  1. SOLD pending payment
  2. For Sale, Set of Black wheel nuts + Locking nuts. Never used. £30 + postage
  3. Nothing like a bit of retail therapy to cheer you up.
  4. Looks absolutly great was toying with the idea of a second Z and this would be the one.
  5. A thin coat is the solution. My preference is Meguires Ultimate paste which takes about 10 Min dry. By the time iv'e been completley round the car the first pannel is ready to be wiped clear. The trick to easy removal is for it to be completely dry if you use your finger and wipe a small line and there is a smudge then it's not dry so wait a little longer till it no longer smudges. I use this technique after being shown at the Meguiars Seminar last year. There absolutley no need for a buffer.
  6. I wouldnt think you would get any siginficant exhaust smell in the cabin from a small water leak which will be a bit of exhaust condensation. You should really hear something from the exhaust if there was a major leak. I would stay away from gum pastes as they become brittle over time. There ar many high tempurature silicon sealant out there which will do the job better as they are flexible. Flexi joints on the y pipe may be leaking.
  7. A day off work, no need for an excuse so a drive out into the peak District.
  8. 5k (ideally around 4).
  9. Suffering from exactly the same issue on my 04. Waiting for an update re your dealer but not hopefull as water collects behind the seal and just sits there.

  11. +1 but very nice.
  12. Well worth the trouble imo,
  13. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=55163
  14. I remember one Derby football match when parking on double yellows was still being enforced by traffic wardens and police alike. A council van with three traffic wardens parked up on the double yellows gave me a wave as if to say watch this. They then proceeded to dish out approx 30 tickets to the offending vehicles. Yes you guessed it, out came my ticket book and stuck one on their vehicle. The traffic warden returned and was not best happy to find the £30 FPN on the screen. At least these got off with a warning.
  15. Last nights episode gets the it wasn't the best episode iv'e ever seen but far better than the previous two. The Bently was the star of the show and would take it every time when put up against the Ferrari.

  20. Nice to hear I wouldnt like to be in you shoes when filling out an insurance quote with these stats. If i could give any advice to anyone who cares to listen, observation, awareness of your surrounding and antisipation is key to safe driving. Treat every other road user as an idiot who WILL do the unexpected.
  21. Does a crash make you a better driver? Only if you survive. I can only begin to asume that inexperience when driving a RWD has a lot to do with the majority of comments in this thread re, (Back end stepping out). Iv'e found that unless there is outside influences which cannot be foreseen it's almost impossible to get the back end slipping without being over zelous with the right foot. The Z is such a great car to drive it's all too easy to get carried away and fall to temptation to push the boundries. Im my experience drivers skill levels, fall far short of the levels of grip of modern day cars so when grip does give way it's generally at too higher speed thus normally no way back and the enevitable happend. Having said all of this, and to answer the original question. There is no substitute for expeirience so if you can walk away from any crash providing you learn from it then, yes crashing should make you a safer but not a better driver.
