  1. Car looks stunning - really like that front bumper and pearl white has alwas been one of my favourite colours along with candy apple red (Now that on a 350 would look amazing I reckon!).

     

    With regards to wrapping you def need to tell your insurance, and Ideally I'd recommend that you should tell the DVLA about the wrap as well especially if it's a complete colour change.

     

    It's the DVLA database that the police use to check car details - if a plate comes up showing a red car but it's now white, expect the plod to pull you over for chat. Obviously you won't have done anything wrong but they don't appear to really like having their time wasted :)

  2. Right then lets get something in place! :) don't mean to sound bossy nor want to step on toes!

     

    Lets go for Sunday 9th December (let everyone to shopping and do their bits and bobs on sat!).

     

    How about meet at Sarn services at 11.00 we can have a chat look around then head off for a drive through Afan mountains and valley and pop out at Port Talbot. We can then head down to Llansamlet for food at Taybarns (eat all you can eat) for £9!

     

    Would love to hear more ideas or alternatives but running out of time!

     

     

     

  3. Right with Xmas coming nearer and nearer let's try and get a date and location in - even if we can't all make it :(

     

    A meet is better than no meet :)

     

     

  4. Not sure where everyone is, but is Port Talbot/Bridgend sort of a central place for east and west?

     

    If so what about Port Talbot or similar for a drive up the mountains and through Glyncorrwg and alike.

     

    Few nice places to stop for pics around there - then we could have food at Bridgend for example. Or we could do it the other way round, then go to Taybarns (eat all you can eat) at Swansea?

     

    I'm based in Bridgend so fairly central I guess so can go either direction depending on what's best for the crowd :)

  5. I'm planning on doing this over the Xmas period....

     

    I've got 2 of those polythene seat covers to cover over the seats and going to tape up the dash as best as I can before setting it off.

     

    Apparently a few people have found these "sprays" to get on dash and leave white marks (which don't come off) and/or darken dash panels - so I'm nervous! lol

     

    AutoGlym do one but it's quite expensive, though I'm planning on using the comma one - it's had good reviews across various site.

  6. there's also blinkbox to add in now as well :)

     

    I've currently got LoveFilm - 4 DVDs.BlueRays a month and unlimited online for about £10 a month - but the online is a bit disappointing at the mo. Nothing really up-to-date....

     

    Though it's great it's on the PC, Xbox, PS3 nad the Ipad/Iphone.....

  7. umm they are pretty identical in manufacturing year to the zed, they were 99 to 2008; zed was 2003 to 2009

     

    and have you seen the price of them, they go for the same cash as the zed , and some of the 99's go for under under 5k if not less. they are cheap as chips now.

     

    Good point! Hadn't really realised - maybe they just feel older to me. Having had an escort cab as a second car a while ago the soft top ruins it for me as well. The roof spends most of the time up for me! Lol

     

     

  8. Hmmmm guess I'm going to be popular then! lol

     

    After owning the 350Z for a while I've been quite disappointed..... prior to it I had a Ford Focus ST3 and I've got to admit I had more fun in that than ever the 350Z - in fact it had more power (I know power isn't everything) but I feel the 3.5 lump is just that - a lump. It doesn't feel as alive as my ST which really surprised me.

     

    That said, I've always wanted a 350z as they are in my opinion one of the most gorgeous cars around (and still are!) and one of my dream cars (S2000 and 997 are top on the list as well, but with thr S2000 being a soft top and to me it feels old its put me offi till they get real cheap ;)). All my friends and family have commented that it's a far more grown up and elegant car - the amount of looks you get and thumbs up for approval is interesting....

     

    I'm actually looking into a few other cars to see if it's me or the car - and yes the Evo 8/9 is at the top of the list along with a 370z and Cayman S. Also looking at forced options to see if that will cheer me up....

     

    I'll go hide now.....

  9. 8/9 is better for me as coming back from work Xmas party on 1st however can def do 2nd if preferred!

     

    As wizurd happy with both options but would be great for a sw meet maybe new year or similar :)
