  1. As long as they do get done for attempted murder and not some half hearted theft and dangerous driving rubbish. Should be put on a disused oil rig and left to rot.
  2. it should be £21.10, someone's ripping you off selling you a peak travelcard, you don't need that Which is needed if you don't want to get stranded when they start cancelling trains and you need to find another route!
  3. In which case you'll be surprised how much time you can spend on this site. Make sure you introduce yourself in the intro section. This place can save you a lot of time, money and take up a lot of time and money - all for the right reasons! Enjoy!
  4. It's Friday and I'm playing golf this afternoon! If you find one on eBay then great. Check on here in the for sale section as there is usually one or two being sold. As far as I know, it's £100 plus from Nissan. Someone may correct that though.
  5. The guy who turned up to fit the carpet seemed quite impressed that it was to a garage wall rather than to the lounge - but I decided against underlay My garage is carpeted on the floor!!
  6. 1) Yes 2) Nissan 3) Nope - with the bluetooth adapter you should get some instructions. It is voice activated to dial etc, and steering wheel controls are used for volume, answering etc. 4) The BOSE has the trickery in it to make this system work. It is fully integrated with it.
  7. Very true - but it is expensve when you need to just get somewhere with short notice. It costs me £26 return from Wokingham to Croydon, and I get to stand up for an hour and a quarter for my money. I don't know where I'll need to be from one day to the next so don't have the luxury of booking in advance.
  8. Indication as to how much the rest of the country has gone to the dogs??
  9. Class! Anyone know what the kits are in the 9th and 11th pictures in that list? And that Night Blue is gorgeous!
  10. Well the money goes somewhere. There was a map in the paper the other day showing that London and the Thames Valley funds most of the rest of the country!
  11. Point taken. The difficulty we have in what you have said is that it has always been our view that in order to ensure the best advise is given it takes time and energy to get to know the car and products which work and are value for money. In all honesty it is very easy to set up a website showing all manner of products but know nothing about them and that is where we try to be different. We spend most of our time on forums such as this assisting owners to make an informed choice and there are quite a number of members on here who can vouch for the time we spend either on the phone or via PM and email explaining how and why things work, the benefits and downsides, that all costs money. Take away that facility and you are left with nothing other than guesswork rather than making an informed decision. In addition when the purchase has been made who then supports it with details and help when the fitting is not going as planned or the instructions don't make sence. Surely it is worth maybe a couple of pounds more to have that level of support, again many can vouch for how we support our products with one to one availability at all times. I have lost count of the number of calls we receive asking questios about fitting often on products sourced elsewhere or needing english instructions because they have bought from an overseas supplier. We are aware everyone wants the best possible price but the best price is not always the cheapest. Good point well made. I have had the same experience Phil refers to above, and it is very frustrating. To back it up (hope you don't mind Phil), I have an issue in that the bolts that Phil provided with my strut brace didn't fit. Who knows why. Anyway, Phil has been sourcing other bolts, and rather than just sending the first ones out someone said would fit, he checked them on another car and found the thread pitch wasn't right. He is still searching and you get a real feeling that someone wants to be able to sell someone the right piece of equipment, and know about it. Price wise, rather than cost, I would go with value for money as the measure. Whether it has been with Phil or The Sound Gallery or other 'local' businesses, the advice you get can often be invaluable. Sure, if you search on the web you might save yourself a few £££ up front, but unless you are happy to deal with any issues with an answer machine, you will lose out IMO. I know Adam also provides a service to the forum, and that should be continued - a bit of competition is good. Good luck with it Phil. You will indeed be getting orders from me very soon again.....

    It did look good, I'll give it that. It just wasn't my cup of tea. But grunt in the Zed and handling in the Lotus can spoil your view of some other cars. Like I say, I think your GF will love it.

    There was this thread not so long ago. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... oper+black And this was my Mum's. After I spent a few hours on it Am sure your girlfriend will love it.
  14. You're right. It sucks! I've been having to use it more and more recently. How they can charge that much, and not guarantee you a seat, is a joke.

    A few questions

    Just noticed where you are. I'll be heading down that way in a few weeks for a break. Keep an eye out for a GM Zed!
  16. Does that mean you'll show up next time then??
  17. - That's what the place is for!
  18. Nice H5 may I suggest nismo zorst You may indeed. Want me to PM you my address so you can arrange for delivery??
  19. Good for me. What about the others??
  20. As requested, a pic of the meet - or me and Mark meeting! Apologies for the poor quality, main camera died on me Next date and time then. Any proposals?
  21. No problem Sarnie, that way I can clean a couple of cars on the way up and can have broken the water in before using it on the Lambo.
  22. Hell yeah!! What's your budget, what do you want doing and what finish do you want? eg P21S looks great but lasts 1-2 weeks tops. jetSEAL is a good base. From what I have heard, Collinite is ultra long lasting. I will be testing this on the Volvo soon. I'm guessing there are no swirl marks on the bodywork? Budget? I dunno. I just want it to look shiny and for someone else to do it WRT swirl marks there are some present courtesy of the previous owners Which is fine. It depends how much time you are prepared to spend keeping it up to scratch. If you don't mind waxing it once a week / 2 weeks, P21S it is. If not, Collinite or jetSEAL are others to consider. Then you will need a carnuba top up to keep the shine. Any pics of the swirl marks? Depending how bad, it may need a Makita / Porter Cable with some compounds to get them out. If is is surface swirls, then it may be possible to improve them by hand. Best way to get the pics is when it is darker with a bright light reflecting in the surface. All sounds good, so when you coming to do it?? When you've sorted out your budget! £50 I'll get my sponge, bucket and Halfords car wash out later and start thumbing a lift on the M40 tonight then.
