Same old. When I was a kid ( sorry) we had the old local copper who gave you a slap, tell parents and get another slap.. result... respect. The other porblem is that our system is geared up to punish those that have. Beware the man who has nothing, he has nothing to lose. Take away prison terms and what is there left?

And relax!!!!.....

Did get a tip recently for emergencies, half open the roof and the storage space can be used for extra bits. Handy on a holiday as long as the sun doesnt come out and you forget before opening the roof.

Seen tomorrows forecast, find a hill!!!!

Roadster is the best car for shopping!!! Saves me a fortune. If it wont fit she cant buy it. You can get a lot of bloody shoes in though.

Its a great site and very helpful. Enjoy!

If the flood was an act of God then you deserve a little help with your car being o.k.

Can buy cushinoed pads to fit over seatbelts.

Had to add to this thread. Bought some Wheels off Kev recently as he mentioned and his Z is immaculate. Was very tempted but have run out of additions to the house to buy brownie points. I know Kevs reasons for wanting to sell are genuine so any one who is tempted, dont feel the car isnt accurately described.

Will pick up the old wheels Kev when I dont need my boat to get there , hope the fish are well.

Just been out to Spain for a quiet break ( Fuengirloa). First night there was a blues festival which was great. Didnt know it was on but the second weekend was the Harley Davidson Eoropean meet. There was a procession of 10000 bikes on the main road with an estimated 25000 bikes on show. OK so they only have 2 wheels and I need 4 but it showed my doubting wife what a great time could be had when like minded people can meet and celebrate a common enthusiasm. She is now up for getting out and about to the meets. I know the Hatley has a lot of history but what a weekend, superb bands and a great time. We may not have the numbers but if we can get anywhere near this it would be great!

Martin

Will be out and about that weekend on a trip to Gloucester so a few more miles wont hurt. Will pop in and say hello.

Martin

And next time we will bring a camera!

Good to meet you. Shame about the weather but look forward to meeting again when a bit nicer. Off to Spain now to warm up.

Martin

Not saying they are like busses but;

Kuro coupe southbound on the A1 just south of Newark about 1pm.

GM roadster westbound on the m62 just before Manc.

Blue coupe turning off M6 for Blackpool northbound.

GM roadster southbound on M6 just south of Lancaster about 4;45.

I was in my Kuro roadster TUG.

Not counting Kevs Kuro Coupe on Donny as I called on him to pick up some wheels. If I had known it was for sale and the price it would have been mine by now. Have been looking for an 07 GT for some time but new kitchen blown that plan. If someone wants a bargain its there!!!!Thanks Kev for the free labour and the tour of the Zoo!

Martin

Dont worry,

Turned 50 a fortnight ago, more cash, bigger toys! Just takes a hell of a lot longer to get over it!

Sounds good to me,

Will pass on to Rustycannon and Wilky.

Hi Max,

Just talked to the Met office, they are giving one of their famous "unsettled with possibility of showers" lines.

Dont mind where we meet, Rustcannon is commuting to Derbyshire so he may not want to go too far but if there are others apart from the 4 of us we can drift in their direction if needed.

Wouldnt mind a run down to Junction 21 on M6 some time in the future, want some forum stickers but work schedule not permitting recently.

Stopping off in Doncaster on the way home on Wed to look at some alloys, Bargain at £400 ( for the purposes of marital harmony thats how much they cost!!!!!!! ).

Any other takers?

Martin

Well done Max, it is quite nice!!!!! Just figure in the cost of the extra fuel you will be using over the next few months. Had a defective stereo under warranty for six weeks and after mine was fitted, couldnt be bothered to get it changed. Out of Barrow for a while ( work) so they should be safe from a "stereo" hit for a while.

Thursday evening ???

All the best,

Martin

Suspected as much, put car in for a service and warranty stereo replacement a couple of weeks ago, they changed the stereo and got the car back in record time, forgot to do the service!.

One of the reasons the forum is so good.

Was hoping to get down to Jap car in July but the alloys are a trade off for going to a concert on the same day with the good lady.

Ahh well!

Just about to fit 19 inch wheels on my Z. Main dealer ( who doesnt like my not using him) says there is an issue with the performance of the Computer with latrger wheels fitted. Whilst appreciating their point is this a problem

Martinmac

p.m. me mate.

Mate does work on my in a Porsche garage at weekends, salemen are tired of customers moaning about their shiny new boxsters being made to look stupid by a Nissan!!! Kinda nice!

Few of us around the South Lakes, could pop over to somewhere of your choosing sometime during the next few months. I know Max will be in his constantly as soon as he gets the Nismo exhaust on.

Spotted a kuro coupe on northbound A1 at Bar Hill, I was in a Kuro roadster coming out of services. 8-30 on Monday. Didnt get your number as still waking up.

Martinmac

Carried out a few mods on my Z and now looking at alloys. Most seem to look good on the web but its sometimes difficult to visualise them on the car so any and all comments are appreciated. They are going on a Kuro roadster.

Thanks,

Martin

Yes, sorry I didnt see you. Making a fast exit after being dragged round Tesco. Will pay attention in the future.

Martin

Hi,

Just received an exhaust from the USA. Great people to deal with and only took 4 days. Contact is customerservice@courtesyparts.com

They are in Texas and shipped via UPS. Cost was about $1100 for part, $900 for shipping and £130 for import tax. Fitting is straightforward. Highly recommend them.

Martin

Will get a few during fitting and post soon
