Also would you recommend those snow socks?? Ever tried them??

 

Snow socks are OK - good for getting you out of crap if you're away from home and the snow comes down. If you have the cash, buy some 17s and put winter tyres on. It'll be like driving a 4x4 and you'll preserve your OEM alloys from all the salt/grit on the roads.

I have had just over a year of trouble free motoring and now a company car is going to force the sale of my Zed.

It is a UK GT spec car so has the usual sat nav, bose stereo, Rays etc etc

Also fitted (courtesy of CS):

JWT popcharger

Eibach 20mm spacers

HEL brake lines with 5.1 fluid.

I'll be sorry to see it go and I'm not going to let it go for a silly price so sensible offers only and no time wasters please.

Copious pictures:

I was driving with the Mrs the other day and went past a field full of horse, I mentioned that I'd finally seen somewhere with more nags than the passenger seat...

Just booked a pointless day out for the love of the Zed, having a day trip from Tamworth to Belgium and back.

Might as well stock my mum up with fags while I'm there - anyone know any cheap places to get them?

I'm no finance guy, but could the Administrators handling the now defunct original leasing company shed any light?

I couldn't believe it, I came out of the hotel following two modified Zeds (one blue, one white), got to the first roundabout and they went but I got stuck behind 4 or five cars then a white van, got to the next roundabout and they'd gone and my map had fallen into the passenger footwell so I saw a red Zed and followed that, after reaching to get the map I realised I had taken the wrong turn then looked in the mirror to see a fleet of Zeds behind me I thought "that's it, five mins into my first meet and I've buggered it" Thankfully the guy behind me (FP53...) went around me (I pulled over) and I followed him into Llangollen!

 

It was me in FP53, I saw you waving me past and thought "oh crap, I don't know where we're going either!" I just followed the red zed and hoped he knew the way. That worked until near Ruthin where I lost him at a junction, which left me leading our convey. I thought there wasn't any point in pulling over because it didn't seem like you knew the way either so I dug out the directions, crossed my fingers and luckily we ended up at the Lake!

You blagged it very well, think we should organise the next event, how hard can it be.....?

I agree with the team completly. And also I live arround here.

 

Thank goodness I did not get a ban for 'Putting on a Hi-Vis vest and stopping all the traffic in Bala'.

 

Cos that's a road traffic offence, I think !!

The Village People took offence though

 

The sheep in Wales aren't all white and fluffy!

 

 

think we were some of those sheep

I'm sure I wasn't flavour of the week! I decided I knew a better, safer, more interesting, fun, exciting, economical route that enriched us all...

That's my line & I'm sticking with it!

Ignorance is bliss I find! I'm a modest user, probably do 1-2 tanks a month tootling to/from work, expect single figure mpgs on a track though!

Bottom line if you want to behave like total f***t go and do it by yourself and away from anybody else - go book yourself on a track day or something!

Works for me!

 

I really thought we might have had a serious accident there and I'm so glad everyone had the skill, judgement and good luck to avoid anything serious happening.

 

My money's on the good luck bit!!!

 

 

I always find that the safer you drive the luckier you get.

I'll take that as a compliment! I was feeling guilty after taking a wrong turn within a mile of leaving the hotel and having half the convoy follow me!

Wasn't me! I'm still here

Did have a horrid thought when I saw the recovery truck, saw it was a Pug 206, hope it wasn't one of our guys that caused it.

'fraid not guys, will be in Devon, unless you want to gatecrash the Mrs's family holiday and have a BBQ!

Not an invite! Don't get any ideas!

If that's not a sign....

That Mini has bad karma - get rid!

Been a zedder for nearly a year and I love it! Worth reading a few posts to see what age/spec you're after

....what can i say, our cars were made for driving not detailing

I thought I was the only one....

..........didn'y get one of the suicidal collies that almost put me into the hedge!

 

Jeez yes! I was up the front and saw them screaming down that track out the corner of my eye but had no time to warn any of you guys. I have to admit I looked in the wing mirror expecting the worst.

 

How you missed them / they missed you is still beyond me.

I have no idea either! Was convinced I'd be peeling them off at the next stop, think they tried to 'play' with Sparky too.

Hi Dave,

Shame about the wasted round trip, you should have joined us instead around Wales.

Sparky - did you see the Ferarri on the M54? Fantastic noise when he flew by!

Missed a few off..

(faffing with the camera and took this shot)

Byeeeeeeeee

Here's my few snaps - didn'y get one of the suicidal collies that almost put me into the hedge!

What about a Zed trip abroad? We could fill a ferry with Zeds
