  1. My old honda civic, which was classed as a write off has been exported! :O
  2. As said. Remember its 98 ron to. When I first got my zed I was doing a 30mile all round commute. I'd spend around £50 to get to work and back a week. Might have some fuel left for a little trip. Thing you want to think of is, you may need to replace hefty items. Clutches are prone to going as I'm sure your aware. Disks and pads can be cheap if you just get average stuff. But your still looking at the best part of £500 for front and back. Tyres £400 for all 4 - ish. It all depends how much you want it. Over the past year I've spend ALOT of money on my car just repairing it. But it's worth it as I love the car. Only way to find out is to get one! I'd get the smallest loan you can though!
  3. Sorry to hear that mate! I just don't see why people would do things like this! I'd love to see someone try and burgle my parent's house while i was there, all rooms alarmed, dogs and my dad had a good selection of shotguns, rifles and i kept a samurai sword above my bed. Think it's everyones worst nightmare being burgled whilst you and your loved ones are in. I'd like to think it'd try and beat @*!# out of them haha!
  4. Haha good ol' americans! maybe if they shifted for themselves they'd be less obese
  5. i have my fingers crossed it will be snow snow snow, bring on the snow +1!!!!!! +2!!!!! a year is to long to wait for decent snow IMO!
  6. This year is going to be very strange for me, i used tyo have to drive the zed 13miles to work in feet of snow each morning, now i live close to work and walk it. Going to miss the challange i think hahaha!
  7. Tein have less of a drop and i imagine will improve handling. Not got any though.
  8. I love how people took him seriously. More to the point though these days people who get pensions are very lucky. I myself am one of those lucky few who get a pention in a private sector company. I saw on BBC new North East last night, a young man of 21 who was striking, he'd been working in the public sector for 1 year, earned 16k and had a pension, but he was going to have to work for longer and his pension wouldn't be as good. Although he said he was greatfull for all of this he still was on strike, yet never seemed to think about the fact he had a job and a private pension, things that a lot of people in this country don't have at the minute. On the topic of credit. I've always had cards, i use them for my insurance, getting a interest free card getting insurance and paying it off, always at 0%. Now this year has been horrid for the Zed, everything that can go wrong has gone wrong and without the funds in the bank. I've put these on my card but always knowing i can make the payments and if worse comes to worse i sell the car and pay it off. Now this year i'm going to be paying it off and not living quite as i'd like but i know that in a few months i'll be debt free and i know i have that restraint. Also my cards are always 0% playing the shuffle game. Cards are usefull but just spending and spending on them and one day realising that you can't pay them off is just silly. i remember watching a program on BBC1 afaik and a woman paid just the minimum, on a 1.5k card with a 16.9% interest APR. it would cost her 5k and 16 years to pay off. Why would you ever do that?! My 2p
  9. imagine if they get several reports they'll follow it up and if they see her driving dangerously then they will have another record as well to show it's not a one off.
  10. i bought mine march 2010, since then it's had a new 2x clutches, flywheel, gearbox, banana arms, drop links, tyres. For all of that your looking at a few thousand pounds. 1k at least for clutch fly and tyres + labour. not saying all that will go wrong for you but it's not cheap if it does go wrong. i'd budget for a new clutch, fly and tyres if they haven't been changed yet.
  11. :o can i come? I reackon he'd love it if there was a 350z meet at a gig he was playing hahaha!
  12. I know this isn't the first as there is a faithless song about a 350z, but i like this cheeky little ref. Skepta, Sticks and Stones. 1:23 Are there any others i don't know about :O hope it's not a
  13. Can tell your not a true smoggy toby
  14. i'm surprised it wasn't a parmo eating contest tbh!
  15. My old man used to drive mine quite a bit, he loves it. Cought him talking to his mates about it a fair few times to "it has the speed of a rally car" The local mechanic who's also his friend drove it to and he said it's the fastest thing he's driven. lol
  16. BT/Openreach are taking on new engineers so i got told by the CEO yesterday.
  17. i'm assuming thats directed at me Yeah he seems pretty happy, only had him a week and we can take him out of the tank and he crawls on us. He likes me so much he did a poo on me last night, the little bugger!
  18. same mate, i get mine online. shop for a frame you like and order it online Also buy sunglasses in winter, always cheaper
  19. :o You must have picked up some very expenisve frames mate. unless they're verifocals in which case the lenses are very expensive.
