If you are not in a hurry to get a Zed take your time. Buying a second hand car is like finding a partner. You have to try out a lot of rubbish before you find the one you want; you know when it is right

I would like to get one at by the end of December before the TT's mot runs out.

I and really want to get one before the gurantee on the turbo runs out next March..

Dam thing cost £1200 and I don't want that to go agian..

Maybe.

 

 

Might just have replaced it rather than respraying it, but more likely a crash I'd say.......

Better to go for the other then I think..

Just hope its not gone so i can view it

No headlight washers would say to me that its a UK car that has had its bumper replaced at some point, for some reason.....

Like a crash you mean??

Everything about that car says UK car BUT it has no headlight washers.........hmmmmmmmmmm

It smells like a rat to me..

Yeah well the thing was that the one I was going to have from Ascot was overpriced at £13,500, but had he given me £7500 for the TT that would have balanced it out..

There is another one.. seems a bit cheap so bells are ringing in my head..

And as its Service history is not mentioned I'm assuming it has none..

It's on page 3..

Well there is a possable chance...

i have seen one at Ripley Derbyshire which is only 27 miles from me..

I will give them a call in the morning see if they still have it and if they'd px..

It's 6 months older and done 2k more but is almost 2 grand less..

I would expect much for trade in on Y reg TT.

You would or wouldn't?

Hi All..

Well what a complete waste of a day I have had..

Went down to Ascot for the 350Z.

When I got there he said my TT had Stone chips on it and would need respraying,..

The Car is a Y reg, so its bound to have to odd one its not that bad..

He also said the tyres where to worn..

Ok they are not brand new but they are only about a year old and done 5k..

So he would ony offer me 6K and he wouldn;t bydge on the £13,500 on the Zed..

And to be honest alough I had it RAC inspected, I was dissapointed in the condition of the dash board, it looked like someone had scratched at the plastic around the storage box and the edge of the heater controlls..

On top of that, alough he had kept the car for me, face to face there was just somethig I did not like about him..

He just left me sitting there 30 minutes before he'd even talk to me..

Needless to say I have come home with no Zed..

Back to square one now..

Byt I'm sure there will be the right one out there somewhere...

As a kid/teenager I loved Radio Caroline even though the reception wasn't very good. It was ventures like this that led to the creation of Radio 1 & the move towards entertaining younger people.

Yeah we have come a long way since Medium wave..

Internet radio etc..

Well, the weekend is coming to an end, and my Zed is sat in the drive. I had the long drive home with it yesterday, and been out for several rides today.

 

Yep, still grinning

Glad your enjoying it..

It's my turn today..

Just about to leave to go and get mine.

Anyone who's a bit of a radio Anorak like myself may remember Laser 558 which broadcast from the north sea from 1984, sadly was short lived..

There is broadcasts on the net at the moment to celebrate the 25th birthday.

If you fancy something more current..

Radio Caroline is still alive and well..

Talking of filling up..

What is the best fuel to fill up with??

Always used Shell V power in the TT..

I'd be supprised if it dosn't turn up on Youtube.

No It was just something I wondered about..

The Zed I'm getting is a uk car.

Just wondering why Insurance companies don't like inport cars?

Unless things have changed about 7 years ago when i was buying an MR2 they would not touch an inport..

Does anyone know why??

Ok will do..

I suppose once I'm used to how the car behaves I'll be ok..

Its not my first RWD did have a mark 2 MR2 once..

I span that round the other way once or twice, mind you no traction controll of course of esp anything like that..

But not anywhere near the power of the Zed.

Yours looks awesome. I'm going to look at a black Z tomorrow too(post is on this page)!

 

I'm kind of worried I'll fall in love with it and will have to blow all that cash on a shiny car!

I'm in no doubt you will.

one look your tempted..

A test drive and your hooked..

Simple rule of thumb is don't be putting the boot down when going round a roundabout or tight bend in the wet and all will be well.

Thanks..

I'm really looking forward to Monday when I get my Zed.

It's got to be one of the best if not the best sounding cars I have ever heard..

Thanks all.

Think you can understand i don't want to get the car and then spin it into a tree

I did test one in the wet I never felt amy lose of traction..

But that was on;y a 10 minutes test and i don't know the car that well.

Wasn't the Zed voted best car by Top Gear in 2004??

Maybe Clarckson should have thought of that

I hope people will excuse my typos..

I make no end of them

Ok Thanks not spotted that..

Also thanks for the heads on my typo

Hi all..

As from some of my previous posts you may know I am about to get a 350Z swapping from a 2001 TT..

Just one question I would appricateid someone could answer for me??

with the 350Z obvously being more powerful and being rear wheel drive..

Is the ESP going to keep a novice Z driver out of trouble. particularly in the wet??

Thanks.

Y reg 2001 TT..

Like it, but its time for a change..

I'm sure I'm doing the right thing having a zed..
