    Porsche 911

    Miles away mate, but sod it i'll travel to get shotgun in one of them! Sounds like a decent bloke who's loaded. Rare qualities!
  5. What are the Renault Megane 225 and Focus St's like compared to the Zed? My friends Focus RS is a good match for my 350. It has great handling with the dif.

    Porsche 911

    Someone posted this before but i cant for the life of me find it.. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/161962.htm Anyway, i saw this in the flesh on my way home from work, i nearly died of shock!! especially as someone had posted it up on here within the last few days. It was heading southbound on the M6 near warrington. It looks as bright in the flesh as it does on the pics. Awesome!!

    mmmmmm sweet

    Was this the Z-Tune model?
  10. Ive backed out quite a few situations, i find that most people are doing it to prove that there polo/Xr2i/corsa is the fastest thing in the world with there 6" exhaust or to just annoy me. They seem to like driving within an inch of my rear bumper even in traffic. Ive had fun with a few mercs including an AMG ML, New Golf GTi, Impreza's, TT's, BMW's etcc.. but the main one was a Porsche 911 turbo across some open country roads, which i kept up with. To be truthfull if the situation came up again, i wouldn't bother. I admit, i do drive quickly, but i make sure i stick to the limits in built up areas, similar to what we did on the NW run. And to add to someones comment earlier, i've never done it to look cool as i try to do it in areas where there are few, if any pedestrians at all. Time and a place and all that.

    awesome and quite rare. Expensive? probably
  12. Steve, I'm not sure if i've read your comment right but i think your getting mixed up. 19x9.5 is the Wheel size. It is completely different when talking about the size of tyres. Not just one size width of tyre can fit on a 9.5" wide wheel. You could have 235x35x19 or 255x35x19 . It is just from alittle science and mainly experience that the best size for the Zed is 245x35x19. The 35 in (245x35x19) is the height of the tyre (refered to as profile) if you where looking at the side of your car from the pavement. This is a percentage of the width of your tyre. 35% of 245. This is only 35% as when you go up in wheel size, say from 18" wheels to 19" wheels it is recommended that you go down in profile. This is to keep the rolling radius of your wheel the same. If you think about it, if you have an 19" wheel, one rotation will be bigger or longer than a 18" wheel, hence reducing your tyre profile will alleviate this so that your speedo reads correct etc.. Im sorry if this sounds abit of a dummy guide or i have gone over points you already know

    Fairlady badge

    Fair Lady and later Fairlady - The name given to the first line of sports cars designed and built by Nissan Motors Japan after W.W.II, with the specific intent of being marketed in the USA - 1960. The name "Fair Lady" was given to the new sports car line by Mr. Katsuji Kawamata, President Of Nissan Motors Japan, after he attended the Broadway Musical "My Fair Lady" while visiting the US in 1958. He felt that the name would invoke an image of beauty for the car - because people would think of the beauty of the music and the leading lady in that Broadway Musical. More here: http://zhome.com/History/FairladyName.html I like the Badge anyway. I'm keeping mine.
  14. I like the look of the U600. I really need one with at least 3MP camera, as i use this the most i guess hence why i got the K800i. The D900 looks good to but the last time i had a samsung i found the software alittle slow. have they improved?
  15. Yeah the interior ones. I kinda like the ambience they give off.
  16. Is anyone upto date on mobiles? I'm due an upgrade and fancy getting hold of a new phone, but which? I currently have a SE K800i and like all my gadgets, mainly Camera, Bluetooth, music and then internet in that order. Ive looked at the SE K810, SE W880, N95 and ive heard there's some good LG and Samsungs about. Which is the best to go for though, or should i wait alittle longer? Its all baffling

  21. yup, you would need to rewire your stereo so that it has a constant power supply. Pretty easy once you have your stereo out.
  22. where you get your LED's from Louis? Looking good by the way!! No takers yet?
  23. unfortunately im not going to be able to make this one. Im really really sorry if this is going to cause any problems especially to Mike for helping to arrange this in his time.
