Good Man At least mine won't be the only one in the car park! Dave

Well, me and the missus are booked in at the Best Western Queen Hotel near the station, Dave

Why is it when i'm not in the z i see more z's? Followed a 54 plate azure coupe, stubby & what looked like a 5Zigen exhaust (not sure if i should be worried i can tell these things) south from the a66 from darlington to just before scotch corner (where i come off for work) Dave

just an idea, how about trying a black vinyl, or carbon effect vinyl before committing, and then we can have another poll! Dave

Na of course the Blade and Gunmetal's will be at the front, cos when your running round in bare metal and primer its lighter than the finished and painted versions!!!! Dave Sunset and proud!!!!!

Blimey!!!, surely there must know be a biscuit shortage in sunderland now!!! Dave

I managed to to go on during the brief interlude when they were back up,and it seems (after wading through an 86! page thread) it started after someone slated a garage about the standard of work so in fear of libel the thread was pulled and then it escalated in to a squabble between the committee of the Volvo owners club, who shall we say make ebized and martinmac look like young whippersnappers! and some them havent embraced the internet have had a fall out with the younger members about the direction the forum and owners club were going! Like what? Why mine isnt picking fuel up when i go to start it, but when it finally starts runs fine!

some of you may remember my little altercation in my old ford ranger http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11517&highlight= So it got written off, and after a small battle with the insurance company (in the end i got the truck back and cash, a guy at work is rebuilding it, looks better than when i had it) So anyway needing a diesel runabout to go to work and back so i picked up an ex-surrey police Volvo V40 and tootled off to the internet to find a helpful friendly forum to help me sort out the "issues" it has. So the volvo owners group, good technical support, but turns out i found in the middle of a bit of a moment, now the link to the forums gives you this http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/ Makes me really like the warm fluffy atmosphere round here! meanwhile anyone know about common rail diesels............ Dave

+1 Here too As my own experience showed, the monkey i bought mine from had no real knowledge of 350z's, turns out i knew more at the time! and we'd have quite happily bought from someone who could have answered all our questions with the aim of not just shifting a car of the lot and as we all know, when you buy a 350 you dont just buy a car you buy a lifestyle!! Dave

At least that makes it not so bad if i ask is that a hi-flow cat???? Dave (Also off to get his coat)

2 balloons of oxygen/acetylene, one spanner borrowed form a toolbox in the garage, and a not quite long enough extension lead!! biggest problem was as it was a digital clock, you couldn't preset it with the timer hence i'm out there setting and pressing start! then exit stage left!!!!! Dave

so we had an old microwave, that i didnt want the local pikeys have it away from the tip, so took it to work one saturday morning and http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=w-OK-pX1cTY Never laughed (afterwards) so much!!!!! Dave

it's managed to stop me working for the last hour, and much chortling to be had http://www.barryboys.co.uk/mx/ dave

Obviously it's a boiler thing, cos mine's just called it a day! Chances of finding spares for a 1991 boiler, i'm guessing none to bugger all! Dave (whos also freezing his plums off)

And you get biscuits and tea at phil's!!! also i recommend the butty van round the corner! Dave

ESR POINTS i think i spent mine on fig rolls yesterday morning...... Dave

Is this Phil's latest shipment to Jay? Actually its stuff going back, after jay's changed his mind!!! a couple of nuggets about the pic, piece weighed 230tonnes, 16 axle trailer weighs 65 tonnes, so that merc is pulling 295tonnes-ish, more axles than we needed under it, really just there for stability really. The truck is the biggest in the fleet, 690bhp at the rear wheels, merc officially rate it as good for 300tonnes, we reckon it'll be good for about 500 before the torque converter gets warm, you want one? 18 month waiting list, delivered, unsignwritten, before we fitted couplings etc, 275K, then we did about 15k of mods, (Sounds like jay again) Dave

At the mo, like the job i'm doing but the people im doing it for ther's another story I work here http://www.gcsjohnson.co.uk and my job is to organise the routing and permits for abnormal loads, throughout the uk, its a job where no day is the same, and the feeling i get when i see something like this moving, and without the part i play in it it wouldnt go anywhere! But its a small family firm, the boss is still firmly in charge, hates computers, objects to spending on anything that doesn't earn money, including office staff!, and unfortunately i tend to get pulled from pillar to post, doing jobs here and there and not getting my original job done. Dave

Makes me smile every time i hear it fire, even at phil's today stood behind it Driving home, couple of kids stop and watch, option a:just carry on pottering along, or b:drop it a cog and give some beans B wins every time!! And those kids will think sports cars are ace!!!, Dave who for legal reasons cannot comment on how i've worn the rears down to the tread bars

+1 Just discussing it here, and as janice said, "I'll be damned if some politician is gonna tell me what i can and can't drive" Like has been mentioned, i wouldnt complain if they abolished road tax and put on petrol, then no one can get out of paying it Anybody reckon all those halfwits in westminster will be swapping there big jags etc for the likes of prius, and other hybrid crap.........i don't!!! Dave, who will still own one day, an audi quattro, skyline, and anything i fancy especially if i can find an ecomentalist to pi$$ off!!!!

+1 imho, roadster with a spoiler looks like Dave (Ducks for the backlash)

Now on my work desktop.... mmmm, just the thought of the noise involved proper car pr0n

Darn , no one told me that , I guess i should sell it then Get your name down for Wales Holly and sock it to em. +1 Amanda will no doubt drive my car for a bit so I can snap some photies on the move +2 Janice will probably be driving most of the day, i'll be the one hanging out the window with the camera!!
