That must have been fun, what was the reason behind 'Anagram'? Can see where you got the paint for the Bitch now! Leftovers from the office walls!

Will take a tape measure to the car later. A friend following me said that my exhaust tips just touched the water as I drove back up the slope (the photos don't show the elevation) when it was just over a foot high.

Morning all, I have found a better route to one of my golf clubs that not only avoids traffic but is also brings in some wide and fun country lanes The downside of all of this is that at the end of the lane there is a ford that regularly runs at 8" and I have seen it as high as 12" I have gone through it a few times now and wouldn't go through it again at 12 inches as there was quite a wave. I get alot of steam coming off my wheels as i sit at the junction after it. To have the fun route I can't avoid the ford without adding miles onto the journey and it then isn't worth it. How bad is it for the car, specifically the brakes that get rapidly cooled? What depth would you back out of, are you braver than 12 inches? The steam isn't any worse than any of the other cars passing through it. Interesting google earth pics ford by p_h_7, on Flickr ford2 by p_h_7, on Flickr

Everytime I see any of your threads I imagine that you constantly have the A-team theme on loop

Thanks Keyser, I'll be in touch shortly. I only promised that I wouldn't use any money from the skirts to pay for eyelids. On that topic, let me know if you still want first dibs on them otherwise I'll pop them on for sale. As I may have some alloys to buy... I've contiued the urban camoflage look further by flinging mud up the sides from some country lanes. Given how much paint is missing from stone chips combined with the leaves and mud I think my car is only 5% azure at the moment That raises a good point on when though. @Wasso, what are the details of the April event? April Drive Meet & Eat Location (TBC)

A good use of 5 mins, all of those cars have roof air intakes, which i haven't seen(or noticed) before on the 350. Has anyone ever done that here?

why do i have images off ians legs hanging out your boot with a strange slurping noise stick in my head That was a different time altogether!

Sssshhhh! We should try and keep ebay a secret. You are right though, as a seller I want my listings screamed about but as a buyer I want no one to know what I have found. My best bargains have come from snapping up buy it nows quickly. I have only ever posted items that I'm not interested in but think someone may be, never thought that i'm actively shafting another searcher.

Definite peer pressure. The leaves were there to keep it warm in these harsh conditions, just another way i'm looking after it. Well the tyre it has air in it. I'm toppping up every 3rd day currently until I have chance to drop it in for repair. It isn't losing too much though, must have been how it was parked was opening a wound! I can only claim to have looked after it for 6500 miles, there is time yet for me to do something stupid! Chances are this will be the slowest updated thread.

I feel guilty for posting things now! Although my spot did get paddy a set of aluminium kick strips on the cheap. I also put a bid on the apr cooling panel

This is more of a statement of intent than leaps and bounds of action. I bought the car in May 2012 with 172K on the clock. Originally I was going to keep the car standard and tidy it up a little. Other than fitting an s2000 aerial I almost fitted a rear diffuser but it didn't suit the exhaust on my car and I was convinced that I'd overcome zeditis. That didn't last though and I think meeting a few of you and constantly reading this forum has nailed it for me. The mod list is growing as are my supplies for cleaning the car thanks to waxybox and autoglym products. The basics of my car are From New Azure GT '04. 172,000 miles. Full history (as far as I can tell) Dealer fit parking sensors OEM Vertical tonneau cover OEM Aluminium kick strips OEM Luggage net OEM 350z magnetic tax disc holder!! Rays alloys During previous owners time Powerflow exhaust Original picccy with full aerial the day after i got it: So now onto me, the things to do is longer than the things done!

The recently discussed Kinetix front discs (12000 miles and still good) Remove and refit rear bumper properly after it hadn't been mounted on the ears correctly Polished the exhaust tips to within an inch of their lives. Sprayed the insides of my boot with beer during the Midlands Big One after a spirited drive. Note to self, the cargo net doesn't stop a depressurising can. Replacement air filter (thanks Vlad!) 20mm and 25mm spacers fitted Some alloys for winter wheels (thanks keyser!)

I can vouch for how good they look after seeing it in the flesh at the breakfast meet. Anyone buying one will not be disappointed. The only problem with how successful these are is that the will devalue my oem one!

Welcome , great colour choice!

Code worked this morning, order placed. Changed the way it worked this time. 2.50 discount instead of 5 but an option for free postage which makes it cheaper than the first order! So far part of my office is covered in the bonus set and the one from yesterday. Looking forward to trying them all out.

I went past a road tax inspection point last month, camera setup and several traffic police in operation. They were pulling loads of cars. I got done without tax several years back...probably 8. My v5 hadn't come through after lengthy delays and the post office wouldn't accept the green slip for another 6 months tax despite all the other documentation to prove otherwise. i thought my v5 would be delivered while away on holiday so was happy to leave it parked. I'd been getting lifts to and from work which was fine, but I needed to get some supplies we had forgotten. My wife was delayed at work and wouldn't be back in time so I nipped out in my car to get to the shops in time....pulled and fined, just my luck. It is a gamble and the police will just issue the fine as it is then a civil matter, no arguments.

I've also just had the voucher invalid code, just received my box.....looks great

A pint followed by a large kebab? I can't talk!

You've run into Smudgedon!

He should've had the par 5 like me...I had half a sandwich for the rest of the day after that!

I have an OEM spoiler that I don't need, so hopefully someone here can benefit from it. Has scratches on it and a little chip on the corner, requires a respray for certain. Missing one of the white plastic fixings underneath, I definitely had both but I'll be damned if I can find it. Item Location is Darlaston, West Mids. Item Price is £25 photo 1 by p_h_7, on Flickr photo 2 by p_h_7, on Flickr photo 3 by p_h_7, on Flickr photo 7 by p_h_7, on Flickr

So I've had a change of mind, you can have the ones I was going to swap out as they are better suited to a respray than my existing ones, I'll repair the split on my existing skirt instead. They have scratches over them and would be perfect for a respray. Or not, and you could go two-tone! The shed makes them look worse but that is just reflection! photo 4 by p_h_7, on Flickr photo 5 by p_h_7, on Flickr photo 6 by p_h_7, on Flickr You can have first dibs on them before I stick them in the for sale section.

I promise!
