AK350Z

Did you drop a nut down somewhere ??? (OK I did when I fitted mine ) luckily I have M8 nuts in the workshop. No no, I just meant it doesn't come with any, so you'll need some if you want to attach them to the end of the battery clamp screw. I didn't check what the actual size was.

The Zed has been rested up for nearly 2 months now I think, and with the volt meter dropping below 12V, I thought I'd better get a trickle charger in as other than a wee turn over and warm up drive if the ice buggers off, it's going to be sitting for all of January when I'm in Germany. Found this one on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ctek-CTE-XS800-Battery-Charger-Stage/dp/B000RI2B70 Not as cheap as the one Alex was selling, but it has topped up the battery (took about a day), and has switched over to the maintainence mode now. Nice and compact, and you get clips and eylets that can be screwed on to the terminals if you get some (M8?) nuts.

Cash towards a track day, a Le Cruset griddle pan , and some nice jeans.

Hmm, £710 for a full carlimits day at bedford. At that price I think I would expect to be turned into a driving god. Maybe worth pushing the boat out for though, even if it is bloomin' miles away! 700 sheets would buy a whole handful of MSV days at Oulton Park though, and you can get extra intruction there, although i would imagine its more track specific than CAT.

I must admit i was leaning toward the trackday, worried about the stonechips though! Hardly think I'll be biting at the heels of the car in front though. I'm also considering something like CAT driver training, but i understand its quite pricey, like 300 plus for a half day?

Fran has given me some money for Xmas on the condition that I use it for either a trackday or a driving experience. What do you think would be best? Trackday seems best value, but of course you are wearing your own car and you don't get the experience of something exotic. Hmmm...

It's ok Chris i've got it on my hard drive anyway. I'll have to get it watched before i go and see the new one this christmas.

+1

pretty sure we have had a couple of jersey members...

Welcome mate, get some pics up!

Nice one Jay, don't forget the wedding doesn't have to cost the earth to be special.

Aww, poor alfa. Body shops are going to be busy at the minute!

Ouch mate, hope you get sorted out ok.

Well done that man

My friend, who currently owns a R27 Clio, is possibly looking to get a 350. Is there any fairly standard zeds about at the minute? He test drove a non GT black 07 from a dealer with low miles and I believe it was 15.5k.

Congrats Chris.

It's got a UK rear plate though.

Just landed at 11pm last night Stew. Just had a couple of hours to kill before the course, and then straight up to Buckie. Where about do you work? I walked past the Talisman building in town, no cars over 3 years old in their carpark, was like a showroom!

Who'd have thought? Think its a 53 plate.

Well, we got up here no problem. Nice to see the weather has something else in store for us in the next few days though. Had a wander round Aberdeen this morning for a bit. very nice.

Very nice mate, bet it'll be short lived though!

Almost spat my tea out at 1:18. The rest's not bad either Should come in handy for next week...

I know Stew, I've looked on Google maps!

Have got one night in Aberdeen for a course on monday, and then continuing up to Buckie for 9-10 days at the Beatrice offshore windfarm/oilfield. Staying at the http://www.innattheparkhotel.co.uk/, then at the glam Marine hotel/pub in Buckie. Look amazing on google earth I'm getting picked up in the hire car, so mini meets might not be possible. boo!

How much snow is there? I know its bad at the moment, but theres a bit of warmer weather over the next two days isn't there?
