Good stuff Lexx...enjoy!

We have two cars, a ford focus for the wife and I did have my VX. Would I put Alfie in the VX, not a chance. I want to be able to take Alfie out with me for drives, with the option to take the wife also on occasions that dictate it. I also want a car that I can go out in myself and really enjoy. The Zed doesn't cover that, nor does the VX. It must have four seats and still be sporty but I dont want a bland audi/bmw rep mobile. Yes when the child is really small, you can go off doing your think in your Zed or whatever. But when they start to interact, help clean the car, love sitting in it with you and saying 'daddy car' you do have an overwhelming urge to want to take them out with you - so here I am...you got it all to look forwards to

S15 a bit too much, G35 not off the list, just a bit concerned about the resale hassle, think it would be more than the others and the cost price is a bit high. That said, it would mean I would be allowed to park in the car park at the ace cafe meets, I think!

It is technically winter, but hell I just sold a VX at a premium so its doable. What I would suggest it write a structured advert, yours seems to have been written as and when you remembered things about the car. Group together the good points into Interior/Exterior/Engine etc and give the ad sub titles so I can get straight in my head what I am looking at. Most people have video functionality on their phones, do a walk around and fire up the engine so people can hear it ticking over etc. Stick it on You Tube and you can link it in adverts. You havent mentioned any 'bad points' which a ten year old car must have...be up front about it so anyone viewing already has taken that into account. If you want to give the impression of 'discount' offer alternative pricing, say you will knock off £400 or something if you put the original wheels back on. You can then make up the money selling the Jades. The wrap is the potential killer here, my own personal opinion (and maybe of other potential buyers and not in anyway meant to offend) is that the matte wrap thing has been and gone, it was a bit of a fad from what other people say to me. There is a buyer out there for this, but you are going to have to play the waiting game to hunt them down. Or you remove the wrap and take the hit on losing your money on what was a very niche styling choice on your part.

Finding myself looking at a Celica GT4 (which would get some exterior enhancements to bring it up to date) or an R33/R34 dependant on budget. Very nice but a bit pricey http://www.skyline-owners-club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46124

When I bought my Zed a few years back the guy had no fuel in it at all, sitting on the needle on red. I drove it off with sat nav searching for the nearest petrol garage and just hoped. I had 19L in my VX when I sold it at the weekend!

Just need to find a dealer local and take one for a spin...I don't hate autos, I just never choose to drive them and I enjoy manuals. I might like them, but not sure!

Something I'll be looking at in the future no doubt. I've spent enough on her this year already (P3, respray, wheel refurb, 4xMPSS, Cobra, brakes....) so it will be something to buy next year along with a plethora of other upgrades no doubt. Zeditus is a cruel illness. I put on braided lines, about £70 for a set, its a bit of a faff but transforms the braking.

I would be having it away with Dana Scully whilst Elton John and Harry Potter hold off the undead

Nothing a little addition to the front lip wouldn't sort...

Yes saw that, obviously looking past the silly stickers its a decent car, although I have to try and get my head around having an automatic Looks nice http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/R33-Nissan-Skyline-in-black-/271331264450 Although the Celica GT4s are knocking around a bit cheaper http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1997-Toyota-Celica-GT-Four-ST205-GT4-Late-Spec-/321253794886

Knock twenty quid off and they should sell - I always used Nissan fluids in my Zed, tried other branded stuff but this was much better, especially for the gearbox over winter, couldn't recommend it enough.

Indeed!

VX Sold

Stunning, less than £6k?? £4600 . Needed a fair bit of tlc but not a lot of money , but then I can do most things myself Wow, that is making me think. I have a family of car mechanics, so mechanically, I have no labour costs. Can do simple spray work myself (interior panels and the like), could be a good project! Oh and no badge snob (I did own a VX after all) but the hyundai is not for me.

Scary. Just so weird it happened in a car crash. Sad news.

Stunning, less than £6k??

Its a shame about RX7s and 8s that they have rotaries, just puts me off! Yes I know a well serviced one compression tests etc, but just doesn't work for me. S15 is a VERY good shout...

Absolutely effin awful - what a clown

Set fire to the seat

Cheers Dave, think we are just going to pay up - its only £30 and a lesson learned. I guess what got my goat was the complete lack of support from the university on her behalf, given she has been there as a temp for over a year now. And that she has been managing a team and running the whole show 'informally' since the boss walked out 'stressed' 2 months back. And the lowest paid person there...but don't get me started on that.

Could be, hence my disclaimer about the assumption!

PS, all the numbers look wrong on that stats list. Think the calc is not to a ton (given a ton is 1000kg). 276/1525*1000=181 not 184.

Not sure if this a repost - but v cool none the less, watching the corner revving, I remember seeing a documentary on the telemetary of F1 drivers of his time, and he used to make up to a second on others by his corner revving - where others kept it smooth it edged the car over the edge and back again with up to 20 or 30 blips depending on the corners. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8By2AEsGAhU
