HEADPHONES

Just ordered another bottle of this https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/turtle-wax-dry-shine-rinse-wax-512-delivered-at-carparts4less-3326285 My first order will be arriving Monday but today's rim session reminded me how hard applying an LSP is in the cold damp winter. So I'll be putting this in a tiny travel spray bottle to apply to wheel barrels and spokes after rinsing, then simply jetrinse again to activate. Silver rims seem to be very forgiving at showing streaks from over application or not drying down after application with this stuff. So I'm planning to use a few spritz per wheel after every wash. Will report back when I get it.

Now winter is here and most of the weekend is daddy duties, it's almost impossible to have time to get surfaces perfectly dry. So washed the rims with shampoo and a mitt. Got most of the water off with a quick leaf blower session. Then wiped them over with Optimum Optiseal as it doesn't mind damp surfaces. I used to love the glossy finish of Megs Endurance gel, but don't have time to dry the tyres 100%. So after the cordless leaf blower I wiped over with the water based Autoglym instant tyre dressing. Happy days Until some theiving toe rags knicked my number plates a couple hours ago

........of it's number plates Tucked her away in the garage while I await new plates. Robbed the front and rear plates a couple of hours ago. Neighbour came to tell me he saw lads messing with the car while it was parked on the road. Thankfully no other damages. Somehow I doubt it's to clone another 05 sunset orange zed, but you never know. Got a crime reference number as I'm expecting them to be used to set off speed cameras, steal petrol or worse. Anyway, told friends if they see my zed driving around with unloved paint, dirty rims and tailpipes....... IT'LL BE THE CLONE NOT MINE

Very creative ad. Someone at Bosch must have some funky nightmares to come up with this

Got one from the main dealer. They ordered it. 2 days later it arrived. Drove to collect it. About £7 if I remember. Including petrol there and back I reckon £12-15. So if you can get one delivered from a different supplier for £15 I'd do that and save time. Or jam a Haribo in and hope for the best

Not sure if a repost. Only just watched this and spotted a blue convertible 370z in the end battle.

+2 Lockwood and Greenwood. They've looked after my zed for the past 11 years. They have a courtesy car available if prebooking work in. If your car is lowered, be wary of the entrance. The left side has a dip. Approach from the right half

Congratulations. Lovely photo that.

Probably been going on for years but still a distressing sight to return to for any owner.

Went to Arcade Club in Bury with the kids today. https://www.arcadeclub.co.uk/ Absolutely fantastic with machines I spent much of my youth on in the 70s and 80s upto current VR Occulus stuff. A bar with basic food like hot dogs and burgers that come with Nachos for £3, so not extortionate. Plenty of parking.......but don't bring your lowered cars in case you need the overflow car park with a steepish ramp.

Was at Arcade club in Bury and spotted it Arcade Club was amazing. Europe's largest collection of classic machines. All unlimited use on entry

Spray onto a wet car after washing, rinse again then dry type products. Interesting to see Turtle wax Dry and Shine come 2nd. Carparts4less have it for £5 delivered this weekend with code WEEKEND17 so thought I'd order it just for fun :b https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/p/turtlewax-dry-shine-750ml-552777351?gclid=CjwKCAiA5JnuBRA-EiwA-0ggPVSCmWK2MT45PMEZq4yxG_V6rosqTSGgz7fqXGRCjAdmwfZoc-_DqxoCwPMQAvD_BwE

Wow.......that undercarriage

Congratulations on the arrival of the newborn baby. Now with two kids 11 and 8, the Zed is about the only thing that keeps me sane. When I'm feeling down and sorry for myself sacrificing friends and hobbies time for the daily grind, just sitting in the zed and go for a simple drive to the supermarket brings a little brightness to my day. Maybe keep it til the warmer weather returns. Get a better price for it then. Or if it becomes your little oasis of calm and a sanctuary from PAR.ENT.ing, keep it, coz every dad needs AphukenbrakE

Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for the heads up.

I've got a Japanese performance magazine somewhere featuring 3 zeds on the cover. One twin turbo. One supercharged. And one with a while heap spent on an NA upgrade. The NA one was owned by Giles who was chairman of the "other" UK 350z forum that became **REMOVED**.com. Was an amazing feature. Gotta have a root around and hope the missus didn't junk it

Surprisingly close! Not to mention the zed had uprated suspension, and the BRZ bigger wheels than stock (probably heavier unsprung weight hampering performance)

In a blink of an eye ten years flies past! That's a Banzai copy worth cherishing

The previous owner didn't deserve a zed. Proper nasty inside. Can only imagine the stale stink of fags and crud!

Welcome to the OC

Good to hear Another 05 owner here. Owned it over 14 years from new. Like you say.......the smiles never go away. Just got back from a quick supermarket run and despite it just being a 5 min drive each way on empty roads, it still was "an occasion"

Welcome to the OC and congratulations on your purchase .

A warm welcome to you both. Must be nice being able to share a common interest with your son.

That last pic would be worthy of a calendar entry (if Gs are allowed). Really shows how the blacked out headlights and grill transform a G.
