Have a look at the Regional Meets section of the forum to see whats going on in your area

Hope you still hang around here James. Your engine bay has been an inspiration (and bane!) of many members here! Me included!

wide range of cars and prices and specs for that year range

Just a quick update. and it aint a good one. After some investigation by the EH head mech, it appears the gearbox has an underlying issue. As such, Toby has said he is not happy selling me a car which could prove to be a lemon, and obviously I don't want to buy a car which could end up costing me down the line. Back to square one. Dammit.

Looking good Tim

Why not buy a boot one from Alex, and have a front one for free? Some people must have money to burn.

How'd you get here so quick? Do you have some kinda of sensory alarm that immediately indicates to you when women drivers are being slated on this forum? Its freaky!

I have a front one you can have for free. PM me your address and I'll post it tomorrow

I had a 2008 car previously, and I can assure you that it did not have .mp3 playback. I think it could have been an optional extra to have your 6CD changer replaced with a single CD .mp3 unit, but Im not certain.

ok ok. Who is gonna be the first one to comment on womens driving.......? *checks over shoulder to make sure Vik aint around*

Lots of help and info to be found on here Stick your location down, and then have a look in the regional meets sections to see if there is anythign coming up local to you.

It's not a .mp3 player. Its a 6 CD multichanger playing only audio CD's. You can do an ipod hack to get it connected to an ipod though. There are guides on this in the guides section, and a few members also offer the service for a small fee.

Can't see email in your profile mate Look in his occupation

You really think he came home on the Motorways?!

*mutters something about still waiting for Powerhouse Amuse*

Whilst inspecting my new 350 with Toby yesterday, we continued a discussion we had previously had about Nissans Infiniti venture in the UK. As it turns out, a guy he worked with at Mercedes, is now going to be the Infiniti Brand manager at the Infiniti Center in Leeds when it opens. He has asked Toby to pass on the following message for forum members As Peter said, me and Toby are arranging a static meet at his dealership in September (date to be confirmed). As we now have Peter on board, it pleases me to say that there will be a few Infiniti models present for us to have a look at. I will be posting up an actual meet thread once I have a date confirmed.

As if I wont be spending enough at your place.....

no-one likes a smart arse Vik - Don't think we know the owner, although it has been a one owner car, with a full dealer service history at Chorley Nissan. The stubby was a bonus, and it even has a vertical screen in the boot! The cargo net is missing though, so will have to blag one from somewhere. Niel - Its the front nose I care about, not the wings!

I currently have an "ideas file" on my desktop. pics included in this are below. Some of which have been ordered

The car finally arrived in the North East today, and I just got back from Middlesborough having a look. For a 2006 car, she is in pretty good condition. I wouldn't say she is to my standards, but very few things are! Few scratches hear and there, but they are all polishable so they will be taken care of. We had the car up on the ramps, and I was able to have a good poke around underneath. All sound and secure - even the OEM exhaust looked like it was in good nick. Banana arms at the front look like they may have been replaced at some point in their life as these looked pretty new, as did the bushes, and showed no signs of corrosion or wear. All 4 rays unmarked. Interior was pretty standard for a 5 yr old car - few scratches on knob and on the door grabs. But I will be replacing those anyway. Drivers seat bolster worn. But that's in hand. We did find 2 or 3 niggles, which will be hopefully seen to tomorrow. One being the "stop" that prevent the gear stick from being moved into the reverse without pressing down on the stick doesnt seem to be there. Having not dismantled a Zed for quite a while, I cant remember for sure. But I seem to rememebr this is just a case of a plate and a small piece of metal attached to gear stick that has to slide under the plate. Regardless, it is being looked at tomorrow. Hopefully have her in my posession soon

Not Jealous, not jealous not jealous NOT JEALOUS!

You'll not be disappointed with Vreds.

Whilst a good percentage of BP's profits do come from petrol sold, it is not their only business interest. Their shipping business alone makes a fortune in charter and shipping costs (over 100 vessels)

Grangemouth Refinery is/was BP? Operated by Ineos.

As someone who has worked in the oil and gas industry on and off for 13 years, may I suggest you go do some research. BP's profits (as with many of the oil and gas companies) are not directly linked to what you pay at the pumps.
