Apologies in advance, this is probably a bit OTT to most but I couldn’t help myself. I play a bit of golf, not particularly well but I enjoy it, and if the weather is nice it’s an excuse to take the Zed out. My family were asking for birthday present ideas and I said I would like a fancy...

I just couldn’t resist it. With the 260z being off the road, I thought I’d treat myself.

On ITV4 now. 1969 best affordable GT cars, including the Datsun 240Z. ITV4+1 at 21:00 And no doubt on catch-up at some point.

I know that if you’re precious about your car it is best to avoid these general hand wash places that are all over the place but for the daily smoker they’re usually fine. The chemicals they use no doubt damage the paint over time, the sponges will be trapping dirt scratching the paintwork etc...

Took two months for the cutters to get here from the states so comfortably missed by birthday and Father’s Day, but a bit of fun anyway EXTRA:D

This is the front bumper that came off my car when I got a shinier one a while back. It’s a bit scratched, it’s a bit dented, and the underside was painted black for some reason and there are no rubbers. There is quite a bit of rust on the inside but seems to be mainly surface rust (you can see...

I thought I’d offer these up here just in case they can be of use to anyone before I dispose of them. They were on my car when I got it. I don’t want any money for them, just the postage cost if anyone wants them.

What are some weird and old items that you have found while cleaning, stripping out or repairing your car? Maybe something you lost years ago and have found later, or something from a previous owner or something just completely unexplainable? Particular things that have no link to the car...

I bought these years ago when I first bought my Zed. At the time I assumed they’d fit my wheels but they don’t. They’ve been in storage ever since. There are six of them in varying conditions. Importantly, the pins on the back are mostly great (the best ones have the pins completely intact. So...

Cusco Type ST front strut bar (246 510 A) for sale. This is in ‘as new’ condition. Never fitted. £150 inc UK delivery.

I have a couple of full light units spare but some have issues (broken/rusty bolts etc) so I thought as it’s just the orange lenses that are really required by people with US imports I’d dismantle them to see if they are useable. It required the sealant heating up with a hairdryer to soften...

Well, of a sort :) I was bowled over when I received this for my birthday today from my wonderful mother. Especially as she created it! The attention to detail is amazing, unfortunately my rubbish phone camera doesn't completely pick everything up and do the thing justice. I haven't spotted...

I just thought I'd see if anyone one on here is involved or knows someone involved with used Nissan Pathfinder/Navara parts that I can contact? My timing chain snapped and took a good deal of the engine with it and the garage are trying to source a head for it. The first one they sourced is...

So as not to 'over moderate' and to reinstate the NEC Classic 2015 thread to 'on-topic' posts I have split the thread up into two separate ones. This thread here is for the continuation (should folk wish to) of the 'discussion' that turned the original thread into a bit of a mess. Off you...

For those interested, I was. Where was your car first sold? The two letter index on all UK number plates relates to the place where the car was first registered. The table below shows a selection of indexes and their corresponding towns. For example, if you have the registration 'ADU...

You can now check a vehicles MOT history on-line (it may have been up for a while but I've only just come across it), dates it has been tested and reasons it may have failed the first test. A useful way having an additional check on a car you may be considering purchasing. You'd know to ask or...

Great news. He'll do a brilliant job I'm sure.

Here's a heads up for this year's Croft Nostalgia Weekend in August. I was there last year and absolutely loved it. It's mostly pre 70's but there are he odd younger car there on club stands. There's is loads of military vehicles with some demonstrations (tanks firing shells on the circuit...

After the car was running a bit poorly I discovered that there is a little oil weeping from the head gasket. The car has also been blowing a little blue smoke from the exhaust if it has been sat idling so I assume the valve stem seals have also gone. I am going to have the gasket and seals...
