I'm in denial. E-friends are just as valid as real ones.

When I was a youth, we went karting most weekends and got friendly with the marshals after a while. Usually when it rained on the outdoor track they closed it down, but as they knew we weren't bellends they'd let us go out. They were only little twin engine beasts but in Scottish rain, with slick, cold tyres, I learned for the first time that the wet makes a big difference! Had twice as much fun at half the speed. It was quite a good lesson as my driving instructor at 17 never really talked about it in all the hours of learning. The wet still cares me though, not cos of the Zed or it's tyres, but because I see so many people not make a single allowance in their driving style, whether it's bone dry A road or standing water on the motorway with 50 foot visibility!

good luck with your search

Ferraris were designed for the homersexual male, they are too high pitched, they break down at the smallest thing, and they like big powerful things in the rear The California is beautiful. If that makes me a homo, then I can live with that. I'm not taking though...

It'd be a bastard to keep clean, but with all those angles the radar signature is probably low enough to go through speed traps undetected! Not pretty. All they had to do was keep updating the Diablo...

My name is Stu, the tax disc holder is how I got hooked too. I've been on "it" only 3 months now. It starts off cheap, or maybe even free, just a small amount here and there, I told myself I could give up at any time. Then you notice the gear shift gaiter is a bit worn, so is the gear knob actually, the plastic trim has some scratches too, the front grille is a bit tired... Now I'm all, "That front lip is nice, I'd need it colour matched mind, also, but it'd look odd on its own, better draw up a list..."

This was from last year I think, aka the ' Predator ' WOW "The jungle...it just came alive and took him" Incredible work.

Drivers Interior Door Handle/Window Switch Trim Scratches
Stutopia replied to Jp606's topic in 350Z General
I'm a total mechanical spanner (not in a good way) took me about 5 minutes to get out with zero damage to adjoining bits. I plastidipped mine after a clean, no good, finish isn't robust enough. Black satin next time. As others have said, I was well pleased with myself when I did just this little tiny job. I'm hoping its the first step to learning more and having a more personal touch to my car. I chopped up my speaker grilles shortly after, pleased with that too. If you give it a try and it goes bad, you can still buy another, assuming you don't destroy the door! GL. +1 on trim removers, much better than improvising and dirt cheap, useful for all sorts.

I like the look of your nuts BBK, how tight are they? I've got a torque wrench but no clue what to set it to? -

Nice job, looks stunning all round. -
Lower than a snakes b0((0cks. Is there nothing corrosive to skin you can paint them in, then just wear gloves when you check pressures?

Nah, not really. Most people have gone for 3x exclusive hardcore two seaters, which means that either two aren't going to get used because they'll have a favourite or they'll be getting lifts everywhere because they've got three cars that can't even handle the run to Tesco and back Tesco do delivery and if money no object would you shop there Money no object I'd probably shun Tesco and have a crack team of highly trained and intelligent early twenties cheerleaders (all wearing quasi-futuristic semi-revealing outfits designed by Pininfarina) handworking the land of my Colombian estate to provide the finest wines, organic meats and fresh veg known to man. All marshalled by Monica Bellucci dressed daily in towering heels, a fresh new simple black pencil skirt and a loosely tied fine white silk blouse, driving an early Lamborghini tractor barking at them in Italian.

What about BA11 BAG?

He hasn't managed English in 28 years...

Ha! I was considering that one the other day, great minds and all that! I finally decided I'd prefer one that "hides" the age of my Zed as I think it's style and condition belies it's years.

+1 on the supers, got mine at the weekend, well pleased. £732 for all 4 on, don't know if that's a great price but I'm beacoup happy.

Whilst I understand some of your feelings. I would also like to disagree with your deepest pocket idea. Premiership big spenders to buy titles will only get you so far before you need a quality manager to create a dynasty. Chelsea over a billion to date spent 3 titles, never 3 on the trot. Man city £930,000,000 1 title. Mmmmm. Lets think about that one!!! Man U not even close £430,000,000. 13 titles. Yes some players didn't make the grade, but they were given a chance on the biggest stage. They didn't make it elsewhere either, although Forlan did quite well. This Manager deserves respect. I remember the famous quote from a so called hack "You'll never win anything with kids" arguably the best team of the ones SAF build and in real terms, cost next to nothing and they took the league apart with entertaining, attacking football. If you want to know who spent the most cash? Blackburn one point 3 billion. 1 Title and the bankruptcy of their backers. Case rested. Fair point, and I agree, but what I was driving at is they were the big spenders pre-Abramovich when most of the titles rolled in, they were thinner on the ground when the money was elsewhere. He did have a golden generation too, how much of that was him and not thier youth scouts I personally don't know. Hansen talks a lot, says not much, and what he does say is usually golf club chit chat with Lineker, he makes Gary Neville seem like Brian Clough.

Excellent policy on convertibles. The lyonheart made some spudwater spill out. Beautiful.

Movies got me into cars, so I am only going for my favourite movie cars, as otherwise there is too much choice. In no particular order: Connery's Aston Martin DB5 primarily from Goldfinger McQueen's '67 Mustang from Bullitt Connery's Toyota 2000GT custom convertible from You Only Live Twice. I just realised they're all old! If I could have one more in reserve, it would be the Enzo Ferrari or possibly a DeLorean.

He deserves respect for the trophy haul, I won't be shedding any tears when he's gone mind. I also won't miss the sycophantic hacks banging on about the "mind games" either. I don't think moaning about 50/50 decisions for days after/before a match is mind games. He was also suspiciously quiet on the darkest day in English football, The Pedro Mendes Debacle (not that I'm STILL bitter about that particular contrived piece of fawning linesmanship). People forget that he's also signed some total shaffle: Taibi, van Der Gouw, Bellion, Djemba-Djemba, Bosnich, Kleberson, Nani, Cruyff, Forlan, Anderson, Fortune, May, I'm sure there are more but I can't be bothered to google. Many of his decent signings have been big money players anyone could have identified, Ronaldo, Nistlehorse, Berbatov, Van Persie, Stam, Carrick, Vidic, Ferdinand, again I'm sure there are more. His strop with the Irish fellas about a load of horse jizz has assisted the Glazers in pumping millions out of the club at the same time as mortgaging it up to it's eyeballs. I begrudgingly admit he's done an impressive job, even considering that for many of his years Utd had the deepest pockets in English football (the pre-Abramovich era) - when all of a sudden it became shameful to have loads of cash to spend on players and there was "no value" to be had in the market.

Good luck, always impressed by someone who can build up a business for themself, looking forward to browsing for goodies. Hope it goes very well.

TBH I didn't ask, I just liked the look on the sample wheel next to my Zed and said I'll have that. On the facebook page it's described as chrome effect.
-
I'd have gone blue if the rest of my Zed could have supported them, she needs to be a bit more busy on the outside to pull off wheels like that. Who knows what could happen when I get around to the exterior jobs??? Thanks all for +ve feedback!
