  1. Looking good mate! Been looking for a not too Gay wing for a while and this looks sweet! No longer on the fence! Lol
  2. Like the evil new nostrils Bob. Velociraptor springs to mind!
  3. And there was me thinking a bit of fencing in the Back garden might keep you occupied while we were held up on the Zed Shed! ..............
  4. Hope this is the last hoop you guys have jump through to get the show back on the road. Zorro and Indie are poised and ready for the re start.
  5. Will be along on the Tarmac stand and have 3 track time sessions booked so looking forward to hustling round a circuit new to me. Got a spare seat as Buster is busy this weekend! Joking apart if anyone wants to ride shotgun they are more than welcome.
  6. Got the Brighton Speed trials on the 5th and Gurston Down on the 13th Sept.
  7. Good luck mate,and take some video/pics if you can. I'm already booked up every weekend in September!
  8. Nice motor! I do love a sleeper as you know! The Germans so get the interiors spot on.
  9. If I had an extra garage and I know they have already increased in price over the last few years.The mk 1 golf GTI 1.6 in black would be the one for me!
  10. Great progress once again guys! Hope to see you next fingers crossed.
  11. Welcome along mate! I can remember when I ordered my car new in April 07 with no idea of a delivery date. Enjoy the build up and when the day of collection arrives do yourself a favour drive home and erase all links to this place before it's too late!
  12. Would love to do this one but unless you have OEM or a very quiet aftermarket set up you will struggle to pass the very low sound test level which is 90 db. I know my car is boosted but with a full Miltek system my reading at Goodwood last weekend was 96!!! Great circuit with some super fast corners. Might come along in my Bipper van! Lol
  13. I have spent a small fortune experimenting with all the leading brands of so called summer tyres and I'm not going to slag any particular brand as every car has an individual set up with ref to power,wheel size,dry weather and maybe a trackday/Motorsport bias. In my experience with the events I do the Michelin pilot SS is the best all round tyre by a big margin and are even a match for the toyo 888rs which I run on my rays once they have a couple of laps of heat in them.
  14. Ordered some exhaust gaskets yesterday afternoon and they arrived this morning! Great service as ever Ewan.
  15. On this advice alone my wife purchased 2 Clematis plants today (east facing wall just so you know) I will let you know how they do Gotta luv this forum not only am I writing a build thread on a garage instead of a car (let alone a Zed) I'm even getting gardening advice - spot on Just so you all know the water board has been paid, video survey next week, structural engineer has produced a plan (exact calcs to be done if the design is acceptable) we are also in talks with the water board "Sewer Protection Officer" despite the title (not even sure if it his official title) he seems spot on and he will give us a heads up on our plan all being well we should get confirmation (or denial ) on or around the 21st so a 3 week delay, we are going to rip out another hedge line while we wait and I have a few jobs to finish in the house, Andy and Tim (the builders) have finished the retaining wall and are going to occupy themselves on a few little jobs they have outstanding for other clients while we try and get everything back on track. I'll get some pics of progress and the other hedge removal later this week or at the weekend. Be good, take care and above all HAVE FUN! Its been a hard couple of weeks and good progress has been made by the day and night shift but unfortunately the Zed shed construction team has had to put things on hold while the legals get sorted. I think the home team may be busy fencing this weekend though! We will miss you guys.........
  16. im on track at 11:40 dunno when yours are 10,11.40 and 14.40
  17. Due to over subscription and priority given to championship contenders I haven't got an entry at Shelsley on the 16th August even though my cheque was banked!... After a frantic session on the I pad I have managed to divert my quest for speed to Japfest 2 at Rockingham! Hotel booked and 3 track sessions lined up. Not been to this venue before so looking forward to it.
  18. Two nice days at Goodwood in one weekend! Who needs to travel by Ryanair! Lol
  19. Fantastic meet today! Sun,great location,good company and I think we had the best stand on show! Starting a list of who is Sunburnt. 1.kat 2.netti 3.? Lol
  20. Car running well but the clutch slipped again on one of the runs. Hope it hangs on till the end of the season. Winter mods will be twin plate,Kaz Diff andsome paintwork as all the track work has had its toll on the front bumper which looks like it has been shot with a cannon full of "p" shingle! Lol
  21. I know you prefer the other rims Bob but your car at this moment is the best it's looked IMO
  22. Amazing pics and video Colin! My dash cam only gives the in car view so it's really nice to see the car as others see it in action! Thanks for popping down to lend your support and friendly banter! Look forward to seeing you at the Brighton Speed Trials on Sept 5th
