Things are pretty hairy for me right now. I'm currently sitting at my desk at Jaguar/Land Rover! It's funny but it's not a lack of public interest in the cars but the lack of finance available for sales that is crippling everyone.

You live at b90 2rz? Knew I shouldn't have posted that AT link without checking it! Some shady characters on here!

I spent almost my entire time in Vegas either drunk or hungover which isn't hard to do when they ply you with booze everywhere! If you're down the Excaliber/NYNY end there's a big thing called Gameworks (I think) which is a kind of 3 story indoor arcade. Only it has every ridiculously high-tech games machine you can ever think of. I played Tekken there by standing in a kind of booth that sensed your moves and made you do them fighting onscreen and that was 4 years ago! It also had the worlds biggest indoor rockface if you fancied climbing while drunk/hungover/broke/naked (Delete as necessary) What a town!

I am fairly certain there is an entire government department dedicated to making forms as complicated as possible. Seriously though, as a business owner myself, it does seem often that the government wants a communist state simply because they make it so hard for any individual to make any money for himself. They force you to go through torture to give THEM money annually, then use it to literally threaten people via TV ads/letters/radio into paying them more money for Road Tax/Council Tax/TV Licence etc I'm not a particularly political person but it does annoy me Rant over..for now....

Ah no worries, I did get a bad feeling about it anyway. That's the problem when you are on the lookout for a car you want - you get too eager! Glad to know you guys are on the case. Thanks for helping out a muppet like me!

So as a noob I keep an eye on Autotrader etc for my dream Zed. Then I saw this: http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... gLetter=54 Bargain of the century or dodgy as? Sorry for the long link.

Ah I was right! Nice looking motor - I remember thinking 'That's similar to the one I want!'

Spotted last night heading up the Stratford Road from the Motorway into Shirley. B**5K** - That's all I can remember! I was in the Silver FTO, figured it might be one of the Solihull Zeds on here.

Welcome mate. My brother had a Pulsar for 3 days, wrote it off! - Mental car. He's now got a 200bhp original Mini...I don't think he's learned the lesson

I've just added myself to the event on FB. (That's the Tunnel Run one - not the bushes one!) Are you involved with Miss Banzai or one of the organisations?

I don't know if I should say? Promise I won't find you hiding in the bushes outside my house?.. lol I work in Reading town centre and live a few miles out of town, not far though New meet location: The bushes outside Lou's house WTTC

Ah a fellow FTO owner! Interesting mix of kits on there. DC sideskirts, Hiro rear spoiler and is that a VS rear?. But come on, all those kits and still rocking the jaffa cake side repeaters?!

Staff discounts not good then? 10% off 160,000.....I'll get saving!

I work at Jag/Land Rover/Aston Martin (They are all at the same site) and I never get tired of the Astons even though they drive around all day. It's a bit like torture though walking past a row of 10 DBS's into the office!

To find out full details of this scam please reply with your details: Name Address: Passport Number: Bank Details: With respects Dr. J Mubatwe Chief Executive- Nissan of Nigeria

hehe, I'm surprised there is such a Zed presence in the area - I never see any about! Just to clear things up I was living further down the Stratford Road (Towards Robin Hood) but now I'm right by Lighthall School, Shirley. So yeah I'm back in Solihull...and can be a snob again!

Great vengeance, furious anger...and a kiss?!

I speak a little Chav. Hang on a sec.... ----- Safesafe blud, whatagwaan? Dat Ford sounds bad innit. I had a minted Corsa runnin 600bhp cus of an ebay eletric supacharger nd drilled back box,. - Was rapid! Used to rinse the Sainsburys car park racers! Anywayz I see ya at teh next meet. (the off-license) laterz --------- -------- /

One of the sexiest cars ever. I always wanted one of those or a Charger. Non-too practical in this country though what with fuel prices...and corners

Awesome thanks guys - you are wise like an automotive Yoda! I'll keep an eye out for these early JDMs then. Ian - whereabouts in Brum are you? I'm in South Bham - Hall Green/Shirley area.

Hey guys, as I mentioned before I'm eyeing up my first Z very soon. Especially with the prices of early import models at the mo. But after reading a lot about Zed performance mods I have 2 questions: 1. Its been mentioned that some early Jap models can be modded for performance (E.G Filter, exhaust etc) and hold onto the bhp increase without the usual ECU smack-down. Is this proven fact? and if so 2. Which models/years does it apply to? Obviously I'll be on the lookout for one if it's true! Thanks (Sorry if it's been covered before - I couldn't see it)

Hey guys! I'm brand spanking new on here, currently an FTO owner and while it's been a great car (and I thought nothing would replace it) I've been after something a bit newer with more oomph! So Ive been flirting with the Zed for a while. (Don't tell the S2K in the car park ). I'm saving like a beast and reckon in a couple of months I should be a proud new owner. - I'm wondering though are the £7/8 Grand motors on Autotrader going to be dogs or have prices just really fallen? - Oh and do you guys do a printed newsletter? I've done one for a few owners clubs etc in the past. Cheers guys! Phil
