  1. Had some trouble about 6 years back in the neighboruring Lithuania. 12 of us on a stag holiday. A real ethnic mix of white black and Asian and me the token oriental We were out in 2 limos and asked the drivers to recommend a club that played hip hop/RnB. Got dropped at said club and told that we could call taxis home from the club. Towards the end of the night one of the black guys complained one of the locals was kicking off. Apparently the local deliberately barged into him at the bar and wouldn't stop ranting. To try to calm things down we got the barman to convey appologies for any misunderstandings and buy the guy and his 3 mates a drink. Saw them scowling at us, all on their mobiles so we decided to round up the troops to make sure we all left together. Tried informing the security and calling cabs but they wouldn't help and couldn't turf us out quick enough saying "all fighting outside" As we were bundled out and the doors locked all we saw was a carpark full of yobs shouting racist chants Had to walk between them to get out and then they STARTED Luckily the fight led towards a narrow street where their numbers didn't give them an advantage and none of them were tooled up. Just cuts and bruises on our side but could of been so much worse .
  2. I love the way cars look extra low on grass So go on, spill the beans, how early did you manage to crawl out of bed that day?
  3. Very jealous. Not been able to wash my zed since the Krispy Kreme meet. Love the location by the gates. Looks nice and secluded. I always get a bit bashful taking pics of my car in public if I'm on my tod If I manage to get up I'm planning to do mine at sunrise before my toddler wakes up. Sucks when the weather is so good and the zed is hiding under a layer of grime.
  4. This reminds me of the petrol crisis around 10 yrs ago when pumps ran dry and the roads were like a scene from MadMax. I remember trying to coast the last two bends to my driveway to the extent I barely needed to touch the brakes as I parked up Fun challenge at first, but required soooo much concentration and planning to not hit a red light or have to brake too suddenly. Kinda like planning out a big snooker break.......hope we never face that again
  5. I've often heard of the Zed being referred to as a bit "overweight" With no rear seats to add weight, is it just the engine itself that adds the LARD, or is the rear strut made of double density lead As you can see I have a very simplistic view on the topic but have always wondered why some consider the Zed to be Lardy
  6. Another L&G loyal customer here Plenty of customer parking space too. Nothing worse than leaving your car in a cramped car park with tight spaces and worrying about other inconsiderate customers dinging your zed Despite being an independent garage now, they still have their old Nissan stamps so your service book will have "pretty Nissan" stamps in it to boot
  7. A few years ago drove from Manchester to London. Just as I unloaded the Zed got a call from alarm monitoring company.....someone had broke in via back patio door Drove straight back to find no sign of forced entry. I always blamed the fitter for selling on copies of my keys but maybe I got "bumped"
  8. Been reading about "bump keys" Any cylinder lock can be opened with a bump key in under 5 sec From uPVC style barrels to padlocks. Someone could come in get your stuff/Z keys etc with no sign of forced entry. Insurance co. would claim you forgot to lockup http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri= ... wTVBWCijEQ http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri= ... nrWqjgjFL0 Ordered a product called pick buster from QVC as a hopeful solution http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/ ... tem.558204 Anyone else got more knowledge on this evil?
  9. Most of my family are based in KL and the tax on luxury cars is insane. Even a Honda civic is a status symbol over there Crazy thing is the same tax applies to bringing 2nd hand cars in. My dad retired and wanted to take his 10 yr old Mazda 626 back to Malaysia. Car was worth about £700 in UK but they wanted £8000 import tax just to bring it in Worked out cheaper for him to buy a brand new Malaysian built car fully loaded
  10. 5th and last ones are my favs. Reflections on the bonnet in the 5th one are crazy and the last pose just sets her off a treat
  11. You got mad skills. In your past life were you a member of the A-Team
  12. Bluetooth adaptors and waseem brings back a chuckle or two Can't find the original thread, but it did end up getting a bit harsh on poor waseem FUNNIEST THREAD I'VE READ THOUGH
  13. Having a crash at motorway speeds must be scary as hell!
  14. Do you find the 1st CD you loaded in your zed on collection day now triggers a surge of "happy hormones" as it brings back memories of that glorious occasion On one fine day in Aug '05 it was Missy Elliot: the cookbook that supplied the tunes while I spent the whole day feeding a tank of Shell's finest through my beloved Zed's internals. Not my favourite album by any means but one that now has a special place in my collection
  15. Not heard of a Manchester fitter but I think a few NW members have used CS and said the work was good. I don't think it is too far from Manchester
  16. Now aren't you glad you didn't settle for a diesel repmobile to handle the commute to work Nomatter how hard a day you've had at work you can sit back in your Nismo'd SANCTUARY, grab that momo wheel and let your stresses fade to the sweet music bellowing from your Nismo pipes Really pleased how things have worked out for you and can't wait to see you and your zed again in the flesh
  17. I reckon these numpties that seek out isolated cars in the carparks are so bad at parking that they find it easier to line up and park using our cars as a guide rather than using the painted lines of the bay. JUST A BUNCH OF LAZY UNSKILLED "FLOATERS" FLOATERS is a new term someone at work came up with to describe annoying little sh$ts who you can't get rid of
  18. Just come home after an hours drive avoiding the motorway.... taking THE LONG WAY Roads were empty and dry. When you're surrounded by traffic it dulls the sense of speed as you perceive yourself to be crawling along with the masses. Noise polution from other cars dulls the sound of my stock zed. But tonight, window down, zipping around through town was a joy, with the zed "feeling" faster even at sensible speeds. GOTTA LOVE DRIVING AROUND AT NIGHT
  19. Your missus is one lucky lady ......and you're lucky she's not as fussy about cars as mine
  20. Showed my bro the vid. A little into it he goes " look at the size of those statues of giant legs". He didn't realize at first he was watching RC cars
  21. The guy should have bought more stickers and used them to cover the rusty bits
  22. The car doesn't have to be a performance car. Just shown wife the some images. Audi 3's and 4's. BMW 1's and 3's. Golf's. Leon's 4x4's. Getting no, no, no Only thing so far she fancies is a ford Kuga or the older model imprezas. I might end up buying a cheap older focus until she finds something she likes at this rate
