  1. 4th year of ownership this week and still makes me excited at the thought of driving her, even more so now as I've made it my own from humble beginnings. Still blown away and feel lucky to own such a motor. Often (if it get out the front door early enough) take the long route to work effectively doubling the commute distance, just to drive it more. Definitely one of those cars that begs a turn round when walking away and excitement on approach after a day at work. Ownership remains wonderful and a little treat every time you fire up the big VQ. Its a satisfying feeling the car exceeds my level of skills on the road/track, so speed wise I'm very comfortable with what's under the hood. Thoroughly enjoy maintaining and modifying. Really enjoy the club meets and show gatherings, plus the forum is truly a great place to spend time.

  2. I never knew you did the wrap yourselves!!! Blown away as it looked fully sick! Matching brands front and back was a smart move, plus it looks more pleasing to the eye You've learnt so much about body work prep and finish and it's clear to see.
  3. Which spring did you order, did you go for the Mustang one?
  4. Wow that's mega Justin, nooooo way do I have any hope of keeping up with you on an sprinted drive now!!! Bet the drive home was fun
  5. Stiffer.... I'd like mine lighter
  6. Other than insurance and tax, which can be the biggest expense with running a second car/beater. Edit - do you have your Leon on a multicar policy with the Nismo or stand alone and how do you utilise your NCB?
  7. Not a fan, next to a gorgeous F type this looks a dogs dinner imo.
  8. Rich @ RPM is recommended also @RichRPM
  9. What I find helpful is when a garage can quote for the repair, providing all goes well - then naturally go from there.
  10. I had reserved judgement till I saw it and love it, loose the Qashqai wheels in favour for some nice concave aftermarket ones and it'll make the car imo. Plus 12 sec 1/4 mile isn't too bad either.
  11. In the flesh, they're stunning imo. Saw a pair at C&M on Sunday and wow, I'd love one one day - not slow either.
  12. Might aswell buy new for that money @Katieallen
  13. I know, saw you pull in then of course in convoy in my rear view - then that was it huff Sadly not, checked my dashcam and I had a poxy 16gb card in there which is no good to man nor beast. Have on video half the journey there and all back only. I reckon next time back to C&M possibly for a drink on a Thurs/Fri evening might be nice. All meet there, as its done up nice after hours say 7/8pm.
  14. So before it's September already and before you know it Christmas shopping, big coats and boots with at the top of all our priorities! Today was something different for the club and nice to touch on Caffeine and Machine in strong numbers as we did - 20+ cars collectively. Caff & Mac is pretty much a full on car show all year round with so much going on, with different cars every time. I found it hard to catch up with everyone and see all our lovely Zeds let alone all the other cars on display. With numbers the Mids lot pull in, for a nice sit down meal it's impossible as we'd easily fill out C&M's restaurant. So il put it back to the members to poll which type of meet you'd like next, before the weather goes against us?
  15. You pair tore pass, sounding AMAZING by the way and I thought please go straight over, please go straight over - then you pair turned right doh!! Stunning weather *to start with Time to roll out!! Hatton pull over at the half way point, to check for any more casualties Then this on the way home huff
  16. Cheers John Been a lovely day, but boy I'm knackered lol Thank you everyone for coming, was nice to get the Zeds over to Caffeine and Machine for the first time!! Hope you all enjoyed.
  17. First roundabout, first pair of victims lol @14N @Andy_Muxlow
  18. Just ran a price check and lowest for this kit was £132.84, very good value for occasion driveway use I reckon.
  19. Different wheels and lowering springs would transform the car imo.
  20. ^ Nice one fella. All gassed ready for tomorrow #VPowerOnly
