Welcome welcome, enjoy car and this bunch [ I think some of them may be a bit mad].

Had this on other cars before but not the Zed yet. Dents usually removed for £40-50 per panel as long as not dented along body crease lines.

Wanda's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, 'I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the worktop, and I'll send you a cheque.' 'Oh, by the way don't worry about my dog Spike. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!' 'I repeat; DO NOT talk to my parrot!! When the repairman arrived at Wanda's apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he had ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just lay there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work. The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, 'Shut up, you stupid, ugly bird!' To which the parrot replied, 'Get him, Spike!'

Simply brilliant

The point is not house bricks they will crumble and flake very quickly. Various colour finishes possible. another Route would be a concrete edging with an imprinted pattern / die around it. Certainly edging the slab is quickest / cheapest solution but getting it to look tied in to style and not a glaring addition is the devil in the detail. My guess is same/similar colour as garage brick might work best and then the width of the edging becomes a factor same width as path through gate ? maybe but then adding cost, would 3 width brick work best to not look stingy and give shallower slope. Best of luck with it.

Don't recommend topping up gravel as it looks like you have a couple of inches of it already. Common problem is not having a consolidated base and with a gripping grit on top before the finished layer of gravel, this is why many gravel drives are soft underfoot. Simplest fix looks like a double / treble row of drive bricks sloping down around base to blend in with bricks of house / garage colour and to gradually lower that edge on all 3 sides. Not sure if you should put them in front of edge where your Azure wheelie bin is though, worth drawing it out to see what it looks like, might tie in better. Probably cost effective a way to do it that is practical and looks intended.

Couldn't see searching but suspect it must have been talked about before. Decided to RTFM and came across some suggested driving routes in the UK, was just wondering if anyone had done all or any of them ? I thought if I was near any in my travels I might try them out.

Another one carded, probably caught on security camera. I've taken to driving the long way round car parks looking for them to card. GM, Rays ****GSY, had even folded in the mirrors. have the photo but just messed up USB drivers trying something out.

Sunday 12:00 ish going from Glastonbury to Wells top down with passenger, I waved and flashed but not a flicker of recognition.

I was too slow and driving a fabulous Nissan Note to get details other than; GT in GM going past central railway station coming from the Casino direction.

Joined late last year and interestingly it was this place I found quicker than the other one. So still a new comer for some time to come, I guess.

Happy birthday ! Enjoy, enjoy !

This guy was lonely so he decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede (100-legged bug [ OK, they don't actually have 100 legs but...]) , which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar to have a drink. [where all show offs take something to show off]. So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a beer?" But there was no answer from his new pet. This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?" But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his face against the centipedes house and started shouting, "Hey in there! Would you like to go to Frank's place and have a drink with me? A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my f %^&ing shoes."

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?" The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars." "What that tell you?" asked Tonto. The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you, Tonto?" Tonto is silent for a moment, then says, "Kemo Sabe, you dumber then buffalo @*!#. Someone has stolen tent."

Two English businessmen in London were sitting down for a break, In their soon-to be, new store. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, 'I bet any minute now some thick tourist is going to walk by, put his face to the window and ask what we're selling.' No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious Australian walked to the window, had a peek, and in a broad Australian accent Asked 'What are you selling here?' One of the men replied sarcastically, 'We're selling arse-holes.' Without skipping a beat, the Australian said, 'You are doing well ... Only Two left!'

Left you a card under your wiper, good of you to park only 5 spaces away. Thursday early evening, only thought to post a pic after I'd paid and left.

I was depressed last night so I called the Samaritans. I got put through to a call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got all excited, and asked me if I could drive a lorry.

Back - tonnes of posts to read and of course more lame jokes to catch up on along with loads of other apparently important stuff or so I'm told. Anyway, first lame one then back with a minor quality check on the new stock in a few hours time. A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, 'If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.' The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, 'Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!' The woman said, 'That's okay.' For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, 'You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to'. The woman replied, 'That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me.' So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world! For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, 'That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you.' The woman said, 'That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine.' So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, 'I'd like a mild heart attack.' Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them. Attention female readers : This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good. Male readers : Please scroll down. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. ... ... ... .... ... ... ... ... The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife. Moral of the story : Women are really dumb but think they're really smart. Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show. PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never ever listen, now run along and put the kettle on, there's a love.

This may be sharing a bit too much of the odd thoughts and observations that spring to mind when I've been traveling around. Has anyone else noticed and if you haven't before I suspect you'll test it sometime in the near future, that when you change lane on a Motorway it is nearly impossible to do so without one wheel going over a cats eye ?

Had the Audi done a couple of months ago as I thought car was pulling a bit to one side and was only a little out but cost £20 plus lovely VAT. Maybe it is my imagination but I thought you could tell when driving to/fro on flatish straight road and lightly turning. Maybe because Zed steering feels heavier it is harder to tell, I'm going to have to see if I can feel for this on next trip.

You driving it or it pushing it? If I see more than 20mpg its a treat, but then when my other 'alf when on board she seems to think I drive too fast so perhaps that's the reason Nope, genuine return on fuel. I don't usually have slow traffic to deal with and only a few short runs so that will help a lot, and when no point in sitting in higher revs I don't tend to, and of course I use the full rev range at times but due to legal speed limits not in the higher gears. I've found if I really want to I can get up to high 20's on a tank but it is a bit boring. Re: other 'alf see http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11184

Don't start me on carbon footprint, I think I had 30 flights last year.. Most different airports in a week in last 5 years was 9 different ones; Most long haul flights in a year was 23, 17 Trans Atlantic being the shorter ones, plus a host of local Europe stuff. Longest trip for shortest stay was Melbourne return flight for 34 hour stay. All very very , last few months only 4 flights all European, much better !

Some of the better drivers needed for that procedure

The fuel consumption isn't going to change the way I drive. If I want a bit of fun on twisty stuff then it is all condition/traffic dependent. That said averaging just over 25 mpg according to readout, when it gets below a quarter tank I fill up at next better priced garage, mostly 95 but every 4th fill is 97, not sure if that is better/ worse but makes me feel kinder to pocket and car. Last 6 weeks I've done 3,250 miles and I am not going to look at the petrol bill, that wasn't the point of getting the car. I'll have lower mileage in coming 6 weeks as a lot of flying around coming up, so still a fairly large carbon footprint but in my case much much lower than in previous years.

Slightly serious note:- It is a Leap Year so be very careful on all fronts, who knows what is in mind I'm guessing you've been to NY before, but if not lifts in I think Marriot are worth a visit along with brunch, small amusement. I found UN tour more interesting than I thought, but then that might be expectations being low. Little Italy fantastic food and really good fun especially with a local, cab it to and fro though. Been to Chinatown with the daughter of the supplier of equipment to the restaurants, really great service for some reason, great food too. Worth a visit if you like that type of food. Shopping shopping shopping you will undoubtedly have to endure, sorry dure should be replaced by joy. Ground Zero should be visited. I'm lucky in that I have a friend who's apartment and own roof garden overlooks Central Park and knows lots of locals, suggest you make friends with hotel staff really fast, lots of good recommendations will follow
