Newbie

Welcome, I have to agree with Pastry on the colour front and it has the fantastic whippy too. Your now part of the whippy club :thumbsup:
 
Re the go gently, in the last month of my old zed I managed to scrape 3 wheels and the bumper :tumbleweed: so I'm driving very nervously at the moment ( avoid Mitchell st car park in Glasgow, the ramps are tight ! Oh and st James centre in Edinburgh too )
 
No, I meant more go gently with the stonechip paintbrush/applicator - if used. I remember standing back to wonder and marvel at my brush skills after filling in a multitude of stonechips and thinking: 'it looks worse now than before you muppet!'.
Don't know if it was a different-shade problem but there always seemed to be a sort of shadow/dark spot after applying, even though I took every caution to get the paint even, followed by a smattering of laquer.

But yeah, going gently while driving always helps. And staying away from 155mph on the Autobahns helps too :oops:
 
Ahh Chris I see, I used to work at a car wash ( one I hasten to add I would NEVER use)
.... always best to go to a specialist for paint jobs ! We have some great roads for driving in East Lothian, I can honestly say I have never driven at 155mph, knowing my luck I'd get caught ' :roll:
 
If ur bimmers capable, EVERYONE should experience the exhilaration of doing 100mph+ at least once or twice!
Take it over to the nurburgring and let rip on the Dottinger Hohe. Lots of de-restricted autobahn on the way there too :wink:
Anyway, less chit chat, more pics laydee!
 
My hubby had a lotus exige, it was never quite the same after the Nurburg ring :cry: . Don't think I'll be doing that . I've just made seen my old Z on the Eastern website...looking good and would be a great buy for anyone ...wish we had haggled on the trade in now ! I see they've changed my old wheels :rofl: Will take pictures over the weekend

You can tell I'm new, what's a whippy !

It is the beautiful, long and slender aerial that graces the rear of your Zed.

Some of the more deluded members on the Forum seem to think that the dwarf/midget/stumpy aerials look better, but they are wrong! :lol:
 
Ahh, thank you...to be honest I hadn't even noticed it :oops: .... Too busy enjoying the roof down, heated seats and recording my favourite cd's ....I will have a look in the morning ! I have noticed some posts on stumpy aerials and did wonder ....

Stubbys are the best look. Whipys are for people who enjoy questionable bedroom antics.

I have heard some of the more 'elderly' forum members have a floppy one, or whippy as they like to call it but hey, you'll always find people who love antiques :P
 
This thread is becoming far far too ambiguous. I suggest we quit while we're ahead....?

Haha, yeah. She's not really into some of the kinky stuff i'm into. :evil:
I won't extrapolate. This is a polite forum populated with predominantly polite people. :P
