I know what you mean mate - I took my sodding centre console out after my recall work as they had'nt fitted the radio back in properly by about 1 mm (thats how sad I am !) I know you want it spot on mate? Let us know how you get on? This could be the rebirth of your mean machine - all those new bits you will be wanting to add to it? Hey you can do us a photo guide on front bumper removal

Ouch - lucky escape there Dave - seriously the bumper will polish out and you can realign it to move forward again! On a more serious point regarding your son Ryan being left alone in the house and having access to a powerful motor vehicle! I am already onto the RSPDAW (Royal Society for the Protection of Driers and Washers!) They need to know about this! Just kiddin I am sure they did'nt feel a thing! Just glad your son is ok and well no more damage was caused Hope you get it sorted soon anyway. We all make mistakes as the Darlek said climbing off a dustbin!

M80*** private plate and then 2 mins behind it MW55*** Every time I am in the van I see Zeds!

Sounds like your a bunch of old rockers - rocking all over the World - litterally! The car is ace but its better when your part of this club

Top idea! Buy a few GT'R's as runabouts!

One thing I have noticed - especially after Mikes and Bec's wedding last weekend - I was stuck in heavy traffic and was going to be late so had to ahem... press on shall we say to get to Wrexham on time, but eased off rest of week and well I still got between 400 - 425 miles to a full tank? So bottom line is drive like Grandma or drive like Grandad (on speed) and it wont matter much As we all say here if your worried about economy dont buy Zed's, diesels are only good for long trips not around town , fuel is dearer, servicing dearer and parts are too, so you need to keep a diesel for a long time to get that lot back? its about personal choices and what suits you and your family at that time?

Open a Prawn and Pawn shop - feed them while they are browsing.. see always full of great business ideas!

oi! Cheeky! Being friendly club member as always! Must perfect the art of flinging club cards across when roof is down!

probably squirted it all over your doors and hinges like mine!

Well just noticed (sad) that they have managed to get oil sprayed all over the drivers door handle (spattered on rear wing) its run down the door edge all over the sills! Just as well I did'nt get any on my clothes! Petrol cap covered in grease and passenger door has similar - just cleaned it all off - wont be using them again - fed up with this slap dash attitude these days no one cares anymore! Just as well I did'nt have my suit on today just my scruffs at home! BTW what oil do you gents use?

Damn I keep forgetting about them ...Lockwood and Greenwood Ok then next service giving them a try! I would'nt mind but I am on the high miles service plan which is slightly cheaper!! Hopefully the brakes wont be too bad to fit - but £25 for OEM is not bad from www.brakesint.co.uk - they are just up the road from me so handy!

Yet another service ... 27K miles! £333 ! Needs new rear pads apparently! Got them from Brakes International £25 OEM set. (they were going to charge £170 at Nissan fitted) Now I have to read up on the tech forums to suss out how to do them? I understand they are supposed to be easy peasy? Does handbrake need adjusting after? Wonder what the service interval on a Bentley is?

700 miles per week just to work + a bit at weekends - looking about £5000 per year so far on Petrol! Love every minute and it helps me cope in long traffic jams! (Especially when I can drop the roof) Excellent long distance cruiser! (Great for Scottish excursions)

So you like yer big knobs then! Its a weird mix - its like the interior has been streched a bit - quite like the covers over the 3 dial pods on the dash - how long before we get ESR copies of those for our zeds? Front bumper looks a bit Jag/Aston/GT-R mix ?? Oi Where has the bonnet bulge gone? Is the new engine a slimmer design? Back spoiler is handy for resting your mug of coffee on when washing it, quite like those rear lights now - but will date it quickly, interior - well as mentioned would be OEM for 1989 MR2 MK1!!! Funny we can be sure of a few things before we even see it? The paint will be crap! Front bumper has even bigger spatter area now, the CD changer etc will still not play MP3 and there will be no Ipod connection as standard oh and CD's will jump! The SatNav will still be from a 1999 Xtrail and a faff to select No glovebox that I can see! Oh and will devalue our Zeds soon as it appears! But overall not bad.... still wanna see a ragtop version though?

Wow!! thats a serious BBQ - professional Aussie one that! Non of yer Aldi disposables there eh? (btw do you have a stash of boat pictures?)

MW54*** we exchanged waves - very nice and shiny black

defo bit of Z4 going on and a few other bits - but lets see what it looks like for real and in the flesh? Wonder what the ragtop will look like? Keep my 350 though

Mart can we have a BBQ on your ship/boat/dinghy/peddelo?

car jacked? Its as not that bad in Lancs you know ! Worst thing is avoiding Chavved up Corsa's!

Yikes how did I miss this one?? (regular thing?) Cant make it I'm afraid this time round ... shame

Move up North - you will get your wish!! Looks good btw (Blackfire for me)

Thanks Colin thats very nice of you (even if its just for cakes!) Where were the bridesmaids when you needed them thats what I want to know? Takes a bloke from Bury to think about her dress not getting ruined on the gravel! I could have nicked Mart's 350Z fleece though and used that- damn never thought of that one! (Ordered my own club fleece now for emergencies!) Thanks Mart

Thanks for that Tilly!! Its like being on Chav telly or 'Ow doo' magazine on here Last time I play the gentleman ... see my previous comments why! nuff said..... No more cakes or sweets for you lot

Thanks Mart - sorry still asleep this morning!
