  1. Great to see that he now has a car to show his ability - just a pity bad management in his early years in F1 frustrated moves to the right teams. Today's Monaco win followed a tenacious ability to get on top of car set-up in practice and then a faultless drive. As they say, he is one of the smoothest drivers around and there is no doubt he has the skill to find a good balance on the track to reduce tyre wear but at the same time attacking the kerbs, as Monaco demands, that is giving him the edge over Rubens His only one mistake today was parking in parc ferme at the end of the race rather than in front of the royal box - a legacy of previous years habit of never making the top three in that race But the real transformation for Jenson is having Ross Brawn running things - he clearly is magic at understanding what makes an F1 cars work with whatever rules apply at the time and has an uncanny knack of using great strategies in practice and the race. I really nice guy too. No doubt Ferrari have been struggling ever since Ross's departure. And what a turn around for Lewis - hero to zero, with Mclaren seemingly losing their way with the new rules from the off this season. From what I am seeing, they and others using the new Kers system are having significant issues (BMW dropping the system altogether) and it does seem that it is unsettling the cars under heavy breaking and when the surface is uneven - I guess it is locking up the transmission and pitching cars off. Lewis admitted to late braking causing his shunt in practice but I do wonder if he was wholly to blame Clearly at Monaco the Kers was quite useless, although come the likes of Silverstone the non-Kers users might struggle? And if you wonder why I am going on about Jenson - it goes back to the days when I used a Beetle in motorsport, when his Dad was very quick in one in Rallycross and I use to follow his exploits many moons ago
  2. Welcome to the forum - nice ZED you have there - just like my first (an 04 Blade).
  3. Fully agree with what everyone has said - a great choice - would be nice to see a pic of the stance from the rear quarter And yep, stick to 35psi in the tyres - but only check when they are cold.
  4. All UK supplied ZEDS have a Cat 1 immobilizer/alarm but imports can vary - see Steve3000's post on this thread for info: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=14554&hilit=alarm%2Fimmobilizer
  5. When you giving your granny her tea cosy back
  6. ..............and either a bag of 50p's for the electricity meter or plenty of candles
  7. Reduced image - now sorted - thanks Chris
  8. Pansonic Lumix suits a non-pro like me and fits my pocket easily and there are a good choice within the £200 budget
  9. Properties says it is a JPEG Image and size is 2.24 MB (2,356,488 bytes) As downloaded from the camera with no editing done.
  10. Looks like it has got the NISMO tag to confirm it is
  11. OK tried that but (as I had tried before starting this thread), got the message that the image file was invalid (standard jpeg pic) and had the horizontal pipe window constantly filling with green that continued long after the screen message about being invalid appeared and eventually closed it down. Is there something I need to turn off/on to overcome the problem?
  12. As the topic says really - noticing more members are posting their pictures using this format and not being IT savvy I can't seem to work out how its done The advantage with attachments seems to be that you can do it without going through photobucket etc (often so slow), and you can lift straight from your computer??? Inserting pdf's also seems to be possible too. The ability to increase photosize with the magnifier is great as it means photos can be viewed within the screen size I have. Does the attachment format have a downside that causes problems for Admin ?
  13. That is spot on. But I have wondered if the Alfa's and Evo's that have the square plates mounted on the nearside are legal and picked up by the cash machines
  14. +1, wouldnt want to create more damadge or risk the zed +2 A shame you had to introduce yourself with a problem but welcome, and do get the car up on a ramp and professionally inspected sooner rather than later - something is bent for the shaking you are describing, whether it is the inside of a wheel or the supsension is impossible to say without seeing the car, but would hate for it lead to a breakage and possible worse...........
  15. But you don't 'alf look a prat when you go out in the morning and get in the car with the latest girlfriend and realize you've left the steering wheel under the bed
  16. Mores the point, do they get a chance to find time to do anyone else's tyres - dare we ask how mant £10's you have paid ps: won't tell Liz, promise
  17. A bird on each arm - can't be a bad start and what a fabulous looking place for a honeymoon - have a great life together, oh and drop by this site when you time and energy - be good to hear from your again
  18. A slight aside, what type of equipment should a tyre fitter be using to remove and replacing tyres to avoid damaging the rims - just thinking if I do get a puncture what to check for.
  19. A rear bumper like 3fiddyZ has on his would look good with those skirts
  20. The motorail was (don't think it operates now) similar to the Channel shuttle train - gives cars a piggy back ride, although pasengers rode in carriages then, and in the case of the lazy Ritchie types they would opt for a sleeping car.
  21. You have one of the best cruising GT's around and you want to put it on a train - that ought to attract a Sleep while moving! Tut tut, if I as a bus pass holder finds the drive from Surrey to Scotland in the ZED far more rewarding than contemplating hitching a lift on a train, I'm sure a young whipper-snapper like you would find it a doddle
  22. Thanks for that, I wanted pics of the car rolling! Colour co-ordinated with the sky too

  24. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... its bad enough June getting on the computer to order the next outfit, but then to mix it with the other WAGs on here about what they are going to buy to keep up with our very necessary ZED purchases could cost a fortune Concerns aside, a very warm welcome Bex and looking forward to you keeping the Mods on their toes with your inside knowledge
