  1. T'other night cant remember which one it was over the weekend at some point or it could have been last week. Either way doubt you're on here as there doesnt seem to be many in the south west
  2. which is now the value of your kellogs rice crispies packet toy car
  3. a few months back we both had a similar post count. How on earth did you manage to get to 4000 posts? 329
  4. are they still given out at 350 posts? Is there any way of getting one sooner as its taken me this long to get this far and still no nearer to getting one. Once I get one I'll stop pestering you lot
  5. too late threw them out last night as I found the mere presence of them in my garage had nocked 1k off the value of my home....
  6. hmmm the clear lack of a monaro and the inclusion of the Zed would say to me that nissan advertising bid more than vauxhall Yes I miss my zed still!
  7. does the flash do it any justice? If you want I have a bag full of ickle CF stickers that I used to protect (cover up) parts of my old bike fuel tank... they even come with a custom made baseball cap to wear at a jaunty angle
  8. hey you got 370bhp, a wet car park, traction control that fully disengages, what you gonna do?
  9. what where they? Were they Bridgestone Potenza RE050A?
  10. out of intrest how much is the exhaust, plenum and intake upgrades and what power gains do they give (and no I'm not about to lead into an LS1 engine mod **** take )
  11. surely bap is last on the list then....
  12. taking a uprated monaro at speed from calne to swindon via avebury is for men with mucho cahoonies my balls are like space hoppers
  13. if that's the case, even better then! never been there though, can't vouch for the tarmac conditions/facilities etc I can vouch for it - the tarmac is good condition - hte extended runoff isnt as smooth as you'd expect but its nothing to concern yourself with. If you guys are serious about this maybe we could organise a cross car event - 350z and monaros. Both are heavy GTs and will produce some close racing...
  14. racelogic do aftermarket kits for many cars, wonder if they do one for the zed.
  15. had one mate , you can murder a clutch on one of these with just road use thats my point, 2 or 3 hot starts from lights could see them off. Old friend of mine used to deal in jap sports cars, the mitsi was one of his best selling but he stopped selling them because of the nightmares he had with customers coming back with fubar clutches
  16. mitsi 3000gt is only just made for road use...
  17. weird fact (for me) I did some on-line quotes when I had the zed. I filled in with several insurance people, one even is a girls best friend (precious stone).... Same details, age, job, location, car details the lot only chaning from male to female for the requote All came out more expensive if I was a woman. I then did it a gain where i started out being a woman at first (once I stopped playing with my bits) and again it came out more expensive for being a woman. This goes to show that the insurance people think letting women in sports cars is a bad idea
  18. still, the less said about owning a rover the better....
  19. inded 1300kg vs 1700kg (almost) - fwd vs rwd - shorter gearing versus taller gearing - short throw vs galatic (circa 1 second) throws higher power doesnt mean faster certainly on the pod, the gearing on the two cars would see you going to the quater and if we kept going the ro would just walk away - its a pain!!! But it gives good fuel ahem... there is a diff conversion which i may also consider as I'm never going to use vmax on the road officer
  20. other way around surely! The pod is in the middle of nowhere where as shakespears is slap bang in the middle near to birmingham. Its just south of stratford on avon which makes it more central for north/south surely than the pod?
  21. Mid 15????? I was running 15.2 on my old 1.4 MG ZR. All be it with an engine upgrade and full exhaust system etc But perfect advice, the first 1/8 mile i found to be really slippery and unless you know how to get over the rubber you wont get a great time. Best is to get there early and be the first on the track so there is less crap on there. BTW - i wil be up for this. I wont go on the strip yet i dont think, however if you want i can get the big camera down and do some filming for you all and edit it together how much did the car weigh? Also its fwd which will help. My 60 times were indicating late 13s low 14s every time but the extremely tall gearing and ridiculously long gear throw doesnt help. The ripshifter will vastly improve this as will the upgrades I've had done but bear in mind at 70mph in 6th i am pulling 1800rpm = imagine the gearing. Despite the surface being well prepared it was nigh on impossible to not be spinning up into 3rd I'd advise on perhaps an organised run to shakespears as generally you get a lot more runs than at the pod
  22. corrected for you captint i have no idea but apparantly policies with a 2nd named driver (female) have less accidents so they reward accordingly. Also having 2 cars substantially reduces the risk of you having the accident in the insured car so that saves you too
  23. not sure what you mean but yes it leaves me the main named policy holder and the 2nd driver as just a named driver - making my mum the named (not main) saved me big time...
