  1. It beats Iceland and Greenland hands down but that's about it really . Pete
  2. I'll add to the original 10 1 Reality TV Shows 2 Attention Seeking 3 Lack of Respect 4 Terrorism 5 Nationalism Pete
  3. It's an 11 year old (almost) import. You can pick up a 313 58 reg GT for that price. Pete
  4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Ponzi There have been many imitators since, but the basics are the same. Pete
  5. +1 had this happen last night -4 at 3:30am leaving work well i would leave if i could get in the car This is a problem that seems specific to the Zed. I've had loads of cars and never had a car door freeze solid before. The Zed freezes up far too easily. Pete
  6. One of the great things for me is pulling into car park full of Audi TT's and thinking what a great choice I made . Pete
  7. Never mind the petrol cap freezing on, I just popped down to ASDA an hour ago and couldn't even get into the car . Pete
  8. Did they actually sell any of these new in The U.K, don't think I've ever seen one. Pete
  9. Kinda reminds me of the Triumph TR series . Pete
  10. Exactly, you can have the best tyres in the world on but still easily loose it. Smoothly is the way to go but it's very important that you anticipate junctions and leave a large gap to the car in front, this will also prevent your windscreen getting covered in slush, etc. A few years ago I had a very important appointment at a hospital in Wrexham, it was snowing like crazy, the car in front stopped and I carefully slowed down before stopping. 10 seconds later I heard a series of bangs as the cars 4 or 5 behind me piled into each other. All the signs are pointing to a very cold, snowy and possibly lengthy spell of weather over the next few weeks so If your tyres are still legal but down to 2 or so mms then get them changed, a set of so called ditch finders with 5mms on them will work better in the snow than a set of barely legal super tyres. When you come back from from your drive knock off as much of the slush as possible from around your wheel arches and give your wiper blades and headlights a quick clean. Pete
  11. Jeez, you'd have thought they'd have fixed it before bringing out the 370Z as this was a well documented design fault. When I bought my Zed which had like 40 miles on the clock it needed the double button push to get the boot up. At least the roadsters only need one push. Pete
  12. And I always thought this was standard on all cars . So this was an option then? Pete
  13. Possibly double that as long as it has all the plastic clips. I believe Nissan charge over £100 for them. Pete
  14. Yeah, it can get pretty snowy up there, I've seen snow on the roads in May before now . Not going to happen in 2013 though . Pete
  15. They'll have to be, facing England at Twickenham and Wales at The Millenium Stadium will be a daunting task. Hmm, why are Wales being allowed to play at The Millenium, I thought that England were hosting the tournament? Pete
  16. A bit of research leaves me to believe that his only car is a 6 year old VW Golf. He said this in a recent interview. He is also an advocate of a 55 speed limit and has houses in Dublin and Surrey. "So he doesn’t have any Ferraris tucked away, then? “No. I completely respect people’s wish to have a go in a Ferrari, and driving one is highly exciting. 'But I’m sorry, it’s a high-performance car and where are you really going to drive it where you can experience that performance? I’ve had high performance and the right place for it is on a racetrack.†Pete
  17. I think this'll be known as the group of death. Wales only have themselves to blame for dropping into the third group of seeds, they are far better than that. Anyway, I don't think Australia are that good and although things can change I think NZ will be red hot favourites. Pete
  18. Doesn't he live in Ireland these days? Pete
  19. There was a 3rd vehicle, a Mercedes that was following at a distance, apparently they were travelling with the BMW that the 2 men were killed in. They started a fight with the survivors of the other car. The crash was caused by one of the cars clipping the central reservation and spinning in front of the other one which then T-Boned it. Going at these sorts of speed (140) on a wet motorway is verging on suicidal. It also looks like one of the deceased was not wearing a seat belt. Pete
  20. 17. jetset+1 18th & 19th no accommodation (pls confirm accommodation Pete) Accommodation booked for the 18th Pete
  21. I bought this system a couple of years ago. http://www.maplin.co.uk/wireless-tyre-pressure-monitoring-system-390208?c=maplin&utm_source=endeca&utm_medium=endeca_search&utm_campaign=A55JX&utm_content=Vehicle+Security The main advantages are you don't need to take the tyres off, it's a 5 minute job to fit them, they seem to be very accurate and they can't be removed without the special tool that comes with the kit. Disadvantages, well the sensors themselves are quite large and a bit ugly. Pete
  22. They look O.K but they can get quite tatty unless you keep on top of them. Pete
  23. Great pics!! I walked up to the top of Ingelborough on Christmas Day a few decades ago (and spent Boxing Day in bed with a fever). Pete
