  1. Now with another brand new tyre as one of the new ones picked up a nail!!
  2. It's surely only a matter of time! I'm eyeing up a 675 Daytona for next year, essentially a faired striple and that was an incredible bike to ride I thought.
  3. Congratulations tom, any idea what bike you're going to buy?
  4. It's worse than that, if they cancelled your premium and you injured another party you could be liable for hundreds of thousands in damages. I declare all mods and rarely find it makes any difference to the premium, one insurer actually dropped the price when I declared mods!
  5. Agree, going too low would make them question your ability but you want to make sure you offer a big enough incentive to guarantee the switch.
  6. I have a 450D and agree the ISO performance is pretty poor. When I compared it to a similarly priced Nikon a few years ago (think it might have been the D90) the Nikon was streets ahead. That said, I agree with the others about finding a way to reduce your need for high ISO settings.
  7. Def. the merc, as others have said the new Mercedes models look great inside and out, their styling department is really on a roll recently.
  8. Thanks, I've had that email account for about 20 years so I doubt there's a spam list I'm not on!
  9. Hi all, With the impending arrival of my first child in early December it is unfortunately time for my zed to move on to a new owner. The car is a very good condition grey 2008 350Z 313 GT on a '57 plate with 36,000 miles on the clock. It has all the usual GT spec, heated leather seats, bluetooth, rays alloys, etc. I've not been able to take any decent pictures of the car yet as the weather has been awful however, the following link is the original ad from when I bought the car last year (Mods I hope this isn't a breach of any rules, I'm not attempting to advertise for this company!) http://www.sutherlan...dr-low-mileage/ Since these pictures were taken I've added Eibach spacers, a stubby aerial and a Pioneer appradio, all of which can be returned to standard if required by the purchaser. Additionally, the car has recently benefitted from brand new brake discs and pads all round (less than 100 miles ago), goodyear eagle F1 rear tyres, service and MOT (all within the last 500 miles) at a cost to me in the region of £1000. The bodywork is generally in very good condition, there are one or two stone chips on the front wheel arches and some light scratching (only lacquer deep) around the drivers door handle. The interior is also in excellent condition but suffers from the seemingly very common scratch marks to the door handles and cubby door. I'm asking £9,500 which, I believe is a fair price for a nice condition, very well maintained and low mileage zed. Jon Edit: Still no opportunity to take photos yet but here's one from a few months ago when the weather was nicer with the spacers fitted. Edit: Still not had chance to clean the car but have managed to take a couple of pictures today:
  10. Hello cougar store , I bought some Eibach spacers from you several months ago for my 350Z and all has been well until I recently when I had new brake discs and pads all round. Unfortunately, the nuts appear to have seized and several were completely mangled while they were being removed as they seem to be quite soft. Can you please tell me if it is possible to get new nuts for these spacers? If so, how much are they please? At present, I'm stuck with spacers on the rear and not on the front Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Jon
  11. Congratulations as a first bike you can't go wrong with a honda cbr600 f, comfy and quick enough. Can pick up a nice one for 1500 quid. I tested a 2011 yesterday and I'm afraid I really didn't like it. It felt lacking in torque at low revs to me which, made me feel like I had to rev the nuts off it and this in turn made me feel nervous and didn't inspire me with confidence. Incidentally, you lot on here seem a lot nicer than some of the idiots on Pistonheads, what do I say that invites people to comment on my personality rather than the bikes???? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=74&t=1443880&i=999999&nmt=What%20bike%20thread%20-%20sort%20of
  12. Here's Tonk helping me clean the wife's car today.
  13. Pleased to say I passed mod 2 this morning. I look forward to joining you all out on the roads when I've bought myself a bike!
  14. Congrats! Any tips for the mod 1? I've got mine in a few weeks Try to relax, remember your life savers and that the bike goes where you look. Also take a wide line on the figure of eight. I think the examiners generally are nice people who actually want you to pass so don't be nervous of them.
  15. Well I passed the mod 1 at the second attempt on Thursday despite riding generally worse for the duration of the test. Just mod 2 to go now before I can go and test ride a few bikes and finally make up my mind what to get!
  16. Did you book an appointment or just walk in?
  17. My mint low miles e46 m3 coupe, only sold as I was changing jobs and thought I would need the money. Could and should have held on to it!
  18. Are the interior door handles / window switch covers the same on all zeds? Would the covers from a 2003 JDM fit my 2008 UK HR for example?
