Funny that. You'd think ha. -
Just the sort of dog you want.

What are you, man or mouse?!

How about going to a trusted friends house and change your passwords over, so at least that locks her out of there. Lol, and Jay for giving the girl access to your computer. Hope you get this all sorted pronto.

I don't have a flash camera like some of you guys, but thought this capture today with double bumble bee bottoms having a feeding frenzy was a rare shot.

Looks smart and a much cleaner look that the branded burger.

On duty, but will probably lick you to death?

Looks like the little lad has recovered from his sun exposure. Enjoy your stay at Brillo's.

A Brief description of basic tools and their uses: DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned callouses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh s--t!' SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle ... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VICE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your workshop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering a vehicle to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most workshops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding of that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50p part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. It is especially valuable at being able to find the EXACT location of the thumb or index finger of the other hand. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. SON-OF-A-B!TCH TOOL: (A personal favorite!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a B!TCH!' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

Yippie a fellow female buddy There's quite a few of us now, especially in comparison to 3-5 years ago. Lol, don't mind them. You'd think they'd never heard of a female before.

My ZED now has 447hp at the HUB. Thanks Abbey!

Do a few sprints and Hillclimbs but she is too nice to race as don't want to bend her!!! Excellent! Post some vids for us. Hill climbs are great fun!!! Got a good number over here into hill climbs with substantially fast versions. -
Track day at hullivington today 3rd September
bronzee replied to Kev T's topic in Motorsport & Track Days
If you weren't overtaken by the Atom I would have been very surprised, little rockets they are. Good to see the Z on the track!!! Even if they are a tad heavy to haul around through hairpins. -
As long as they come equipped with a snow plow you'll be fine.
-
Lol, am I allowed to say, yawn?! They're dime a dozen over here, being so close to Australia, including the Supercharged ones. They go alright, but it's all relative, as they weigh more than our humble little (in comparison) Zeds.

Another Zed owner in London
bronzee replied to ThriftyFifty's topic in Introductions & Welcome Messages
The wait will be worth it, I'm sure. -
Welcome to Sprinkle-dom Sarah. "Sprinkle" - female Z owner. Sprinkle, because there's only a few of us, but we make up for it in attitude. Enjoy the drive home.

Black and LMS always looks smart.
-
Looks good, even with phone camera quality.
-
Gorgeous photos, and the LMS baby looks fantastic! Those detailing nuts amongst us appreciate the time and effort that has to be put in. Particularly like the 3rd and the 4th pic. 4th one as the paint looks really glowy!

Now, if you alter this to husband/bf/etc, you got it right!!!! I have a little Sat-Nav It sits there in my car A Sat-Nav is a driver's friend It tells you where you are I have a little Sat-Nav I've had it all my life It’s better than the normal ones My Sat-Nav is my wife It gives me full instructions Especially how to drive "It's thirty miles an hour", it says "You're doing thirty five" It tells me when to stop and start And when to use the brake And tells me that it's never ever Safe to overtake It tells me when a light is red And when it goes to green It seems to know instinctively Just when to intervene It lists the vehicles just in front And all those to the rear And taking this into account It specifies my gear. I'm sure no other driver Has so helpful a device For when we leave and lock the car It still gives its advice It fills me up with counseling Each journey's pretty fraught So why don't I exchange it And get a quieter sort? Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, Makes sure I'm properly fed, It washes all my shirts and things And - keeps me warm in bed! Despite all these advantages And my tendency to scoff, I do wish that once in a while I could turn the damned thing off.

As one of the guys over here always say, sell the kids, keep the Z. Think he would, if his wife would allow. Hope you're not Zedless for too long.

bronzee replied to andy james's topic in Forced Induction
That's a nice amount of hp to be pushing, especially at the shoes. Are you going to race the thing, or is just going to be a very quick street machine? Much more power than that on the street, would be a bit of an animal to drive. I know you guys only think in hp, but over here we also think in kilowatts, so you could say you have a 700rwkw + Z. Nice!!!! -
We've got a tropical storm above at the moment. Monumental amounts of rain, rivers running down the paddock, never had that before. Lots of flash flooding around the city, and will be in the next city. A major motorway on-ramp/off-ramp was closed for 5 hours due to flooding, right beside the sea as well. If it makes you feel any better, but it is only 3 days into Spring though. http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/auckland/ne ... of-country
