If I was you I'd try and make it to one of the bigger meets and try and get a ride in a FI and NOS car so you can see what they're like and have a chat with the owners. Then once you've made a decision have a chat with Abbey (if they're near you, maybe RS tuning if you're further North) and see what they suggest.

As per the PMs, I'm in if there's room for the £600 package for 350.

Doesn't yours have a smoothie maker controlled from the steering wheel?

Personally I'd wait for their offer, if it's less than you paid for the car then argue you'd only just baught the car so that should be the value (but they might not agree to that as people could buy cars for more than they're worth and split the profit). If you're unhappy with the offer, gather prices for cars of the same model, spec, age, mileage and condition from Autotrader/Pistonheads etc and send them the links as examples of what the actual market value is rather than the value they've taken from glasses guide or where ever. Remember to use any factory fitted extras in your favour, sat nav etc. I had to claim about 12 years ago from Admiral and managed to get more than I paid for the car as it was fairly rare for an MR2 Turbo to have TCS and cruise control (if I remember correctly, there was something fairly rare anyway) etc. Either way I wouldn't settle for less than I paid for it.

Well that's cheap!!

Really?!?

I found out about these guys the other week, I love their rendition of Fairy Tale of New York, think I actually prefer it to the original which is a suprise considering it's my favourite christmas song (like many other peoples I guess):

Happy b-day.

Tarmac, I've just realised I hate your website! Javascript links are awful for people who like to open multiple links in tabs in the background (ctrl+click links). (Just offering friendly advice )

Something that nobody has mentioned is that if you do develop a scratch/tear it's cheaper to re-wrap that panel than to respray. I'm guessing if something hit's your car hard enough to rip the vinyl it would be hard enough to cause a rather bad scratch on the paint work anyway. BTW, RT-P is fairly close to Twickers if you like rugby, could be a good excuse to get away for a weekend.

I was looking at a set just yesterday, about £2500 was the cheapest I could find.

Let us know how the Ohlins go, I thought they were meant to be pretty hard for road use but great for track.

I always wanted to do that to a Z roadster, put an engine in the back with a modified boot with glass panel and turn the engine bay in to a boot. You wouldn't be able to put the roof up but hey.

Well we are in Non Z-Related Forums/Off Topic Discussion.

Although this is a crap design it doesn't sound like a fault or something you need to watch out for when buying the car. Happy to inculde it if people feel strongly about it.... Chris I'd consider it useful info when deciding on a car, if I was specifically looking for 1 with sat nav I may change my mind and go after market knowing this.

How did you watch a 5 minute video, come up with a witty response and post it 1 minute after I posted the vid?

Is Pete Pete your nickname? I don't suppose you're a gardener? I think the gardener's called Doug A bit of context:

I'm guessing yes.

No Postcodes on the sat nav.

£2000, could be worth it for parts I suppose, the headlights and alloys look untouched so that's almost £1000 already assuming the tyres are OK. Not sure how much a HR engine with 40k on the clocks worth.

Is that sales figures? Or does that take in to account numbers written off over the years?

Have the very picture on our office wall. Definitely a project we'll do in the future. Just remember to respray or wrap the bonnet. Although I do quite the mad max styling on that.

I've always wanted a Sag, I doubt the late 200X models are as bad as the older TVRs are.
