  1. An interesting read but unless I have missed something you seem to have got through more clutches than tyres :wacko: That aside your last line sums up what the ZED is all about - sod the cost, eh :thumbs:

  2. To be honest I don't see the point in having a decent car and using it only when the temperature goes above 20 degress.

     

    I agree - it does surprise me how many seem to put their ZEDs away when the weather turns from untypically sunny to typically wet and grey for this country. OK so we have to ease back on the right foot and be a little more wary for the clowns that don't know how to drive in bad weather, but then balancing the car's performance aginst the prevailing conditions is all part of the pleasure of driving and using the ZED as often as I can means more of these ..... :teeth:

  3. :not_me: Being based in Surrey and with my reg ending in ZED (2006 black coupe) - I was in hospital having a retina stitched back in my eye on Thursday, but here you go until I do pass you :bye:
    :scare: How did you manage to do that? :surrender:

     

    Comes with age mostly, or at least for about 1 in 10000 of the population, so Im told :dry: Also happens to people like rugby players or others who get a bang on the head.

     

    Iv'e got something like a rubber band now round the eye at the back holding it all together, but most importantly the sight seems to be restored - I have been s..ting myself my ZED days might have been numbered...... :scare:

  4. So should mine be £400 or is the £205 correct?

     

    Here is what Chesterfield found out for us a while back - down to when the car was registered - a bummer as far I am concerned having had to pay another £95 for exactly the same spec engine as the GT4s. :angry:

     

    Here is the link to the full budget report:

     

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/p ... report.pdf

     

    Sections relevant to the owners of the 350Z are 7.78 on page 191.

     

    Quote:

     

    • raising the rate for the most polluting cars (band G) to £300 in 2007-08 and

    £400 in 2008-09; and reducing the rate for low-carbon band B cars to £35 in

    2007-08, with that rate then frozen for the subsequent two years;

     

    • raising the rates for graduated bands C-E, cars registered before 2001 and all

    light goods vehicles by £5 in each of the next three years;

    • raising the rates for graduated band F by £10 in 2007-08, then £5 in each of

    the subsequent two years;

     

    • in 2007-08 only, freezing the rates for motorbikes in the lower band with

    higher bands increasing by £1-£2; and freezing VED rates for Heavy Goods

    Vehicles (HGV), Special Types Vehicles, Combined Transport Vehicles and all

    vehicle categories that are linked to the basic goods rate;7 and

     

    • aligning the VED rates for petrol and diesel cars as the differential in nitrogen

    oxides and particulate matter emissions for new cars is expected to fall to

    close to zero once Euro V and VI emission standards become mandatory.

     

    • Changes to this year’s VED rates take effect from 22 March 2007. All changes

    in subsequent years take effect from licenses commencing 1 April in the

    respective year.

     

     

    Band G are vehicles with emissions levels above 225g/km and registered ON OR AFTER 23rd March 2006.

     

    This means that any 350Z registered ON OR AFTER 23rd Marc 2006 is in Band G.

     

    Thats £300 in 2007-2008 and £400 in 2008-2009

     

    Mind you sarnie when you get that GT R the the money you get back from the sale of the Lambo should offset the tax then .......hopefully :scare:

  5. the oc is a very small forum, i.e there is only a few people on there (mark,sats,mattler etc) an inner core who post to each other in threads and the rest are ignored

     

    I found that to be the case too. Your either part of the gang or your not. And thats usually dictated by whether you've paid your £35. Its dull as dishwater over there :yawn: I'm glad i'm banned, adds to my notoriety, I'm like an outlaw :lol:

     

    Better than having you as an inlaw :p

  6. The list is a £1k deposit/intent to buy as official deposits cannot be put down till march 2008 :ninja:

     

    Lambo days numbered then Sarnie.......... ;)
