Mods can you please lock thanks.

Glwts mate, looks beautiful!

 

Ive got an itch to buy a 350z roadster and sell my one, looking at this fine example of a roadster is certainly not helping me

Haha, well if you're after a roadster you couldn't go far wrong with this one. Doesn't need anything doing to it and you a stunner.

Think that's everything but could have forgotten something!!

Car is immaculate and only ever used in summer (only good weather) and garaged in winter. Never missed a beat and only ever had to have battery replaced. I have lots of original parts (inc bumpers and skirts) so can easily be put back to standard if you so wish and sell on additional items. Only ever used quality cleaning products, you won't be disappointed with this car.

Now the big detail, price. £7,800 ono. Looking on the autotrader this is pitched at similar mileage cars but you get all these extras included. Very reasonable price for a car guaranteed to turn heads. Just been to Le Man and it grabbed just as much attention as supercars. PM me if interested.

Now for the pictures:

+1, drove all the down to SE France and back, almost everywhere we went drew looks (admiring) I hope Didn't see a single Zed in 1800 miles or so

 

Dunno about you guys but my Zed was getting so much attention in France. Never experienced anything like it!

I got loads at the British welcome and I think it was the cheapest car in the show. I only saw two other Zed's, one UK and one French. I also passed the Delta Wing team convoying back to the UK and then were beeping and filming me.

I have just got back from Le Man and stayed in a chalet in Spay. It was better than camping for facilities etc and far enough away from the track to get some proper sleep. Its not too far to drive to Mulsanne's corner, Arnage or the village so the better option for me as I'm not a fan of camping.

I was just about to leave Mulsanne when Anthony Davidson had his spectacular crash.

I'm traveling down and taking the tunnel. Setting off Tuesday and having an overnight stay in Rouen and then arrive in Le Man on Wednesday.

Hopefully it won't leave the club, just me.

Its finding the time. I am so busy with work, I own and run my own football team and I am playing golf loads. I just don't have time to go out and enjoy a drive any more like I used to.

Its more down to not enough time than the time is nigh. I have only put about 2k on her this year and as good as it looks sat on the drive I just think someone who drives it more would get more out of it. I am hoping I don't have to part out as going to be asking for a reasonable amount as is and with all OEM bumpers if someone wants to go back to stock and have a very very low mileage Roadster but I will let you know if I am going to open it up to the scavengers.

@Grant - typical, flippin typical. That means you can't miss the August drive, BBQ and the dogs. You're far to busy and by default you must not book anything for August apart from the Midlands bash

By August I don't plan on owning a Zed. I am putting the car up for sale as soon as I get from Le Man.

How did I know it was going to be this weekend after your facebook message. I will be in Le Man in with my Zed watching the race. Have fun guys.

Not sure if it will mean the headlight washers are made redundant but i think i could live with that.

Is that not an MOT failure now though?

It will be an MOT failure under the new rules as discussed on here. If the car has headlight washers as standard then they must be working otherwise its a failure.

there are instructions inside the boot lid, demonstrating how to fit two lots of clubs in.

I'd be very surprised if you could get two sets of clubs in roadster with the size of the newer bags. You wouldn't get a trolley bag in on its own and my standbag complete fills it and I can only just get my driver in beside it.

You have to take the driver out of the bag and place it in the boot seperately buy you can fit a standbag in there no problems. Mine even had a little picture of how to fit a golf bag into the boot.

Ian, I'm not going to be able to make this Sunday now. My parents are coming down from Sheffield on Sunday. if you could give my 10mm socket to Brillomaster though then I can get it back from him as he is only down the road in Leamington from me.

Get another one booked soon so I can attend.

Agreed, and it's the initial come join in that's needed. I always said I'd leave my car standard but after seeing other cars it gave me immense inspiration.

 

I enjoy the local meets more for having a social chat and meeting up with old friends more than anything.

I remember your first meet Ian and you were stunned at how we all knew specific products just by looking at them and where they were from. Now look at you, doesn't take long does it?!?

And yes sun please as you know my car doesn't actually have a roof!!!

It has always been a declining number for some reason. A lot of people seemed to not want to come because of being standard, maybe something that needs to be highlighted that it isn't a modified specific thing. I must admit I was a little weary when mine was standard, might have just been my perception but something to think about.

Hopefully someone will snap it up as mechincally its never faulted and its only done 27k so a cheap low mileage car for someone. Then its the big decision, what do I do!!!!

 

Gotta be more midlanders out there! Meet, chat and drive with fellow zedders on a sunday afternoon, whats not to like!

 

to the Midlands

 

There's always a lack of people who want to get out of bed to enjoy their Zed on a Sunday morning this is why I head out to other not so local meets. I don't know why but from the mailing list we'll be lucky to hit 10% really odd. The mailing list even contains people from the south who are dedicated to travelling as we struggle to get attendance.

 

We shall see and hopefully get a nice handful of Zeds.

 

 

 

Grant I've still got your 10mm I'll bring it along like you say you've got my number so pop along. Are still contemplating selling up?

The numbers seem to have dropped since Ian took over as meet organiser!! I will definitely pop along once I have finished at football. Will text you to find out where you are.

Yeah once I get back from Le Man I think I am going to pop her up for sale. I think its easier to say it now than it will be to do it June though. Even though I have all the standard bumpers, skirts etc to put back on I can't strip and sell seperately so will sell everything together and let someone decide if they want to put back to stock. I know the kit isn't to everyones taste but most people usually say it looks good on mine so unless they are liars I think its a good looking car as it is and stands out without being too in your face........hopefully!!

I might be interested in this, even if its only to get my 10mm socket back!!

I would have to join after I have finished football though, I don't have free Sunday mornings owning a football team now!! Could just drop you a text Ian to see where you are. It will be the first month of drivign for me and first outing after being in bed all winter.

Done.

I don't think the JapSpeed Y pipe is bad, I have one on my car and no fitment issues at all. With JapSpeed it was mainly their K2 exhuast (although I also have that on my car and not really an issue) and their customer service that has gotten them their bad reputation.

I think a popular y pipe is the XYZ though, sure the traders will be able to provide these or suggest alternatives. Try the usual:

CS, ZMANALEX, Tarmac, R35LEE, Abbey, Horsham etc (sorry I missed anyone off, not intentional). They will give you good options and prices. I understand your beef with Scorpion but it is a good exhuast and you may have just got some bad attitude stall guys, the traders will look after you and as said they have replaced exhuasts without too much hassle.

Main issue with the K1 will be bleeding ears, its very loud!!! Scorpion is decent system and quality fitment according to people.

Are these available in brembo and none Brembo Mitz?

Where about's in the Midlands? I have used a great place in Kenilworth previously.

I'm not Terry's biggest fan but in a way I hope he is found not guilty just so the FA get some egg on their face by losing Capello. We have a good record with Capello and the main points are the FA shouldn't have the right to dictate the captain and Terry shouldn't be punished until he has faced a fair trail. You wouldn't be happy being laid off on someone else's word without fair trail.
