  1. HEADPHONES

    Alfa 8C

    Love the telephone dial alloys too If only British roads were just as wide. Seems everyone's parking 8inches away from the curb........probably really para about kerbing now
  2. My deepest sympathies to Ian's family. I first met Ian in March this year when he came to Manchester Krispy Kremes with his other car club from Stoke offering an open invitation to 350z owners. Despite being the only outsider that attended he made me feel really welcome. Such a friendly bloke with a personality anyone would find hard not to like. Still can't believe or take this news in.
  3. Chris, who would have thought a promotion would bring so many headaches It's nice to have the options though For me my situation was the opposite. Baby came and wife had a mini and me a zed. That meant the mini is my weekend car and only really use the zed to and from work But the zed is my only oasis of sanity. Work is hard and long, and save the weekends for family. Love the kid to bits but no more socialising, no going training, home cinema/stereo always on ultra low vol, even detailing the zed at night now using halogens on the drive What I'm getting at is if your gonna be working and driving long and hard, a diesal may leave a few grand in your pocket but you'd be spending hours sitting in a car pining for a zed. Alot of driving means spending MORE OF YOUR LIFE IN A CAR so surely the zed choice would be even better "value" in the "pound per wear" sense. You even told me you missed your in car sounds and didn't put anything decent in the fiesta as it didn't deserve it. GET THE ZED, GET THE I.C.E, ENJOY YOUR COMMUTE. ZEDS ENRICH YOUR LIFE
  4. I got a JVC DAB single din unit......love it to bits. See my original thread for pics etc viewtopic.php?f=27&t=37876&hilit=bose
  5. We're talking Manchester city centre in rush hour traffic
  6. Was driving to work today and saw a cyclist towing what appeared to be a pram on two wheels. Went home and googled them. http://www.richardsonsonline.co.uk/acc_ ... %20Trailer Advert says TOUGH steel construction/ wrap around bumper for SAFETY I got goosebumps just thinking of the horrific accidents that could occur. So many daydreaming motorists don't even spot cyclists in their mirrors let alone a buggy below waist height being towed by a cyclist. Makes the worries that zed owners have about carrying babyseats pale into insignificance.
  7. Vaseline sounds a bit risky. If it can deteriorate the rubber in JIMMY HATS not sure how it reacts to door seels
  8. Brings back bitter sweet memories of my youth. All my mates had a chopper one summer. My dad didn't get with the programme . I had to follow my mates by running waaaaaay behind. To make matters worse, in the old days parents made kids wear SANDLES in the summer But alls well that ends well........ now they'd have to follow waaaay behind me in my Zed
  9. Ever get yellow spots ingrained onto the rear of the car? I've been plagued by this for years with my white mini. Claying for ages would only reduce it by 80%. Found out on detailing world it's metal fallout/brake dust RUSTING INTO THE PAINT Just recieved an order of Iron Cut by AQuartz. Hopefully get a personal review up soon but for now here's one by a detailing world guru http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/s ... ht=AQuartz
  10. Lovely addition to your car collection. Is it more baby friendly than a zed regarding deactivating the passenger airbag?
  11. Most of my close friends from my teens and I train in various styles. Some TKD, a couple southern praying mantis, kung fu, kickboxing etc. A few years ago we went on a stag do to Lithuania and to cut a long story short the night ended with us leaving a club with about 20-30 locals waiting outside who had a disliking to "non caucasians" We numbered 11, and 7 of us train. Once we got home and reflected, despite all the different styles, under these circumstances we all fought a similar fight to escape. Simple hand techniques, with only 2 kicks thrown between us. The non trained friends lacked the "calm/awareness" of the rest ( I remember one of the locals would tug at his jeans before throwing a kick ) often rushing in at the wrong time at the wrong groups of yobs to get knocked down. I remember dragging one friend off a yob he had ended up ontop of moments before a couple of locals rushed him from behind. Despite 20yrs training at the time, I didn't have that natural "killer streak" like some of my mates to really "damage" some of the attackers but was calm enough see what was happening not just to me but to "back up" others that ended up on the ground. Also getting hit alot in training means you're not phased as much by glancing blows in reality. Can't comment on how it would have been in a 1 to 1 as I'm lucky enough to never have been in a real 1 to 1 encounter
  12. http://www.tayna.co.uk/Type-005L-Varta- ... P3210.html You need one of these. Haven't used this seller......just for illustration
  13. Despite seeing zeds all the time, you just gotta love those lines esp the arches Great specimen you have there
  14. Now many of us get p$ssed when we park our zeds in an empty car park and return to find some numpty parked right next to us. Today i witnessed numptyness on the next level. Was at a big shopping complex and went to "take a leak". Large toilet with over a dozen unused urinals next to me.........but someone decided to "park" himself RIGHT NEXT TO ME Now come on, I thought there was an unspoken rule about this kind of behavior
  15. More time travelling is surely a good thing once you are reunited with ZEDNESS. I was worried you would simply upgrage a few rungs on the German execmobile ladder when the promotion came. Truely happy for you Chris
  16. Oooooooo you lucky thing. Only one thing better than getting a zed........getting a BRAND NEW ZED
  17. Glad you got your money back. I hope the dealer doesn't try passing it off as 100% to another buyer. The next buyer may not be as sharp/quick to reject it and it may all end in tears
  18. My god, you don't hang about At this rate I don't think your zed will either. Won't be surprised if we're reading about a big turbo build in the near future
  19. My local Sainsbury's petrol station have this life sized cardboard copper in the cashier's window. If this is to deter people knicking petrol they must think petrol thieves are all short sighted with the memory of a goldfish Are these new high tech "scarecrow coppers" patrolling anyone elses neighbourhood
  20. +1 Don't stress too much over this. Sort the top up out and just service somewhere else in future. Seeing as you're in Manchester use Lockwood and Greenwood in Audenshaw. Many NW members use them. Been great with me. Club discount too Put this behind you and get back to enjoying your ZED
  21. £48 for 6 Denso plugs off ZMANALEX is a bargain compared to nearly £80 for OEM NGK platinum ones off a dealer.
  22. Black paint is looks lovely and wet
  23. Looking forward to see what EXTRAS come with the zed your mate manages to get you. Green with envy of your connections Enjoy the forum
  24. These pens are a great idea. I now can buy Nankang rubber and paint Pirrelli over the top. People will no longer take the mickey out of my tyre choice
  25. Had some news that my great great uncle left some investments that have grown into millions. On ones claimed but luckily the bank found me. Cheers Uncle Richard! Thing is i'm Chinese and "Richard" wasn't the most POPULAR of names in China all those years ago, so might be a mix up. Who knows, they may not notice. Might just send my details and get lucky.
