My opinion is that by having a paid presence here you gain incremental work, if Jack Royal signed up as a trader no doubt his sales through this forum would increase as he can actively market and promote his work as well as fire up group buys and the like. The model is what it is, there are other models but we feel this sits aligned with the ethos and principles of the forum. Trader fees on sites like GTR and Porsche run into hundreds of pounds or even four figures.

As I understand it all paints can suffer oxidisation, but red suffers moreso than other pigments. I'm sure if you slap on copious sealant etc it helps prevents it.

Managed to catch a photo of the staff bringing Al one of his round of drinks...

I just checked and saw how many beers I had during the night

Nope it was because of the difference in value.

My mate ended up in court because he took a RR Vogue instead of a RR Sport ! I wouldn't mind but the insurance company recommended it to him.

A Range Rover Sport is like a Model X - both performance SUV type cars. In your bullets you quoted 'type' but you listed like for like in your commentary? The point on the other thread was taking the chance on insisting on an X when it wasn't clear that you would get 100% pay out etc. Obviously now its been agreed in writing etc. fine, but the point everyone made on the previous thread was that nothing at that point was agreed and you took the chance it would work out. Happy it has, but it was a risk.

I guess the argument is that alternatives were on offer which were turned down, it really comes down to whether the alternatives were a viable alternative because of the fuel source? If they were much cheaper than the Model X hire car and the cost is significant, then I guess the insurance company might have pushed back?

Exactly, type is not defined in any shape or form hence how grey it is and not black and white at all. In the context of GZs issues, he wanted an electric SUV and wasn't interested in a petrol/diesel alternative, even if it was powerful and a luxury car.

Still seems grey to me? A Kia Sportage is the same type of car as a Model X, just that one is electric powered one isn't? Type for me is defined as hatchback, SUV, etc?

In case you want to have a BBQ...

Wasn't that car on here at some point?

I stumbled upon this when going through a cupboard of car stuff I have collected over the years, as I sold my zed a few years back this should certainly be moved on to a new owner. Its a hardback book of the development of the 350z with accompanying DVD. Comes in hardback sleeve (which has slight crinkle on the corner) but otherwise in great condition. Content: Pages 10-11 Sensation begins with a Z Pages 12-31 Lust then Love Pages 32-51 Gentlemen! Start your engines Pages 52-59 The immortal 'Z' If you plan on owning your zed for a while and want some accompanying literature about how it came about, this would be a great addition. Looking for £25 posted mainland UK.

You would want to check in with the bodyshop but I would imagine you want at least 4-6 weeks between spray and wrap as well?

Sorry I am actually now out of this sorry guys

The forum is under constant development still, apparently some theme resets were hit unintentionally last night whilst the team were working on it which we hope to resolve today.

I think Humpy won the RC car?

Just watching people waling between the two cars was excruciating! So yes we parked very close to try and force people to walk around - although there still seemed members of the public that thought it was perfectly fine to sit on the bonnet of the cars (not mine!) which again was just astonishing!

To echo what others said, well done for staying on top of it all Al (Lexx) whilst shunting an aircraft carrier and overseeing a forum upgrade at the same time, who said men couldn't multi-task Fantastic time had by all I believe - some very funny moments as well as some very poignant ones too.

I have a vented bonnet on my celica (comes as standard!) and no problems at all. Obviously a different car of course...I know Bradders on here put vents into his about a year ago, drop him a PM and see how he got on.

Haha NO!

Never fear Bri, there will be the odd NC500 veteran there
