  1. The force is weak with this one...
  2. Lovely car...and a really nice touch that as I read this, your post count was 176....best not post a reply to keep it there for a while
  3. Well, I made a first visit to the ZedShet today, and let a Jedi Knight loose on my car to find some shine.... ....but the results will have to wait for Wasso to upload them, or me to learn photobucket
  4. Looks like a great first project.... ....hope to see that one tomorrow!
  5. and yes, those are tonneau brackets, but you seem to be missing the lower brackets and the tonneau itself! Are there any slits in the boot carpet for lower brackets?
  6. Gread vid Will, Rosie sounds sweet as ever! That Ferrari 250GT
  7. You're right, that is a possibility...
  8. Like it could have been a Mini if BMW insisted on sponsoring the event - at least they're assembled here. Or even a Rolls for that matter - doesn't get more british than that, really. Or a Honda or Nissan, assembled in the UK, and with panels made from steel produced in the UK etc. Or a Jaguar, or Land Rover/Range Rover etc. We still do some of this stuff really well, we just aren't proud enough of it to show it off when we get a chance. That was my point really Like??
  9. I saw it on Poole Quay after work this evening - had said I didn't really want to go, but glad I did in the end - good atmosphere /rant Still can't quite believe how heavily BMW feature in the procession, considering how many vehilcles we still make/assemble in this country - have we no pride in our manufacturing industry? /end rant
  10. They are quite expensive, but have always looked after my car well IMO...
  11. If its blistering-up on the outside like that, its most likely that the corrosion has come through from the inside where the skin is crimped to the frame. I would get them to have a look and be a bit forceful with them, otherwise try another dealer...
  12. I really need to get out more - I just clicked on this topic thinking it was going to be about the bumpers not matching on Gunmetal zeds
  13. Hope you settle into your new home quickly, Jim! All the best for the future
  14. No option as far as I know, but SMD has recovered his in dark grey/black and it looks great....
  15. I hit the A27 going eastbound at about 7.15 this morning and it was solid - did 4 miles in 2 hours! My advice is aim to get there for 6.30 when the carparks open. Great day out, so worth the early start
  16. OK mate, no problem. Good luck with finding the code. Dave P.s. I don't think P2001 is a code used on the 350z
  17. I haven't compared, but I think the difficulty is interpreting the flashes of the MIL, and not missing any blinks. The cable and laptop just show the code in the application window, so there is no interpretation problem! I'd be very happy to read it for you if you were able to get to Wimborne (I presume yours is a UK car). An alternative is to do the 'pedal dance' method again and video the MIL flashes then post it up here - somebody may be able to help decipher it for you.
  18. I think Twilight came out on the 2007 models to replace Gunmetal, but I could be wrong...
  19. Can't help with that code, but I do have a cable to read the code for you if it helps - am only near Wimborne in Dorset
  20. Ouch, hope you get mended soon mate Have you tried Megs metal polish on the staples yet?
