  1. Welcome, Enjoy the Z Got to say if your girlfriend persuaded you to get a Z she should definately rate higher than a Capri in your love stakes!
  2. Horus, In the short term, having the correct amount of oil must be far more important than anything, but I agree with others, if you arn't sure of the history get a mini service asap, just bought my latest car with full history and service stamped 1,500 miles ago- first thing I did was oil and filter change. Bradders, I can't believe that smokescreen of yours is still going!

    Oh Dear....

    Not to sure about the colour or the "5" but otherwise I kind of like this but it will be miles out of my reach.
  4. All, thanks for the meet up and convoy in, hope everyone had a good day, I think there are enough of us in the Midlands for a nice little spring drive - who wants to put something together?
  5. Thanks for the 370 badges, They look good. I was hoping to get them on for Ace Cafe but not looking likely
  6. Has Chris not still got his trailer if you wanted to transport the car to your mates? I don't blame you rebuilding, you have put your heart and soul into her.
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. this could be the shortest convoy in history - just two cars :lol:
  10. 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.
  11. Items ordered: Vredestein Ultrac Vorti 245/40 R19 98 Y XL Price per pc. incl.VAT: 127 £ Quantity: 2 Total price (with VAT): 254 £ Vredestein Ultrac Vorti 275/35 R19 100 Y XL Price per pc. incl.VAT: 157 £ Quantity: 2 Total price (with VAT): 314 £ 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
  12. 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!
  13. 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
  14. Vreds if you dare to risk the wrath of Dan !
  15. Once I've confirmed tyre situation I will confirm this but 9:30 @ Banbury sounds good.
  16. 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.
  17. Welcome, Enjoy the z and hopefully see you around.
  18. Yes, wrapped, coilovers, cobra exhaust, sports cats, new clutch etc. Spent over £5k in three years someone will get a bargain.
  19. 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.
  20. 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!
  21. I think I "need" a set of these if you still have stock
  22. Don't you mean which Christmas are we gonna see it launch?
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
