Wendy and all,

This is fine with me,

Wendy I'm sure you can make time to clean mine as well ! And looking forward to an update.

Look forward to seeing you all around 09:00

Wendy,

As it's your neck of the woods, 9:00 - 9:30 but do we stick with Frankie & Bennie or Oxford services?

It looks like I am giving up on tyres being here in time so I will come down as is (mismatched tyres 3 brands and none very good!)

See you all about 9:00

this could be the shortest convoy in history - just two cars :lol:

As long as you have reported it and got a crime ref no. and make a note of the time reported you cant be held responsible for anything that happens as a result, it only becomes a potential problem if someone puts it on an identical looking car.

Agree with Ekona, reporting it to insurance is an unnecessary step - it would never be worth claiming.

Alex ^^ is what i have ordered.

Seem good prices, just got to wait for delivery then get them fitted and a full Geo.

Mike,

do some searching but tyreleader seems to be cheapest at the moment for MPSS

Zeppo,

A bit late now but i just checked them and MPSS are £644.76 for the 19's so i will just have to console myself with an £80 saving and wait until next year

Could be a good call for the op though!

I have just spent half of today searching for tyres, Black Circles, Camskill, MyTyres, ETS, AA, ASDA, the list goes on

Not one of them could quote for a full set for the 370, some had fronts and some rears and prices varied wildly

In the end i have ordered Vredstein Vortis from Openeo for £568.00 for the set as they too were unable to quote a full set of MPSS

Hoping these are as good as reports and reviews say - i will have to wait until next week to find out

Looks like i will be driving down to Ace Cafe with mixed fronts ( one barely legal ) and ditch finders on the rear :scare:

I hope it doesn't rain too much or i risk being overtaken by everything else on the road

Vreds if you dare to risk the wrath of Dan !

Once I've confirmed tyre situation I will confirm this but 9:30 @ Banbury sounds good.

Hi,

As Nic is going M1 I thought it might be worth a separate thread...

Are people going via M40 getting together and convoying?

I'm hoping to get new tyres fitted today otherwise it will have to be Saturday first thing but if poss I am happy to meet up.

So if someone wants to suggest a time and location I will do my best to be there otherwise see you all @ Ace Cafe.

Welcome,

Enjoy the z and hopefully see you around.

Yes, wrapped, coilovers, cobra exhaust, sports cats, new clutch etc. Spent over £5k in three years someone will get a bargain.

Chris,

Always knew if it was possible you would be instrumental in making it happen

Andy,

It is amazing that, having seen the damage pics, this doesn't look so bad when stripped, just watch out for Chris and his angle grinder!

Good luck with the bionic rebuild.

Mrs B

Just be careful, not sure zeditis can be cured by simply selling the z and buster had it worse than most.

Looking forward to seeing your build thread and how all those spare parts look on yours!

I think I "need" a set of these if you still have stock

We gonna see it launch this side of Christmas?

Don't you mean which Christmas are we gonna see it launch?

Hi Rob looks a nice purchase you have made there and nice to to see you stuck with the roadster they are just great when the suns out some might say you can feel the little extra weight bud the experence is to savour

 

p.s but as I said before Iam baist to words the roadster Ha Ha

 

any way enjoy the new zed the exhaust I would think bring the experience alive

Thanks Nick,

Actually I am getting used to the sound track of the 370, but fear Invidia is still calling

Cheers Rob

 

Hi Rob, only done 250 miles in mine since Wednesday but am inclined to agree about exhaust, it's rapidly going further down my list of "improvements" as I'm getting used to the relative quietness !!

Glad you are still enjoying it.

We don't need to know why someone has been banned or suspended.

Some of us are just nosey and don't like to think we are out of the loop.

However, a valid point was raised about what if you are in the middle of a trade, therefore, there is a valid reason to post "person x has been banned or suspended for"y" weeks". I am fairly sure something along these lines was in fact posted when a trader was recently suspended for a while. Anything additional to this is unnecessary and irrelevant.

so now Bob has put his 350 up for sale i guess you have already started suffering 350 mod withdrawal - something for you to practice your hole cutting skills on

solution for you Chris, as you have made two spaces why not two different lifts - best of both worlds :lol:

Chris, there is only one word for it ....insane :lol:

Not sure if that describes the sheer size of this "garage" which looks like it could house my home AND your cars

or if it describes the amazing work rate - when you get going there appears nothing to stop you - great work

I never thought I would see the day you and the ginger would part company!!!!

Hope you don't sell before 10th Oct -unless you plan on turning up at Ace Cafe in "the project" - makes me wonder what the project will be!

Or are you going to build a new z from all the bits you and Chris have accumulated?

Really been trying to find a good reason not to go for a 2.5 hrs drive to London for breakfast.... have given up trying as I'm not working that weekend and any excuse to go for a drive in my new (to me)(rather quiet) 370

Rob,

I agree about the exhaust noise , Even when the sales guy went to get fuel in it before test drive Karen said the exhaust was too quiet but decent rubber on each corner comes first exhaust will have to wait until next year.

Wendy, I think the car is platinum grey, look it up yourself cos both Karen and I think it's a mile away from grey or silver!
