Proper detailed wash and a pre-winter polish and protection. Even the wheels came off for a thorough scrub up of their insides.

Didn't miss much, see above!

Afraid not, not a big turn out, possibly due to a couple of other proper shows not too far away. The main parking area had been blocked off as well, due to a dispute between the club organiser and the landlord of the small industrial estate where it's held.

It was, but all others welcome as usual.

But then I take a look at my RAYS and think why change?

I've been umming and ahhing about replacing the standard RAYS, which really are stunning wheels, but I just fancy something different. My current faves are JR5s, shown here on another V2 Nismo. I'm thinking bronze as that seems to work well with most body colours.

Looks stunning, reasonably priced as well.

Tomorrow then Olly?

Next meet, tomorrow, 10th September. Going to be a scorcher! Get there for 10:00.

Welcome along, looks stunning in red!

Please do, we all love a photo or three!

Welcome along to Z ownership. That looks like a very tidy example.

I want those wheels!!

Sitting on the bench in the sun right now, cool summer toons in the background, enjoying the view 😁

"This measure effectively removes Band A under the graduated VED system (for cars registered on or after 01/03/01 and before 01/04/17 with a CO2 emissions). As the Band A rate is currently £0, these vehicles will be required to move to the first band where a rate becomes payable – in this case Band B." Unless I'm getting confuzzed here (likely), the above suggests that our 2015/2016 C1 and Aygo will become payable.

So our two runabouts, a 2015 C1 and a 2016 Aygo (currently zero VED) will be zero no more?

I've been pointed on the direction of this stuff....

Yes Martin, it's looking a little worn in that area. I had a good tip from someone here the other day who used a leather paint, which was very successful on their seat. I tried the AG balm a few months back with little success, mine may have gone beyond that stage. I wasn't actually sure that it was real leather, but if it is then I'll try the leather paint.

Okay, using a few basic tools, the base of the seat near the backrest is approximately 33cm above road level. This is of course less the compression when you're sat in the car.

Nope, 5'9" tall. At 6'2" it could be a bit tight.

I own a 2017 Nismo V2, a V1 may have a different dimension. It'll be difficult to measure it accurately, but I'll have a go on the weekend. I'm no spring chicken and I don't have any back issues, but I find it more difficult to get out of, than fall into! Actually, difficult is the wrong word - I'd say awkward and needs just a tiny bit of thought! If I've not responded by the end of this weekend, give me a reminder here.

I can't post photos in chat PM. Here's what is possibly the only photo in existence of a meeting of Zeds from the upper deck of a 747!
