  1. that's pretty good for Mansfield. At least you found one, and a looker too.
  2. A little boy was sitting on the pavement with a bottle of Turpentine. He was shaking it up and watching the bubbles. A Priest came along and asked the boy what he had. The boy said, "This is the most powerful liquid in the world. It's called Turpentine." The Priest said, "No, the most powerful liquid in the world is Holy Water. If you rub it on the belly of a pregnant woman she will pass a healthy baby." The little boy scoffed, "If you rub Turpentine on a cats arse it'll pass a Nissan 350Z."
  3. and he offers a fitting service. I am instilled with confidence.
  4. In London an old priest lay dying in the hospital. For years he had faithfully served the people of the nation's capital. He motioned for his nurse to come near. "Yes, Father?" said the nurse. "I would really like to see Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling before I die", whispered the priest. "I'll see what I can do, Father", replied the nurse. The nurse sent the request to The Houses of Parliament and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be delighted to visit the priest. As they went to the hospital, Brown commented to Darling, "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected". Darling agreed that it was a good thing. When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Brown’s hand in his right hand and Darling’s hand in his left. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face. Finally Gordon Brown spoke. "Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?" The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." "Amen", said Brown. "Amen", said Darling. The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same."
  5. welcome from down the road. I have an 06 roadstar, never stopped smiling since I bought it.
  6. fabulous. I'd love one.
  7. I am hoping there will be at least one at Zed - Fest in September. Worth coming just to look at that.
  8. no probs mate, just trying to be helpful.
  9. nothing to do with z club that's some other girlie site.
  10. If it helps you could use the 350z forum over on zclub.net. It would mean joining that forum but I don't see a problem with that. You might even want to stay on another top Z site! You might even want to join in the rest of it and liven the place up a little. no payment needed.
  11. Reginald Molehusband (remember him?) would be better than Mosley.
  12. try some of that spot and lump remover in the Harry Potter film.
  13. not all areas offer this scheme. You have to pay a fee (which is more than the fine), it used to be half day classroom and half day on road and was well worth it but I think things have changed since then. At least you don't get the points.
  14. we have 22 acres all to ourselves, plenty of room for a lot more yet.
  15. bloody couriers. A lot of them are complete time wasters they don't bother knocking, just assume because it's between 9 and 5 everyone's out. Those that do knock are issued with a feather duster just for that purpose.
  16. come on Harrier 1 and Martinmac (you should know better) this thread is for Zed Fest 08 THAT'S LAST YEAR - WE'VE ALL GONE HOME NOW
  17. WOW!!!! WHAT CAN I SAY? WHO ARE THE PEOPLE? WE ARE THE PEOPLE!!! THE 9TH JAPANESE AUTO & PERFORMANCE SHOW, RUNNER UP BEST CLUB DISPLAY THE UNIFIED Z CLUB WINNER BEST CAR IN SHOW: CRAIG MUDD - NISSAN 350Z WINNER BEST MODIFIED CAR: CRAIG MUDD – NISSAN 350Z RUNNER – UP BEST SPORTS COUPE: JAMES CHAPMAN – NISSAN 350Z RUNNER – UP BEST CLASSIC CAR: KEVIN MANSELL – DATSUN 240Z This must be the best result that the Z Club and the 350Z club have had for some time. Very well done to everyone. Thanks to those members who turned up and their wives, girlfriends, partners and sons for all the background help that made us so successful. We were blessed with bright sunshine for most of the day except for about twenty minutes of torrential rain around lunchtime but we had Craigs gazebo for shelter and during the afternoon soaked up the prizes. The final event of the day was best car in show and it left the judges divided between Craigs 350 and a fabulous ’94 Toyota Celica in the end a public vote went down in Craigs favour, a grim fight but Datsuns/Nissans have always been superior to Toyotas. To round the day off perfectly we won the runner up trophy for best club display. WHAT A STONKING TEAM. (photographs will follow)

    new rear tyres

    What rtbiscuit says is theoretically correct. However most of us are governed by the depth of our pockets as to how many and which tyre we purchase. If money is no object to you then buy a set of 'posh' ones. If you have to think about it then go for the Falkens or if necessary buy the budget tyre. There aren't many places on todays roads where you will come unstuck if you are driving properly but if you are going to play about then you should be aware of your tyres performance capabilities. Everyone has their tyre preferences and will advise you accordingly. I should imagine if you search the forum there are pages and pages of such advice. At the end of the day be guided by what is available and how much you want to spend.

  20. I like the look of that but I am not a fan of small nuts & bolts holding things together in awkward to get at places. Perhaps further development with a few more bends or welds may be a way forward if a more 'commercial' product is considered.

  22. INTO A BELFAST PUB COMES PADDY MURPHY, LOOKING LIKE HE'D JUST BEEN RUN OVER BY A TRAIN. HIS ARM IS IN A SLING, HIS NOSE IS BROKEN, HIS FACE IS CUT, AND BRUISED, AND HE'S WALKING WITH A LIMP. 'WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?' ASKS SEAN , THE BARTENDER.' JAMIE O'CONNER AND ME HAD A FIGHT,' SAYS PADDY. 'THAT LITTLE O'CONNER ,' SAYS SEAN , 'HE COULDN'T DO THAT TO YOU, HE MUST HAVE HAD SOMETHING IN HIS HAND.' 'THAT HE DID,' SAYS PADDY, 'A SHOVEL IS WHAT HE HAD, AND A TERRIBLE LICKIN' HE GAVE ME WITH IT.' 'WELL,' SAYS SEAN , 'YOU SHOULD HAVE DEFENDED YOURSELF. DIDN'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN YOUR HAND?' THAT I DID,' SAID PADDY, ' MRS. O'CONNER 'S BREAST, AND A THING OF BEAUTY IT WAS; BUT USELESS IN A FIGHT
