I sold my Nissan 350z last year and bought myself a 63 plate Mini JCW, can I still turn up to the off meet?

I appreciate that I might get left behind in some of the convoys lol

My Zed has gone today to a nice new home on the Isle of Wight, admins can you please lock this post please!

Been great to participate on and in this forum some great people. Maybe the NE Folks will still let me come to some meets!

Could you hear my Non-Resonated Cobra as you went past?

Cheers for the wave mate!

Bar a slight shower or 2 the weather seems good this weekend, I fancy a run out somewhere!

I live in Darlington and fancy a saunter over to the lakes or to Whitby or somewhere else whatever takes peoples fancy.

I'd rather do an early start than later as there'll be less people on the roads - got no sat nav (mrs has it in Shropshire) so I'll not really be planning a route as such I just want to go for a decent drive out.

Any takers/ideas?

Jeff in Darlo!

How do I change the title of the post? Just want to add price drop.

Price reduction....

Don't know could be worth a look!

Not lowering the price just yet, but I think I am putting it on Autotrader this evening.

Not had any interest on the forum yet, debating put it up on Autotrader at the weekend; not overly keen on AT as you seem to get more tyre kickers.

Nice weather might be time for a run out at the weekend again, I've nothing on for this Sunday 26th!

Not in any mad rush to sell to I can wait for the right buyer.

Wasn't sure the pictures displayed ok but you all seem to be able to view them. I read the forum all the time just haven't written much.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions that people, I put the advert up on the forum first so that she can go to a good home.

I am more than happy to drive to meet people within reason.

Hi guys,

I am reluctantly selling my car due to a change in work circumstances. If you're looking at this advert you know what you want, in my opinion this is one of the best examples in the North-East.

See who else fancies it, otherwise we could meet somewhere between Darlo and Sunderland?

Sorry got pre-occupied, Easter meet hairyman?

I know the weathers dodgy, anyone fancy a meet up somewhere anywhere for a coffee/run?

Is this staged or are people prepared to drive like this?

Already done!

Tyres were completely unbalanced and tracking out.

I checked the tyre pressures myself all at 35psi as recommended.

Nope no clouting went on I watched them change them, i'll let you know what garage says.

I am wondering whether the Davanti's are not rounded off properly with being a cheaper tyre.

Just had 2 new front tyres fitted, got interesting drive now and I can't fiugure out why.

I now drift to the lest quite prominently if I let go of the steering, also on motorway at 50mph and over I get a wicked wobble through the steering.

Tyres have been re-balanced 2x with no joy, it's going in for a 4 wheel alignment check tomorrow at my regular servicing garage to have investigative surgery.

Drift could be alignment but why the steering wobble with newly balanced tyres, neither happended with the old Potenza's.

New tyres are Devanti DX460's I know they not the best tyres but did it as a test for my local tyre dealer; i'm kind of evaluating them for him.

Any ideas people?

Jeff

Can't remeber what the potenza's are. toyo's were t1 r's and s's and 452 falkens

What are the recommended? Got MPSS on rear but don't want to pay that much; Potenza's currently on the front but not that impressed.

I've had Toyo's before which were good and Falkens but the Z didn't like falkens!
