Sorry to disappoint in terms of the Hyundai, but I quite fancy THIS I won't be buying a SUV of any type, I/we don't need a huge bloated car these days, and I quite like the idea of a pocket rocket, and as the newer BMW "mini" is bigger than a 75 then the better pastiche is most certainly the 500. Of course I now have a very tasty Firefrost Nontemporaryasseur parked outside, and had a thoroughly enjoyable time driving it home Brian |

They are very nice Brian, quick enough to have fun, without being insainly fast which could cause loss of licence/life

Well, i did want to start the swap over of my original chrome cap mirrors with the newly painted powerfolds from my donor car but going out in the car today, wifey got in and I heard a very disappointing squelch from her footwell!! Looks like the good old sunroof leak has happened. I did fix the rear drains a while back but never got round to doing the front. After working on the sunroof when it was dry here the other month, I guess it still needs some fine adjustments to the glass level, as its never leaked before I moved the glass. The gap between the roof and glass has been temporarily sealed up with gorilla tape and it looks like my first week of my holiday next week will be spent trying to get rid of residual water and try to dry the carpets, but it hasnt stopped raining for long for weeks, not a happy chappy today!!!

got the water out of my offside indicator light- not possible to remove the unit without removing bumper, so used Jeycloths to soak it up and applied rubber grease tp the lightbulb gasket and hope that will do the job, we will see. Chris S.

What did I do with my ZT today?
Well, gave it a quick wash and then as it actually looked sunny I went for a drive. Down to Prestwick, over to Kilmarnock and then to Stewarton and Kilbirnie to Largs. Back to Kilwinning via West Kilbride and Ardrossan. Around 70 miles on A roads and B roads. Fantastic views, great roads and a brilliant car |

Got the calipers done. Didn't remove them but I think they look ok! You can see the wheel damage in this pic too, hence me wanting to change them .
