  1. Dorian, There has been no official policy change, if there was then we would be telling you all about it. Its probably more about us trying to stop threads degenerating in worthless (or time consuming) threads, or to ensure that those threads pose as much value as they can in the future. But this can just be done by moderating the thread and deleting all the crap! Also in some cases, locking stops old threads getting dragged back up months (and in some cases year or older).... But sure it will be discussed, if it seems like this is a major change......
  2. Ha ha .... nice try mate But seriously, after the last time it was decided that to have the format we did last time was too stressful (well for me!), time consuming and in some cases potentially unsafe. A lot of people were just concentrating on the car in front, rather than looking out the person behind etc..... If we kept that sort of numbers, then we would need to probably look at staggering groups going out with "leaders", with more detailed directions and also arranged meeting places. The other alternative was to limit the numbers to a smaller number...... Both of these options were under discussion...... (and others may be looked into)

  4. No the coupe look does look better, although I've seen a "special edition" black one with "some upgrades" that looks sweet...... This is on the pistonheads thread and was supplied by Greens, to one of their customers.....
  5. That's why I'm considering a Monaro... £37k new, one year later £25k Oh and you can get a Harrop SC for it or TT it You can also get a Wortec (vauxhall approved) or Walkinshaw SC!! The wortec one you can buy through various dealers, Greens seem to be the biggest and best for Monaros....
  6. Yeah so good I've seen em on Ferraris etc now.... Just Sarnie being a label freak!
  7. No probs....... nothing to worry about
  8. Guys and Gals, I can't go this weekend to Donnigton, so if anyone wants my tickets for both days (2x) then PM me quickish with address and I'll stick em in the post asap today (1st asked for, 1st served!). Hopefully you will get tomorrow then you can decide if you want to go both or one of the days etc... To all going, have a good day. Shame I'll miss out again!
  9. Yes, we decided last time that seeing as we already 30 zeds there. It was getting a bit out of hand with keeping all together etc. We made a decision after that future large drives outs would be 350z onlys.... Unfortunate but a necessitaty due to the amount of owners interest we had from this forum.....

    They've arrived!

    Ouch..... thats not good for the blood pressure! Hope you got insurance and your daughter signed "unchecked"
  12. Azure coupe with standard wheels (non rays) on Green st, Knutsford (parked) yesterday. Well think it was Green St..... just off the town centre anyway. Didn't actually go up the st, just saw you..... Anyone on here?
  13. Good, thanks Andy, Glad to see that FB actually helped in some way!
  14. Ha ha good man...... Loving the signature as well........
  15. By the way, did anyone else see the signs on this road saying...... "Police Aircraft Traffic Enforcement" I thought I was back in the states for a min..... This is why: http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=16728

    Focus st

    You can remap an ST to nearly 290 bhp The zed isn't the fastest thing on the road................. You can actually map them and with things like a new exhaust etc, get over 300BHP...... Evo mag tested a good few of them against each. I know the Graham Goode one is over 300BHP for not that much cash! So they can defintely be quick.....
  17. No we didn't bother or we would have probably lost each other in about 5mins! There were a few lotus Elise's that turned up at the pub, but funnily enough they didn't stay that long!
  18. Yeah me too...... I had one on purpose on one of the positive camber corners on the Cat and Fiddle...... I booted it going around it for a bit of a sideways laugh...... .made me chuckle! The one on the dual carriageway later didn't......
  19. So is this for a new one, or a used that you looking at swapping? Reading that article, I'm assuming you can get one of the "old" shape still as a new car until stock runs out?
  20. Oh yes I did but it didn't stop me from doing excatly the same thing fractions of a second later! Yeah and there was that S2000 (well think it was) on the other side of the road that was facing the wrong way with the coppers there! Looked like he'd done the same....
  21. Is that another one then, considering Hurricane Dean hit a couple of weeks ago?? I recommended to my best mate that they go to this hotel just below Playa Del Carmen and they got evacuated up to Cancun when Dean hit. I felt a bit guilty even though couldn't have predicted it...... Anyway, have a good time mate, its a great place......
  22. Loving the "Custard Corner" pic Chris! (last one......) Digsy, did you not see me have a big sideways moment joining that dual carriageway just before you left us...... whole car went completely sideways. Felt like diesel...... anyway, was chuckling....... good job there was nothing in the inside lane!
  23. Yeah was good to see everyone! Shame didn't get to chat with all, before we decided sitting that pub watching the pouring down rain was too much! Anyway, I think its now tradition that all gatherings must have a carvery!
  24. Shame Kev, would have been good to catch up...... try and get over if you can but if not then see you soon hopefully.....
  25. watch out for the Police to they have helicopter patrols on this stretch of road... Also avoid Chatsworth House area..there is a Game Fair on .it will be absolutely solid with traffic in a few miles radius of there Yeah, that reflects what I said earlier in the post..... Although the weather looks a little "changeable" so that may put off a few people!
