  1. One of the biggest scams along these lines comes from Spain. Right hand drive car for sale in Spain. For sale. Owner is away and wants quick sale. Full payment by PayPal then go and collect it. Keys with neighbour lol. Autotrader and EBay were rife with them. Worth opening a one off eBay count for upwards of £15k
  2. Yes good luck and I am sure you will get a decent price for it:)
  3. I don't think for one moment it's a case of not liking them. Most of the guys that gave feedback are experienced long term Zedites and the forum keeps records of what is good. What not so good, and what might kill you. 040 is what comes out of the factory and is now an old hat tyre. Technology has moved on and most tyre combinations have been extensively tested by both novice and experienced hard core driver then cross referenced. The results it would appear suggest that any combination of the 040 Bridgestone Potenza being used on a freezing cold winters day in adverse weather condition could under the wrong circumstances stick you upside down in a ditch, where as the proven better make could save your life and that of others. No matter how good we think we are, we are only as good as how we react to the unfolding situation. "What If"! From my reading of the threads people are mostly trying to help and if it comes over strong it's because we all know and have seen the results of lack of tyre knowledge. I changed from 040 to 050 and realise from personal experience that ths is the wrong set up for my car. Had I bothered to read the tyre thread and listen to with the sound advice on here I may have avoided the double 360 last Christmas that so nearly robbed me of my life:)
  4. I made some Apple Apricot and Chestnut - extra spicy Next meet is North of Hadrians Wall then?
  5. Looking at the Hammerite, the only one that really stands out is the Green!
  6. I have not forgotten how could I with a 7 year nuts and bolt restoration on a MK11 lol: You proberbly got it down to 2 colours by now. I am sure it will look great what ever you do. So long as its. not BLUE!
  7. No offence taken I'm happy you and others actually take the time to read my threads, getting feedback and opinions (positive and negative) is great - maybe I should get out more But out of interest why? Jus different, a passion for Mini's or because brining this one back to life is going to be a real challenge? It's because Ricey likes girls cars I just like girls:)
  8. Any more from Surrey and we will have our own page:) We could have inter county challenges!!
  9. On a 458 that I keep clean and polished for a guy I have never had to touch the Engine compartment. And the heads are wrinkly Red, they don't even seem to get dust on them. yet you would think with the exhaust from a rear engine car it would be covered in dirt. maybe you need to throw out the colours that you definately don't want as at the moment you can't breath for choices:)
  10. Thats a fluffy joke! Bar bar bar!!
  11. would that be with a wrinkle finish? yes Rich like the picture of the Ferrari. The 360 was the 1st to offer this factory option I believe. Anyway a guy i do some work for has sent 4 Rocker covers off for the wrinkle Rosso and they really do look fantastic. Its a colour that goes with anything and makes the Engine stand out. Plus it's sexy:)
  12. Maybe they were safety examiners and wanted to keep both hands on the wheel. Or they were day dreaming. Us Surrey boys would have waved. To a fashion:)
  13. Charming Thats you off her Christmas card list.
  14. Anybody fancy gatecrashing? What a bummer mt train does not arrive till 19:00 hrs on 26th:(
  15. Not in this case. It deserves to be matt Rosso Red.
  16. Oh! I thought they were your Dyno Plot!!
  17. Mob!! That's very cockney. I will have you know that we Surrey boys are the Real Deal!!
  18. new place opened beginning of the year on the barfield trading estate near Chessington Zoo They put a new roof with glass window on a boxster for me for £750. It was a promotion deal but it answeres the question. they do roofs and are near you:) Cant remember the name but Google it.
  19. Taras has it at the moment and I think that chap Octet is trying to nick my S/C But he will have to go under due to the bonnet fastenings:)
