  3. Get ya self back to Canada and get a rental, they use better road salt and you can have as may tank slappers as you want for the excess. Oh......and on the West Coast the powder is much better than Europe, air is a bit cleaner too..... Christ !!!!! I'm goin meself!!!!! Fellow Ex Canadian.
  4. Did the lights flicker?????????? He was a big dude, even the strongest are fragile.
  5. No such thing as too much power....just not enough traction. You will get over it in time
  6. Automotive Project Quality Engineer for 30 years.
  7. But of course on a couple of conditions: Scrap Road Tax Scrap Insurance Tax Abolish Speed Cameras No Public Traffic Law Enforcement On So Called Private Roads No Average Speed Cameras No Fixed Speed Cameras Increased Min & Max Speed Limits Reduction In Insurance Tax So Called Levied For The Public Road Use Contingent Why not issue some demands of our own, afterall were the poor sods who are going to be paying for big brother to stake a claim on our whereabouts and empty our pockets while there at it and no doubt share the information with the public sector. Do I Sound Bitter......Well poor motorist gets it again, what they whisper about today will become everyday life in three to five years, subliminal conditioning, by the time it comes to fruition you have already subcontiously capitulated.
  8. Well done!!! a week suffering shite like that is too much but just goes to prove all this dignity in the workplace malarky is just show by employers. I can speak from experience having worked for Dickension attitude gaffers on a few occasions...... needless to say not for long when you reach a certain age you stop putting up with crap!!! There are not many situatons in life that are irreversable only the obvious one so best foot forward you can focus all that energy you used putting up with dick heads into more positive ventures.
  9. ENVIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. This one worries me, had mine serviced by main dealer couple of weeks back for a reasonable £119.00 but all the bill noted was Texaco Oil no grade so although running well a bit troubled by the ambiguity around oil grade. Could ask I suppose but after the fact who is going to tell the truth?? Should have specified the grade or got the oil myself.
  11. Glad you found my overmats amusing They are like brand new tooooooooooo!!!!!! Wanta buy em??????? None of us are in the business of giving money away doesn't matter how much or little we have but it's strange how the dealers of other marks will give you a better deal, ay ho will keep looking, the zed going to be hard to beat for condition but onward and upward.
  12. You and me too, did the same last Saturday looked at an auto 370z, only 2.5k on te clock, 60 plate what a beastie but had to rule the deal out due the **** poor px offer and that was from a Nissan dealer. My car 9.5k 2008 twilight 313GT just serviced 13 moths MOT Sat Nav, Rear Park, Overmats including boot and rear vertical tonneau....mint...........12k. Not on your life Mr Dastardly Dealer .... Go FRO. Think I will stick with her and change me daily driver instead.
  13. Mine is always garaged, drag it out weekends for a tinker and a blast but shut away most of the time. Glad the weather is getting better so as I can use her for the commute a couple of days a week.......BBC Weather website, where would I be without it. Gives the Honda a rest, the old workhorse has to deal with everything.
  14. Beat it see if it fails, if so you can take it back to Arnold that's what dealers are for
  15. Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tis the time to enjoy, weather was great the weeked good enough to get 13 months MOT & 6 Months Tax on the beast and give it a lamping. Just had her serviced so gave her lungs some exercise and burnt some gas Nice to be back at the wheel......dry days only of course
  16. Buy mine!!!!! Best In The Country.......But I Am Biased
  17. Repair, don't fit a new door 9 times out of 10 the shut lines never match as well as the original. You can have a brand new door fitted and blended in and it could still look like they have fitted a door off a Ford Anglia. Body In White panels come in batches and I can say after working in BIW in the past differences between presses can on paper look minimal but in reality over the distance on that sort of panel can look massive when fitted. Sounds daft but trust me. Don't matter how good the paint match is it's the continuity of the trim and gap around the door aperture that will draw your eye
  18. Have you got the headlights switched on ????

    Hens Teeth!!!

    Thanks Guys....... Now anybody got a set of......HENS TEETH!!!
  20. Probably been through this forum time and time again but been trying to locate a Vertical Tonneau cover for the zed now for a few months.....found one on fleabay the other day at Brian Leighton Garages and negotiated a knock down price of £50. Ot was a BNIB and was chuffed until he changed the buy it now price on ebay and someone else pipped me to the post Most annoyed especially with BLG but these just aren't produced anymore and can't find a bugger anywhere..... Any advice would be good.
  21. I got a 2006 i-vtec type S ..... and .... she has been glorious, in 40000 miles I haven't even changed a tyre, rear and front brake pads swapped at about 40000, a thing to watch as they wear prematurely. Regularily get around the 40's to the gallon I shall be sad to se her go. The wagon is a real novelty you don't see many of em about, looks very nice.
  22. I might take your advice on the Falkens, I know "2k" I don't take her out nearly enough but has only done 9k from new and never seen a wet road. Trying to keep it that way.
  23. Ahoy Shipmates!!! I too am a six monther, bought the zed from Crystal Nissan is Lincoln in March, nothing to report as yet but only done 2k in her......oh except for the tread on my tyres seems to have mystriously disappeared for no apparent reason. Must admit though those Bridgies are pretty good, at that price they should be. Oh and the road tax, but that's not the cars fault... Mr Cameron to thank for that one.... wonder if tax comes from the word taxidermy ... proverbially getting stuffed....every orifice, bet the government are thinking about drilling a few more. Can't turn the gas boiler down any more and already replaced all the light bulbs with candles, my misses thinks it's very romantic sitting there in candle light with three sweaters on. PS. Still getting the same kick out of it, just great, nothing else really looks as good until you start spending mega bucks ....unbeatable.
