  1. Global warming has a lot to answer for
  2. Take a look at the first pic on my following thread of my 370 in the showroom - just the way the light was doing things viewtopic.php?f=70&t=31076 Nice one Colin - thanks... Still can't make my mind up though! Have always done it on every car but want to avoid a zebra look (not saying yours does!) Know what you mean - someone said when they saw the pic it had a Stig look - I can live with that

  7. Cheeky bugger it's these 350z's sex on wheels We could start checking who's not online and make bets on the outcome 9 months later
  8. Your very own Stig then Congratulations to you and mum
  9. Missed that post, but an excellent write up - just a shame Jaguar don't adopt the same professional standard given Chesterfields experience
  10. Yes they much better Stan, given the driver knows how to drive them. 3 things that make it better than a Zed even with performance tyres - skinnier tyres (std Evo tyres are 235, 4cm each side skinner than my rear tyres) so more pressure per tyre on the contact patch cutting through the snow, 4WD splitting the power 4 ways not 2 ways, so half as much to each wheel as ours. Finally as they are turbo'd they have sod all torque at low revs (no boost), meaning its very easy to apply little power - even at low revs in 2/3rd gear, my Zed was spinning my wheels when stuck. To prove the point, my Zed couldnt get up the drive which has a very slight incline. Ben's Evo pulled my Zed up the incline with his car starting on the incline itself! Way way more grip than the Zed has. Saying that, driven properly, the Zed is no worse than most of the muppets in FWD cars I was fully with you Chris up to your "no worse" comment in the last sentence. There is no way a RWD is as good in ice and snow as FWD (or rear/mid-engined cars for that matter) and even a novice driver in a FWD is likely to get an icey uphill road better than an experienced one in a RWD. Yes, there are too many muppets out there who don't how to drive in these conditions - period. In slippery conditions any car with the engine over the driven wheels (aside from 4 x 4) will be a safer and better bet for getting anywhere. You only have to look at classic and production car trials to verify the difference. Nope, June's Jazz is working overtime at the moment while the ZED is sitting there piled up with snow.
  11. Its not a ZED anyway
  12. Moved Mike's obviously got side-tracked counting his words
  13. At least we men don't wear skirts
  14. You thinking of swopping your ZED for an Astra then Stew, by looking at that forum
  15. Opps, thought you meant the car after saying you dug it out Hope your milkman does not take a pearler on your drive in the morning
  16. Sorry to hear that - no comfort but you are not the first by far for that to happen to them
  17. I hope you have nice warm garage otherwise the doors are likely to be frozen to the frame
  18. Tut, Tut, flirting already Rob and only just married
  19. Not sure where you got that double cradle from but here is a link with pics to what you want for your 350 viewtopic.php?t=13358
  20. A little more than that - it is slightly reprofiled - you can't use MY03 reflectors in a MY06 bumper for instance. Also I believe the horizontal grill slats in th MY06 bumper, in a grey plastic, vary from the MY03 bumpers.
  21. MY03 Bumper MY06 (facelift) Bumper
  22. A bit of info here about using studs - see under 'damage to roads' http://www.etyres.co.uk/uk-tyre-law
  23. Looks like my car washing habit continues as before then Good news about the paint healing seemingly working Makes me wonder if that will mean less 'swirling' - we shall see And it healed the stonechips that would be even better
