pretty much.... my daily food intake consists of 0% fat yogurt and some fruit for breakfast - protien shake mid morning - small salad and a chick breast for lunch and maybe a handful of cashew nuts small protien shake before gym - protien shake after gym - dinner is either more chicken with a bigger salad including some avacado or a lean steak or an omlette with 4 eggs (2 whole and 2 whites) - then a small amount of cottage cheese before bed

since Feb i have lost 3 1/2 stone and put on a load of muscle structure at the same time... Sugar and Carbs are killing your weight loss i cut out Carbs as much as i can (no rice, pasta, bread, potatoes) and have very little sugar or sweet things (no sweets, chocolate, crisps, cakes, cookies) eat loads of chicken breast and eggs (not too many yokes), steak, salad and protien shakes, drink plenty of water and drink coffee with very little milk in it and when i do put milk in its red top. i Gym 3 times a week for 2 hours at a time with 60 / 40 split weights / Cardio and swim on one of my off days and cycle on another bacon is OK just cut a fair amount of the fat off... fat isnt bad.. its fuel for your body but too much will hinder your weight loss check out a few web sites for ides http://www.muscleandfitness.com/nutrition the above is pretty good

what... this one?

keep up Dave... he flared his arches instead

turn mine off when making progress up very twisty roads such as the other week on the stelvio for instance.. find that the inner rear wheel loses traction too easily on the hairpins and the cutting of the power is annoying so prefer to have a little slide out of each turn

i still havent got round to sorting all my shots we must get together Will to compare notes and roads and see if we went the same or different ways in the end.. i found a few jems that i hadnt actually planned to do!

hey i got jumped on earlier for saying the strut brace was held on with 8 bolts and not 6 bolts and 2 nuts so............

5x114.3 to be pedantic

stick with the below and you wont go far wrong Wheel Size 19 x 9 front & 10.5 rear Offset (front & rear) ET 20 Tyre Size Front 245/35/19 & Rear 275/35/19 hope that helps

stock Rays (18 inch wheel) spec Front 18x8 225/45R18 Offset: + 30 mm Rear 18x8.5 245/45R18 96W Offset: + 33 mm use the above on the below and fill your boots http://www.willtheyfit.com/

wheel and tyre advice from Grundy........ Hmmmmmm

far easier just to remove the lot... 8 bolts job done

im many cases the helicoil ends up being stronger than the original part! i had to get a spark plug thread helicoiled and the machine company did it with the engine in place and with no need to strip the top end down! (not on the zed i have to say!)

get the caliper on a bench and drill out the hole straight and oversize then pop in a threaded insert of the correct inner dimension and thread pitch (Helicoil) with some thread lock or something. and bobs your uncle....

i think you are confusing 'Value' with 'Special' new A45 AMG good value and very quick second hand Aston Martin V8 Vantage still very quick but a bit more 'Special'

i can wait.... its not like its going anywhere based redhill / reigate way

one of the best roads i have driven and i can tell you i was not only doing 55mph...... there are some GREAT driving roads in the states and as has been said if you head out into rural areas the cops dont give a damn

so.... im back.... any confirmed takers on this?

Will, massive beer not needed mate. Just glad you took the plunge and went for it.... Amazing out there isn't it! Grime land furka are definitely worth doing in the clear! If you didn't already then stop at the belvedere and go into the cafe / shop at the end of the car par, pay your 7 Swiss franks and go walk inside the Rhone glacier...... Cool When you get back drop me a line and we should meet up and compare routes / notes.

current Zed owner just back from prowling up and down the Swiss, Austrian and Italian Alps if there is a meet i will try and come along

well i am back from our week.... if will does the roads i told him to he is in for a real treat!!!! and as for washing the car!!!! washing it takes up time you could be driving it! get out there and kill some bugs... i have a HUGE amount of pictures to go through but i will start my own thread at some point... 2500 miles and many many passes done, 8 countries and a possible plan for next year even further into new ground! Route 500 Klausen pass Susten pass Grimsel pass Furka pass Julier pass San bernardino pass Splugen pass Stelvio pass Silvretta pass Hahntennjoch pass and many many minor passes that were as good if not better than the main ones....

Cheers. And Will, if I don't get on here before you go have a GREAT trip... Compare notes when you get back

Well I'm on my way..... Roadster boot is stuffed! Oil topped up, tyre pressures checked, washer fluid topped up and extra GB sticker on the back for the Swiss! Just about to board the train. Next stop Germany and the Black Forest

only in france for about 30 mins..... france then belgium then germany then switzerland then italy and then austria and back again if you deffo want it i will package it up and find out about postage costs when i get back
