  1. I would have trouble walking in that! never seen that much in London
  2. haha I've heard its a bit grim up norf! yes you do get 100000x times better roads when the sun is out and I get stuck with traffic jammed / speed camered / speed bumped roads that are driveable most of the year but boring I think it's hilarious how London stands still with two flakes of snow but don't mind as I normally get days off work for it one day I would love a driving holiday in Scotland but want guaranteed sun and will have to remember to bring my passport!
  3. Never known a car club where so many people put their cars away for winter! ?? Don't see the point myself unless conditions are really bad ie snow and ice. Don't want to pay out for tax and insurance and then leave the car sitting there? irreplaceable classics maybe but not Zeds? fair enough about gritters but in London that happens for a few weeks a year if we're lucky. Wouldn't lay her up for half a year though? each to their own though! I'll be driving as long as theres not feet of snow which is unlikely in London. Scotland and those frozen northern counties might be a different story though
  4. hhhmmm that looks nice! Always liked them and that one looks good with some nice ad ons!
  5. Good luck! looks like it should be fun! want to do my own Euro road trip one day. Not sure if you know but in Switzerland you need to buy a sticker to drive on the motorways or you can get fined a lot!
  6. looks lovely! for giving him a good home!
  7. Try blackcircles as well, similar Internet company who search local garages
  8. Just to check before I buy some lock nuts on Ebay, are the correct thread sizes: M12 x 1.25 Michael
  9. welcome to the Forum, GM might not be the fastest colour but is the best! you take the family out one at a time? still trying to persuade my dad to borrow mine for a proper drive but he's worried about damaging it and me moaning. bought it to enjoy, not mollycoddle it! get some pics up!
  10. when I've had them on previous cars I've just insured them as part of an 'aftermarket exhaust'
  11. I actually prefer the standard wheels over the Rays, especially when they're clean! mine have lovely kurbing so a respray might be in line next year
  12. Looks lovely! I like red lip as well
  13. Blimey- a nest of black cats! Very cool. Hope you enjoy your new cat Vik. I'd love more but two in a one bed flat is enough for now!
  14. more cats from me - two, one male - black and overweight and one female, bengal and slightly paranoid! both house cats and get on very well when not chasing each other round the house. He likes eating and she likes anywhere warm and covered and also loves water. also at the bottom my pet tarantula so look away if you're arachnaphobic! Shelob: (Brasilian black tarantula / grammastola sp.)
  15. right I'm off home now on my bike to jump some red lights and be on my merry way!
  16. I cycle to work most days but also drive so try to anticipate where the danger could be and avoid it and always treat cars like they could be ready to cut me up at any moment am sure most drivers don't set out to run over / cut up cyclists and cycles aren't the easiest things to see. saw something insteresting on the way to work today, a cyclist had decided to stop in the middle of the road and was shouting at a car behind him (not sure what happened). He was causing a hold up and white van man a few cars back was giving him some stick and everyone was beeping. Cycle man then did some air horn pushing and blew kisses at the cars!! He then proceeded to cycle in the middle of the road slowly still holding up traffic. Not sure what happened then as i cycled off in the other direction. Sure Mr White van man gave him some stick later. Whole thing was stupid and even if the cyclist had been 'wronged' he would have deserved a good punch!
  17. Bloody hell, great spec and very good price!
  18. wasn't me! (wrong year) saw a GM 54 plate (AN54 I think) parked up in Camden on Sunday around 9pm so might be same one?
  19. your one looks like it does the job nicely!
  20. I'll wire ten up in sync and have the fastest Zed ever!
