What makes you say that?

Unless the law is screwing one side?

Aye, the 'austerity' policy cracks me up. Every street up here is being resurfaced. Our estate where we drive at 10mph has just had a Silverstone level blacktop put down. On the footpaths too. But they cut the hell out of the police, prisons, education and hospitals? Almost like Mr Tarmac has friends in high (coke head leaders) places. If they shut down peoples jobs then it should be spread across everyone but there has been no announcement how they'll pay. Apart from giving grants to companies that will go direct to the landlords

Vat and Council tax yes, but the charade of Government paying and deducting in one go is hardly comparable to taxing a person's actual earnings? Always seemed like a paper exercise to me.

As a kid I always liked to measure my glass against my brother's... And so did he. Given that all the people I listed don't actually pay tax (apart from vat) it seems harsh that they don't get a haircut too?

So everyone furloughed gets a 20 percent cut. Everyone self-employed gets a 20 percent cut. Well, not everyone of them. Why isn't everyone getting a 20 percent cut? Civil service, MPs, ex MPs pensions, Lords pay, BBC staff who put fancy CV news trailers with ominous music over them... Cops, army, courts... Landlords. Interest payments. And the furloughed money hasn't appeared yet.

We're all going to be either super fit from all the jogging we have to do .. Or we'll all have super clean crazy fast Zeds.

Stay strong. Its easier the second time you put it on.. Still a pain

Any jammy sods got furloughed?

370s are under 10k now.... (Sorry)

Ah, yeah, true enough for the HR, they only had them for a year or two.

Its difficult to be patient when you're about to grab a big V6 but remember there are lots of them out there. I looked at a few before pulling the trigger and was glad I did. ..

Primera SRi hatchback was my ride for a few years. Then a S14a for about 8 years. Zed is in the garage and only comes out for sprinting now. Got some cheap diesel Hondas for day to day stuff. The SUV drives quicker around town and the suburbs than the fast Nissans ever did. Strange.

Hard Drivin' What a game that was. It even had a clutch...

I had that with a collapsed cat. Might not be but worth a check

That's a lot of stuff at once... Ouch on the wallet. I've always gone to SlideMotorsport, South Yorks but Jap guys.

Blyton Park is the nearest track, you can usually get good value days there in winter, especially if you go midweek. Great place to give it hammer without much chance of hitting anything or ending up in gravel.

The season is over now. I'll be back at it in late March. Going out of my tree with boredom till then... Get yourself along for a gander next year, it's a nice afternoon out..

Ah, thinking about it, mine is the revup and the belt is trapped. It had to be fitted before the SC went on. I've already burned and chiseled the hands enough to fit down to the tensioner.. Never thought of trimming the shroud.

Jeepers, good news if so. What's the rigmarole like for swapping the main belt? Is it SC off? I had a look at doing mine recently and gave up..

Ta, I threw away 3rd place tbh. Its a tough school, lose a few tenths and you get passed.

Another year gone and woo hoo ... The old Zed has got a top 5 in the championship. It should have been a podium but things conspired against us. Last year's best was 63.73. Every event this year was either too cold, too curtailed or too hot... It was really messy. Sensors failed and brakes failed. I mowed down some trees. But in the end the mods were Extreme R5 compound tyres, big width fronts, Japspeed sports cats and loads of stickers which got it down to 62.91. (DQ'd for minor track limits,cough). She's absolutely flying right now. I should probably sort out the handling for next year.

Just be careful with the helmet life if you are thinking of Motorsport. Nothing worse than spending a lot on a good one and it runs out after a couple of years. I had to replace mine this year because of the date. Left with a perfectly good 300 quid helmet that won't pass scrutineering ..

why would anyone be so offended by that car.? Its well done and fresh colours. Hardly a travesty.

They're cheap. Do it. Primera is cool but RWD ....
