  1. Be wary of this one. Its down as a roadster but the pics are a coupe. Many dealers just post stock pics of the cars and the reality can be different. Its still worth a look and could be fine but if you need to travel a long way for a car its worth getting a local to check it first.
  2. Yup. That looks like a nice car bud. As advertised and the price is fine. No visible mods. Very tidy.
  3. Oh Martin - you are so organised! Not really, I just have trouble remembering things.
  4. Hi and welcome to the forum. There is a sticky in the FAQ section with all you need to know/ look out for. Its the guide for new members.
  5. Hi Rob and welcome to the forum. All the info is on here but feel free to ask.
  6. I think the idea is that you can find the mods on this post then click on the specific album link for the owner. The gallery area is underused imo and it would be good to see more members taking advantage of this option.
  7. Hopefully it will be a repair job and you can get all the parts on here.
  8. Great pics there Tim, I really love the black and white. Well done.
  9. Well done for getting this going again Ian.
  10. Crispy seaweed. Take one head of spring greens, wash and dry. Remove hard vein from each leaf and stack. Roll up very tight and hold. Shave of thin slivers with a sharp knife. Put the slivers of cabbage in the deep fat fryer for about 10 secs, remove and put on kitchen roll. Srpinkle with sugar and crushed peanuts.
  11. I was at school with Dave Myers, if he do it so can anyone.
  12. I use this one with rings of black pudding or grilled salmon fillets but have a go with checken or anything you fancy. Melt two tablespoons of butter in a pan without colouring. Put in two good teaspoons of fennel seeds. Leave to stand for a couple of hours to soften the seeds. Finely cut up 4 medium leeks having washed them. Heat the butter and sweat down the leek. When it is soft ensure all the rings have broken up. Add a chicken or veg stock cube and as much cream as you fancy. Ensure the contents of the pan have again heated and place on a plate. Put the black pudding or salmon etc on top.
  13. You may want to change that Stew. Savoury aigrettes are pretty easy. Nicked the measurements for the pastry as i HAVE MY OWN MEASUREMENTS. Ingredients for Choux Pastry water 250ml butter 125 gm flour 150 gm eggs 4 How to make Choux Pastry 1. Melt the butter in the water and bring to a full boil 2. Immediately add the flour all at once and stir continuously with a wooden spoon 3. Cook for a couple of minutes until the mixture pulls away from the pan, forming a ball and remove from the heat 4. Place the dough in the bowl or a mixer, using a wooden spoon or the paddle attachment, mix the dough for a few minutes, allowing it to cool slightly 5. Add the beaten eggs gradually, in three or four additions, mixing the dough until it is smooth each time. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl until all of the eggs are incorporated I would avoid using a mixer as cleaning will be a pain. Make sure the mix has really cooled before putting in the eggs or they will scramble. The resulting mix will be pretty gooey but dont worry. Add grated cheese and chpped ham ( plus paprika if desired). Get your deep fat fryer ready. Depending how quick you are fry 4 to 6 at a time. Take two teaspoons. pick up a spoonful of mixture and run the other spoon underneath to form a quinnell, an egg shaped block to us. Carefully drop it in the hot fat. When it is lightly coloured remove the batch to kitchen roll. Continue until all the mnixture is cooked. Put a dozen or so pieces in a lightly oiled freezer bag and freeze or put in the fridge to be used. When you want them then fry until golden and serve with garlic mayo and a small side salad. Yummy.
  14. What do you want guys, some flash food for the dinner part thats easy and can be cooked in advance. How about a Stilton souffle that can be cooked the day before and is then ready in 12 minutes Savoury aigrettes, make 50 at one go then freeze them. Ready in 6 minutes when you need them. Or the Nixy curry. Dead easy, get your son to cook it.
  15. Road tax depends on the year bud. If its an import the rules seem to very iffy so on a UK 05 plate I pay the lower rate. The spec doesnt make any difference.
  16. Many happy returns Lucy and great respect for putting up with Stan. Only joking bud.
  17. Hi and welcome to the forum. The prices of the cars have now stabilised and in fact are now going up so no probs there. The cars are pretty good really. The clutch will last pretty well depending on how you drive the car. Engines and gearboxes are very reliable if looked after. In my opinion the biggest cost of ownership is the range of affordable mods you can do. The traders on here keep our costs down and pretty much anything is available which saves us having to pay Nissan prices.
  18. Very nice bud and the springs will only make it look better.
  19. As soon as we have 5+ confirmed it will go ahead. There are five on the list now so those guys please pm me to confirm. Anyone else on the list before ordering will be pmd and added. 1. martinmac 2. Tommy 3. AK350Z 4. ChrisJones6699 (but you already know that Mart 5. Tommy G
