  1. Thanks everyone for their comments. Tried engaging them into why they came up with this crap reason but they would not be drawn on it. Have until October to go with them. Changing now would cost me too much. I will not be re-insuring with them again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:angry::angry::rant: Sorry, had to get it out of my system.
  2. Contacted my Insurance Company yesterday about the new wheels. I was told they would not insure me I am gutted. I expected a rise in premium but to be told they would not continue to insure my car if I had them fitted was a bolt out of the blue. Has anyone else run into a similar problem?
  3. Depending on where it is, and as long as it is a weekend, I am there
  4. Don't leave Beavis. Everyone wants you to stay. I hope you can work things out.
  5. Saw your car too Trev but never met up. Never mind. As you say there is always the Forest of Dean run.
  6. on a 240Z base its one of the best in the country and it sure pulled some people onto the Z stand At a distance you would not have known. I said to Steve who has put that on our stand! He then enlightened me
  7. Yes they were Kev's old ones. I spoke to the owner on the OC stand. I was interested as they are very similar to the ones I am getting.
  8. I didn't know in detail. I just googled it with some various suitable wording until I found a site with explanation! T'Internets a wonderful thing! Well ecky thump!
  9. Never mind mate. Maybe next time.
  10. Fancy picking me up for this then? My son wants to come along on this one. Sorry mate.

    KEYED!!!!!!

    Gutted Feel for you mate. Hope you get it sorted.
  12. www.350z-uk.com stickers at dawn Have you got yours?
  13. Chill Winston Plenty of time yet. The NW run numbers pretty much doubled in the preceeding 3 to 4 weeks I know...............just like to get things sorted. I have my fingers crossed anyway
  14. Route is pretty much sorted. Now we have a good amount of interest I can look into sorting out Saturday lunch at a pub/hotel. Bristol would be good for an overnight stay on the Friday. I will drop into a couple of reasonably priced hotels and get details. Who would be up for a curry the night before?
  15. I occasionally fill up with the new version of Optimax when the price is good, but usually it is supermarket unleaded.

  17. Its a japanese industry standard for quality, similar to TUV in Germany and DOT in UK etc...... A simple google turned up this.....: "Safety Standards: JWL-Japan Light Alloy Wheel (JWL) Standard for Passenger Cars. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport requires that aluminum wheels for passenger cars bearing certain plated numbers sold in Japan bear the JWL mark. The JWL mark can be displayed on wheels that have passed the standard through a self-certification system. JWL-T-Similarly, the ministry requires aluminum wheels for trucks and buses (with 1 and 4-number plates) to bear the JWL-T mark. Even if a vehicle is classified as a passenger car bearing certain plate numbers and is equipped with LT tires as standard equipment due to its GVW (gross vehicle weight), it must use aluminum wheels bearing the JWL-T mark. VIA-A third-party entity called the Vehicle Inspection Association verifies whether a product meets the requirements prescribed by the JWL or JWL-T standard. This association permits a product to bear a VIA mark if it passes rigorous quality and strength verification tests conducted in accordance with the JWL or JWL-T standard." I knew you would know
  18. No, M48. There is a Travel Lodge type place at the services at the old Severn Crossing.
  19. Mate, I think thats a "little" excessive. I think a 2 ft distance would have done for you, like your normal parking! From my own experinece, the more you try and protect something, the more likely damage is to occur...................Murhpy's Law.
  20. Aiming to be there by 7.30 am too. I want to avoid those queue's which go on and on.............................................and on..................you get the drift!
  21. Looking good for Top Gear returning to our screens though....................or was this test just for the TG Magazine?
  22. Note that Shipping Insurance is not offered. You might as well go to Z1auto and be sure on what you are getting. Lets face it, it will probably go for $1500 approx in the end. Save yourself a lot of potential heartache.
  23. Do not like the seating position in the Honda S2000. You cannot adjust the steering rake. The Zed wins hands down for me.

    Monaro VXR

    Want to take the new one out for a blast when it hits our shores in the next month or so. Would I buy one..............if I did not have a company hack the answer would be yes, but as I do it would be somewhat OTT. Nice motor
