  1. Wasn't there that thing in the UK called the she-wee? A funnel type device that the ladies could push in through their trouser flies. You can wee anywhere without undressing, including up against a tree. Just what Nixy needs! Found the link http://www.shewee.com/how.html See point 2 - aim away from the feet
  2. After the Wales disaster - defo! 1. H5 2. martinmac 3. Chesterfield 4. M13KYF 5. Beavis 6. Renegade 7. Toon Chris
  3. I`m not sure I quite understand the need for spacers as shown in the link. It looks like the original speakers already have spacer so can't these be reused (if you buy new speakers of the right size of course). Also, it looks as if you can *almost* get the speakers out without taking the door off. Possible? Or foolish to even try...?
  4. You dirty man!
  5. Two days walking in the Cheviot hills for me I think. Its a nice twisty drive to get there too Oh yes, and some beers in the Boathouse at Wylam tonight to celebrate, um, Friday. I think I`ll take the train for this though
  6. Cheers Me too, if you need it. You wouldn't know it from my posts but I proof read documents at work for grammar etc. I`m not much good at commenting artistic merit though!
  7. Autogas 2000 are the experts so if they say no, it really is a bad idea. I ran a V6 alfa for 6 yeras and it was sweet but to avoid you thinking that it is just a money saver, that MPG figure is wrong. You will get about 2/3 of the mpg per litre on LPG as on Petrol. The calorific value of lpg is lower by volume so less energy in the cylinder when bang happens. I found it made my car as economical as a diesel when you took fuel costs and mpg into account. On the plus side, a petrol car is cheaper to buy than a diesel (generally), a petrol car is more fun to drive than a standard diesel (generally), and the cleanliness of the lpg is an environmental bonus. Also it is kind to the engine and the opil so engines tend to last for a long time (the alfa isn't mine any more but is still running fine and is nearly at 250K miles now). On the minus side, a chipped diesel is a better deal nowadays. The LPG tank takes up too much space, the tank range is generally poor so you are forever filling up, oh yes, and apparently it will melt your 350z valves. See - you aren't missing a lot
  8. Very nice! Suspension is rapidly rising up my list as well but a few more things to get first. Did you have the Y pipe with your exhaust Lexx? I didn't but am considering it as part of my next Phil visit. BTW, look what I found... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... -case.html
  9. Selling on the back of a supercharger and not one engine pic? Nah...
  10. Is that bolt action one on top a spud gun?? It's got a spud attachment on it
  11. I think I would want a faster shift than that if possible. There is quite a delay between activation and gear change.
  12. Nice car mate. Tried to catch your eye but I don't think your head could swivel round 180 degrees
  13. Voted. Got you from 4th to 1st
  14. Lakes is good as the countryside is so fab, no speed cameras to talk of and loits of ice cream and tea shops (I like a nice bun and cuppa).
  15. Don't know about with Zs but the old merc ones used to be a good bet. Not too large and easy to manufacture fittings for them.
  16. Yes, yyes! Gutted that work sent me to Plymouth of all places and I had to drop out. Really gutted. I`m in North Wales 21st to 25th June visiting friends - is that too soon?
  17. Get your Nova lookin' like it should... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Max-Power-Nova-Mo ... dZViewItem
  18. I`d guess at slave cylinder too.
  19. Hmm. Not me then. Looks like I`m not the only Azure in the village...
  20. I just don't think they thought this through. . .
  21. Sweet Baby Jesus and the Orphans... http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=29207
  22. Evans Halshaw have Zeds they got from buying up stock when the Dixons group went bust. I tried one out once as it was reasonably priced and very low mileage, but the gearbox was alike a stick in a bag of bolts. They said, "I can tell you are mechanically minded, you will recognise the traditional notchy gearbox of the 350Z".
