Yeah, I have two pound coins stuck down there for over 6 months and I try about once a week to get them out

You are right, it is in the middle so I can't drive over it, it would probably pop the tyre anyway.

I rent a parking space in a private car park near my flat. Recently the landlord of the car park has started to fit key fob controlled gates. Great I think, less chance of vandalism etc. Got back from a few days away yesterday and the gates are fitted but with a 'stop' bolted to the ground where the gates meet. Something to stop the gates opening the wrong way. I carefully drive over it but half way over crunch and scrape and twang and the thing had mauled the underside of my car (and bent the 'stop'). I can't see any major damage thank God, but still not happy I tried carefully to drive out today but the stop means I can't even get out of the car park, it catches on the bottom no matter what I do. Solution? I took my tools down and removed the damn thing. It's only a matter of time before the landlord puts it back though - and I have to admit to it as removing it was a very public action! Anyone got a Newcastle city-centre car park space to rent

I didn't know you did detailing Ho? Where were you when I was asking recommendations in the area? I found a good guy in the end but would have kept it in the forum-family so to speak if I knew you did work like this! Shall I get in touch for the next job I have? I only had a few hours of swirl removal on mine last time...

Jeez man, it must break your heart I do hope you find a way to keep it as it's such a good car. To find a bright side to a gloomy cloud, at least if you get a different car the local traffic police will leave you alone (until they realise it is you driving the at 100mph over roundabouts)

I've seen that before...

Um, anyway, pubes aside... 1. Intake 2. Exhaust 3. Brakes Those top three in any order 4. Plenum spacer 5. spacers

They will have trashed the place

Damn, it's true (the checking I mean) (can't believe I wasted my 1000th post on a joke! )

But who is on your wall Dave?

You should try owning an Alfa mate... all you ever get is how unreliable they are and expensive and oil thirsty and blah blah blah. I did 240K miles in mine with NO breakdowns or faults ever (except when a stone went through the rad).

...after a most enjoyable morning exploring the Z's appetite for donuts (considerable) at a practice day for the OPT Drift Club ...I watched the speedo climb from 110 to 140 with real vigour, then slowly edge up to 150 and finally to just over 155 ...as we lapped Millbrook's banked bowl at a true 151mph. No, its been treated like a little kitten

I wonder if she would be quite so keen if she saw your avatar

One day he will approach the croc from the blind-side and ....

Thank the lord you didn't choose Carbonique. Its way too similar to Diamonique which is a bit of a laughing stock for cheesy jewellery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamonique

What, like "Touching Carbon"

very nice result - good for you

Yeah! stone the terrorist!

I had a tape thing for my ipod and it was a million times better quality than an FM Transmitter. I think it must be down the tape device, yours must be a cheap one. Here is a guide though:- http://my350z.com/forum/audio-and-video/93941-make-a-line-aux-in-for-your-2003-bose-headunit-step-by-step-guide.html I used that and it was very easy - easier than the lengthy instructions might imply. Hint, get a Phillips screwdriver 6 inches long or more and if it has a magnetic end, so much the better. That really helps when putting the centre console back together.

Oh I don't know, mate. I reckon you fit the bill for a scooby driver
