  1. Any rules on driver aids? Just getting my sightseers in now. Edit: I meant sighters, but judging by my first few laps they were sightseers! This 111R is a handful at times
  2. Yeah just once, I was expecting even a slight difference. Where exactly where you concentrating the grease? I used the spray white lithium and sprayed everything down there, the spring, the bits at both ends, some of the footwell and god only knows what else. I think it's what they call a 'liberal' application. It took a few goes, and I do it every now again still now, whenever I remember.
  3. I don't get combining practice (band or otherwise) and getting pi**ed. The two things don't meet up in my head. Off down the driving range/to play footy/go the gym/band practice, must get a 6-pack? Er no. £10 for fuel wouldn't hurt, but I suspect it's the attitude not the time/cash that's pissing you off. If you speak to your mates genuinely, genuine mates will listen. Either take the session seriously, or go out on a serious session!
  4. Have you greased it just the once? Mine took one greasing a week for, I think, three weeks before it stopped completely.
  5. Please can I play? Reed_Rockhard I'll post some times this afternoon.
  6. It looks like a Private Hire, as it appears to have a badge, so probably stopped to let folk out, or pick up. It's 8pm on a Sunday night, so nothing too unusual. Giving room to a taxi loading/unloading passengers of an evening, in a street free of moving traffic, having previously checked for the absence of buses, seems pretty reasonable to me.... ... but I'm of the school of thought that rules are more like guidelines, which can be superseded if common sense suggests another approach is more appropriate. I doubt the ticket robots feel the same way.
  7. I'm confused. Where are you supposed to be if the cars are parked in the car lane? Is it just the red bit you're not allowed in? Always worth an appeal if it doesn't come with an increased penalty risk. Something about "leaving room for parked car doors to open combined with it gives you more angle/space to see pedestrians in between parked vehicles"? Sounds a bit weak when I write it down. Is that parked car even in a legit space? Looks like it's snuck on the end of the spaces "forcing" you into the red. It's well this side of the bin.
  8. I'd not considered it like that, pure inexperience on my part, makes sense. I guess those old Jaaaag drivers are spent after two hot laps.
  9. The one and only one I have done was taster/introduction. I found the enforced control of a limited session time with only a few cars on track at once, plus having to come off/relax/have a coffe/watch others, before being allowed out again was good for me and undoubtedly gives the car a break too. I'd have been lost on a open day as to how long I'd been out, temps, etcetera, as it's just so damn exciting and you can get a bit of tunnel vision
  10. Get the Black Hole from here and the SN from Envy Valeting on here with a members discount (Tim might even sell BH too, but I'm not sure - although I personally think Natty's gives a slightly wetter finish, personally. Do a full wash, decontamination (fallout, tar remover & clay) and spend some time polishing it - level of correction requires would determine what polish. I'd also suggest using both Black Hole a Lime Prime Lite is unnecessary - one or the other really as neither has any cut and both contain cleaners so the first will just be removed by the second anyway. Isn't lime prime lite a cleaner and black hole a glaze? So the black hole goes on after to hide your blemishes? Not saying I'm right, just asking.
  11. I know sponge is a dirty word around these parts, but the Dodo products seem quite well regarded and I spotted this when I was having a nose around. Anyone had a crack with one? How's it compare to proper clay? http://www.cleanyour.../prod_1281.html
  12. Interesting you say the black hole, I'm using white diamond because I was worried the BH might be a bit too dark. WD gives me a nice look, I'm assuming you're pleased with your BH results? Might give it a try next time. I've used both whilst very subtle I found that black hole gives better colour depth on Gm Sounds good, thanks!

  14. I want to be Bond, specifically Sean Connery Bond, offing baddies, driving fast cars, shooting guns, wielding gadgets, meeting dangerous beautiful dames, international travel, speaking multiple foreign languages, scuba diving, winning in casinos. Or I'd take being a hard-boiled noire Private Detective like Marlowe or Sam Spade. Wearing a cool suit and hat everyday, getting in to scrapes, fast talking dialogue with the baddies, irritating the bulls, shooting guns, being tough, solving crimes, meeting dangerous beautiful dames.
  15. I had exactly the same fears before doing my first one late last year,via a mate in a Jaaaag Owner's Club, up north at Croft. I was bricking it about me cleaning up someone's E Type or some banana cleaning me up. Absolutely loved it in the end, I'm already thinking about more for this year and a track toy if I can find a lock up. Got to see a load of quality Jaaags, couple of Porkers and destroyed an Aston too Do it do it do it do it do it! Here's a link that was full of good advice when I was looking, also one from just after my first track day. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/76785-advicepreparation-for-first-track-day/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77044-my-first-track-day-croft/ PS - it might not be cool and hard, but I felt so much better knowing I'd taken out some insurance cover which would have paid out if the worst happened.
  16. Nice mate, that's cool. You gonna hide your phone away so it just looks like an android headunit? In the vid I think the two screens looks er, interesting.
  17. I'm sorry Kelly, Cheryl... I don't know what to say... It just wasn't working any more... It's me, it's not you... You're both just stuck in the past... Thanks to everyone who made it happen, not forgetting the Zed owners who take such good care of these beauties and snap the awesome shots.
  18. Rubbish photo, but as I left the office and walked back through the car park, I got thinking, "That's why you get to drive a Zed, there's no one else left in the car park".
  19. You wait until geofencing surveys come into play... Remind me to disable iBeacon.
  20. Signed, democracy can't work if people don't take the opportunity to speak. Took less than a minute.
  21. If you have enough microfibres and you flipped/folded after very stroke, then got a fresh one when it was flipped out, you'd minimise moving the dust about. You'd need a few MFs mind and plenty of lube, obviously you'd be crazy to do it if it was properly dirty, just lightly soiled. I'm going to add that Sonax to my trial list, looks great!
  22. I used to have weird recurring one where I am being chased around some sort of underground cave system by the aliens from Aliens, all I have is a shotgun and Fox Mulder for company. I tried to look it up, but it wasn't listed.
  23. Last time I saw it posted on here story was that it was abandoned in UAE - it was a story about the amount of folk just upping and leaving when they went bust... I've read that in the UAE, if you're unemployed for more than 6 months you have to leave the country, so supposedly there was hundreds of abandoned cars at the airports in 2008 where people just had to go back home after the financial crash. What if you're just a millionaire playboy? Do you have to just create your own business and make up a job? Crazy place. I'd be Supreme Allied Commander of Stutopia Enterprises.
