come on then what is it?? His sig suggests he may not want to share that with you, Tim!

I was flicking through my new Evo mag at the weekend and in their eCOTY feature there's a picture of the team sitting eating roast lamb baps outside a pub, apparently in Wales. It looks and sounds suspiciously like our pub in Bala. Anyone else seen this?

The plate I'd love, "CRA1G" is on a BMW 645 Yeah, D1GSY is on a 4 year old Merc. Just going to look for DAM14N....

£4000 FOR 4 RIMS...... where did you buy em ?? Harrods Middlehursts, a franchised dealer, are selling them for £1895 a set. Were you including tyres in that price Tom?

Why would anyone do that? I'm not sure you could. My original comment was about how easy it is to scratch when lifting over it. He's an obscure fella that ir_fuel!

20 months old and 23.5k miles - more than I'd planned and probably too much too keep it 3 years but strangely I use any old excuse to go for a spin....

You're feeling brave today, Steve. Wait until Ming the Stevie-castrator sees that post......

Hmmm. I could spend an hour listing everything which will fit behind the strutbrace or I could have a life........

Me too. Looks like the V-Power card is a myth.....

Is that a serious question?

Welcome aboard! Ask away, that's what we're here for!

Ehh ? The space behind the strut is also part of the boot, is it not Gus Yes, if you manage to put stuff UNDER the strut. Putting stuff over the strut is just crazy If you have a Stuart B tonneau ( ) then over is the only way to go and very carefully at that.

I bet! There must be a look of complete bemusement on their faces as you disappear into the distance....

Yep, you need to go into "find devices" on your phone, look for the car (comes up as Nissan 350Z unsurprisingly) and Bob's yer mother's brother. Dead simple!

I'm not a massive CF fan but that looks , Gus. Considering how easy it is to scratch the standard one this could be quite a good find.

Gordon's alive!?! (Now where's that goatee smiley?)

Ah, no prizes for guessing where the name comes from now!

Nice vid. Interesting to see the difference in performance between the two Zeds which seems to be pretty much down to weight.

I'd still have bought my car even if I'd known Sarnie was going to buy one! Seriously though, I would never be put off a car by the "personality" of the average driver. Image is very important to many of us but its the image of the car not its drivers. I see a plump, bespectacled, middle-aged lady drive past me every day in a gorgeous azure Zed Roadster. I doubt (but could be wrong) that she's a member of any car forum but I can't say that seeing her has any effect on my desire for the Zed or alters it's image in my mind. I agree with the above comments that car forums are not representative - for starters I see plenty of women driving Zeds but we've only got 2 or 3 as members - and in any gathering (even of cyber-geeks like us) the loudest and biggest personalities will dominate. My own experience looking round is that this is a car that appeals to so many different types of person and age-groups (sorry Tim ) that it would be hard to pigeonhole the average Zed driver anyway. As an aside, in 1989 I bought a bright red Honda Civic 1.4 GL at a time when I would say 98% of its owners were OAP's or housewives. This was long before the Max Power/Fast and the Furious crowd spotted the humble Civic. I bought it for the sleek looks, double wishbone suspension, deceptively powerful, revvy little 16v motor and it's conspicuous value next to a Pug GTi. I positively revelled in the fact that I was the only 18 year old boy-racer with one of these things and that warm hatch drivers really didn't expect the thing to shoot off at lights the way it did. But I am weird...

he bought them very cheap at £600 Yes but it rather calls into question the veracity of the seller. The ad certainly suggests that he bought them new and that he has done 1400 miles since then.....

Welcome aboard!

Nice one, mate. Glad you got it sorted.

Can't make this as I'm over in Leeds on the 23rd. Sorry!

I won't mate. Any other points I should take into account? Apart from 'Stay on the black stuff' Get yourself one of these t-shirts. SARNIE'S NEW T-SHIRT Is there no-one on here you can make him an "I am Sarnie" t-shirt?

Ludicrous!
