That's not a bad price at all considering the bike, your age and experience etc. I admire your perserverance waiting on hold for over 40 mins! Their hold music must be good......

Ride safe mate How did you get on with the insurance in the end?

Bootiful

Fancy doing it again and taking some pics?

I recently added/declared an exhaust, front splitter and aftermarket wheels and it cost £19.

A lot of forum members are getting good results from Admiral ATM. I'm insured with them too and I'm almost looking forward to see what my renewal quote is in a couple of months. Almost....

Congratulations on your new purchase, your search is complete Let the Zeditis commence....

Brilliant

Here's a thought, with this forum being a really helpful resource for Zed owners et all.. Why don't we collate and compile a list of experienced drivers/members, with clean licences and claim history? Then we can add one or more of the aforementioned members as 'additional drivers' to our policies when renewal time comes to reduce our premiums. As I said. just a thought......

+1 on all the points above Pictures really don't do spacers justice. I fitted 20/25mm to my standard (non Rays) 18's and wished I'd done it months earlier. And as I said in your other post Niki - looks cool

Lets see how many cheesy phrases we can come up with from wheeler dealer! 1) well done that man! 2) That's not the same car

It's a him Looking cool Niki

That wasn't the one they fitted a new brake set up to and then put those 'lovely signed' stripes on was it?

Expiry date of 13/04/2013 on the previous MOT? And your daily car? That's brave! Good result though

I guess at the end of the day, it's television. It can be edited or broadcast in whatever way they want you (the viewer) to see it. It's not a factual documentary or fly on the wall reality like Corrie, Eastenders or TOWIE. As the dude from Sky said (Sorry, don't know your name mate), as long as it's all taken with a pinch of salt, it's fine. I do think that Wheeler Dealers (certainly Edd China) has given DIY mechanics more confidence to tackle jobs themselves. I just found last night's episode more frustrating than usual for the reasons above. It seemed that the continuity team took the day off when the episode was filmed (and from the lack of change in Mike's clothes - it WAS all fimed in a day)!

I've had good results with Admiral. Recently added/declared my exhaust, splitter, pop charger and wheels and it cost £19. I've seen others on here have had good quotes and premiums. Must admit there was a slight language barrier on my last call though and he really hadn't got a clue what a front splitter was.

I would love to know the 'truth' behind the scenes of these programs. I often wonder if deals are 'accepted' for the sake of the show? i.e. Seller want say £7k for a car, Mike knocks him down to £6k "cos he's a wheeler dealer" and vigorously shakes the sellers hand, but has a different price been agreed and edited out? Stuff like that. We'll never know...... It is addictive viewing though.

You've just made me LOL in the office - now everyone is looking at me and I'm still giggling like a girl

AAAAAARGH!!!!!!! Is anyone else massively frustrated with this series already? The list could go on and on, and probably will, but I'll make a start. Finds dealer mate (that has also previously featured in Brewer's other series called Auto Trader as a convicted car mileage 'clocker;) with a Triumph Spitfire. It needs new foam in the seats. Brewer does deal, finds new seat foam on the internet, orders it, it arrives and is fitted - all in the same day? (He's wearing the same clothes). Fits freshly painted gloss black wheels to the Land Rover - and uses the rusty/corroded wheel nuts which are now further highlighted by the fresh gloss paint. Constantly talking about costs and profit etc in Dollars (appreciate the program was probably originally made for a US audience), but it's annoying. Hindustan Ambassador - Imporrted to UK with Indian plates (obviously), then Brewer is seen test driving it on UK plates, then, supposedly 'later on' after advertising it and the buyers arrive, it's back on Indian plates. End of episode, when he drives his final purchase to show his dealer mate that he got the Spitfire from at the start of the episode, to say goodbye before he leaves the country, they're both wearing the same clothes as the start of the episode. Rant over, however I feel not finished....

I spotted one on eBay yesterday. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69827-nismo-style-front-splitter/

FACT!

Sorry, can't post link as on my phone. Nismo style front splitter, only fitted for a couple of weeks. eBay item number 151024884481 £70 (or best offer) plus P&P Good saving over new for someone

I find the commentators on Eurosport far more knowledgeable than BBC. That Aussie Cox says 'nightmare in a bubble cart' and 'shot the fox' EVERY damn race. Still watch it on BBC tho as its live. I'm too impatient to watch it (MotoGP) on sky.

IT'S BEEN MODIFIED!!! Someone's fitted a stubby aerial Looks nice
