Hi & to the forum.

Absolutely gorgeous

Cheers Dave for your guys generosity, along with United, in letting Port Vale through to the next round of the League Cup

Hi & to the forum.

I arrived back from America the day before 9/11. The following September I flew to America on the 14th and a lot of friends said I must be mad. I figured it was probably the safest time as security would be high around that time. You'll have no problem travelling to France Nic, I don't even think planes are a target anymore.

Wanda Ventham - never was sexy though

Beemers always seem to make it difficult for you detailers Tim. By the way I was talking to Barry from Auto Detox earlier today about detailing my Zed. He said he had been speaking to you earlier, it's a small world.

I always used to think the blue did nothing for the Zed but have definitely changed my mind over the years. Very good example you have got yourself

Certainly worth the effort as your Zed is looking very

Nipped to the shop last night & just as I'd got back in the car a women with her son pulled up. Straight away the young lad was giving the thumbs up to me which he repeated as soon as he got out. No matter the age or sex it's great to have the Zed appreciated by others.

When I bought my Zed the salesman rang up about 2 weeks before Sept 1st & said the car had arrived. He then asked if I wanted to wait the 2 weeks, & as hard as it was, I had to say yes. I'd already waited since the week after Easter so what's 2 more weeks, absolute agony. Hope everything goes well in the morning & you enjoy your new baby.

Thanks for all the work you have put into the forum keeping us all in check. As you have said, it's in good hands.

Hi & to the forum.

Easiest way is to open a free Photobucket account, upload your images, then copy the img code into your post. We like lots of pics.

Hi Dave & to the forum.

Hi & to the forum. The Plenum spacer allows more air to the front 2 cylinders which, on the Zed, are a bit starved. Should give more mid range torque.

Hi Matt & to the forum.

A two pence rise in fuel duty will come into effect from midnight, the third increase in nine months. Stephen Glaister, director of road users pressure group RAC Foundation, told the BBC the government's latest rise "will hit everybody hard". When VAT is included, the increase will actually total 2.3p. The average price of petrol across the UK is about 105p per litre. The government says the extra duty is needed to help fund public investment. 'Huge affect' AA president Edmund King said the timing of the rise was "pretty dire", at a time when the UK economy was trying to exit recession. If the money was going into public transport, drivers would be better off as there would be less cars on the road, less congestion for them Richard George, Campaign for Better Transport Mr King said its members were already having to cut back on car journeys due to the high price of fuel, and that this would only increase following the latest rise, meaning the government's revenues will not actually rise. The Petrol Retailers Association pointed out that the price of fuel would increase again when VAT increases from 15% to 17.5% at the end of the year. "It would have been preferable for the government to defer this increase until 2010," its spokesman said. Jo Tanner, director of communications at the Freight Transport Association (FTA), said existing high fuel prices were already having a "huge affect" on its members. She said the freight transport sector had already seen its fuel bills rise by £800m since last December, at the same time as a 50% increase in insolvencies. Richard George, a road and climate campaigner at the Campaign for Better Transport, said the government should be spending the duty increase on public transport, and not just putting it into the government's general budget. "If the money was going into public transport, drivers would be better off as there would be less cars on the road, less congestion for them," he said. Supermarket group Morrisons said it would not be increasing the cost of fuel at its forecourts until 6 September.

Just thought I'd point out, for those who hadn't realised, that petrol goes up 2p a litre from midnight tonight. Good time to fill her up if you are running low.

Really sorry to hear your sad news Dave. Pets become such a big part of your life and losing one is devastating, I know how upset you must be.

Hi Pete & to the forum. All those cars & knowing Nixy as well, what a life I bet you can't post any pictures of her though.

Beautiful looking Zed you have got yourself (aren't they all). Just take it easy for a few days, until you get the feel of the car, and you will be well set. Mind you driver training is a very good idea.

Happy Birthday Ross, hope you have had a really good one.
