HEADPHONES

Happy Z hunting

So the lady pranged the SLK on the test drive. Mustn't laugh.....I did that to Almera gti back in '98 I'm glad we're not losing you to a Merc just yet. Hopefully see you tommorow Chris

My dad is in Malaysia and saw BMW Mini promoting their cars in a large shopping mall. Mini Cooper was on display. Price from $200,000 to $300,000 Malaysian At $5 to a £ that's £40-60k for a mini Take into account the average wage working in a shopping mall is about £1/hr (and taking this as minimum wage as an arbitrary figure), in real terms that's like paying 5x the list price to a local. You'd have to be mega wedged to pay £200k for a mini Import tax there is a biaatch

Sitting here at L&G for MOT and new belts watching over your zed for you

Dead jealous of your carport and garage. Car permanently in the shade protected from tree sap and uv. Detailing possible day or night whatever the weather

Good luck with your search. Glad you like the orange. The bronze flakes in the paint really "pop" out at night and under bright lights

Damn Glad the damage is only minor!

1) I cost my cornflakes every morning with lead filings and 99Ron fuel. 2) I cut the grass by pouring petrol over it and setting fire! 3) I chew on wild rabbits as a snack. 4) I blow my tyres up with my mouth. 5) I shave with a bowie knife. 6) I changed my oil and used my teeth to get the sup plug off! 7) I too changed my oil and drank the waste! 8) I eat my dinner with a pitch fork and machete. 9) My cat has been trained to be the local drug dealer 10) I drive a pick up truck. The manliest vehicle in the known universe 11) I am ians cats best customer 12) When servicing my car I don't use ramps, I hold my car up with my knees 13) I wear barbed wire instead of socks 14) I brush my teeth with a wire brush 15) I drink sand 16) I can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. That's twice as fast as my car. 17) I used hair straighteners to smash my teeth out when I got bored cleaning them. 18) when I cook tea I often cut my own finger off as a snack. 19) I ate Ian's cat because it gives short measures 20) I use sandpaper condoms. 21) I do my own electrical work - stripping wires with my teeth - and leave the supply on whilst doing it. 22) When I do push-ups my body stays still and the earth moves up and down 23) I pop into fine haberdasheries and say "Your hats are less than exceptional." 24) I got into a knife fight. The knife lost 25) I'm a lumber jack and I'm ok, I cut down trees and I wear high heels, suspenders and a bra - I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear papa...............is this the right thread ? 26) I aspire to turbo/supercharge everything I own, this includes the microwave 27) Even as a kid I could anhialate everyone at a game of conkers......USING MY LEFT NUT

MOT expired yesterday..........was sure it was end of the month So I'm driving around in the missus' mini Not a bad car......just not a zed. It's only been one day and I'm missing my zed already. Kicking myself for mixing up the expiry dates and was contemplating getting MOT from the ATS centre round the corner from work, but had visions of them wrecking the diff on the rollers or treating it to a rag around Manchester. Will wait til Friday when Lockwood and Greenwood can sort it

"if you mess up it needs to be WETSANDED OUT " Damn.......may have to rethink my sealant choice

First weekend with the zed. I remember it well. Spent all day driving around. I would've probably slept in it if the seats reclined all the way back

Get used to the grin........it's a permanent part of zed ownership

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEvsPM2ECz8 I just watched this and was gobsmacked. A bonnet done 50:50 being hit with a metal lighter showing the treated side unscratched This is what dealers should be offering instead of the overpriced outdated "supagaurd" Mr Wolf.....I take my hat off to you May just have to order this stuff!

Don't laugh at this poor guy. I scraped the front lip on my factory Nismo bumper the first time I brought it home from the dealership brand spanking new I dared not get out to inspect the damage for a few minutes. Luckily it was just a scuff on the underside. Now there is only one angle in and out of my drive that is safe. God forbid if anyone else has to drive the zed in or out the drive

Always nice to see another sunset owner. I find the colour mesmorising in the sun and at night under street lights.

Wow, from a 1.1 colt to a zed......you don't do things by halves! Congrats on the new zed

I'm sure you'll turn plenty of heads down in the Isle of White in your new chariot. Glad you found your way onto the forum. Really adds to the whole zed experience.

Those two tone seats really look the business and transform the interior. Tidy motor you have there

Some things should not be made to smell or taste nice. Years ago there was a bonjela type numbing cream that was strawberry flavour. My mate loved the taste so much he swished it round his mouth savouring the flavour.......TILL HIS WHOLE TONGUE AND PALATE WENT NUMB

M.O.T next week so thought I'd change the wipers. Popped into Tescos for parts, came home and started on the rear. Neighbour was washing his car, finished and I was still struggling with replacing the damn thing. EMBARRASING OR WHAT! Never remembered struggling that hard before even taking into account Nissans lovely "only raise by 1 inch" rear wiper arm Opened the other 18" blade to give that a go. Went on in 5 seconds......bleeding dodgy defective connector on the first one There's 30 min of my life I won't get back

Truly rapid!

Ooooo....FTO! Still reckon they are great looking cars and fancied one myself at one time. Welcome along

Happy hunting

I know I felt a little more "alert" when meeting a new member at a cinema car park to let him "feel my clutch" After chatting it seemed his missus was worried "I" might be some psycho using the forum to lure victims into my car On a serious note, has anyone heard of carjacking/mugging at such a rendezvous?

Welcome to the OC. Looks like another Zed has found a good home
