Sorry if it's been posted before

Paul

you m8's with steven edmonds i take it , he mentioned something about white carbon wrapped r35

Yeah steds' is one of my best mates, how do you know him?

Yeah Jay totally dynamics wrapped it, done a very good job!

Yeah the pillars, mirrors, roof, spoiler and lips were all wrapped gloss black,

Some people will dislike the black pillars but seeing it in person it breaks up the White really well.

Purdie, pm me your number I've lost all mine!

Thanks for the feedback

Paul

ive had the car wrapped, the first in Scotland to have White carbon fibre, let me know what you guys think

How she looked before

How she looks now!

Close up of the White carbon fibre

Cheers

Paul

Yeah it was me, Go up to the Inn at the Loch for lunch most Saturdays with my family, was just driving back home and spotted you and gave a wave!.

I always gave a wee flash of the lights or a wave to zeds but your one of the first Zed's to wave back mind you .

Cheers

Paul

My boss just sold his after he had to shell out £4000 for four new tyres !

The tyres are not £1000 a corner! Front are £500 and rears are £560

Hell yeah! Mk1 cortina? I like them! The Mk2 not so much....

Yep its a Mk1 exact same colour scheme as this one stew

Paul

I love Cortinas so one on steroids sounds good to me!

We have a Lotus Cortina in work just now, guy wants the bodywork restored. ill send some pics if you like stew?

Paul

Im not sure where exactly the guy is so unfortunately couldnt say, but if Irfan knows him then he is quite likely not too far away from me.

How come?

i love your car Paul remember seeing it in the distance in my mirror at the hoon and i blinked and you were on my back bumper

Thanks alot Paul, ive always thought your car was stunning and it still is with the change, everything you do with your 350z always looks great ,

ill need to get a wee look at it in person now that its finished, have you fitted the R35 spoiler yet?

Cheers

Paul

Defo buy one, best thing i ever done was buy the R35. owned it a year now and minus being crashed into by a hackney taxi ive loved every second of it .

In the manuel it states that tyres dont have to be filled with nitrogen (im running mine with air in one tyre at the moment as i have a leaky valve )

Insurance isn't too bad mine is £2000 ( 22yo, 0 ncb, 3 points and 1 claim)

Tyres are expensive (at 12k miles it cost £3000 for 4 new tyres and service)

the car has done 21k and hasnt needed new brakes!

It's running 21mpg at the moment ( I was running 23 in the zed so not a massive difference)

Im varying between £65-70 to fill the car up (V-Power)

Service intervals are every 6k ( and arent too costly)

Only other cost to me was a new windscreen (after the hoon last year ) and that was £1200 done through Alex F Noble.

Any other questions you have im happy to answer

Cheers

Paul

Sincere condolences to all his family and friends

Paul

Guilty and thanks lol,

Spotted the custard zed a mile away in my interior mirror, so i slowed down to give you a little wave .

car looked immaculate

Paul

6-8 weeks my tattooist has always told me but ive went on holiday a few times shortly after sittings and aslong as you wear factor 50 over the tattoos and dont get sunburnt you should be ok.

Miami ink actually realised suncream for tattoos

cheers

Paul

*UPDATE*

The parts alone have been priced at £7'000

Thank god the taxi driver has insurance

Cheers

Paul

He has an r35 gtr

 

 

I hope it's cheaper to repair a rear end shunt than the front end after the bonnet lifters activate

Im not paying for it so im not to fussed

Paul

Thanks Jay.

I nearly had the other thing done for SMC but didn't have time lol.

Was in Glasgow today going for a bite to eat with my pal,

When at the lights at the T Junction at the top of Sauchiehall St a taxi went into the back of me.

Needless to say i was no longer hungry and went back to my garage to have My uncle look at it.

Some of the things that need replaced;

Full new exhaust- Not a good start!

Carbon Fibre Floor Pan- cost keeps rising.

Back bumper including parking sensors.

I can't remember the rest off the top of my head

were waiting for the prices to come back from Nissan but im guessing its going to be in the thousands.

The damage doesn't look back untill you go under the car.

All in all not a good day for me or the taxi driver.

Ill post pics up later.

Paul

Shouldn't matter whether you go through insurance or not you have all her details i presume so i would just tell her it's going into Garage X and will cost £Y and let her pick up the invoice for it.

hope it gets sorted a.s.a.p

Paul

What i want in my next car isn't much...will need to have 4 seats, looks as good as the Z, fun to drive, more power, and be more economical ....which rules out pretty much everything on sale today (though I'm trying convincing my other half that a GTR does all the above )

 

Hopefully decent hybrid/EV cars will start appearing soon, i'm sure i read some where the next EVO is suppose to be diseal hybrid so that it can pass the emission tests

The GTR is less economical but not by much .

The next GTR is meant to be going green though..nissan trying to save the enviroment an that

Paul

why did you * his plate when its his user name by the looks of it

I know that but at the top of the page is says don't post full plates, i was just following the rules .

Paul

Finally been spotted yay, yea saw you coming a mile off mate, not many zeds pass through airdrie haha and me being me will wave at any zed driver lol

Ex-zed driver . i was driving the R35 that passed you at the lights outside monklands hospital mate .

Paul

Spotted you the other night when i was heading home from cumbernauld tesco via the diversion.

Passed you at Monklands at hospital the other night. never noticed you till you were past .

Gave my indicators a wee flash and noticed you had done the same down further up the road. car looked lovely

Paul
