  1. Ahhh the joys of flatpack furniture.

     

    I remember assembling the cotbed in the hallway coz there was more space. Took me over an hour.

    Only to find the assembled cot wouldn't fit through the bedroom door :doh:

     

    Took it apart and started again IN THE BEDROOM :lol::lol:

     

    I'm not the best with DIY. Worst was I was helping a friend to dress and hang a door.

    We chisseled and fitted the hinges, then spent ages chisseling out the space to fit the mortice lock.

    Went to hang the door.

    We'd only gone and put the lock on the same side as the bleedin hinges :surrender::lol::lol::lol:

  2. I think you should put an exhaust on your crimbo list Andy. :lol:

    Seriousely tempted by the K2 group buy. Especially as their fitting station is in Manch near me.

    My OEM's flange doesn't seem to be corroded much so seems a shame to get rid.

     

    Suppose the old one could go in the garage along with my old wheels, and rear lights, and spare CV joints, and..... :lol:

  3. Great minds think alike.

    Watched the weather reports and today was apparently the last day before real winter sets in.

     

    Only managed a coat of collinite and wheel gaurd. No time to clay :thumbdown:

    Also put a coat of KURRUST around the flange between the backbox and midpipe to help prevent corrosion at this week point before they salt the roads.

     

    It's amazing how your eyes acclimatise to the dark when you'r detailing.

    You reckon it's ONLY a little dark with enough light to carry on, go indoors to get something with your eyes getting used to the indoor lights......go back out and it looks almost pitch black :lol::lol:

     

    Well done on getting the Azure sorted before the light dissappeared :thumbs:

  4. Many many thanks for all your replies.

    Not having "really" listened to this genre before, you can imagine almost all your recommendations sound new and exiting to me DESPITE ME BEING 6-8yrs TOO LATE :lol:

     

    More than enough here to keep me busy and help to create a long Christmas list :teeth:

    Can't believe how narrow minded I've been all these years. I suppose it has alot to do with being influenced by my peers in my youth where the closest thing to rock that was accetable was RunDMC's "walk this way"

  5. To be honest, I think 300C is a great choice, especially if you still have 1 performance car in the family.

     

    May not be a great performance car, but performance and handling will be the last thing on your mind when transporting your precious baby :dummy: around.

     

    When our baby was born I drove so mildly I reckon I would have got flat cornering with zero body roll even if driving a Citroen 2CV :lol:

     

    Even now she is 1yr old I do my utmost to stay in the slow lane, sometimes driving extra slow so journey takes longer and she sleeps longer in the back.

     

    Actually, come to think of it HOW ABOUT A 2CV :teeth:

    I bet that's thrown a spanner in the works now :lol:

  6. Totally agree the standard horn is pants.

     

    Only good thing about it is you get to bash the centre of the steering wheel in anger to use it. :rant:

     

    Hate cars with a tiny button to activate horn.........by the time you've found it the culprit has long gone :yawn:

  7. I ordered my 05 zed new with the Nismo Aero kit from the dealer.

     

    It should be on the original invoice when you ask to look at the paperwork.

    Assuming the prices for 54 and 05 were similar, brand new with the Rays and Nismo kit the original invoice should show purchase price of around £31k :headhurt: unless purchaser negotiated a big discount.

     

    Another sign to look for is the factory fitted kit should be absolutely mint.

     

    As for insurance, you will pay more with a factory fitted kit, but less than an aftermarket kit.

     

    Looks like a lovely car.....hope you get it for the right price. :thumbs:

  8. Nice meeting you today.

     

    Your camera is amazing :#1:

    How it managed to capture anything in the poor light tonight is beyond me.

     

    Even my own eyes (set to maximum exposure :lol: ) struggled to see what your camera managed :wacko:

     

    If you ever want to swap it for something more portable, I have a lovely little Fuji F40 :lol:

  9. This was the first time seeing a group of other zeds up close being my first meet.

    Nice meeting you all and your cars.

     

    Made a point of leaving last so I could hear all your different zorsts....couldn't remember which was which now but all sounded good. Even the standard ones were pleasing to the ear :thumbs:

     

    Next time Hopefully I won't be so bashful :blush: and I'll bug you all for a passenger ride to experience the aural delights from the cockpit......maybe help me decide which zorst to pick when my OEM packs in.

     

    Cheers

    Andy :wave:

  10. You didn't mention which event was more painful.......the dentist or the curbed alloy :headhurt:

     

    The nerves in my mouth are in a funny position.

    My top ones can be numbed no probs but can take 4-5 jabs on the bottom jaw and buggers still not numb :scare:

    Must be gebetic coz my 2 bros are the same.

     

    Still reckon damaging the zed is more painful.

    Was in a multi storey car park once and CRUSHED a sideskirt on a curb on a tight bend.

    It crunched on impact.....like a knife in the heart. Then crunched some more as I tried to manouver away :surrender: .

     

    Hope the alloy fixes OK :wave:

  11. Missus tells me our baby is having her 1yr old jab at the GP Thurs morning.

    If she is ill afterwards I'm under house arrest :surrender:

     

    Any harm in slipping some whisky in baby's bottle :dummy: to ensure she sleeps well :lol:

    (well maybe some Calpol then to decrease chances of her playing up)
