  1. I've always wanted a garage and when we moved at the end of last year it was a major factor that had to be considered when looking for the right property. I was happy; found this lovely house, everything was perfect and it even had the garage....so chuffed. I then purchased the 350z around 3 weeks later after searching for the right one for nearly 18 months.......budget restrcitions and I'm so what of a perfectionist. All happy............................until I realised that the Zed does JUST squeeze in the garage but I would then have to sleep in her as cannot open either door and clearly no sunroof. Perhaps I should have gone for the Roadster. GUTTED!!! So frustrating
  2. Wow super looking wedding transport.........all the best with the marriage.
  3. New list for club stickers 1. Mitch 2. un1eash 3. BACON - Full set please 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. rtbiscuit I see you mentioned you have to purchase the material, either white or silver would be fine with me.
  4. Sorry!!!! Did you really just say that you believe the speed limits are about right................BUT if you're cruising on a motorway it's usually around the 80mph mark!!! Are you not contradicting yourself slightly here?
  5. I was encouraged by my parents after passing my test at 17..............at the first attempt I must add ...........to continue with my driver training and I firstly completed "PASS PLUS" and then a further advanced driver training course with the Police. To be perfectly honest I think this kind of advanced training should be compulsory and if this isn't completed within 2 years for example then you lose your license and must start over again with the theory test and practical examinations etc.
  6. Not me..................I don't want to jinx it but I have been points free now for 3 years after my SP-30 was removed from my licence that I obtained in late 2004!!!
  7. +1 Think it would look better in all black......much more stealth!!!
  8. This topic carries on from a previous topic started by "Phinnies 1" regarding a possible speeding ticket and I was eager to learn your opinions on the idea that perhaps our national speed limits need refreshing or updating. I do agree that 30 mph in all built up areas is necessary for the well-being of pedestrians and the like.............but are our national speed limits on the faster single carriagways and dual carriageways in the UK not a LITTLE OUT OF DATE in 2010???? Currently the Highway code states that at 30mph the stopping distance is 23 meters; at 40mph the stopping distance is 36 meters; at 50mph it's 53 meters; at 60 mph it's 72 meters and at 70 mph (for we never go above this speed do we??? ) the stopping distance is 96 meters. But are our national speed limits not dependant upon these stopping distances calculations which have not been updated for a few years now??? I understand our stopping distances are governed by weather/road conditions, type and condition of vehicle, load etc; not to mention the age, health and mental ability of the driver can all affect the time taken to react and stop; but surely as a general rule our cars and vehicles are much better designed and equipped to handle higher speeds with improved stopping abilities!!! Does this not mean our speed limits should reflect our advancements in car technology and design now in 2010???? Your thoughts please?
  9. Think it was Top Gear to be honest!!! But I may be wrong.
  10. You're very trusting of the guys jumping with ya...............they could have scratched the paint work with one wrong move. Superb pics though
  11. My missus likes to drive bare foot but I've banned her from ever doing so........she thinks I'm mean and over reacting at how dnagerous this is. Well that's the line I go with........to be honest it's just I can't stand the smell of her feet!
  12. How did the meet go today Lexx????
  13. Well..........that's just wrong!!!
  14. What about it? Perhaps it's full of spring!!!
  15. It's got to be a ROLL really...........I should know!!!!
  16. Welcome to the crew, we're a friendly bunch..............most of the time
  17. Perhaps when the England cricket team take on Australia this November, it should be suggested to move the venue to Iceland rather than Brisbane..............the trophy could be increased in size slightly!!!
  18. Brilliant...........wife gets the pay out and you spend the bills
  19. Brilliant......I know exactly what you mean I got so excited the other day when I noticed another Zed heading my way that I became all flustered and..............whoops wrong stalk!!! Wipers going, by the time I realised, he had passed. My missus thought I was so sad for even contemplating flashing a car that I have no idea about who the owner is................they just don't understand.

    My matt orange zed

    That's what I call a change...............superb looking motor! At least you know your car is one of a kind....for now anyway!!!
  21. Welcome to the club Paul..........I'm sure someone on here will have the feedback you need! There's a few very technically minded members who have been great with advice when I've needed it. Have fun with the new motor
  22. I was just going to pop out & take a picture of my garage too.....was then going to say that it is a lovely garage, its just a shame I can't get the 350 in there unless I fancy sleeping at the wheel!
  23. I have two cats and they are my girls...if anyone even looked at them the wrong way I would have serious words; if someone threatened them I would kick their head in & if anyone tried something like a pot shot with an air rifle....well put it like this, I may shortly be up on a man slaughter charge. Has no-one realised the obvious? The originally described cat clearly has good taste and is merely protecting or guarding your car.....no-one will ever attempt stealing a car with a cat asleep on it You should actually be thanking your new friend!!!
  24. Wow...good guide, going to get these bulbs tomorrow. To have such a dramatic affect on the overall appearance so easily and at low expense....superb. Am I right in thinking, accessing the sidelight bulb lower down in the headlight isn't as simple???
  25. Looks a nice motor Niko but I have to agree with some of the crew.....GM rules! Nice to have the front reflectors already upgraded for ya...result.
