  1. Somethings going on with RRL atm. Share trading suspended pending an announcement.
  2. As someone else said you see plenty of trucks with airbrushed topless women all over them, and ive seen a lot of streetfighter style mototbikes with topless birds air brushed on the petrol tanks etc... So its all perfectly fine and up to you really. Its not something id personally do though as I dont like drawing too much attention to my cars.
  3. Spotted this morning around 10am heading along Huntingdon Road, Cambridge, Black 07 plate 313 model Coupe. **07 UJJ
  4. They must be breeding or something as im seeing more 350z`s around now! Spotted this morning, Cherry Red imported 350z Coupe driving through Rushden, **03 XTA
  5. Spotted Sunday lunchtime parked up in Rushden high street. Nice clean Azure Roadster. Import from the looks of it. Private plate. *555 JOP
  6. They were brave then, hope noone runs into their car. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69314-supermarket-car-parks/
  7. This is why i never take my car to the shops, i always take the wifes. If I do have to call in at a supermarket I always park miles away from anywhere, but you can always guarentee when you come out someone will have parked next to you.
  8. Not really lies, but a couple of funny things my parents used to say to me when I was a kid. "If you dont stop crying i`ll give you something to cry about" and "If you fall down those stairs and break both your legs, dont come running to me"
  9. 1k? My R1 only costs me £60 a year to insure!!!! Lovely bike though. Bet your neighbours will love you with those open pipes.
  10. I was going to mention that people might object to that picture of the mouse trap as it could be cruel to the poor cute little mouse.
  11. My hood occasionally did the same when it was very cold. Rocking it back and forwards on the button used to solve it, but in general dont try and put the hood down when its cold.
  12. I bought a motorbike once which the previous owner had finance on it according to the Hpi report I did. I rang up and spoke to the finance company and they said they would have no interest in the bike at all as the finance was with the person who took the policy out and not against the bike. That was about 10 years ago and ive never heard anything from the finance company since. I actually did an HPi check on it a few years back and its still showing as it had finance on it, so ive no idea whats going on with it!
  13. I went for the ferrodo ones. Not cheap but awesome stopping power.
  14. Alright for some. I can safely say I never got any action in my zed at all.
  15. Thats a considerable drop in price.
  16. When I part ex`d my zed the dealer basically offered me about 25->30% under what they would put it on their forecourt for. So basically what ever the glasses guide says. I did a valuation on the whatcar website and it was exactly the same, so that will give you some idea as to what they will give you. For me it was a toss up between either trying to sell privately in a market where id seen some people trying to sell their zed with no luck for about 8 months - or off loading it to the dealer. That coupled with the fact it needed a major service, spark plugs and the road tax was due and the car I wanted in the spec I wanted was sitting there waiting for me to buy it, kind of persuaded me.
  17. They probably got dirty. I remember spending weeks and weeks polishing the wheels & frame on my ZXR750. Never again. It was a nightmare keeping them clean.
  18. Good luck. When I was looking at 313 model zeds, No garage I spoke to would entertain knocking anything off the price of them. In the end I had to pay full screen price for mine at a Nissan dealer. I think they know they are pretty rare.
  19. **05 NYF parked up down Searle Street in Cambridge at lunchtime today. Very filthy black coupe. I felt like offering to wash it for the owner.
  20. Think I remeber that one, they remapped it? But Mike is always having cars break down - like that Fiat 500 he bought from some dodgy garage in Italy and it broke down 10 miles down the road and the Renault Alpine they got from France(?) which also broke down before he got too far down the road. They had to send Paul out with a van & trailer to trailer it hundreds of miles back to the UK.
  21. Firstly im not directing this at sipar69 as his comments were that he didnt think a bit of bird poo was worth shooting the pigeon over - which is fair enough and my wife is of the same opinion. I think in general from what i see when im out & about, a lot of the problem these days is that people have grown up just going to the supermarket and buying something already prepared in a packet. Thats certainly what my missus does. It removes you from the process of how that meat actually got there in the first place. Back in the day, rabbits used to be a massive part of the UK diet. People ate millions of them. Now, a lot of people I know wouldnt even try them as they associate rabbits as being cute things they see in the pet shop. and the mere thought of killing poor thumper makes their stomach churn. Makes you wonder how some people would survive if they got stranded in the wild. The other big problem ive noticed is that more and more people are moving out from towns and into the country side, so they are not familiar with normal country pursuits and the way of life. So, if they see someone wandering about a field with a shotgun they immediately are on the phone to the police panicing thinking its some nutter rather than someone like myself going about my normal business. I can feel sorry for these types of people as very often it is a surprise to them. Theres a village where I look after some land for a farmer and some nights if im out lamping around midnight, I can hear hundreds of shots coming from the surrounding fields from other people doing the same. Sometimes it feels like you are in Iraq or somewhere. For townies who havent experienced this it must be quite worrying.
