  1. Can't think of two better Zeds to share a prize
  2. They look super aggressive, nice. Have you considered colour coding them at all?
  3. With that and the chat about Strictly and Cheryl's return to X Fuctor, I can understand why they've raised the threat level. The guff on TV is enough to make you wonder if the terrorists might actually have a point... Stop The Press!!!!!!! TOWIE star missing since friday morning...... oh hang on he has turned up in Blackpool on a jolly I'll fetch me gun and release the hounds.

  5. Is that for real? Having seen that, I've changed my mind. No one can side with any group who thinks that's an acceptable ad. I can't even decide which bit is the most awful; the condescending "dunnae gamble with oor kids futures!!!" threat, the "och I'm just a normal wee wife having a cup of tea in ma kitchen" tone, or the patronising use of "acting" using eyebows alone. Are you sure it's not subversive a Yes campaign dressed up as BT?
  6. Does this mean someone has to change the light bulb colour in the sign in the office? They'll be furious.
  7. Any particular bits or is this just Salmond style response? Salmond actually done amazing in the debate the other night against Alistair Darling and did have some very good points. If anybody wishes to watch its below. He did do much better in the debate, but the best debater wins a debate, that's not the same as the best idea winning the debate. Any particular bits or is this just Salmond style response? A couple of bits, well most bits, actually all the bits, but hey, that's the beauty of it buddy. Alex Salmond is not the referendum, that's what most in the south don't get, not your fault but if your fed pish by the conservative, unionist press, then by default you are gonna think pish. Think along the lines of a jihadist, fed pish and acts like they are fed pish, not the individual's fault but it's all they know and are fed. Let's just see what happens. If the ramblings of a few right wing bigots that have 'Scotland's interests at heart' and work in Westminster can't debate it and see the writing on the wall, what idiots voted for them. Even if it's a no vote, it won't go away, change is scary for most but you gotta roll with it I didn't mention Salmond in my post, I realise he is not the issue, it's much bigger. As you've brought him up though despite his Standard Grade Body Language Studies forcing him to step out from behind the lectern to "engage", his dismissive attitude and talking over people on subjects that don't suit his agenda, fairly reeks of a man whose priority is a separate state, not a better economy. Lets face it, you can have all the national identity you want, but it doesn't provide job or hospitals or schools. As for the jihadist perspective, not everyone in England laps up the government's right wing rubbish, just because it's on TV or being pedalled by Murdoch publications. I don't think they have even got England's best interests at heart, let alone Scotland's, they're in it to make money for the ruling classes - simple as. Anyone who wants power, is precisely the wrong person for the job. If having Scotland in the UK helps keep at least some of those people in check, all the better for England. Equally, that doesn't mean everything they say is a lie. Particularly around currency, national debt and the huge dependency on future Scotland (say 50 years away) being based on a finite resource as it's main source of income. I'm not against change, but change for a reason, not change for change's sake. At the minute, Scotland has some proper policies we can only wish for in England, like free prescriptions and higher education. If I was voting, I'd be thinking about what else could be improved for the people via the Scottish Parliament, whilst retaining the benefits of being part of a larger, more diverse economy. Not being a brand new, unknown economic quantity, in an enormous global financial market.

  9. I'm an Englishman who lived in Scotland for around 5 years, I've got great memories of my time north of the border and I'd be sad to see Scotland break away. For purely selfish reasons, it also means the English are stuck with a Tory government for the rest of time, which is a disaster. More objectively speaking, I can't recall one sensible reason I've heard from the Yes nutters that Yes is actually going to be beneficial to Scotland. It's all been chest beating, Braveheart gibberish sprinkled with some chat about how oil is going to last forever and make everyone millionaires. That ship sailed in the 80s, it's too late to try and be Norway. I can't for the life of me figure out how the cost of swapping currency and migrating all of the state infrastructure is going to be recovered, let alone paid for and then a profit made on top for the people to benefit from. It'll cost millions just to change the government letterheads!!!! On the other hand, having had my fair share of stick for having had the audacity to be born 70 miles south of Scotland, I know I don't want to hear any more anti-English guff ever again if Scotland opts to stay in I just hope Scottish people vote with their head and not out of some sort of sense of historical injustice.
  10. I've not done a test but I'd wager on such a beast of engine it barely notice if the AC is on. You could do an unscientific test on miles between fill ups, a couple on and a couple off?
  11. Will do mate. You can't have too much NISMO, this bit is genuine too
  12. I fell in love with Switzerland, thanks for sharing these and the memory refresh, looks like a tremendous trip
  13. Looks great, much better than the plastics. Nice touch.
  14. Thanks mate, one or two jobs left to do and I'll be done
  15. I ordered two of these in error, fitted mine tonight in about 10 minutes (and I'm far from competent with a screwdriver). Good for at least 20bhp* and you can legitimately plaster NISMO decals and badges all over your Zed after fitting one Helpful installation guide here: http://www.350z-uk.c...elerator-pedal/ It's still in it's wrapper so the pics are of the one I fitted tonight, yours is sealed up as per the second pic. NB - retain your the little rubber bush as per the guide - not supplied in this pack. £45 including cheapest postage, or upgrade the postage at your cost. NB - iPad not included * no dyno runs undertaken to prove gains, may not result in more BHP
  16. I purchased this from a fellow member and she's done a few thousand miles with me, but in good nick. Bought purely to enhance my red themed engine bay and removed due to arrival of a CF intake tube. It could do with a wipe down with a silicone cleaning cloth but I've ran out and don't want to apply anything else to it. Bit of info here: http://www.amber-per....php?xProd=8076 Yours for just £35 including the cheapest possible P&P - will upgrade shipping if you bear the cost. This mark is on the underside when fitted I would have chucked in the hose clips but they were a bit dull, so treat yourself to some shiny ones to set it off
  17. Thank you Asad for speedy shipping and comprehensive installation guide for these, very pleased
  18. Some cheeky mid-week-mod-action tonight. First off, the rather dapper Asad vent trims. They break up the acres of plastic nicely and I think they look sweet as.. Probably the longest mod ever, ordered this many moons ago in a shopping spree Stateside - finally back in stock Excuse the state of my footwell, it looks worse on camera. A very pleasing 15 minutes modding
  19. I don't like to endorse faddy things but I think there's something to be said for this ice bucket lark...
  20. They're a fabulous looking wheel, very nice looking Zed you've got there.
  21. However careful you are, you will mark the paint if you keep her clean, it's curse of the detailer The best you can hope to do is keep any marking to a minimum and keep protection topped up. Replacing mitts and microfibres like GM says will help, also don't forget to wash your mitts after use. If you fancy trying something new, maybe consider a drying aid, it'll keep the friction as low as possible during the drying phase. I've just run out of AMMO Hydrate, which I didn't like at first but I've really come around too after a few uses.
  22. MEV Exocet http://www.mevltd.co.uk/exocet_gallery.htm You get to build it too
