  1. Love these photos, great shot. No matter how much you think about, just mind blowing http://djer.roe.ac.uk/vsa/vvv/iipmoovie ... vgps5.html
  2. Came from an EP3 myself. The Zed had looks to die for, sounded amazing and I'd always longed for one. In the end I just didn't gel with it. As others have said, it just didn't put the smile on my face that the Type R did. With the Type R I'd go for a quick spin just for the hell of it, and was still doing so 6 years in. As with any purchase like this test drive first. Unfortunately, it took about 6 months of ownership before I realised the Zed was not really the car for me. Different horses for different courses as they say.......I’m now back in a hot hatch....and loving it
  3. Friday regular myself if I'm not working
  4. Ok, so who's the blue 350z owner who frequents the Indian Dream restaurant? I was talking to the owner's son last week (owns a lovely Supra) about my ex Zed and owners clubs. He mentioned another customer who owned a blue 350z who had been on the recent Wales run and shown him a few videos. I congratulate you....great taste in cars and food
  5. Just been looking at old pics of my '57 Zed to confirm what I already knew. Definitely a wider gap on the near side. One of those things that bugs you when you know it's there but no one else would ever notice. Visible in the first two pics here viewtopic.php?f=34&t=16938
  6. Had a high biting point on mine when I bought it with 5k on the clock. Still exactly the same at 30k when I sold it.
  7. Google sky on mine as well. Also enjoying Cut the Rope. Must say that for the Halloween period Zombie Booth was fantastic . If your phone has got the horse power to run it give it a go!
  8. ...searched for dubstep. I had the car, I had the hair......but never had those moves
  9. The wife just spotted my old Zed at the crossing by Olton station. Said it sounded great

    Sat Nav Disk

    Although the Zed has now gone I can confirm that you can back them up. My original dvd was badly scratched when I got the car, though it still worked perfectly. Just in case it packed up I made a back up. I think it's fairly fussy about the type of burner and disk used. Took two attempts to get a working copy. I used a verbatim disc and a Lite-on burner on the slowest speed with Alcohol 120. If you have to buy the kit from scratch it may well turn out cheaper to buy from the link in this discussion
  11. Though the latest map versions work I believe the necessary software upgrade, that allows speed camera warnings, is only compatible with Renault systems.
  12. Have a great time peeps. Hope the weather is top notch and look forward to the photos
  13. A few years ago I was driving past Coventry Uni. A group of lads were waiting to cross the road, possibly Chinese or Japanese. Windows were down, as the sun was out, and as I drove past they all looked and, in unison, said 'AHHH Nissan'. Made me smile. Similar to a previous post, lady at work asked if it had a 2L engine
  14. 3 days left with mine. No doubting it's a fantastic car but somehow I just didn't gel with it Hope you enjoy your new motor
  15. Gorgeous car, still can't believe the bad timing with my Z going So no Wales for me
  16. Sold my CTR + savings + preferable rate lone from the wife
  17. Though he doesn't know it yet Just came out of a new group guitar lesson. Walked back to the car park with chap to have a look at his new car. Brand spanking new bianco eldorado white Maserati Granturismo S. What a beauty. Was getting dark at the time so couldn't really get a good look inside but oh the sound!!!!! He blipped the throttle a few times and it was OBSCENE (in a nice way). No test drive though so just followed him down the road with my windows open to take the sound in (think he must have had the sport button pressed). The Zed sounded somewhat lacking as he disappeared into the distance but I guess that's understandable comparing it to an £80K+ car
  18. Good luck, same boat as me
  19. I have a '57 plate Ibizu black GT. I was expecting to get a PX offer of around 9K as they usually take the P . Ended up with an offer of 12k for the Z and £850 off the new car plus the usual mats, full tank of fuel and 3 years servicing so happy with that. Think I would have struggled to get a quick sale putting it up for that privately though the dealers did describe it as 'mint' and 'out of the box'. One even thought it had superguard paint protection as the dodo juice purple haze was doing such a good job of making it sparkle .
  20. The usual story I'm afraid. New mortgage and other changes in salary have altered my priorities a bit. Therefore I'm part exchanging the Z later this week . Came from a hot hatch to the giddy heights of the Z but now returning to a lukewarm small car. The Z was known as the Beast, I guess the new car will be known as the mosquito Poor timing as well as the mighty Wales drive awaits. Will be sure to hide some 350z-uk cards around the car when it goes. I'm sure I'll carry on frequenting the site until I gradually drive off into the sunset . Definitely one of the best car forums I've had the pleasure of being a member of.
  21. No time for a mini meet now.....sadly Z will probably be gone by the end of the week. Will post my farewells in the general section
