sl114 Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks guys, does anyone live near Radlett? Be good to meet a few people off here to have chats with etc and see their cars? And to be taken for a spin etc in different verisons as i dont think the dealer has any 05 plates anymore, but i hope they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leebar Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I'm in Luton so not a million miles away. I'm in a 06 roadster, but more than happy to go for a spin (any excuse!!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Just to be really nosey, you are a Digital Media Project Manager, what do you actually do?Thats fine you can be nosy, Its basically an Interactive Project Manager but we now call it Digital Media as it deals with all types of media not just interactive. So your IPTV Video on demand, website, text to screen, all that stuff really. What i do is the client (or channel) will come to me with any new types of work, i'll scope it out, cost it up, assess the risks, issues, dependencies and work out timelines accourding to my resources etc and put all that together. They then apply for the money, if they get it, i plan it all out and make sure it happens. Its all good fun and im quite new to it, however there is always so much to learn which keeps me going. Plus, Luton is very close, Id love a spin sometime. Im just near St Albans actually in a little village called Shenley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one proper head turning motor Thats ok, usually its women asking who i work for rather than what do i do, lol. yeah right, i wish! I can match the offer, but i am really after an everyday car (well i say everyday but you know what i mean) and the vette is a good weather only car and to do it up will cost about £10k as i want to do it properly. So id rather spend it on something i can drive all the time and right away. Plus i am selling my current car to get half of what i need for a zed. In fact i have a Zed (ZR) so im technically selling a zed to buy a zed! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Haha what do i do, that is the question. Im a Project Manager. I manage the scope and success of completing a digital related project. For example launching a new interactive channel, video on demand, red button interactivity, mobile content, websites all that stuff. I have a few people interested in the MG at the moment and they are willing to give me £8k for it. Its had a bit of work done and even though its the base model, i have fitted new cams, exhauts system, induction kit and a few more tweaks. Its running around 165bhp from 103bhp (yeah i know its nothing but a big jump) and up from 95lb/ft torque to 145lb/ft. So its pretty much running like a tweaked 160 now. 1/4 mile in 15.1 seconds and 0-60 in 7.2. Its a big jump but sometimes it has to be made, im not one of these put foot down and race everything drivers, i prefer to actually drive safely and not endanger anyone else on the roads but i do enjoy the odd 1/4 sprint. Its very fun also to watch people in saxos and fiestas rev at the lights at you though as the zr seems to attract all these people, so i rev back, then watch them light up their tires on green and i just calmly drive away.
