  1. I meant the OP!
  2. Or just drive round to Ians place and watch the magic!
  3. ...and top it up with dodo supernatural wax, you can get a small pot on eBay for about 15 quid.
  4. I feel your pain mate - first viewer bought mine too - it has left a hole in my motoring life that needs filling sooner rather than later!

    ...this seems to be doing the rounds on a few sports car forums, if you are in the Huddersfield area might be worth an hour of your time. http://bbs.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-general-1/947972-losing-my-son-please-help.html
  6. It is true, lived there for a couple of years and most cars have scrapes on bumpers - their argument is that there is hardly any space to park, so make the most of what space you have!
  7. ...dont park the Zed in public http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJEOHGCo2I4
  8. ..has been smashed clean off by some very considerate driver who left it hanging there and drove off. Before I go trawling ebay, anyone know of someone reputable I can get a replacement from? Its a mk1 focus, electric mirror (mirror intact, just the housing thats smashed), passenger side.
  9. Mate of mine has a Clio and its worked fine with their now 1 year old baby, fitting stuff in no problem. Four doors are easier work though
  10. I had the word 'Zagato' was used once when someone was trying to guess what mine was. I also went to Goodwood recently, with Darren and Colin, parked up and a fella came up to us and said 'Is that a 350z?' pointing at mine which of course we pointed out it was and Colin hastily dished out some forum business cards, the guy then said he wanted to buy one and said 'I am only budgeting for about £14k-£15k so wont be able to afford one like that' pointing at my Zed... ...should have sold it there and then
  11. ...erm, where do you start with that! Good god never seen anything so hideous.
  12. Got a standard all black one for £15 off ebay, looks absolutely fine and did the job.
  13. If you go to a dealership. A Porsche is cheaper to run than a 350z. Parts are cheaper and servicing done by an indie is the same or less. But its not the 350z we are comparing against, its the cost of maintaining an MX5 or the like which are much cheaper.
  14. The first rule of Zed ownership, never assume a Nissan dealership is competent.
  15. I used to use Mobil 1, to be honest though if you just bought the car with 60k on the clock or something you have no idea what the previous owners have been sticking in it, they could have been using sawdust and tar for all you know so sticking £100 worth of oil in now is going to make naff all difference. Just go for a known brand fully synth as recommended and you will be fine.
  16. Brilliant
  17. Problem with Porsches is that your £10k turns into £15k including servicing and repairs pretty quickly. If you google woodsport I think it is you will find the MR2 conversion guys.

    Get some C5 for the wheels, you will never use another wheels product ever again.
  19. This might just be the chap you want...with change out of £10k too http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mazda/mx-5-mk2/1-8-turbocharged/703282
  20. Tap the top of the switch for about ten seconds, might just be the connection
  21. Wife wants these out the living room! Throw some offers my way...
  22. Yeah gutted to see her go, had 12 watchers on ebay as well.
  23. Went via PH
  24. The cats that came off when I put the HFCs on £75, prefer collection as they are pretty heavy from Richmond Surrey, or if you want to arrange delivery? Stock engine bay cover £40 delivered SOLD Standard Oil and Rad caps £15 delivered for the pair
  25. Trying not to think about it...had to drive a 1.8l Focus to cornwall today...it wasn't quite the same....
