Jim - very nice indeed. Can`t wait to see pics etc.

leadfoot - nice colour mate. I love the RX8; my boss is thinking about getting one as she`s a coupe fan but she can`t choose between the RX8, the 350Z or wait for the new SLK.

Decisions, decisions....it`s alright for some!

Luke, who forgot to flip back the fuel cap before taking the photo

Had the guy who put the numberplate on had a few the night before?

How many cars in the UK do you see with pi**ed number plates(LOTS!)

**luke667** · 01-15-2004, 05:36 AM

heeh vindaloo, here is the reason for the fuel cap... that was the day i got the car, and after washin it, i wanted to give it a full tank of diesel, so the car was only like 6 hours old to me...so when i went to the petrol station, i told my friend to fill er up while i go takin fotos, i think i took like 100 fotos that day hhe

at least it shows I was looking at your photos closely!

Anyway looks good.

Update people.

I spoke to Andrew at Lawton Automotive in Staffs ref ake pads and got nowehere! He told me that Lake make Megs pads, they`re no better than Megs pads and I should stick with Megs pads.

They cost loads, he only supplies to the trade (get this - fleet valeters and refinishers) so in a nutshell give up & go away!

Think I`ll try to get some from the USA instead - at least they`re a bit friendlier!

Had the same response to Menzerna enquiry @ Lawton. Ended up ordering from David (Autopia), excellent service & at current ex rates, a bargain.

Just ordered some more pads myself at a great price & very reasonble carriage charge.

Also small low value orders don`t attract the duty, so often it`s cheaper to have multiple small orders than one large one. The costs for postage goes up dramatically as the weight increases & you end up with the VAT etc.

Was thinking same thing myself - no duty on Pakshak order as it weighed next to nothing and same on the NXT wax I got from a friendly Autopian.

Just a shame we get the standard "trade only - anyone else is an idiot" response from Lake`s UK distributor!

The duty appears to depend on who sends it to you, how they mark the customs form and whether it comes via USPS or other shipping methods.

I have had a few very good results courtesy of USPS and *well marked* PaCkages

I`ll say no more
