  1. I'm really struggling to understand why you feel disabled people should not be allowed choice?
  2. Yes but you must be a particle, and your car must be capable of 80,000,000 mph! Where's Keyser? Shall I bring my spare helmet - you are going to passenger with me right? As long as you don't drop a cog in a bend at 80,000,000 mph
  3. Pop down there anyway would be my best advice, just take doughnuts
  4. I hope she's Eastern European!!! Noooooooooo!!! Now there over here stealing our men!!
  5. Put it like this, I voted for your car in Wales, I wouldn't now, you've lost the subtlety that oozed out of your Zed.

  7. I expected a comment like that from you. I'm not twisting anything. One thing about me is that i'm honest in my comments. If you want to take that as rambling, fair play. Fact is a mobility car should be fit for purpose and nothing more! What do you mean by "fit for purpose"?
  8. Lots of issues here for me, if you are genuinely disabled and you are entitled to a vehicle of your choice at a price then fine. If you choose to add to that cost and have an upgraded vehicle that's also fine and clearly some people would require a different vehicle so that they can get in out of it. One vehicle cannot suit every disabled person's needs that is clear. Many years ago I worked with a lovely guy who was genuinely disabled, from birth, and he had one of the three wheeled "suicide" machines as he called it. He couldn't get around without it, unfortunately he was killed instantly when he was hit by another car on his way to work, the police were adamant that he would have survived if he had been in an ordinary car so that option as suggested is not viable either. At that time I believe they were the only disabled persons vehicle made for the purpose, how could any government in this day and age make one particular model the specified vehicle, if it was a Ford, Vauxhall word shout foul and so it would go on, so allowing a vehicle of choice solvs that issue and ensures genuinely disabled people can have the vehicle that best suits there needs. Now, here's the real rub as far as I'm concerned, who is genuinely disabled and who isn't? Surely it is the fault of the system if the procedure or vetting system is open to widespread abuse and in that instance I also would be infuriated to see someone in an M3 or any other vehicle who clearly isn't entitled to one. Sort that out and surely over half of this argument goes away?
  9. So should I put the 350 z badges back on or will it look "too crowded"?
  10. Went over to TGM at Fleet today and picked the car up. New rear spoiler, Willie as usual has done an excellent job, it's not everyone's cup of tea but I really like it The added bonus is I can see out of the rear window again
  11. Got to be careful with Groupon offers, there are some cons amongst the good stuff. Mrs glrnet was going to buy 60 rolls of kitchen paper last week, cracking price, but only half the normal number of sheets on a roll!!! Unfortunatley they are now known in the Smurf household a s Groupcon now!
  12. I do sell those as well but find they don't really work, you just can't get enough preassure. My home made versions can create plenty of pressure (and therefore boost) but does require a little bit of effort, kind of like human powered NOS. After seeing Wasso's plenum spacers I even started doing them in different colours: Please visit my website for more performance products: www.TheBigBHPCon.co.uk Do you have these in "proper" blue please?
  13. I have got some spare oscillating grommet washers as well, never tired them but good for at least another 10.6 bhp per wheel
  14. Driving on the phone causes distraction and increase the risk of having an accident, likewise the closing of pubs has been caused more by people drinking socially at home because of the low price of alcohol in supermarkets rather than the smoking ban.
  15. Speeding doesnt really bother anyone though, and I dont think I know any car drivers who regularly ignore red lights or 1 way streets .......... The missus rides a horse BTW, and while Im not a great fan at least they usually travel in single file, you might annoy them but youre unlikely to pile into the back of one because youve got nowhere else to go Do you need to be insured in some way to ride a horse on the public highway?
  16. Finally got my replacement spoiler delivered and the faulty replica Nismo replaced, collecting the car from TGM in Fleet today, pictures later hopefully.
