  1. Yay I put two and two together and worked out it might be Ken of Dawnc fame TT doesnt really help in Anderson drive traffic but car did look good
  2. Was just coming round the roundabout and saw you up Anderson drive managed to just catch you before you turned onto Lang Stracht, car looking
  3. This used to be one of my favourite roads (there are 4 pages of it on that site). In fact I went for a blast over it after my dads funeral although that was in a focus not the Z And YES those wooden posts are really there to mark the edges of the road when the snow has been falling. Wynnats Pass another favourite Used to love this road in classic mini or an imp, will have to try it in the Z.
  4. Car was in for an MOT yesterday and I got a call about lunch time to say that it needed new front discs and pads, they had rung round the local motorfactors and dealers and couldnt get them till the end of the week at a cost of 570 quid. Quickly gave ZMANALEX a call and he offered me a set of performance discs and pads for not much more than the dealer quoted price for standard parts with the added advantage that he could have them delivered straight to the garage the next day. So just picked the Z up with a nice clean MOT cert and have just bedded the discs and pads in and have to say Im very impressed with them, huge difference over stock So once again Alex saves the day
  5. has anyone actually taken another set of gauges and swapped them into another car?? The gauges in the mini were coded to the car which could cause problems. Im assuming some of the import owners might well have done it
  6. I did this on my bmw mini and would love something similar for the z, keep me posted if you decide to do this.
  7. I had a paint correction done on my Azure and was very impressed with the difference it made.
  8. GRR someone beat me to it lol, was going to suggest a swap for mine as they struggle to open the boot with a standard spoiler on the back.I press the button to pop the boot and it raises a few mm and then you have to stick your fingers in the gap and press the button again to get it to lift. Next person that buys a carbon boot PM me and Ill do a swap Does anyone know part numbers and price for stock dampers (Ive tried the pennies in the spring trick and it improved the problem but didnt cure it).
  9. Im interested in the K&N and the strut if scottsoulby doesnt take it, if you can do the K&N for 150 delivered to Aberdeen we could have a deal
  10. Whatever happened to this?? Was interested in carbon interior
  11. I saw this down the beach the other day, gave it a wave and got one back in return, but not sure if its anyone on here
  12. How much did they charge for the tint?? Any pics?? My spare Rays are still there, will have to go and pick them up sometime soon
  13. I had a spreadsheet for the Cooper S, I stopped using it when I realised that I had spent as much if not more than the purchase price of the car. With the Z I just act like a Magpie , if I see something shiney I just have to have it
  14. They also do powdercoating on wheels, well they send them away actually but do a fantastic job - see my updated thread for pics

  19. Second dibs Who made it and are there anymore out there??
  20. Interested in the set of 3 caps BUT where are the replacement bottles from , cause they look
  21. Ive thought about getting a short shifter for a while, what didnt you like about the feel of it??
  22. Ive got one, and Im in Aberdeen Ive also got my cubby out now if you havent managed to get yours back together yet lol. Ill be at work just off Great Western Road all next week
  23. Is this true for a UK spec car??? I have a NISMO CAI that the previous owner fitted in a short pipe form, and handed over a box of bits to me when I bought the car, if it really is possible to just diconnect the passenger bottle and block the pipe this would be a perfect solution
