Nothing for less than £24k on Autotrader and £26k on PH at the moment.

Glad you had a good day at Oulton. Was it with Sarah Hutchinson?

Looking good!

Its a miserable world we live in.

Didn't trade my Zed in for a 5. I had no car for a bit and bought the 5 later because it was cheap and fun. It was no Zed but it was much lighter on its feet and the steering was better. They don't break but they do rust....

I have heard lots of stories of Rota wheels breaking, seems you have to buy a rabbits foot at the same time as purchasing the wheels.

 

First hand or on this wonderful thing we call the interweb?

 

EDIT: Sorry, shoudl have read the rest of the thread before asking that.

You're an obsessive nutter, mate, but I've got to love your work. The Pagoda is simply stunning!

 

Don't leave it so long next time!

 

All the best.

They were on his first Zed and cracking IIRC.

 

Cracking 'good looking'

 

or

 

Cracking 'breaking/broken'

 

Broken!

 

And Jay, you're not wrong!

Respect for the job done and the quality but not sure about the result.

god i hate those failside arches.

 

they look good when blended but that causes a whole world of problems.

zedrush used to have them blended in if i recall, looked stunning.

 

Nope Jay's werent blended............ its because his was black... it didnt stand out as much. But his 350z was perfection

 

They were on his first Zed and cracking IIRC.

I would hope that as the UK distributor Rarerims would get involved. Drop Ben a PM.

The X6 has an identity crisis going on....

 

Is it a 4x4

 

Is it a car....

 

It's ugly I know that for sure... Clarkson tested it and hated it's inability to serve either purpose on road or off road!! oh and it starts at £45k - what a way to throw money down the pan!

 

 

I wouldn't take any review by Clarkson on TG too seriously - the X6 is a soft target for an attack.

 

I quite like it because there's no real reason that all 4x4s should be square boxes or drive like trucks. The harsh reality is that most never go off road or need to be uber practical. This Harman version is pretty vile though...

Looks like a modified BMW X6.

Yep and he's not the only team member eligible to vote that's away. I suspect the team are waiting until everyone has been able to vote so its a fair competition.

Marky for Pope!

Nice job! Love that the Brembos reflect in the lips.

That one at Georgesons has been on for months and has dropped at least £2k in asking price. May mean they'll do a deal or may mean its a dog. Be aware if you go and see it that it has a non-standard exhaust which, if its a good one, could be a selling point but potentially could be an ear bleeder. Not wanting to put you off but just advising caution.

Not sure what the difference is, if there is any?

Suede is a natural material, alcantara looks and feels like suede but is man-made. I'm sure virtually all wheels you can buy will be alcantara.

Well worth the wait - great pics fella!

Try Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry for a good driving tune - perhaps not ideal for a traffic jam though...

If you have an excess on your policy you will have to pay it if you claim. The insurance company may waive it before you pay if they think the case is strong and they will get their money back, or refund it later if they do get the money back from the other guy's insurers. However, they are neither obliged to waive it or reclaim it for you - it is an "uninsured loss". Check your policy terms to be sure as different companies vary.

 

If your insurers recover everything they pay out they should restore your NCB. Again, as said above, some use the fact that you actually had an accident, albeit non-fault, to raise your premium come renewal. IIRC Admiral rely on stats to say that if you have had a non-fault accident you are more likely to be involved in another accident!

 

Check your policy to see if you have legal expense cover. You can use this to pay for a claim for any "uninsured losses" you do not recover from your own insurer. You may also have it on your household policy or credit card.

 

To the guy who suggested it would be a Cat D - I very much doubt it for such minor damage.

 

HTH.

Looks like orange but no doubt it won't be!

Delighted for you!
