HEADPHONES

My uprated ones cope with my Nismo spoiler down to about zero degrees. For the first few years they were even OK well below zero........c'est la vie:(

I got updated ones in 2007. They were thicker than my OEM ones and are still holding up....just. When it was -3 deg they started to struggle a bit but are fine now we are around 4 deg. Got mine under warranty so not sure about the advertised ones.

Back on topic. I find it's the opposite for me in Manchester. In my Zed, I find people expecting me to be some testosterone charged maniac and making space for me! For example, I'll be on the inside lane at the lights. Lights go green. I crawl away slowly and the car next to me in the "fast" lane crawls away even slower awaiting me to zoom off ahead. Or I'll be in the slow lane pootling along and the traffic ahead slows, cars in the outside lane slow down leaving a gap expecting me to suddenly pull out from the bus ahead. Totally different when I'm in the wife's mini cooper. People will bully me back into the inside lane or cut in front of me like I'm not even there. Maybe it's down to the mini being a boring white and the zed being an in your face sunset orange?

If money was no object I wouldn't be a chav. http://zclub.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=498&size=big&cat= The above Veilside Zed looks menacing enough not to be "bullied" as the OP has mentioned without looking tacky (I think anyway) In my defence(if slightly off topic) my fav zeds were the black one that belonged to CRAGUS and the similar one from Nitrouz zed on My350z........also menacing enough to scare off bullies but a little more discreet See pic at the top of this thread http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=283461&highlight=Cragus&page=3

How I envy you. At 20 I just about managed to roll with a bus pass. I bet the zed is a lot more impressive to the ladies than a buss pass :b. Congratulations on your Zed and welcome to the forum

You got skills sir.......I salute you!

Split head open....slipped on wet floor whilst getting a seeing to in a public toilet.......DISGUSTING! Floors should be checked regularly to prevent such unfortunate events!

Those were some scary roads! Balls the size of melons I reckon.

If money was no object, I'd turbo the zed, slap on some blinging Volks and wide body Veilside kit and intimidate everyone else.....watch the traffic move like Moses parting the waves......hehehe.

I was really miserable having acquired 3 deep door dings. But this thread has really cheered me up no end. Had a great chuckle. Cheers guys.

The original Ford Ka was kind of cute and fresh when it came out. Followed by the STREETKA and SPORTKA keeping things funky. Last year my neighbour bought his wife the newer version. Ugly from all angles. Even the ones with the sport bodykit ( I use the term loosely! ) look bad. They got rid after a few months for a new polo. My eyes no longer bleed when looking outside.

If you don't want AC on permanently, switch the heater on max temp for about 10 min to dry the moisture left in the system. Then you should be mist free under normal conditions. But as soon as you put AC on, humidity will build up again in the pipes meaning AC needed again for quick demist or running the he heating on again to dry the moisture out. But remember to use AC a few times a month even in winter to lubricate the AC system to prevent cracking pipes and coolant loss.

Really bad news that. Don't know whether I'd be able to control my rage if I actually caught someone keying my car. If you got done for beating the the criminal concerned could you plea a crime of passion.......or temporary insanity? It's an unspoken rule.......don't mess with a man's motor! Hope this incident becomes a distant memory once Rosie is restored to her former glory.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger they say. You and your Zed are officially now fearless!

To get us started, I didn't think the Subaru salloons weren't achingly gorgeous but the newer hatchbacks do nothing for me visually. I also thought the RX7 was wayyy better looking than the RX8. What cars do you think looked better back in the days?

Shaun, I thought your rims looked quite funky already. In the first pic it looks like your Zed is rolling on wheels like a TRONmobile. Call me tacky but the kid in me would like to maybe see some glow in the dark paint on them lips too!

A clean black Zed is a beautiful thing indeed!

Always OCD when it came to parking to prevent door dings. Got to work early to get the safe parking space where nobody parks alongside. Parked away from the masses at supermarkets etc. Even aborted a few trips to the gym when I can't find a good space. This has left me with a pristine, ding free Zed for the past 8 yrs. This week I parked with the masses JUST TWICE. Late to work once and same with the gym. Result......3 deep dings:( At least paint isn't chipped and they're all on the passenger door. Hopefully get them massaged out at my next service. Just hope the ding man doesn't wreck the door cards when gaining access to the dings!

Welcome to the club.

Welcome to the club.

Welcome to z ownership. The forum really adds to the pleasure of the experience and is overflowing with good advice on just about EVERYTHING!

I bet you're one happy bunny

Happy birthday Mike

Welcome to the club. We NEVER get bored of pics, so post up a few of your chariot!

Apparently Tesco sell different products in different countries. In India where the cow is considered a holy creature, local government is so worried they are now testing Tesco's popular HORSEBURGERS for traces of BEEF!
