  1. Oh btw, were you at Trinity when a dumbass checker didn't pay attention and let a crane driver take off a shoreside ROB that was still lashed with bellybars, and thus ripping the WHOLE bellybar off it's cleat, then falling off the ship at high tide and hitting a berth op? It hit his leg directly, no bounce of the ground first. He now works as a IMV driver since he cannot perform any B-Op duties anymore.
  2. Correction, the 2.2 FW has now been made unlockable. Once you Jailbreaked your iPhone 3G with QuickPwn and installed Cydia, look for the yellowsn0w application, which will unlock the 2.2 FW for you. This was realeased by the Dev Team just after New Years. btw, my 2G iPhone came from the US, bought it off eBay when they first became available and using my 7-year old vodafone contract SIM in it with no issues whatsever, running 2.2 FW too.
  3. It all comes down to SilenTKK8 tbh. I'm either, he's gotta attend some works do on the Fri evening. I'll give it a rough estimate of 90mins - 2 hours for me to get there from my place.
  4. I wont be early mate, maybe 11ish, have to see. That IS early for me....lol
  5. Hi there. btw...got any pics?
  6. That's a hell of a bargain imo. Got a 2G iPhone myself which has been unlocked by myself (have done other peoples 2G's too, for free ofc) The thing that gets me wound up is the cheek of some companys to charge for an unlock, when you can do this by yourself for free. All you need is the ability to read and an internet connection. On that note, if anybody wants any help unlocking iPhones, I'm sure I can direct you to the right info needed.
  7. I understand that the time factor is important to some on here, but take a moment and think about it. Would you rather have it done quick and rubbish or rather more time consuming but done properly? Like Jason Statham said in Transporter 3: "You look after your car and your car will look after you" Like I said before, it's a terrible shame Nemesis shut shop. Being located in Colchester, they'd have been my first choice...oh well.
  8. I want to see Adrians Zed too tho, so I gotta try and convince my mate to go early.
  9. We had Emmas sister ship in too once. Been a Trinity Berth-Op for about six years now. If you have any say in the matter of lashing gear, could you make a case to go back to the old hook-end bottlescrews as opposed to the new opentype bottle screws with one way ratchet nuts? I used to love the hook-end ones, so much easier to lash and unlash. Well, you should be able to pick me out easily in the winter, I usually wear a shemagh and wrap it round my head to look like a terrorist.
  10. That roof pic looks so cool. If you couldn't see the edges on that pic, it would look quite arty I think.
  11. there is a thread about servicing at DMS http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... highlight=

    Kickplates

    How did you get you zed in your front room?????? R I like the carpet, dunno if it beats M350ZB's tho... I don't remember right, but I think MJP sells the genuine Nissan alu kickplates for less than OEM Nissan prices (can't check cos their online shop is not working atm). You could always ring them and ask at : Website: www.mjpauto.com On-Line Shop: www.mjpshop.co.uk secure on-line shopping environment Contact Person: Mike Feeney Telephone: +44 (0)1277 374201 Fax (24 hour): +44 (0)1277 374986 Mobile: 07785 932086 (UK only) Address: MJP (Eastern Auto) Park View Ongar Road Kelvedon Hatch Brentwood Essex CM15 0DF I bought my OEM BT module from MJP and no cmplaints at all, good service and good prices
  13. Main thing is nobody got hurt and hopefully you'll become a more observant driver as a result. You could get that azure bumper off sunset350z, then you'd also have a carbon lip insert already fitted, all you'll need ia a respray. That should work out cheaper, cos if you only go for the respray and purchase of bumper brakets, and re-attach the bumper yourself, that should work out alot cheaper than haveing a workshop do all the work and charging you full price.
  14. That's cool stuff. I just wanted to get a feel for what is gonna be most likely gonna be, thus maximising my chances of meeting some people from here. Unless of course people are gonna be hanging around all day (doubt that tho)
  15. I wish I could sneak my Zed in and take pics, like under a crane or something.
  16. Yup, that's the one. I thought I saw some viper stye twin stripes on the bonnet but thought "Nah, can't be..." My mate was parked up infront of that bistro thing where the pedestrian crossing is, I was taking some pics... Had just got back in the car when I spotted you.
  17. Are we getting close to a decision yet?
  18. That blue ship is a Norfolk Line Ro-Ro. Landguard extension will primarily be given Maersk priority afaik. I doubt that Hutchinson would have let Maersk take over their port, even if it's only partial. Currently there are only some dinky cranes on Landguard, but an order for 12 cranes (I think) has been made and they will be bigger than the biggest one we currently have over at Trinity. So it should easily cope with the likes of the Emma Maersk class vessels. I did work on the Emma Maersk on her maiden call to Felixstowe, impressive to say the least, but 23 wide is alot of lashing!
  19. I'd happily pay £17.50 for 10 years road tax
  20. I've never had a Photo license, still got my old school paper one (it's falling to bits tho, lol)
  21. That's part of the expansion development the port is going thru. You see where that blue ship is on the right? We are reclaiming land in that area so we can expand the landguard quayside. There are plans to increase the number of cranes on landguard too, hopefully by the end of the year.
  22. Makes sense actually, thanks fiddy
  23. the carpet idea is brill tbh. May need to add another bit of carpet by the door about head height, so you can take out your frustrations of the day on it, lol
  24. Ok, here's a silly question perhaps. Does the aftermarket HU, like the Pioneer 900BT, make use of the already existing mic in the car? I'm just guessing that it may be included in the ICT loom, but don't know for sure. Thanks
