Good man!! You know it makes sense!!!

I feel sorry for the poor sod that had to clean it out!!!

You sure you don't want a room mate??? I camped at Donny last year and froze my ass off!!!!!!!! You're more than welcome to chill with all us Yoco lads in the evening and have a couple of beers in the warmth (I sorted their rooms as well) if you want so long as you don't mind me picking your brains about the Z!!

I'm pretty sure this is the one that we are all booked into. 3.5 miles from Donington Park so means it is not a mega early start on the Sunday. http://www.travelodge.co.uk/find_a_hotel/hotel/hotel_id/126/NottinghamEMAirportDoningtonParkM1 Feel free to check the location if you like and confirm the booking. They are all in my name....Trowbridge. I have 5 rooms booked, 3 non-smoking and 2 smoking. We need 3 so if you need them, you are welcome to 2 of them at £45 per night per room.

£45 per room which can sleep 3.

For the mirrors, all you need to do is switch the power source from an ignition feed to a permanent 12v feed. Job done.

You have a pm

That is all good in my book!!

I can see this is going to be another expensive month!!

I don't have an official title with them but I basically organise all their cars for events/shows etc that they go to and generally scout around for new feature cars for them. In return, I get press passes to some of the shows and get to sneak my car into some trade stands that they do at things like Max Power Live etc (Crap show but it's nice to be mingling!!) And you're right about the totty....that is anothe perk of the job!!

If it helps as well, I have 5 triple rooms booked about a mile and a half from the venue and we only need 3 now so if any of you need a room let me know and I can transfer them across (hopefully) or you can just use my name.

Bit Off Topic but I will be up there (without a car) with SLTV and Yoco so will come and find you all and introduce myself if you end up going.

It's ok mate, as much as I love the RS-V's, I want to get something with a stupidly big dish on it for the Z!

No problem mate, sounds like a nice little project. If nothing else it is good to know I can mount one of my 7" screens in there for my sat-nav!! Thanks very much!

Thanks mate! I'll try not to embarass you all at any shows I go to with you all!! Roll on V6NOS MkII!!!

Thanks mate!! Yes I will be doing something similar to the Cougars ICE in the Z all be it with not so much equipment to keep the weight down so I can keep my fun levels up!!! I have to say I hate the standard Cougars but when I got it, no-one had done one before and I fancied a challenge and I think it turned out ok!!! It's stressed me out more than anything else in my life due to the lack of available parts so pretty much everything internally is bespoke but it all adds to the individuality!! I do like modifying cars but I can't stand all the Saxo's and Corsa's you see about with their HUGE kits and 1.2 engines but I would like to create something similar to the Cougar with the Z....something classy but still practical and fun to drive.

Have you ripped the flap out as well or just the sat-nav??? If you have the panel I am very interested if you fancy flogging it!!!

20's are the only way to go on a Z!! I would have loved to have gone 20's on the Coug but they would have hit the bottom of the front strut tower and then you are in a whole world of pain!!!

Yes they are. They are 19" Kahn RS-V's!! Lovely wheels and one of my favourite things on the car! They are the $$ but are well worth it!! I had 2 sets of BK299's on there before the Kahn's went on and they were made of chocolate and buckled very easily!! Won't be going back there soon!!!

I'll be around for as long as you guys will have me!!!

Thanks guys!!! The plate will be staying, don't worry about that and a bargain at only £399!!! The majority of the ICE will be staying as well.....have to admit I do have a big soft spot for my music and A/V stuff!! Did the majority of the work on it myself apart from the spraying so it is definatly a labour of love!!

Bit bored at work today so thought I would share some pics of my car with you. She is now sold and is being picked up on March 18th so then the Z will be well on it's way!! I tried to keep it subtle but classy at the same time...hopefully I have succeded! Had quite a lot of success with her including 4 magazine shoots, including cover on one as well as 2 film shoots and a few trophies and awards along the way as well!! It will be sad to see her go as I have had 4 very good and fun years with her but it is time to move on and lets's face it, the Z will more than make up for it!! Let me know what you think!!

What an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!

I have already got a set off Chris and I have to say they are very good quality!! Well recommended!

I worked out my fuel bill for the last year and it came in at a hefty £6,700!! Needless to say I now have a Mk1 Golf as my runabout!! Bring on the 40mpg!!
