HEADPHONES

Welcome to the OC Hope you sort the niggles out easily

Look how much some of these are going for £18k for an 05!!!!

I like the classic Stang for weekends. Probably won't lose money on it. Then you need a practical daily. Something not as sparce as a Caterham (we all deserve AC nowadays) Something cheap on consumables, good load space which can do trips to the dump or fit a bike in the back (foldable rear seats and a hatch back). Something really fun to drive and still a bit special that will turn heads. Something that is only going up in price. So to partner your classic Stang I nominate THE DC5 INTEGRA TYPE R

How can you not remember THIS One of the most memorable racer intros EVER. I was truly hooked on the first Gran Tourismo. I hadn't seen anything like it. Yes it looks a bit Minecraft by today's standards but at the time it was class leading and so immersive that the pixels would disappear and it was like THE REAL DRIVING SIMULATOR

Here's a clue

Sent this to a fellow petrolhead born in the 70s and he said he'd never heard it before or any idea of its significance!!!!! I could hardly believe he'd forgotten this tunes significance. I reckon anyone born before 1990 doesn't deserve to be here on the OC if this doesn't bring back special memories. You might have to ffwd to 5:25 for sale me lyrics to jog your memory.

Visionary genius and supreme craftsmanship at work right there

Looking really tidy user there

One of the few cars that actually suit the smaller OEM rims Vs the ever increasing sizes the aftermarket trend encourages

I almost bought a Ford Kuga with a bodykit back in 2011 but was too too small for our needs. Loved the wheels.

Zed had no chance of seeing the cyclist. Cyclist had every opportunity to stop between the stationary cars and slowly peek out. Same if I was crossing the road on foot. Only a Joey would run between without looking!

Happy birthday and congratulations on the new arrival. Nissan definitely had a good eye for wheel design when they made the rims for the 370z. Looks like you have a soft spot for convertibles with the Mini sat alongside. We've had our Mini Cooper for 15 years and love ours to bits. I'm not sure if it's the same for the roadster as the coupe, but many owners pulled the fuse for the steering lock mechanism as it would prevent a more costly repair if it failed. Happy zed ownership and by the way, that grin doesn't go away. In years to come you'll still have the same grin every time

Love the sounds this American muscle car makes. From the engine to the clunks as he rifles through the gears and when he hits the Nos later on in the film

Those look awesome. What paint finish is that? Looks like gunmetal but brighter and more lustrous

Welcome to the OC Hard to believe that your car is nearly 20 years old.......still looks fresh with a purposeful road presence

Welcome to the OC Mat C Post up pics of your new chariot if you get time

Welcome to the OC

Or how about a brighter gold?

Very similar design to those Bola rs here

Can't beat the shiny rolled tip option

Welcome to the OC Gunmetal is a very flattering colour for the zed and helps show off those curvy arches

Exchanged a wave this morning

Welcome to the OC Gorgeous rare orange zed you have there

A big welcome from another Manchester member. That's a whole lotta car you managed to get hold of for £4k!!!! Proper looker and the wheels give it real presence despite you saying they're in bad shape. If you're ever in need of a Manchester garage who know their way round a Zed, try Lockwood and Greenwood in Audenshaw. They've been looking after many members for years and have looked after my zed for the past 14 years.
