Cool... good write up, i'll keep my eye out for some of these.

Love the 6-series Hassan.

Something stiff that needs lube? Thats what she said.

No ban for you, that made me laugh!

The NRAs answer for everything is more guns. Their response to last weeks massacre was to state schools should have armed 'good guys' in schools to fight off the armed bad guys.

You should be able to buy a replacement panel relatively cheaply. If you have a spare LCD monitor open it up and see if the ribbon connector is the same as the one on the laptop - if so - try it out to see if it works - is so you have confirmed that the panel is at fault and not something worse on the motherboard... Look on ebay for replacement panels or any good independent specialist should be able to source one.

I heard JC on the Chris Evans Show a few weeks ago and he said the christmas special is going to be on at the end of Jan/early Feb!

I think the effect you're talking about is HDR (high dynamic range). Supposed to be done with a decent camera that can save pictures in RAW format, or take bracketed shots. With 3 images, your software app will then change the colour levels in the 3 images, and then merge them all together into one shot. Some phone apps can do it too, but not as well as having the real camera to do it properly (im not into cameras so have never tried this - but i really want to do it!!)

I liked it...

Huge +1 My thoughts exactly.

I like it. If only they could make a device that gives me a blowjob whenever i do the washing up, then i think id enjoy that too.

Do you have footwell lights too? I've got them and they're controlled by a little button in the cubby behind the heated seats buttons... not sure if they're another rare JDM option or not?

sh*t a brick that looks ace Jay.

Has anyone thought about looking into replacing the actual springs in the little black boot poppers (where you put the pennies?) They are too expensive to replace for what they are, but i bet a spring exists that you could replace the existing one with for very little cost, reusing the same housing. I've just googled 'custom springs' and the first link i clicked seems pretty promising. I added 1 random spring to my basket and it was only £3! We'd obviously have to send them one of our springs and have them recommend a replacement, but im sure a bulk order would be cheap as chips and plenty of people on here would want a pair... Wasso.... where are ya? :1: http://www.springmas...gs/12-inch.html

Hi mate, I decided that it was down to how i get in and out of the car that was causing my pain... i tend to get in and out very quickly, contorting my body just to save a few seconds. I've made a concious effort to get out in a more controlled manner and it seemed to solve my problem i think. Is the zed comfortable for you on long journeys? I drive a lot for work, but usually use my other car to keep the miles off my zed. However after 2 hours my lower back starts to ache. When in the Zed though i can drive for 10 hours straight and not suffer any pain at all.

Hmm pretty tempting Steve. Do you know if there are any shorter sessions available at all? I know MSV sometimes offer a 25min taster session. I want to do a trackday but i dont want to be on it all day long... just an hour session, or a morning etc would suit me.

+1 on checking the earths but also check all the fuses in the drivers footwell, as you may have popped one while fitting, and i know the speedo has at least one fuse that controls it.

Air is colder and denser. More air = more fuel.

Cheers Bob. I'm happy to hold onto it for now. Might re-visit the idea of fitting it next summer if it doesnt sell. Anyway, you've already had one of these why are you going down this route again ? :1:

December bump...

Dont forget that you have to use Super Unleaded in the zed. Have you factored that into your calculations. Also... +£80 per month for your insurance... thats bonkers. I'd be driving a cheap run about until your insurance comes down, it's not worth throwing your money away. You'll get sub-20pmg if all you're doing is city driving.

Not heard of SMB before... NAS drive... basically an external HDD that plugs into my router. Its brilliant... any device in the house can connect to it... i can stream a movie to my ipad from it whilst the mrs is streaming something else. Stuart... mine is the next one up - the ES6800. Not sure of the technical differences, but try to see both in action as the 63 might have a larger bezel and not look as good etc.

Personally i've been looking into whats required to become a car dealer. e.g. go to auctions, buy cars, sell them on. It's like my dream job! Not looking to do them up or anything, just detail them and advertise them for sale. I've got a large driveway and can fit 4 cars on there, so it would be a starting point... i wouldnt necessarily need a lot. i've bought quite a lot of used cars over the years, and i always get talking to the independant dealers and it sounds perfect for me. I sit on autotrader just watching car prices in my spare time anyway, so i feel like i've got the knowledge to start me off in the industry. Even if i only sell 1 or 2 cars a quarter its a start... the best thing for me is i can do it alongside my full time job. Imagine that your job was to do a bit of googling to find a car, hop on a train to go and pick it up, then drive it home and prep it for sale. Depending on your target market you could be driving a different high-end car every week... Range Rovers, Mercs etc... Maybe something worth considering.
