Had a look at this and thought 'how hard can it be?' Then I tried it and got quite frustrated!

Managed to do it now though, so if anyone wants the solution let me know.

It wasn't me but I was there about 15 min earlier filling up at the shell garage - bloody expensive!

I've seen a few around Leamington recently, dunno if that's a good thing or not...

I heard a rumour that you may be having some rather serious wheel issues...

Good luck though and lets see if you manage to beat the school girls this year

It looks really good .

Aren't you tempted to leave it on for a while, or at least until wales so that everyone can see it in person?

Just to check, you're trying to use the switches to the left of the dials are you? The ones on the right change the brightness of the dials, the ones on the left operate the trip computer.

Since there's a few people saying it's not their cup of tea I thought I'd better even it out a bit - I really like it!

I think CS are based in the Midlands and I've read good things about them on this forum. I'm sure someone will be along soon to confirm this...

Found this when I was trying to work out how to post pictures, nice and simple to follow:

Looks very tidy, like the seats.

I'm guessing it's your Celica in the background?

Looking really good.

Just wondering, can you wrap the wheels too? Don't know if the wrap could cope with the heat and they'd probably be a right pain to do too but would finish it off quite nicely.

Thanks for the tips, although I'm probably less sure now than before I asked...

It's sounding like most people are happy with what they use so I can't really go wrong.

Cheers, I'll probably go for the red mist tropical then.

Did look at the supernatural but as I'm new to waxing I figured it wasn't worth spending twice as much. Maybe once I've had the zed for a while longer and worked out what I'm doing when cleaning, waxing it etc then I might consider it!

I've had my car for 6 weeks now and I'm slowly learning more and more about detailing it. My old focus used to see a sponge 2 or 3 times a year but I'll be looking after the zed properly!

I've spent a long time looking at the detailing section here, reading Polished Bliss and scanning Detailing World but I'm still struggling to decide which wax to use. I've decided to go with a soft Dodo Juice wax but can't decide between the following:

- Rainforest Rub

- Light Fantastic

- Purple haze

My cars a Gunmetal and I'm thinking that the Purple Haze sounds like it might be good - can anyone with a GM gives me their opinions as it sounds like quite a few of you use Dodo juice products.

Also, I'll be getting some Dodo juice Red Mist as well, do people recommend the standard red mist or the red mist tropical?

Thanks!

Do you have a tonneau cover fitted? If you do it's worth checking that the screws for it are nice and tight - I had a really annoying rattle for a while before realising that was the problem.

Mine skipped quite a lot when I got the car but at the recent West Midlands meet Keith and Rich told me that if you leave the air con on all the time it helps a lot - it drys out the air and reduces the condensation inside the CD player. I tried it and so far it seems to be working - it's only skipped a couple of times since and even then it was only really briefly.

Another solution is to use the tape deck, I found some old tapes at the weekend and tried it out, not only has it never skipped but you get to listen to some classic 90s tunes too!

Hmm, managed to do it in a couple of minutes, think I may need to get out more.

Midlands Breakfast Club?:

The next one is on Sunday 18th April. I've went to one last year (before I had my zed) and it was alright, it'd be a lot better of course if a big group of zeds turned up.

I agree that drifting with other cars about on a public road isn't a sensible thing to do.

But the main reason for me posting is that being new here I was really pleased to see that three of the moderators have said that any members caught doing this at a meet will be told to leave. It's good to know the type of club I've joined and after reading this, and attending a West Midlands meet on Sunday, I'm going to be checking I can make the Wales meet and get signed up to it as soon as possible!

Huskey, the postcode for the pub is NN11 7HB.

I thought it was funny when we ended up at the top of the hill with nowhere to go and nowhere to turn round! Somehow everyone managed to find somewhere to put their car though which was lucky (or just really well planned by Nurrish...)

Pretty sure it's a TVR, but not sure what type.

Some more good pictures there. I think we probably left the reservoir a bit before 2 o'clock, you must have only just missed us.

I also like Neil's car, the front bumper especially. It's also an interesting whitey/silver colour too, although it sounds like that may not have been intentional!

Gav (I knew it was something like that!), your video seems a bit upside down.

I found the following thread really useful when working out how to post photos:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25963

Some goods pics Rich! It was good to put some faces to names, even if everyone has a different name on here to in person...

One of my favourites moments has got to be when people were discussing the lack of a front number plate on Bennetts' car and then player2301 (sorry forgotten your name already!) opened his boot to reveal his police vest, leading Bennett to hurriedly dig out a stick on front plate he was storing in the boot!

It was good to see some more zeds today, and we just about fitted in the carpark!

Most of my pictures aren't great, but here's a few anyway:

I guess the plan's still to meet at 11am? Does navigation duties for Nurrish also mean that your supercharged car won't be turning up?

I was scuppered by the weather as well, manage to clean it but it started raining as I was drying so claying, polishing and waxing will have to wait.
