As you can imagine, I literally feel your pain.

The cheek of it! I'll just sit in the back and be quiet I think. lol

My old Zed? Not a clue. It was for sale on Auto Trader back in August from the garage that took it in part ex. Not seen it since.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Yeah, im just glad no-one else was involved and hurt, and that there was no-one on the pavement as we went sideways along it for 15 meters. Car is getting picked up by VX tomorrow, and is in the hands of the insurance company. I suspect they will write it off, due to the cost of parts from Oz. Gutted and aching.

Yeah, car was undrivable and I was blocking a major road. Called police straight away. Luckily the copper was a friend of mine, so dindt get any grief.

Well. Managed to lose control of the R8 today, span 180, side on into a curb. Was accelerating out of a junction onto a Dual Carriageway. Back end twitched, caught it, twitched the other way and I just lost it. Speed was about 35-40mph. Intially damage doesnt look bad, but up close not good. 2 broken alloys. o/s wheel bent - quick look underneat shows its all pretty bent in there, including the shock. She's off to Vauxhall tomorrow for the garage to make a repair quote. I would suspect the price of repair wont be worth it. Especially if there is any damage to the rear diff. What a way to start xmas hols.

Christ its like having a stalker! Wow! A Job!

Ive been keeping an eye on things Mart, and giving myself and Budgie an extra 2 hours for the drive down. I drove to Manchester on Sat (not in my car) and once outta the NE, it was fine. So I'll be my usual A1/A14/M11/M25 We're calling in at Stanford-le-hope tackle center if we get time. I picked up a wee 7ft boat rod today and some other bits. Just need to get some bait in Stanford. Fresh fish this week! Well, maybe! See you tomorrow boss.....maybe!

At 3.52am this morning I woke in a cold sweat and blind panic, knowing that somewhere someone had done a terrible deed. I now know what it was.

Dude, My car aint moved since Thursday morning! Properly snowed in, and just not worth the risk!

That looks like us coming round from Falmouth.....Poor Stephen

I had my 08 plate for almost 3 years and didnt experience a single fault. I know some have had the Bose skipping issues though.

You're only doing it to smash the plates though!

I'm for Evo over Top Gear too.

Thats an old clip. Just found the link to the story. I have actually sailed on that tanker when she was under the British flag. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... clnk&gl=uk

The above with standard wheels on H/Pool marina today

Does that mean I wont be hearing every day at work how many days its been since you drove her now?

without wishing to teach to suck eggs.... 1. Activate you phones bluetooth 2. Turn on car ignition. "phone" should appear on the stereo screen briefly 3. Using mobile phone, search for BT devices 4. Should come up with "Nissan 350z" 5. Connect to it. If it asks for a passcode, I think it was 1234.

Z32 = 300zx And Z31 Yeah, true, but the Z31 is butt-ugly!

Z32 = 300zx

Taken me 11 years to get to this position, thats including a total of 4 years in college. However, if you pay yourself through your basic courses (Fire Fighting, Basic Survival, Elementary First Aid, Personal and social responsibilities), and then do your efficient Deck Hand course, some company may take you on as an EDH. YOu then need 6 months sea time before you can become an OS. and a further 6 months and a CPSC certificate before you can become an A/B. Our company only employs officers, as we have no requirement for crew. But as mentioned, there are companies in local ports who may take on. Not sure really as I've only been wokring coastal for a year, and its wholly different to the 10 years I spent deep sea.

Leave some work for me

*looks outta window* It's blowing a b***ard up here in the NE. Thats not gunna be a comfortable trip for the Stanford!

Is there anyone here local to Bristol who has experience with 300zx? I need someone to go have a view at this for me http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/93-UK-NISSAN-300Z ... 3a5ff61860 Cheers Al
