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

No, M48. There is a Travel Lodge type place at the services at the old Severn Crossing.

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.

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!

Aust Services M48

Looking good for Top Gear returning to our screens though....................or was this test just for the TG Magazine?

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.

Do not like the seating position in the Honda S2000. You cannot adjust the steering rake. The Zed wins hands down for me.

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

There has got to be more people interested than this........................Come on you South West lot. Don't let the side down!

I like carbon fibre, but not that much

As you say they do not currently have the powers that the police do........................but watch this space. It is only a matter of time. They seem to have replaced a lot of the routine duties on the motorway that the police used to do. In all fairness though, in the South West (M5)they do currently seem to do a good job. Help broken down motorists etc on the motorway. Time will tell.

Heard from Adam at Z1Auto. Wheels being delivered to him at the end of the week.

Do the Ring if you can. You will really enjoy it. I did it back in 1996. Would not have missed it for the world, especially the carousel.

Will have a spare seat for the parade if you need it

Try Adam at Z1 auto. He can source one for you at a reasonable price. He has just quoted me Adam@Z1auto.com

Look forward to seeing the photo's

I thought it would be stiff when up? Depends on the age of it older ones dont work as well, but never younger ones put them to shame with stiffness and durability

Top man! Did the number plate come with it?

Had a reel of this stuff to do the roof lip on my wife's old mini. Now where did I put it......................................

It is down to personal choice. They are not for me but I am an old git........................so my wife tells me!

Thanks for the support Chesterfield. Would it be a good idea to have a seperate posting area for regions on the forum so each person can see what is going on in their area? Just an idea.

It would be good to see you. It is only once a month, not every week.

Hi, Attention all South West 350z Drivers. I have organised a regular South West Monthly Meet at The Royal Oak Pub, High Street, Corsham. Wilts. It has excellent off road parking, serves great beer (only for those not driving) and is easily accessable from Swindon, Bath, Bristol, Chippenham etc. It will be held on the first Sunday of each month at 7.45 in the evening starting on the 1st July 2007. Let me know if you plan to come along.
