HEADPHONES

I was very lucky with the weather today. Headed towards the M6 at about 6.40am just as the sun was starting to appear. Headed down the B5359 then to A535 to meet jn 15. Was dry. Road almost completely empty Was twighlight so you could still see the road ahead but oncoming cars had lights on prewarning you of approach around bends and bushes. Mostly 50/60/derestricted twisty roads and a Zed What more could you ask for. The cherry on the cake was my return journey was dry too despite it raining all day in-between. Dashcam was playing up otherwise I'd have posted a video. Didn't even have to break the limits to enjoy the drive as I thought 50-60mph in 3rd on the twistys was pleasure enough.

What cars are tempting you to part with this beauty?

Was a great day out despite the rain. I saw these aftermarket rear indicators today which I thought were lush. The fact they were on this freshly resprayed beauty probably had something to do with my attraction.

Sent the day with the kids at Manchester Anime Gaming Con. The highlight of the day for me was seeing the Anime themed Mx5s parked outside. Definitely suit neons

Thanks for all the advice. @Jack94 the Philips bulbs are a gorgeous upgrade. Gone are the faint yellow candle like sidelights. New ones about 4x brighter in my opinion and match well with the main lights.

Another Manchester member Along with "Mr V6" that makes 3 of us I know of Just got my zed ready. Yesterday was a bit of a nightmare. Went to change my blown side lights. 5 min job they said No need to remove the wheel they said. So I jacked up the car. Full steering lock Took off 3 arch clips Moved it aside Saw the bulb. After 1/2 hr of twisting on it with finger and thumb it wasn't budging So got my pliers. After 20 min of trying to get them on the bulb I dropped the pliers between the liner and the bumper via the red arrow where they found a new home marked "X" Then it went dark. So today after taking the kids out I took the wheel and the whole liner off. Fished out my pliers. Got them on the bulb with ease and fitted my new ones ready for tomorrow. Don't know why I then washed it as I'll be driving 2 hours in torrential rain to the meet. Alas I'll seek solace in watching the beading from my Sonax BSD drying aid at least.

I've jacked up the front. Got access to the bulb. Is it normal to be stiff as hell? Worried about putting pliers on and forcing an anti clockwise turn to get it out in case I snap something

See if the brake lights come on normally but only when the brake pedal is depressed more than about 5mm. If so the switch may be ok but may just need repositioning to not seat so deep.

Very high standard of finish I get nervy just removing any trim, let alone cutting intricate pieces out!

Nearly 3 weeks after adjustment and no lights came back. I do love a 5 min FREE fix

Ahhhhh. The Achilles heel of the Zed family......... I feel your pain.

Welcome back to the OC. That's a really interesting car history there that made a great read. Looking forward to hearing more of your motoring exploits.

Like watching a game of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune!

My missus will check with work on Monday. Hopefully I don't have to mind the kids and I can attend. Will be a first for me.

Ask the garage if there was anyone asking about "a Volvo" that day..........

Damn..... You couldn't make this $h!# up!!!!

Winter's coming! I gotta be like a squirrel and get them reserves up

Were you a forum member back in your zed days? If not, better late than never. Welcome to the OC

I remember reading about this in EVO magazine when the Nissan bods created it. Glad to hear it's still in good health. Bilstein should sell that shock and spring package that they developed. It sounds like a good setup for UK roads.

I saw your zed, but I don't even know if I got to speak to you at all in person. I would have said a personal belated thank you for my boot divider!

Similar taste to this one I know of

But think of the bonus extras. Prime example is that lady that asked if she could leave her Corsa behind and go home with Ken in his Gtr

Was well worth the 4 & 1/2 hour round trip. Despite rain all the way there, it was dry on arrival until the last 10 mins Two free bacon butties each was a bonus. Should have taken a picture of Andy Muxlow's "Zed Hoodie" A true work of art that induced a bad case of "hoodie envy". Ken's comment cracked me up as he pointed to my rims.... "Did you know that those LMGT4s also came with diamond cut lips?" 2hrs of driving there in the rain made them look so manky he thought they were satin grey until I swiped with my finger to show the diamond cut finish below Great meeting you all and seeing a really nice variety of cars new and old.
