  1. Correct! - I do have a wheel brace though It's the curent 'fashion' with many new cars not having a spare wheel, whether that is weight, money saving or a bit of both, its not my preference. For my peace of mind I have a spacesaver now as anything other than a basic puncture will not not be sorted by tyre weld and a pump. And as I like to get out on roads that are often remote and often outside mobile signal range I would rather have the weight 'penalty' than wait god knows how long for a tow truck.

    Admiral hassle!

    Long day chap? Go play with your foam lance Colin - did you do a requote on Admiral or just get the renewal through? Renewals from them suck, I always do a requote and it comes back down again. Last time I called them to moan, got a very nice South African man (dont worry he wasnt dodgy!) who cut it even futher as a "sorry". Will be giving CK a go this time though. I did the comparison bit and Bell (part of Admiral) came beak with fairly competitive numbers but having previously got some figures from CK and for me, the ability to talk through the details with a known and trusted broker who has helped many members on here, made my decision that more easier. Frankly I get peed off that loyalty no longer counts these days in so many walks of life and you have to waste time scratching around to get sensible deals. So I usually don't bother trying to haggle with companies that don't bother to be competitive from the off, and move on.....
  3. Cheers Mike - thanks for the call Hope the hangover is not too bad
  4. Naughty neighbours - more like neighbours from hell Any chance you can set up a video to catch them at it - if you know roughly their coming and going times might not take too long to verify. Police would also be able to identify with a vid if paint on their door edge is yours and vice-versa if you take the pics to your local police station they might take sympathy on the criminal damage point - but a very big might in there

    Admiral hassle!

    +1 - both our cars are with them. Going to try Chris Knott next time as I hear good things, and not the missus can get insured with them, I'm looking for good things. If not it will be with Admiral again. I have had a couple of claims with them over the years - non of them my fault - and they have been very helpful I finish with Admiral today on both our cars. Made a huge mistake of opting for their multi-car "deal" which basically means they hook both your cars so they can up the joint premium (compared to the last renewals individually) by over £200. As loyalty no longer counts these days in the insurance business (it seems), by shopping around and bearing this forum in mind, Chris Knott, or more specifically Paul in the office, has sorted out 2 new policies with the insurance for the 370 + mods coming to not much over £400 (mods are type for type replacement). As I don't have a garage and live on the outskirts of London and the 370 is a a Group 19E, seems a fair price I could have got a mariginal further saving elsewhere but as the forum will benefit and I have had good reports of no issues when you need to add further mods, I am now with 'Highway' who are part of Liverpool and Victoria from tomorrow and they have been around forever
  9. Its lovely He almost had to kick me out of it when I had a play in it I wish this ruddy weather would ease off so I can have a play in it And, I never ever left a car so long between washes where is that
  10. Looks good - definitely should have a 350z-uk day there
  11. Moved into introductions and welocome and welocme on the forum
  12. They were not thinking - that is obvious
  13. 300 you have there - welcome aboard
  14. I tried 3 times and gave up, its like a question of sport and fingers on the buzzers - guess age is against me
  15. And to think we leave him incharge of the forum nah, nah, nah - I'm back and its sorted
  16. Sorry about that - Photobucket seems to be messing about of late - last couple of times I went on there a malware thing jumped out and bit me - so if I am not back in 24 hours can you send out a search party
  17. I agree - if you send it to me I'll give it a trial
  18. So does this mean you have a pair of TT's when you say: "for those of you how don't know me or my car" Or has Kenny being telling us porkers that its his car But you are very welcome in your own right, whatever the car ownership
  19. I'd like to ask why, when there are obviously moderators visiting this thread this image is still on here - bad enough it is used as someone's avatar - is this forum female friendly or not? Or am I just Sorry that image was not removed before now, the post count today must be astronomical - I've been trying to keep pace much of the day - its like a fulltime (unpaid) job - just pm the team if something similar occurs and hopefully there will be quicker action. Its the usual issue of where peoples boundaries lie in their desire to have a bit of laugh and as we frequently see there is wide interpretation on that score that we too get wrong at times, as you know.
  20. Would you like to be a little more specific about who the "general public" are? As Chris'I said, those appointed are not only truly passionate about ZEDs but have also demonstrated they are truly supportive of this forum. Thank you Jim for your kind words and as a long and loyal supporter of the forum - watch out you might be the next mod
