Just looks like it has overdosed on steriods to me

Hope Graham told the good lady that the ZED he had really come to see was not quite in running order so there was no passenger rides from you going..............................just yet I presume that sheared bolt on the diff had not meant it had been hanging on by the proverbial

Enjoy today what you couldn't yesterday

Some rather nice ones here http://www.nightimport.com/2011/10/spec ... -11th.html 8th pic down for me

Many congratulations -have a great day and life together

If you want them very wide ISS Forged 20x11 & 20x13 - google

+1 and some of us can't remember what it was like during the time after no longer being a spring chicken

Have a great day buddy and enjoy your night away - you are certainly racking up the miles at the mo. June sends her love but I'll pass going that far, knowing this lot on here

In addition to what Stew has said about being careful what is posted and things easily being misconstrued, it is clear insurance companies also look for any avenue to decline a claim, as I have a relative who is employed by one and his main task is to check all sources of information as to whether there are grounds to decline a claim under their small print

Why not - you never know - GLWTS

Its just like we see on here - some look to own a ZED but it becomes apparent they stuggle to find the means to support it, having borrowed for the purchase. Put temptation on the table and there will always be those who decide with their heart rather than their head. We live in a material age where having the latest what-have-you is king. If the potential to buy things on tick cannot be realised because the moneymen decide its too risky to lend on, then at least it dosen't all end up in tears. I see this with my two lads in their early thirties and the only thing that is helping them get by is the current low interest rate - sadly their future aspirations for bettering themselves are now very much on hold because of the current economic situation and having borrowed, like all their university mates were doing, up to the hilt - because it was available and was the 'norm'. Sadly, an awful lot of people are going to suffer for years to come.

Nice pics Dave

Opps, forgot about that overtake on the first hoon Or was it the one at Knockhill

Supurb pics there Daryl - so glad we have you on here for some of these 'insider' shots and info. I'm looking forward to getting up close and personal at one of the GPs next year

Always work on the basis, in my book, if you don't ask you don't get and bad timing going to Greece, or perhaps you were wise

As they say, size is not the be all and end all

In my last 10 years with a Local Authority I saw the salaries of the Directors and higher-end managers grow out of all proportion compared to the 'coal face' public sector employees who often have to deal with very challenging 'customers' and take the day-to-day flak in the face. Going back 20 odd years when this disparity really got started and the move for savings was seen as bringing in 'expertise' from the private sector, in my experience it just led to shambles because they were solely charged with financial savings and had little, in any, understanding of the public service LA's are under a duty to undertake by statute. Over that time we have seen the wage disparity across all work areas grow and those at the bottom end see little betterment in their lifestyles - more the opposite nowadays. Do we see those at the top end similarly 'suffering'? Certainly not in the area where I live given the various building projects I get to see I am just concerned that those who are not at the top end and so not able to 'milk' the system, whether they are in the private or public sectors, have disproportionally taken the greater brunt of cuts - whatever job they do. OK, so the same system is largely worldwide and I accept that keeping this country 'competitive' sadly means top-end salaries are unlikely to result in fairer wealth distribution anytime soon. The increasing availabilty of credit has, until very recently and made possible by yes, guess who.... using all sorts of enticing offers and with Governments endorsement, has been the single biggest factor that has got us in the situation we are now. When I was seeking my first mortgage back in the late sixties, even though me and my future wife were in secure jobs and could demonstrate we had been saving for in excess of 2 years well in excess of what the monthly payments that would be required for the mortgage we needed, we had a devil of a job getting one. The fact that since then those in the private sector 'handling' our money have gradually made credit more and more easier to the point both Governments and ordinary people were living more and more 'on tick' is what has caused the present mess. So yes, I do get concerned when I see those who have, or are doing very nicely out of what has been faciliated by the banks and succesive Governments, bemoan those not so fortunate finding themselevs less well off through no fault of their own. They are the ones taking the biggest hit on their incomes. Probably like most on here that post, I suspect, in order to keep a reasonable standard of living going rather than having a very very comfortable standard of living that is enjoyed by those who can usually dictate or control their own income and have access to good accountants. But then I come back into reality and know that nothing is 'fair' in this world and whatever I think or say ain't going to change anything, but at least I got it off my chest

You should have asked for a drive of mine when I was in your part of the world in September, and if you were really, really brave come out on Knockhill with me I think Kenny enjoyed his drive in it

How come it got removed mate? A link is removed if it is not seen beneficial to this forum.

Not really any different to driving an auto when you use SRM on the manual, it does it all for you. Heel/toe is officially a lost artform Not when you still own an old school 350z.... I do miss the feeling of nailing a good heel/toe into a corner Not if you have a manual as you have the option

Thought I gone off forum onto the Romanium tourist agency one Stunning photos, though its a shame you put your own in Adrian I doubt that - I have seen your overtakes

You have great taste Jay In which case, why not ask for all 4 to be done in say the Anniversary/GT Edition colour when you have signed on the line - I certainly have that in mind myself a little later on.....

Good points there Rich. We all know there are wasters in public service and that includes some of the highly overpaid managers that have come in from the private sector in recent years who have no idea about the service they enter and frankly end up making stupid cuts that most can see is simply about justifying their inflated salaries. And that Chesterfield is what is distorting the average pay in the public service nowadays. We also know the ridiculous sums of money that can be made in the private sector. I never use the word "earn" because how you can ever say someone, like a trader, paid £1m a year is worth 40 times more than say someone, like a nurse, on £25k a year? How would a banker face life and death situations each working day - are we really saying his share dealing is 40 times more important in the pay scales -so he can buy the most expensive champagne and luxury/preformance cars? Let's not forget, the root cause of the financial problems we have was caused by the private sector - the 'money houses', aided and abetted by weak politicians - the buggers you and I elect, not appoint. That said, it has been a real eye opener since I changed from the public sector to the private sector - being your own boss and using the expertise gained working in the public sector was the best thing I ever did. But then when I have to deal with the public sector it can be like stone and blood as I have been seen as jumping ship - the us and them divide which I see coming through in this thread, because we have all been hit one way or another. I'm still smarting over an endowment that didn't get near to covering the mortgage sum insured, messed up by guess who... Frankly I think the *ankers have got away with daylight robbery on massive scales and yet they are still awarding themselves lottery money bonus - they are the ones that have caused the financial crises that should be slammed, not your average private/public sector worker who end up being the victims in all of this. The fact that 77% of the public sector did not vote for the strike action confirms to me a least that the vast majority are resigned to taking a hit on their pensions in just the same way the average private sector worker has seen their pension (savings) being taken away - no guesses by who

Rim damage makes you wonder if he hit a kerb that caused the tyre to partly come off a flay around until it departed company altogether. He was very lucky not to have ended up totalling the car altogether, whatever the speed

I wondered why you kept getting up close and personal on the Hoon
