My boss got caught doing 91 on a motorway and had to go to court for it! 6 points and £600 fine! Ridiculous.

That was a great write up Tom... really makes me wanna go. Was supposed to go last year but thigs happened and i couldnt.

Not my kind of music but i saw Eminem at MK bowl - its a good venue. If you go though, dont get there early as you'll be at the back of the carpark, and be stuck there until everyone has got out... we ended up sleeping in the car until about 3am. ...5 of us in a saxo was not fun!

Happy birthday Martin...

Eminem - Slim Shady LP

I got 98.5 with JWT pop charger and K1 with bungs in.

Will you be buying the car outright or getting a loan? Also, insurance is one of the biggest expenses and can vary dramatically based on age, location etc. My zed was costing me: £250 loan £160 petrol (500 miles a month) £65 insurance _______ £475 on just the basics. Add on your calculated costs of tax/mot/service/tyres = £565 Then the biggest cost of all... mods! I cant calculate what i've spent on mods... And depreciation... i lost £6k over 2.5 years of ownership too... so whats that... £200 extra a month Soooo how does £765 a month sound to you??

My JDM had a standalone foglight unit butchered into the standard housing when it was imported... see pics here: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=17062&hilit=foglight

well said that man.

Very nice Chris... its just missing something though... i cant quite put my finger on what.... ... maybe..... ..ah yes an arcade machine and juke box, thats it!

I just upgraded my cable to HD this morning in preperation....

TCS light? They weren't stupid enough to put the c ar on the rollers were they, thus damaging your diff??

It looks like its just come off a jump the way the rear suspension is right down... its the upward movement that gives it the momentum to get off the ground...

Yep, look for a place called Moss Side... it'll be fine there...

Mine was a poverty spec auto, so it doesnt get any worse.... and i got £8k with 12k more miles...

Yeah cheers Chris, shame we never got to meet up Im only tentative selling..... When I really want to get rid I will put it on Auto Trader at 9k.... I sold 7 cars in a year and a half on there before I found the Zed... im just dragging my heels so I can tell the Mrs im trying Same mate. Sure we would of had a laugh...

Gutted for you mate, and know how you feel. However, i think this is priced too cheaply. I got £8k for my '03 JDM Auto, with 67k and only recent history, on 17's. It was standard body as well (apart from intake duct and eyelids in the end, which i think are more likely to reduce the value?!), so i would stick yours up for £9k definitely. Also, i advertised mine on here, pistonheads twice, and ebay several times with no joy at all, but it sold on autotrader at the forst time of asking. Same for the bmw i sold recently too - went first time on autotrader. Good luck though matey.

When you have a car like that, you find any excuse at all to go out for a drive...

i feel for you stan...

I've wanted some of these for ages...and they come up for sale 6 days after i sell my zed... The same with Rich, Srobrien and Jacr's stuff.... i could have spent a fortune this week...!

Nicely done Dave.

When they're totally finished, im gonna put the coffee table up at £400 + delivery, but im not sure i'll sell the arcade. If i did though i'd try it at £750....

Yeh i've been on there for a while - fantastic site. Some people are so creative. If you're into diy builds, this is a great read... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.p ... 9826.0;all From experience though, the PC and monitor are the cheapest parts to get...simple tally of my arcade would be as follows: Wood - £60 Perspex - £30 Controls - £50 Chrome trim - £25 Paint - £8 Glue - £12 Graphic - £5 Felt - £10 Monitor - £50 Misc cabling - £40 Coin Mech - £10 Tools (angle grinder, several drill bits, jigsaw blades, etc etc) £30 Total cost to build approx £350... Worth every penny though.

Go to Lockwood & Greenwood nix... not that far from you is it? You get a courtesy car and a day shopping in Manchester, all for £220 for a p3.
