I had a Sprite as long ago as 1971 and a Spitfire in 72. Only problem I had was that someone attempted to remove the headrests I'd fitted by getting their hands in between the hood and the glass, no damage done though, maybe the kid I gave 50p to mind my car outside Anfield chased them off . No problems with either of Caroline's convertibles either. Pete

Strange, is the Zed an import? Pete

That's not really a problem. My wife's 58 reg 2.0 Z4 is still sitting on the forecourt at Lookers in Chester, 4 months after we P/X'd it for a 350Z roadster. Only 7,000 miles on the clock and immaculate, they've dropped the price to just a few hundred more than we got for it..... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2142060.htm Pete

Yeah, optional on earlier GT's, standard from around 2005 onwards (I think) Pete

Yeah, they're really nice, what are they? Pete

Love the colour, great price too! My Blade 350z has several different shades, something to do with the way the paint adheres to different surfaces I believe. Pete

It's definitely a buyers market right now and will be for quite some time. I'll keep hold of the Zed for the foreseeable future as owning a car for many years holds no fears for me, I owned an RS Turbo for 12 years and got a very good price for it when I reluctantly sold it in 2001. In fact I lost more in depreciation in the first year of Zed ownership than I did in 12 years of owning an RS. I expect fuel prices will stabilize in the next few months, the government should be aware that if they force people and business off the road then we could enter another recession....less vehicles doing less miles on the road means less tax revenue. Have to laugh though, this government claimed it was ending the war against motorists...in fact they were just ending the war against offenders, and declaring war on the rest of us Pete

Welcome along, Nice looking car with incredible low mileage...even lower than mine Pete

Pete

Welcome . Pete

Looking at a few things . First off though is a set of wheels for Caroline's roadster . Pete

I know someone who has had a 159 from new. When I asked him at Christmas how many miles he's clocked up (he's in marketing) he said 30k and I've hated every single one of them. Seems he's had multiple problems mainly with electrics since he got it in 2009. Pete

PM sent, Payment sent. Thanks, Pete

S3 at 19 years old, very impressive!! I had a fiesta 1.4 sport. lol i had my mini cooper s jcw bbr +1 i had a R reg 106 diesel. I had a Lambretta SX 150 Pete

Looks better left as it is. Try paintshopping some other colours though . Black is good with Blue and Sunset but to me not on red, sorry Pete

I like the updated interior and the front and rear lights on the facelift 2006 onwards model. The extra power the 2006 model has is largely negated by the extra weight it carries, it's about 75kgs heavier for some reason. Pete

Oh well Pete

Took me till 2005 to get any form of broadband, having been on dialup since 1993. I'm 7k from the exchange and my broadband was initially 0.5 megs. BT have now upgraded the old wires and I'm now getting 3 megs. I'm lucky though my nearest neighbour has a different exchange and he only gets 0.25 megs, BT won't switch him onto my exchange because he would become an anomaly as he lives 75 metres over the boundary... Pete yeah the BT engineer said the wires were of terrible quality too, he was surprised i got anything actually. I would have cried if i didnt Well, I know that when the wires were renewed, circa 1970, the price of copper went through the roof so they used a cheap alternative probably aluminium, most of the line was upgraded a couple of years ago so it's pretty well as good as it gets now. There's a roadmap somewhere detailing which exchanges are to be updated in the future but ours isn't among them and unfortunately I'm the furthest property from the Buckley exchange. Pete

Spotted at midday on the opposite carriageway at Ewloe Interchange heading towards Chester or Merseyside. Only saw it at the last minute and only the top half so no number plate. Pete
