I never saw the original calendar post, so just wondering if there are any rules for the photo's and what could be submitted? Had an amazing idea for a picture, so when i get back from offshore this week my mate is gonna turn photographer.... Just need to know if i can be in the pic with my car, or is it car only?

Recaro make stock seats for some Vauxhalls, instant chav factor

Whatever happens, i will not let my car look anything remotely like a Vauxhall!! Think my mind is made up, gonna get the seats re-upholstered, found a place in Nottingham that does it, but if anyone can recommend anyone in the east midlands area for that i'd also be grateful!

Turbo-G, maybe not a good idea to get these seats incase i have a 'does my bum look big in this' day!!! :lol:

Mate it's your car if you like it put them on , if you want to covery you car in pink glitter crack on, don't worry about what other people think you're the one that's got to live with it!

Pink Gltter.... Now theres an idea!!

It is possible to fit 4 x 19" Finichi Firenze alloys (complete with tyres) in a 350z! And thats without removing the spare!

 

But i didn't put them in myself, i just watched them being loaded up!!

All depends on the width of the wheel I guess, I had to remove the spare when transporting my 19" Volks, fronts on passenger seat and rears in the back

At the risk of sounding totally girly, they were big fat ones!!

i'm a 27yr old female, 56 plate 350z, 8yrs no claims and i pay just over £500 a year, but have added my mum and my boyfriend to the policy to bring down costs, which helped loads!! I use diamond at the moment (part of the admiral group) but next time i'll renew through compare the market so i can get a meerkat toy....

 

Sorry I stopped reading after 'boyfriend'

 

Lol.

 

:lol: Just seen this!!!

Oooh, Might have to have a go at covering mine then! Might stick to the ones i've got and do that instead

And i don't have electric seats either, just normal ones

Keyser, did you get yours custom made in that colour? I have a black zed, and want to go for an orange/black colour scheme, but trying to find back and orange seats are a nightmare!! I will have to shop about and see what i find comfortable... I've never had a problem with bad seats in any of my cars until i started driving the other halfs BMW 1 series, thats sciatica waiting to happen everytime i go out in it!!

Has anybody got the Recaro 'Speed' seats in their Zed, and if so how do you rate them for comfort?

Interested in getting a pair of them, but reluctant to splash out over a grand on them if they ain't all that!!

If there are any other cheaper sports seats on the market that are just as good, let me know too, as i'm pretty cluless on this subject!

Cheers

So tonights teabreak topic at work was all about the old schooldays, more specifically using sawdust to soak up piles of puke and also loo roll that would have been better suited to a life as tracing paper....

i don't remember any of this from my school days, maybe i'm a bit young, or maybe it is just because i'm English and the the guys i work with are all Scottish!

Anyway, what really random things do you remember about your schooldays that would not happen nowadays? Seeing as there is a divide of nationalities on here it'd be interesting to see what differences there are!

Everyone loves a good old reminiscing session

When the do it roundabouts annoys me the most. Cars have that little 3 flash thing so it's even easier to indicate yet most don't. Audi drivers are the worst though.

No, i definitely think BMW drivers have cornered the market on this one... They are by far the worst at indicating. But then again it may just be a german car thing.

Totally gets my goat when others don't indicate....Unless of course its me who occassionally forgets, but then i expect everybody to know what i'm doing and get out of my way. I'm a girl, its my prerogative

I know its not a Zed, but saw a black Skyline on the High Street in Lincoln ****SKY. Slowed down to give a thumbs up and got a nod back! Worth holding up the traffic for

These wheels are currently sat in my dining room, so ner ner!!

Seriously impressed with them

haha,, when i picked up my new Zed it had a twist in the drivers side seatbelt, can't believe someone had drove around like that!! More fool them!

Yeah Marathon have now changed the contract so that we fly S92's as of next year, although this was decided before this ditching...

The pilots are spot on in these situations, they cannot be praised enough. It'd be good to see all the helicopters being upgraded to S92's or something, but its a costly process I imagine!

I think I'll take up open water swimming just in case! The helicopter steering group had an emergency meeting today, wonder what'll come out of that. Appreciate that if you take into account the flying hours, it is still safer than driving, but its still not a nice thought....

Not sure how many offshore types are on here, but i for one am not liking the news about the helicopter ditching. The AAIB have released a bulletin with initial findings, identical issues to the last ditching. Its bought it home a bit more as i fly with CHC, the owner of this helicopter, and have flown on their EC225's, i may have even flown on that chopper.... My hat comes off to the pilots though, another safe ditching... I wonder what will come out of the investigation this time? Any opinions?

Probably the most awesome black 'stealth' 350Z ever ... I give you .......

Hmmm.... Posted this last night but it disappeared.... Now it has reappeared.... Sorry for duplicate!! Oopsie!

Spotted a silver 57 plate roadster uphill in the bailgate in Lincoln last night about 8.30pm, only the 2nd one I've seen in Lincoln! Was on foot (and slightly inebriated) so didn't wave for fear of looking daft!

Spotted a silver 350z roadster 57 plate uphill in Bailgate Lincoln tonight (17/10/12) at approx 8.30pm :-)
