Wow thats a machine and a half! Funny when I had my RX -8 (I know its not in the same BHP league) but even looking at your mates engine - the damn engine itself is only the size of 2 Starter motors really and the rest is just pipework! Such a smart design if only it was a bit more frugal on fuel! Oh well come on Mazda keep developing it! Top Machines!

No I certainly wasn't a Yuppie. I used to work for Lotus so was a bit of an enthusiast. Nice one Trev and obviously picking up the chicks in your Lotus then by the looks of things! Yeah good times. Need more than a nice motor to pick em now though

Champagne country as well. Run and fill up with the bubbly stuff..................sounds good to me We are off to the Loire valley soon actually Lets see if I can convert the roof compartment into a wine tank

to the forum Plenty of people from the South west here - be able to advise you. Good luck with the purchase and get some pics posted up

Just Seen it - not really that much on it was there? No Sir still dont like it? Did you see when it jumped over the hill - thought it was going to fall to bits and slide sideways into a tree! Nice colour though? Maybe we should organise a 350Z run on that track - or whats left of it? Be a great photo shoot!

to the forum young sir

Legally you have to, regardless of whether you're going to drive at night or not. For the sake of a few quid and given how easy they are to fit and remove, it seems daft not to. I know - I've got some black vinyl at home I can wack that on! I know the French Police dont mess about! Beavis your right I could save £1.50 by driving on the right

Thanks chippy when I had my Nissan Ditchfinder - I used to dip the lights via a switch but these you cant do anything with can you?

HI folks We're off to France soon in the Zed so just wanted to ask Do you bother putting any blackouts on the headlights? A lot of talk about ferry ramps and Zeds' being too low - is the standard ride height ok or just a worry if its lowered? Thanks

Cool little stories there chaps - keep posting - does'nt matter if you don't have pictures just tell us your cars and any little nuggets of info about them! I see Clios, MR2s and Corsa's seem to be the order of the day

Well we laughed at them last time round but I suppose they are the best option as long as people dont mind others looking at their boobs to see whats on the badge!

wow cool pictures and nice little stories to go with them folks! Excellent keep posting them Rtbiscuit - fellow MR2 man - I love them - looks great in Lagoon Blue Trev - your another one Stealth Rallying guru - thanks for sharing those NismoDave I'm impressed that MR2 stayed out of a ditch they were always a bit twitchy !! The Skyline loks da dogs BTw! Marmarkey - you like your Clios eh? The new Suzuki Swift - looks great outside but we looked at one recently - and the inside well ........black plastic be my friend! Mart -Hammerite on the softtop! Man that is a crime against humanity! Ok so here are mine - as you can see I have had a few cars sometimes more than one at a time 1971 1200cc Beetle - mechanically excellent - loved it to bits. If it had rained that day and as I braked when stopping at ights etc my feet would be cleaned by a wave of water splashing over them from the rear footwells - ah happy days! (Mines the pale Blue one) Slight correction this picture is in 1986 as I passed my test in 1986 (so ignore my previous 1985 comments!) which means all you 2 year olds were actually 3 so there! 1971 1300cc deluxe The one I still have today - best ever car - very low mileage! (Had another 1972 1300cc but cant find the pics ( looks just like this one though in Pastel White) 1973 1300cc - changed the colour of this one from a horrible blue metallic to this - back garden respray - retrimmed the interior, welded new floor in , new wings etc usual stuff (also had a 1991 Vauxhall Cacalier 1.6 in maroon - yes maroon good car actually but boring! - no pics!) 1958 Wolseley 15/50 - ran it for 3 years no trouble at all - on damp days it had magic mushrooms grewing in the back carpet! 1964 VW Split Screen Devon Camper 1200cc - resto project obviously - erm it stayed like that for years! Not much changed when I sold it in 2000 1958 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire 346 - 3.5 Ltre staight six fab looking car, went like stink and out handled a lot of modern cars but most unreliable piece of sh** I ever owned) Ok so we all make mistakes this was my biggest ever- 1995 Audi A4 - engine blew up the week between Xmas and new year 1999 - I've hated Audi's ever since and Audi UK - over priced cheaply made expensive rubbish thats all Audis' are. The 80 was the last decent one they ever made. 1980 T25 VW Transporter van - 2 ltr aircooled - loved it but had to go when I moved house. Ok my first Jap car - brand new MR2 roadster with hardtop - miss this car... Brand new RX8 - loved this also and miss it 1991 Nissan Figaro - 1 little old Japanese lady owner - 40K from new all the paperwork - mint it was but had to go ..sniff sniff 2005 Xtrail Sport - woosh MAx power! Very capable and practical car - would have one again! Nissan dropped this colour after 12 months and never told anyone or provided touch up paint! Da beast! 2006 Nissan Pathfinder - other than a broken windscreen on holiday - rock solid machine - engine pulls like a train! Reg my 1998 Transporter van 1.9 td - it aint fast but its better made than most cars have been since 1998! Of course my beloved Zed - love it to bits even though it costs me a fortune to run

to the forum

This thread is making me feel old !!! Past test in 2004!!! I was 2 in 1985?? I was'nt!

Looks ace - how do you clean them with a tooth brush?

Looks like a really quality product - you see some that look a bit erm ...low rent ... but that looks like avery good fit and finish

Looks fantastic - infact its just like North Manchester Love the Mustang btw one of my old faves

Yeah more Ragtop owners!! Re: the hood - dont use any cleaners for it and dont wash it with wash 'n' wax! Use the old fashioned method - get a paper tissue soak it in water and leave it on to soften the poo - then just wash it off with water - simple yet effective - just like me! Not sure about kick plates but I am sure a few club traders can do you a good deal? Mats - hmm again traders on here - never buy Nissan - or if you want just get costco ones like me (over my proper ones) yes I know but I am just mad like that! Before you spend any money on it go and get this kit - its excellent http://www.autoglym-shop.com/?gclid=CP6H0JbJmZsCFU0B4wod7GSUoA

1. xstric9x +1 2. Ebized +1 3. Nixy and Markie (in one zed or the other!) 4. M350ZB +1 5. Maccaman 6. Greekman (but Mike needs no be there as well! lool and i ll also try n talk Madmarky, Cavey and Darren in to it...hehe) 7. M13KYF (I'm not being Greekmans bate car this time ) 8. Stanski +1

Interesting... get the ideas rolling folks a different route would be good to try out - bit nearer the coast maybe - as weather is more changeable so if it rains its bound to be sunny after an hour or so - just like Scotland (Any excuse to drop the roof )

Looking good mate

tut tut young sir - so your relying on your Iphone to keep its battery life long enough to control your car remotely? Hmmm interesting

Wow fab pictures folks - Blimey Chris you love your Beemers! I do love the Golf more look great. Max Power days eh? Max what a shame - damn hope you got out of that one with no scrathes! Thanks for sharing those pictures keep them coming - and that means you too Mart - get a scanner borrowed and scan thos NIssan 3030SX's in! Borrowing my mates scanner next week so you can laugh at some more my old sheds including the classics and the vans!! I'm sure the Mods have got pics of their cars from ye' Olden days?

Cool nice one mate Unfortunately my scanner packed up last year otherwise I would have some more dodgey pictures of old classics and VWs and yet more dodgey haircuts! (Bit like this one!) (early 90's)
