"His fuel cap is open and that's way too loud IMO."
"Bet he hit his fuel cap searching for the tsc button lol"
Eagle eyes and well deduced guys.
Like Sherlock Holmes and Watson you two
Doesn't look it's age.
Don't see many Touring 18 inch rims in such good condition.
Shame really as they are a really smart design.
Just overshadowed by the lightweight Rays, which in my opinion don't look as nice.
That's why when the dealership was finalising my order on my zed I said I'd like the standard wheels "thank you very much"
What mileage you got on your Zed?
They say wheels make or break the car.
But in this case, the car makes me look at these rims differently.
Normally I'd rate the rims as nice, but with that stance, bodywork and finish, the rims look "Mr Kipling"......... EXCEEDINGLY GOOD
Welcome to the OC
It's a glorious weekend to acquire a new Zed.
I'm sure you'll look back on this bank holiday weekend with fond memories for years to come
Hi Harry.
That pic has me assuming you're pretty handy with a spanner.
To this day I've still not discovered where the safe place to put the axle stands is once the car is jacked up using the jacking points!
Looking forward to reading about your exploits with your zed
Interesting little read.
A friend of mine ran a Nissan Leaf for a year as his commuting car to and from work Warrington to Manchester, then an R35 on weekends.
Cost him peanuts to run and coped well with that commute of 100 miles a day.
He missed the noise of a combustion engine though.
So, being a true petrolhead he's replaced the Leaf with a Mustang Convertible!
I think you'd approve of him Stan as he's also kept a little MG for the past 30yrs.
Recently acquired a 4 door Aston too!
Keeps an estate Passat for camping duties though.
Nice job on the headlights and bodywork.
The Solution Finish mentioned by Zmanalex is a good about.
It's a very concentrated paint/dye.
A little goes a very long way
The times I have had comments at work with a hint of sinister undertones like
"You must be doing alright to drive a posh car like that"
It's normally from non car people that don't realise it's a 14 yr old car worth less than the 2 yr old focus that they're driving.
Just jealousy and spite from bitter people unhappy with their own lives.
Often their faces change to a nod of impressed acceptance when I tell them it's an 05 car that's worth about £5k!
