of months if not weeks.
-
I'll 2nd that. Mine yellowed after just 1year and that was using a TURTLEWAX kit that included a top coat sealer! This time I sealed with Gtechniq C4. Will see how long that lasts. But as I use their C2v3 sealant on the body every few months I'll top the headlights up with this at the same time too.

If that doesn't work it could be the clock spring airbag thingy behind the steering wheel. Had mine fail earlier this year. An independent may be able to source a 2nd hand one and fit for around £100

Nice drive for nice day... Then ruined by wannabe racer...

In the famous words from BAD BOYS 2.........Woooooossssaaaaa Worked for me today as I was ferrying the kids sboutin the family wagon. Some turd in a 15 plate R8 weaving in and out of the dual carriageway, lights on full beam despite sunny day to warn people of his presence. Undertook me to squeeze in front until he could repeat his weaving and undertaking again. Traffic was busy and steady so he didn't gain much ground. By chance we stopped side by side at lights further down. Felt like getting out and shaking some sense into him...... Alas WOOOOOOSSSSAAAAA and tranquility is restored -
Is he just "saying" that he's owned all these cars or do you reckon he's blagging. I find it very hard to believe anyone would prefer the bus unless the commute was a painfully slow crawl all the way with parking difficulties at the end. It's kinda like saying "I've had all the fittest/hottest girls but now I prefer a little alone time with a box of Kleenex! "

To the bystanding public who spot you in your Zed it's probably as rare a sight now as in the early days when first released. So the reactions would still be similar to almost a decade ago. I bet no E46 330ci owner can muster the same attention as a 350z :wink: In fact I think the reactions are MORE positive now than when mine was new 10 yrs ago. Back then there was some jealousy as people knew it was a £30k motor, whereas now people know it's within MOST driver's budget it's more admiration for what is and not what it's worth.

I reckon I've lost about £24k Paid £30k for a GT Coupe with a factory Nismo kit in 2005. Spent an additional £2k on 19' LMGT4s and LED rear lights. Over the past 10 yrs it's probably only about £2.5k/yr and only gonna get better..........BARGAIN My only regret is not buying it when it sooner!

Seems like you're a lucky man Far2lively. Can't get a cheaper fix than a tap on the gauge Reminds me of a cheap fix I had when all the lights lit up on the dash...TCS/ABS/ESP and all I needed was a brake pedal switch Fingers crossed you have many trouble free miles to come.

Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Curse this thread. Nightmare last night my zed got stripped down to a shell -
That is legendary! You win hands down as the most dedicated kebab lover GAME OVER FOR THE REST OF US

I've worked just off the curry mile in Manchester for 20years and have gone there almost every lunchtime! I love them all. Have to be on a naan. EVERYTHING on. For a chicken tikka.........Afghan Cuisine (they do it just right, big chunks and never dried out on the grill) (their kobeda kebabs are great too, like a doner/seek hybrid) Chicken/lamb shwarma.......Atlas Shwarma (cheap but fresh) Seek kebabs.......Sajaan is my favourite at the moment (huge portions ) I love chicken donner too, but damn that red food colouring is messy and almost semi permanent on your hands AND LIPS I'm just a greedy bugger so I'll summarise with I LOVE EM ALL........AND MY FAV PLACE IS THE ENTIRE CURRY MILE

Apparently the police do have a profile to look out for when doing stop and search. Years back my mate got stopped in his 200sx at night. Not speeding. Coppers told him he just fitted the profile as a young asian lad in a fast car. He didn't get any other hassle as soon as they saw his elderly dad in the front and mum in the back!
