BACON

Nice......there are some advantages to get old then!!! Looking forward to it already! Just renewed mine last week and it had gone up by 100% from 400 notes to 800 I couldn't believe it; I knew from reading similar posts on the forum and other Zed members experiences that there was a likely to be a hike coming but 100%, are they taking the p**s? Just before mine was due the wife's went through the roof also, so all in all last month was not a good month at all . I did negotiate and haggle with the "Flux" and manage to get them down to 600 notes but still an increase year on year of 50% which is not good in anyones eyes. The reasoning I was given by the customer service representative was that the company they dealt with last year and I was insured with, had decided not to deal with them this year and therefore my policy had to be moved to the "next best quoting company"........supposingly......I'm not synical or anything but not sure I believe them!

I always know when I really need to get the wash mitt and kit out.....when I start leaving little finger slide prints on the lids edge!!! Not a good look!

SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've told her its got more hills than the Alps!!! Someone delete this post immediately! I must admit I had to re-read Carla's post.....I thought she said she couldn't drive up in "Heels"....going along the whole feminine route and the sarcasm that followed!!! Makes a bit more sense now but Ricey....you must realise when you get to the Lakes and have somehow bypassed the forementioned "Alps", Carla is not going to be best pleased with ya!!!

Defo to that idea would be very interested. Rich have you got any idea on cost for these if you start covering them regularly?

+1 Only draw back with doing a 50 mile round trip to work every day, is that every other day a stop at the pumps is required! Now paying 136.9 for Premium....

+1

How mad is that!!! When you consider "confused.com" must be making a margin as well and therefore "Sheila's Wheels" will pocket even less of the final premium!!!

Zena!!! Beautiful, aggressive, strong lines, powerful but a softy when you get to know her and become one with her......named after "Zena the Warrior Princess".

I'll second that one!

to the mad house!!!

I agree!!! The more uninsured 'Pricks' on our roads the likelihood is that our premiums may come down a tad!

Hassan, however much do Nissan charge for their V.A.T. these days do they not conform to the goverments new 20% tax???

I love your interior bud and I have been looking to get my gear knob upgraded to one of those beauties from Kta.......out of curiosity which model is this that you have selected, is this the Aluminium or Stainless variety? Your choice from Kta appears far shorter than those pictured on the forum, is this a new design? Thanks,

It's been great over here in Norwich this week...dry sunny days with lovely dry roads but wow its been chilly in the morning. I left the other morning in a fairly spirited fashion thinking the roads were pretty good until I had one of the above mentioned "tail" moments....all I can say is "that ESP" gismo is bloody good stuff certainly straightened me up quick right! I started to worry I had perhaps done something wrong or a tyre had lost loads of air but I agree it was probably just a bit greasy with it still being early morning and little heat in the new Vredesteins!!!

Welcome to the mad house......if there's anything you need to know just ask because I can guarantee from my experience over the past few months, there's some very clever and knowledgeable guys and gals on here!

It's certainly different looking.......but I'm guessing this is a concept car and the final car won't actually look much like this at all.

My 2005 GT Zed has 2 knobs on the side of both seats and in regards to the electronic controls it has two buttons on the drivers seat and one on the passenger! Moving onto the heated part of the seats; both the base and back of the seats should heat up with the facility activated. If you click the centre console "rocker switch" located in front of the cubby hole at the back, then the seat is on a low heat and sporadically heats up to give a lower setting. If you click the button at the front, the heat is far more instant and intense so just all depends upon how cold it is! I tend to rock my seats onto high when I first get in my Zed on a cold morning to heat the cold leather and then once the car is nice and snug after a few miles I generally rock the heat onto a lower setting or off altogther!!! Hope this helps.

Very Cool ......I see it didn't take you long to update ya signature!!!

All the above are great ideas but not always viable depending upon the garage. When we moved house last year, one of my requests was to have a decent garage as I had never been able to put my car in a garage and I was just in the process of purchasing my Zed so this became even more important. The perfect house was found and it did have the stand alone garage and drive-way........so all happy. It wasn't until we moved and I tried to place her away on the first night I discovered the issue. Well I'm a thin chap and even with placing the Zed as far to the left side of the garage as humanly possible and with all of the above points listed; I still couldn't actually get put of the car once parked. I reckon I had about 3 inches to get out of the car and I'm not even this thin. So all in all I wasnt particularly happy......wifey over the moon though as her BM now has it's very own garage.....jealously is not my best side!!!

Any pics to show us after your work? That's of the LED improvement not ya knuckles!!!

Anyone cutting you a sneaky deal???

Oooo now there's a nice sideline for you John! but what we must remember is that we won't be able to have the lights on any form of dimming capacity though.......

Did you get a date out of it though? Stew, are you sure purple wasn't just her favourite colour???

How come you're selling the cover Redcupra??? Have you sold the Zed????
