  1. haha no it was about half an hour ago, about 12:30 in the afternoon

     

    It was definately a wave, did not look anything like the guy who gave me the ****er sign because he was crossing the road and had to stop in his path because cars were coming and i was one of them :)

     

    Haha I was only messing pal :)

     

    I never get a wave or anything from fellow owners!

     

    I let a silver Zed pull out the other day and didnt even get a thanks... Bastards.

     

    I know, this why i posted about it, because i see so many posts on here about ignorant Zed drivers, so had to share the fact there are some out there which recognise the car is admired by many :)

  3. So just driving along Weymouth seafront, and i see a Silver 07 Zed pull out in front of me, so i gave a beep and a flash, and she gave a wave :)

     

    So it ended up being 2 350z cruising up the rest of the seafront :)

     

    Nice to see other owners even if they are not part of a club, acknowledge other admirors of the car :)

  4. so i was flicking through the little comp thing, where you can do lap timers, have your speed, temp etc and came across a option where it says RPM and you can select different numbers, of course i know what RPM means, but what does this actually do?

  5. the attention my zed brings is astonishing, i get all sorts, some attention even makes me feel on edge, like down and outs staring at it, like they are going to plan to find it and rob it, im a very paranoid fellow.

     

    But love picking my son up, his school is right by a secondary school, the hoards of children who have grabbed thier camera phones out thier pocket before i pull out a junction for a quick pic is cool :)

     

    Regarding older people, this is something i have not experienced in any other car, the amount of respectful looks i get from older men is brilliant, even had the thumbs up from a few, bikers also have sometimes given me a nod.

     

    And this is all before im getting the car professionaly detailed and polished/waxed, god knows what its going to be like when that work is done!

  6. Forum discount for the e-liquids? :D

     

    Are they the ones in orange and grey box? If they are you may have a little trouble coming to you soon about the lack of info on the packaging. Council shut my local e-cig shop down because of it until he sourced different liquids which meet the requirements.

     

    Yeh they are hot on it, alot of vendors out there just sell a bottle with flavour on it, but all our bottles come with all the warning logos, instructions of what to do if swallowed, ingredients AND a tactile warning for the blind also, i been checked twice so far, and been pukka both times. All our liquids come direct from Hangsen and have the certificates with each delivery of all safety passed :). Cowboys out there ordering bulk from china then reselling for some easy money, will get caught in the end

  7. Good story and thanks for sharing lol ... on a serious note, have you checked with your local planning authority and insurers about running a business from your home ? ... if your neighbours are out to get you that could be their next step

     

    When the company started getting big, yes i looked into it all, insurance i have with public liability which covers home run businesses :)

  8. Good story..just jealous, Dean. :evil:

     

    I mean to be fair, we have a couple of elderly neighbours, so i cant blame them really.

    They dont see me leave for work or come home from work, because i work from home, so must wonder how i support or all i have, and i would probably be the same if i saw this in my area.

  9. I run my own business selling electronic cigarettes, accessories and e-liquid. Ive recently moved in the past 6 months, not town, just to a different part of town, buying house etc :)

     

    Anyway, i have alot of offline customers, who buy thier e-cig goods straight from me, they just come and knock on the door and shop.

    So last week i had a knock at the door, 2 policemen were stood there, and one man in a suit, had a prelimanary warrant to search my house for drugs haha, so of course i let them in and let them free to do what they want.

     

    One cop stayed with me while the others searched, he said we have had worrys, reports from neighbours who are suspicous of my activity, because within few months of moving here i appear with this really sexy looking sports car all of a sudden (the Zed of course) and as we all know, with subtle mods they look like they are worth alot more than they actually worth. With that and the fact the neighbours have seen numerous characters enter my house and leave with asda or tesco bag full of "unknown goods".

     

    Needless to say, when i explained the situation, and shown them the business and the website and all my stock, the cops ended up sat on my sofa with a coffee having a right old laugh over the whole situation.

     

    They were not allowed to tell me which neighbours it was, but said they will notify them of the "LEGAL" activity going on with the explanation of a sexy sports car appearing overnight haha.

     

    Sorry if this bored any of you, but since the Zed was involved in this suspicious activity i thought id share this for a little afternoon laugh :)

  10. wow

    Recently, airport car parks, and always next to something more expensive.

     

    good idea, i tried that at the supermarket though, i parked next to a M5 convertible 2012 model, but when i got back, found myself then parked to a 1000 year old Corolla :(

     

    wow ive never seen an m5 convertible ;)

     

    im not good with bmw's haha, let me do some googling and ill edit this post with what it was haha

     

    EDIT: it was one of these M3 Convertible, they all look the same to me, one reason i dont like BMW's

  11. One thing, that always worrys me, is when car is parked up overnight and waking up to find it damaged, how many of you leave it on the road? in a garage? on a driveway? etc

     

    and is your area known for being rough, do you worry etc?

     

    Even better a pic of where its parked, i want to get a general idea :)
