Tried the Turtle Wax as I passed halfords on the way home, looks miles better. Cheers. Just need to attach the black badges and it looks mean as hell.

Funny how we look at the price of petrol, given that on a normal night out your average male will drink more beer than your car will do in petrol over 200 miles and it will cost you three times as much It's a relative bargain the price of petrol in comparison!

Is that the Turtle Wax stuff mate?

Having bought a somewhat tatty black 04 ZED I have spent a few weeks getting it back to how it should look. I put some Super Resin Polish on it but its literally filled all those scratches I couldnt see before with white polish, and there are a fair few, now they show up. I have had a look online and Poorboys Black Hole seems to be a good option to get rid of all the marks. I do have a tub of this kicking around at home as well...would it be any good at sorting this sort of problem out? It looks like just a standard wax? http://www.lusso.com/oro.htm

Excellent work there, I have just purchased two black Z badges and a black 350Z badge so was wondering what they looked like on a black car. I was though wondering, I might put the '350Z' badge not on the left but on the main bodywork below the rear Z badge to make it all very symetrical, what do people think?

iphone holder + cassette to iPhone adapter = £18, good deal!

Yep...

Daft question to the educated on here...but as a 3 week old owner need to know. Got 6 spoke alloys, need new tyres, if I get a set that fit the standard alloys would they fit fine on a set of Rays if I got a set further down the line?

Awesome, cheers pal

I am not sure am I using it right, if I go to the box top right with the magnifying glass, type in something like JWT which I have seen in plenty of posts it returns no matches?

Copy all your music onto an ipod, buy a holder which sits on the air vent next to your steering wheel, buy a cassette to ipod adaptor, plug it all in, bingo. Total cost = £18 Works a treat for me.

Good work fella, that first few weeks of driving is just a dream isn't it I'm still loving every minute in mine three weeks in...

Not got Rays, just the standard 6 spokes (look on the avatar picture). You have Rays for sale with tyres on or just the tyres?

In the Metro this morning, read this, I think the police need to be investigating how much over 100mph he was going when he totalled it. Dad probably was wondering which of the Gumperts he trashed...was it the yellow one or the other one?

Rays Alloys?

I do like to see myself as some sort of Brute aftershave model that middleaged women just can't resist, then I go inside strip off my top in true advertising style over my head by pulling it up and inside out from the bottom only to reveal a hairy slightly round guy who would be a welcome addition to any boot camp workout session

Wife just calls, im in the office which overlooks the M4, she says "look out the window at the road" - so i do and my Zed cruises by with her driving it. I simply said "put the phone down and concentrate on the road woman!" - although kudos for the thought.

When washing during the day I do seem to attract the attention of 30 something women walking along with kids who seem to like to stop for a chat...

I am changing the Nissan badges front and back to Z badges...does that count?

Stuck my Astra on AutoTrader, Pistonheads, gumtree and an Astra forum. I got interest from the Forum, Gumtree and Pistonheads - it was the Pistonheads ad that finally sold it. AutoTrader I have used to try sell cars before and it's pretty useless, never had a viewing using that. Had a Corsa before the Astra and sold it via Gumtree.

I live on a main road, all my car cleaning done using buckets carried from my house to the side road where the car is parked down, plenty of elbow grease and infinite patience.

I clean my car every week, without fail. I have made lots of new friends this way...I now know that the landlord of the property on the corner of our road is from Hong Kong, very rich but is getting fleeced by Foxtons. That a guy living next door to that place is called Ben, rides a GXR, is from New Zealand and is planning on going back in the Autumn. Also that there are some very well spoken middle aged women who like looking at my gleaming engine bay and always seemed confused when I am checking the oil often asking what 'that stick is'...

I actually didn't mean the thread to go in this direction, although should have seen it coming She drove the front bumper into the kerb the other night during a three point turn, think it caught the plastic part underneath so no visibile damage. Her friend who was in the car with her also apparently got a bit of a shock from the impact! It's quite funny because she comes in with 'that look' like she has done something wrong I don't ask anymore!

Thought that might be the case. Getting the clicky axle fixed this weekend (part enroute courtesy of Alex) so will stump up more money in May for some decent grip. Then I can start buying some fun stuff
