ATTAK Z

I think the main barrier to WFH is the loud shouting of those who think people can't be trusted to do so. And I would add that, in my opinion, the ones who complain the loudest are the very ones who can't be trusted. My eldest who works in Melbourne, has been working from home since March. He's now considering moving to somewhere warmer, perhaps Brisbane, and commuting by plane when office visits for meetings are required. He's actually proposed this to his employer so it's not pie in the sky.

I'm sure you'll find us to be a great bunch ... some of us sold our Zeds and moved on to other cars, but we've mostly stayed in touch, so that tells you something about this place. There's a wealth of knowledge too about Zeds so ask away if you need anything.

Can't beat a shiny black one

This looks good

VW winding it up a bit here

I thought I'd look at it from the point of view of the OPEC countries, Saudi Arabia for instance. They rely on oil sales, so they'll have to think of something else to bolster their economy. Could that be hydrogen by electrolysis of sea water powered by solar ? I'm pretty sure some of these countries will be thinking along these lines and the west will be looking to sign them up. Just look at Shell. They virtually run the economy of Nigeria and Nigeria could use sea water and the sun (with the help of Shell) to produce hydrogen too.

It's tonight guys, 8 o'clock Channel 159 on Freesat

Lovely well cared for example !

Yep - they're gang nailed timber trusses - DO NOT CUT BITS OUT under any circumstances ... but I'm sure you knew that

@stanski Happy to advise on structural matters Stan

A couple of recent posts differentiate between big cities and rural areas and to me, that's important. As usual the government is deciding national policy on the basis of problems encountered in London. I have no need nor any wish to travel to London or any big city for that matter. Fortunately all my journeys are for pleasure only, so I'm affected little by the current proposals for toll roads and electric vehicles. Furthermore, as (I think) the oldest member of our club, I doubt very much I'll be driving anything much after 2030 .

I don't think you'll lose money on interesting ICE cars, in fact decent low mileage exotica will probably go up in value. At least I'd advise hanging on to really old stuff. Also look out for home rule for Yorkshire (and we might let you join us @stanski) with passports required to get in or out

We ought to get a meet going on the NY moors when Covid settles down I guess lots here have never been and it's so beautiful up there. There are some good roads on the way there too:-

Have you discovered fusion ?

Purrfick ... welcome to the Porsche club

Bangers and Cash (Yesterday Channel) will feature some 240Zs next week

How will this affect used prices ? Is it time to sell IC vehicles or should we keep the good stuff in case used prices rise ?

SHOCK HORROR !!! Boris Johnson is poised to announce that the government is bringing forward by a decade a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars to 2030 from 2040. New hybrid cars will get a stay of execution but will be banned from 2035.

Welcome to our club

I'm sure @ZMANALEX will be along shortly to answer your queries. How's the change from 5th to 6th in respect of the synchro ? This can also be a problem and Molyslip deffo does help with that.

Yeah it's normal, and it slows down the 0-60 time somewhat. But that's not what the 350's about. Some have added Molyslip to the gearbox which does improve things I think.

Thanks @SuperStu, my post was a bit confusing. I've edited it now to be less so. Hopefully.

Well it's a complicated science and I would never run non-run-flats on a car designed to run on run-flats and vice versa. In other words, just trust the manufacturer of the vehicle to know whether non-run-flat or run-flat tyres are best for that vehicle.

Good idea to check the brakes

It just reminded me of the new Zed - probably the colour.
