  1. And you play scrabble too - you're a sucker for punishment
  2. Right, I can lock this one then and give my search button a good talking to Edit: who let that upstart in vvvv after locking - team bollocking due
  3. I did wonder - but there is a limit (mine) on how many searches I'm prepared to do
  4. You only get a few seconds at the beginning. http://youtu.be/TgjCEOk1poc
  5. Locking this now as Will's advice ^^^^^ has fallen on deaf ears.
  6. Might have get me a ZED again seeing that. Don't know anything about the r/c scene but love to have a go. The controller he was using is not something I have seen before but he certainly makes good use of it
  7. With a couple of write-offs we have recently heard but the engines were not damaged, worth asking those two? http://www.350z-uk.c...side-swiped-me/ http://www.350z-uk.c...st-too-furious/ The price of the FB one and given the low mileage would make me very nervous having seen on here in recent years what engines are generally selling for with the "too good to be true" coming to mind, so I would suggest you check the genuiness as much as possible....but hey you might well have found a good one!
  8. Really enjoyed that read and pics and somewhere I have always wanted to visit, but my other 'alf does not do cold & snow so I'm grounded for the warmer places But then if it were just a 'mates' do........
  9. Wise, and I suspect you are a young man who is growing up amongst cars that are designed to absorb impact with airbags as well as belts to protect us now. Whereas when I first started driving in the mid sixties they were still building cars that were more like battering rams/armoured vehicles and hence the idea of being thrown (jumping) out, if the car hitting you was more solid than yours, kinda appealed. Coupled with not by law having to wear seat belts (few cars had them) and no speed limits on many roads together with a whole lot less vehicles on the road anyway, a 'gung ho' approach prevailed. For me nowadays it is quite amazing how vehicle technology has moved on in the past 50+ years and I find myself attracted to cars with all sorts of gizmos. When I think back to my first car - a 1962 Mini with sliding windows, I was so proud I could afford to add a stick-on rear window demister that was about as useful as frosted glass, whereas I now have a car that includes things like race start capability, on-board computer, and over 10 times the power output that with AWD sticks the road like glue (unlike the crossply tyres on skinny wheels in the sixties), I feel very lucky to have experienced car development that has made driving not only more pleasuarble but a whole lot safer too.
  10. Just waiting for the pages to load, eh Mart?
  11. Looking good Andy - and that sounded awesome on Ian's vid
  12. Wholly wrong that both fighters did not get an equal share of the purse, particularly when you read how they spend it......
  13. OK I'll let you off Ian - I know all too well this project management malarky can be more stressful than anything with just one 'party' fecking up the schedule, so good to hear you have got someone else on board to help get it completed
  14. Very dramatic that intro, but what was more dramatic is I think I saw Wasso seemingly doing something other that drinking tea and playing on his moby Its coming on though - so how long to firing up?
  15. I think Wasso might be a bit upset by that Will
  16. Just found this vid and if you like flames from an exhaust plenty here. Suggest you use full screen and turn up the volume Can't wait to see/hear this in the flesh

  18. One person on here I am sure would sort it out is Sly @ Kaizer Motors near Rochester, Kent which I know is a long way from you, but as he is ex Nissan HPC award winning master technician and he has sorted out many members 350/370 problems, aside from doing routine stuff, that is where I would go. http://www.kaizermotor.co.uk/ Although it was 160 mile round trip for me I that was my choice for servicing and bits and pieces Give him a call
  19. My findings are well documented but basically when using the 20mm spacer I added a 3mm slip spacer so the front wheels would bed squarely on the spacer. Unfortunately the 3mm alloy slip spacers I used from Halfords were not up to the job and over a period of time they distorted leading to the discs getting distorted. So I changed to 25mm and no issues with them. Yes you can change the hub studs I guess but as I had my car during warranty I made a point of removing the spacers whenever the car went into the dealer and the fag of changing the studs as well (so as to give adequate length for the nuts to grip without spacers) was a non-starter for me.
  20. A very long time ago when I was a teenager the boss of the garage I was working at part-time had a head on in his soft top E-type with a Daimler Dart, combined speed in excess of 3 figures and when seat belts were not compulsory. The driver of the DD died instantly as the E-type was much more solid....... They found my boss some distance from the impact who was thrown out, unbelievably through the windscreen, with his face mangled and various limbs and ribs broken alive, and having been taken to hospital they thought he had lost his lower jaw but in surgery found it had been pushed down in his neck. He made a recovery, but had quite severe disfigurement for the rest of his life but had he had been wearing a seat belt he would have also been dead. Oh, and although he was prosecuted for the death of the DD driver by dangerous driving it was proven that in fact the DD driver had suddenly pulled out to overtake two cars abreast on what was then a wide stretch of straight road. That accident was one of many on that road that shortly after was made a dual carriageway. For a long time that discouraged me from wearing seat belts before they became obligatory, but and as we have seen in historic car racing being thrown out of open cars (at least) can be a life saver. Not advocating that now, but........
  21. Good luck -nice BM and top quality post for a swap
  22. That 'amusement' factor was not the reason he was banned at all. But no more on the WW subject on this thread please otherwise the next poster might be going the same way
  23. Post about alternative product removed.
