  1. Just had a look through some posts from the guy I sold her to. It looks like she was pulled around, new body kits, coil overs, “sound system”, wheels blah blah blah.

     

    I fear she will no longer be the girl I knew 😔but that’s life! Should have never sold it.

  2. I can’t remember how it’s spelt 

     

    Damned, Dam’d, Damm’ed or any other potential way of spelling it. 
     

    I looked at replacing it when I owned it as the garage completely screwed it as they smashed it into the lift, I could not find it ANYWHERE!

  3. After years of getting rid of my old Z, I a) want to know where she is now b) find the owner, and try to buy her back!

     

    no car has ever made me smile as much as she did.

     

    it was a 2003 fair lady, after searching the reg when I owned it, nothing pops up in regards to MOT. So I’m thinking it’s either been written off, or moved to a private plate.

  4. I've just moved back from Florida mate. Convertibles are a no go in that heat, not only do you never actually use them because you want the AC on full whack, but they fade really really fast. I was drinking a Mustang GT, great car, decent gas mileage, sat around 20mpg and that's intermittent hooning, also, it's based on a US Gal so it's actually more than that if you convert to a IMP Gal.

     

    If you're out there for a long time, buy new, if not, buy used. The depreciation of new cars is worse out there than over here, and you can pick up a bargain if you get a couple of years old.

     

    If you really really want to have fun though, and you have a decent wedge, Corvette C7. You can get a bottom line for about $60K, and if you do come back to the UK, as long as you've been gone for 12 months and owned the car for 6... No import tax.

  5. As a few of the older lot may know I sold my Zed a year back as I relocated to the USA. However, now I'm back, and I want my girl! I miss her like crazy and genuinely can't think of a car I'd rather have :'(

    Anyone...!

  6. Hey bud,

     

    I can't remember the settings exactly, but the camera is set up by using the wire to the reverse lights as a sensor. It's in one of the "av in" page settings to allow r-camera interruption. Sorry I couldn't be more specific but it's been a while :p hope you're enjoying her mate? Done anything else to her since you bought her?

  7. I've got a story that involved a hill, poor handbrake, bonnet and my ex.....

     

    I will say no more

     

    Your ex kicked your bonnet which broke your handbrake resulting in you car rolling down a hill?

     

    I'm glad you worked it out!!!! I anger everytime I think of it

     

    :p

     

    My first thought was you broke your ex on the bonnet resulting in braking the handbrake and rolling down a hill :lol:

     

    Every man should trust his instinct

  8. Remember to include us in the mix when looking around for quotes. We're still signing up 40% of quotes offered - there won't be many in the industry that can say that.

     

    Also if I could just pick you up on this comment;

     

    I assume that the 40% write up rate you have quoted is the generic WUR for the whole of the new business quotations across the company, hopefully for your sake this is excluding the retained business. However, it is all good and well quoting statistics, but are they actually specific to the marque in question ie. members of 350Z-UK. What we need to know, is how many quotes you are writing up from the forum enquiries provided from here, including decline quotes due to your restrictions. You may well be writing up 8 quotes for Mr Bloggs on his £2500 Ford Focus with modified alloys, exhaust and air filter, yet the 12 high performance car enthusiasts, which is the category the members here fall into, that approach you for a quote aren't provided with a competitive policy price/cover.

     

    Once those statistics are ascertained, you can then provide forum members with an unbiased picture towards the benefits of approaching you for a quotation.

     

    Cheers.

  9. Take care of her mate, and post pictures up all the time so I can see she's settling in well :p

     

    Remeber what I said, anytime you want rid of her let me know. Enjoy your time on the forum, its full of people in the know, any issues there will be someone here that can fix it.

     

    Take care.

     

    PS DON'T CHANGE HER NAME!

  10. So, she's sold to a fellow member! Now you guys have to promise me, if you see her for sale on here again, to hunt me down and let me know. I actually cried when I walked away from her :(.

     

    See you all around, it's been an amazing few months.

     

    Av8er over and out!
