Sounds good to me. Perhaps we should PM some of the local folk and give them a gentle reminder.

Definitely the most annoying for my missus! Also I must have longer arms because its the heated seats and not the hazards that I normally put on by mistake with my elbow!

Welcome aboard!

It does look like a grown up Evo though.....

heres a link to pics not sure how to put them on http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9211/pict00595ia.jpg http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/8865/pict00639rn.jpg Nice. Bet you don't see many others to wave to.

You might be right - the rear wing's in.....

Welcome aboard! I like the Skylines.

Nope 28 ....he just acts 15! I must be getting better then cos last time it was 12 OMG I inadvertently complimented you!

Probably not liable for letting someone drive your unfamiliar car. But I do agree with the consensus that unless you can verify that they have full comprehensive insurance covering your car (not just theirs) don't let them drive. Addresses, keys, other cars etc. aren't good enough. They might not own any of these things and there's no point suing someone with no money. This is generally why I take the hit and trade in rather than sell privately. My comprehensive cover with RAC does not allow me even to drive any other car at all, not even 3rd party!!! They've heard about you, pal!

Just got my renewal through - £815 fully comp, with mods declared (but not covering them), 35 years old, no garage, in Liverpool (next post code to Toxteth ). That was with Admiral. Tried Confused.com but every one except Endsleigh don't quote for modded cars on there. Endsleigh quoted £2400 and then had the cheek to call up to see if they could reduce that a bit!!!

Best wishes to your missus for a speedy recovery.

Nah no way SLR? Give me the Porsche anyday! (Actually I'd save a few quid and get a Murcie 640. )

Is it just me or have I missed something here?

I couldn't agree more! Why spare your Z for the next owner? It's such a great car to drive with and it looks so damn good! Me too. The car will lose the best part of 50% over three years whether you drive it or not. I can't see the point of spending most of that time driving a crock.

Feel for you mate (and your business partner and family). Good luck with the sale. (Sorry if this a PH post )

By all accounts the Zed seems to handle mileage well - the engine is designed for 200k miles apparently. I know of one with 80k on it and the only costs have been a couple of clutches and a flywheel. If you can be reasonably confident that this has been looked after, as mentioned above, I would be tempted to take a punt on something like this rather than a JDM of unknown providence. High mileage hammers values and there may well be a fair bit on negotiation left to come on that price. PS Not knocking JDMs, its just that something is known about this particular car.

Nice first post, mate. Welcome aboard as a fully fledged poster!

Very wet but smiling no doubt!

I use the Zed every day - 27k miles in 2 years. I won't use it in the snow or if I think it might snow whilst I'm in work. That has meant I have deliberately left it at home maybe 6 or 7 days in the last 2 years. Frustrating but not a biggie. Problem comes when I want the Micra on he snowy days and so does Kat. No fisticuffs yet.... I did think of buying an old nail a couple of weeks ago for carrying large stuff and days when the weather's bad but really it was just me wanting to have another car in my collection and I had to can the idea on cost grounds.

Wheels and car are looking sweet, mate.

Make sure you get hubcentric ones. Buy from BigPhil and you won't go wrong.

Er, isn't that Zedrush's car? Err you need glasses mate Sorry, pal. I never enlarged the pics from the thumbnails.

Damn! I opened this thread hoping that someone had discovered "Nissan service". Bugger!
